Came in at 4pm on a Wednesday, drafts were $1 off ($3 each, except for the Weasel Boy PawPaw, which was $4). Impressive bathroom - very clean, everything in good condition, even 4 spare TP rolls sitting out in the open in addition to the two wooden roll-holders. Great afternoon ambiance -- nice and quiet, chill jazz instrumental playing at a reasonable volume, plenty of good secluded seating (I took a table near the bar facing a large street-side window). About 40 different bottles to choose from in the cooler, and 6 rotating Ohio taps. Neither of my beers had any head or lace - maybe it’s the way they pour - but both were filled as close as possible to the very top of the glass, which was awesome. They also emphasize that their samples were free - not stingy at all, here. Got a bowl of vegetarian chili for about $3.50, looks nice, good presentation, great included tortilla chips. Pretty tasty. Cool place, will be back to try new Ohio beers as they become available, and possibly have a meal that is more than a snack.

Went here late in the evening, so no food was being served at the time. You walk in and the bar is immediately to the left, taps are close to the door and are loaded with some local goodies: jackie-o’s, great lakes, thirsty dog to name a few. They have lots of micros to choose from in the fridge directly behind the taps. Ambiance is good, lots of seating available and it seemed to draw a good crowd. There’s a stage for entertainment should that need to occur. Service was great. Almost as soon as I walked up to the bar and had a minute to look over the beer offerings, I had a bartender in front of me to ask what I would like. Quick and attentive service is always a plus in my book. The experience here was pretty good, I’ll have to come back earlier some day to try the food, I hear it’s awesome.

One of the better places to go in Athens if you don’t like the college bar scene. Their margaritas are famous throughout the town and have been dubbed casaritas. Their food is very good but expensive due to the fact that they buy a lot of local foods and try to keep things very eco-friendly. If you’re in town it’s a must for a drink and a bite to eat.

I understand and applaud the whole sustainability and regionality aspect of restaurants but produce some quality food as well. The winter burrito was blah and the side of jasmine rice with chopped parsley was completely out of place with a weird texture as well. The place is split into a bar side and restaurant side. Beer selection was mainly Great Lakes stuff with a couple of locals. Service is spotty at best

Hippy and international hang out. They usually have around half a dozen of Ohio beers on draft. Food is fairly good, but fairly expensive. Food service is usually below average, bar service is usually above average. They usually have a cover charge on weekend nights.

Been here lots of times since beginning my degree @ Ohio U. Usually a cover charge of 4 dollars at the door, keeps me away, the beer selection isnt bad, they usually have an Ohio type selection, either GLBC or Marietta or the Athens Local Jackie-O’s/O’Hooley’s Not bad and prices are fair.. very eclectic and dubbed The Hippie hangout of athens

Been to Casa dozens of times sine I moved here in 93. This is a worker owned cooperative Mexican/central American cuisine restaurant. In the past, the workers traded off and they would say your server today may be the chef tomorrow. So, service is spotty. Also, they share tips evenly; meaning that incentive is down for outstanding service. Lot’s of vegetarian offerings and one of the few places in southeast Ohio you can get spicy food that makes you sweat. One day the veggie special was Blackened Cajun Tofu. As to the beer, they’ve enlarged over the years and have the Casa Cantina, with quite a few beers. I can often find a beer I haven’t had before. And, they usually have some local tap-only beers from Marietta Brewing Company or Jackie O’s.
