This is a short drive from downtown. It’s definitely worth it to check out the selection. There is a massive amount of beers in coolers and on the shelves, but like many comparable stores, I wonder just how long some of this stuff has been sitting. They still had Highland Imperial Kashmir from last year. Plenty of good beer at very reasonable prices is available. Brew Dog Speyside and Ten Fidy were notable. There is a fair amount of imports as well as American micros. Stone’s products have just arrived and most are available here for $3.99, much cheaper than back home in TN.

Discovered this place on recent visit to Athens. This place is awesome, my friends and I were like kids in a candy store. Their selection of beer is the best I’ve ever seen. I think they have an even better selection of wine, and a very good selection of hard liquors as well. Service was very good, staff was very knowledgable and helpful with our selections.

Was very impressed with the selection! Most of the best beers in Georgia can be found here. The selection looks just as good as their original location. Staff friendly. Much more room than the orignal location. Great addition to Athens!

Wow! So I can finally browse the best beer selection in town and not be too cramped! This new store is run by and owned by the same people that run the original Five Points Bottle Shop (in Five Points). That means, that you can ask questions about beers and get good and honest answers. Currently their selection isn’t quite up to par with the old store, but over the next few months I fully expect it to overtake the original store’s selection (simply because they have room for more beer here). Tons of cooler room plus an equal amount of shelf space is divided by cases displayed on the floor. The craft beer has waaaay more cooler and shelf space than the macros. Overall, I think this will be a great asset to the west side of Athens. If they do what I think they’ll do with this place, there will never be a reason to go to Green’s again.
