Jackie O’s Brewpub & Public House

Found this place while coming back home from a Jonas Brothers concert that was at Columbus on Sept. 6,2019. Was afraid that they didn't have food good thing I was wrong. I was excited that they had a bourbon barrel aged beer on tap. I found it very cool to have this place so close to me an hour away in a small college town. It is the same drive for me as it is to get to Charleston,WV.

30 taps, including 1 guest tap, that cover a wide range of beer styles. Moderate size with a long bar and tables both indoors and outside. Friendly, attentive service.

It doesn’t get any better than this really. I guess the only possible drawback to this, is the spot does get a bit busy. The staff and the locals are always friendly and this place has a great vibe to it, just like Athens does. The pizza is great, and they always have at least 20 to 30 beers or so to try on tap. This is a must stop for any beer lover if you ever get the chance. Still my favorite brewery.

Visited on a Friday during lunchtime. Located in downtown Athens, close to the college. Quaint pub with a nice atmosphere. Beer flights of any size available. Eclectic menu including burgers, vegetarian options, and pizza. The beer quality was outstanding here. All 8 beers we had were top notch. Around 6-8 beers available in the bottle to-go. This is a top notch brewery, and worth going out of your way to visit.

Unfortunately at my age college bars are annoying, loud and too busy. This place ticks all 3 boxes. Service was OK, friendly but they didn’t really know alot about the beer. Selection is huge and that is the big draw. Food was decent, but over priced for what you got. I ordered a burger and kid you not thought I was getting a slider. I prefer the other location, but if you want a better selection this is the place to be.

Love this place. Jackie os is a great bar in a college town that offers a wide variety of taps, and an awesome food selection. When busy, service can be slow, but the staff is always friendly and helpful. The public house side is larger, and the original pub side can sometimes suffer from an unpleasant aroma when crowded. Other than that, you would be hard pressed to find a more fun, relaxing place to drink amazing beers from such a large selection. Highly recommended!

Took my nephew back to school and we stopped in for a beer. It was a Tuesday night and the place was fairly crowded with an interesting mix of people. It was too late to try the food, but it looked good. They had lots of their own brews on tap and they allowed me to sample a few before settling in on a couple. Beers were good and so were the prices.

Downtown Athens. Big college vibe to the place. You have to order at the counter and then get your food when buzzed. I think I was expecting something more and different, but the food was solid and there was a good list.

I didn’t spend much time here because I had already tried most of the beers on tap and it was Ohio Beer Week so there were several other bars to hit for unexplored breweries and beers. The place looked well put together and all the other folks with my party seemed to be having a great time. I did purchase and drink one draft brew. I had to elbow my way up close to the bar to order, but that happens to me everywhere. 5’9" doesn’t seem all that short until it’s time to order a beer in a crowded brewpub or bar. I remember some TV showing sports and the lighting seemed to be dim. I like all those things. ’nuff said.

Classic dark wood-heavy brewpub with an expansive selection of beers on tap. With the variety and quality of Jackie O’s, you’re almost assured at least one gem whenever you go. I’d be here a lot if I lived in the area.
