Broney's Alumni Grill

I was there this weekend and go there two times:
First time the waitress was nice, my drink one margarita that was ok for the price was perfect but I wait 45 minutes for my bill and leave food classical bar food so nothing special.
Second time I came back for some drinks with my friends and I ask for Johnny walker blue label and the bartender reply my order with "blue label is too expense" I was mad and said him that my money is my problem so he said something to the owner that I saw him drinking with customers so probably he was drunk I spoke with him very nice what happened and said him that I want leave of his bar he became mad and the security come kind of aggressive and kick me out after that I said him that I want leave so was a really bad experience for me by the way I learn that 15 dls drink is too expense in this kind of bar

Context: Drinks with a Friend
Time of Visit: Sunday, 9:00PM

Preface: I was there at the end of Mom's Weekend, so campus was abnormally quiet for Spring.

I won't waste your time: Kiarash Z's review is pretty spot-on.  Even on a Sunday night, with few other patrons, it still took an inordinate amount of time to get the attention of the bartender.

But that champagne slushy (which was recommended by my friend and our sole reason for stopping)...it is the stuff dreams are made of.  Admittedly, I have a sweet tooth, but sweetness aside it was still outstanding.

I could sit on their patio and drink those for hours on end.  And $5 for a pretty big glass, a bargain to boot...

Don't know when I will be in Athens next, but you will probably see me at Broney's with one (or two-judge if you want) champagne slushies in hand.

I completely agree with Rob D. when he said that Broney's lacks character. The word I would describe the interior of Broney's is "cold". It's just a bunch of concrete and wood. Most nights the music is earsplittingly loud, which could be understandable when it's packed, but this is the case even when there are 15 people in the place.

I will say that Broney's has very good weekday drink deals and their beer selection is top-notch. Unless they've changed, it's $2.50 pints of anything on tap on Wednesdays. I really enjoy being able to grab a few pints of good beer when it's warm enough to relax on the patio.

When it comes to my choice of bars, Broney's isn't at the top of my list, but the drink specials and nice patio area keep it as a bar that I'll definitely stop into every once in a while.
