Our favorite thing to do on Saturday's in town is going to the farmers market! Enjoy some some food and goods from the area with some of our favorite vendors.
The market runs from 9 AM - Noon rain or shine.
If you’re looking for the best place to eat in town, Jackio’s is a must-visit! It’s a local favorite, and some of Jeff’s (Cody’s dad) go-to beers are from here. While we’re not huge beer drinkers ourselves, it’s safe to say this is the spot for craft beer lovers in Athens and beyond — it’s a hit all over Ohio.
If you’re in town in September, you’ll also get a chance to try something really special: the Pawpaw beer! Made from the Pawpaw fruit, which is native to the Appalachian region, it has a unique flavor that tastes like a blend of mango and banana. It’s only available locally, so it’s a true Appalachian experience you won’t want to miss!
One of our favorite local hikes! This part of Ohio is full of amazing caves, we recommend anyone traveling with spare time to check out the local geography!
Our favorite bar! This is a great non college bar that we frequent with locally made cider and specialty cocktails.
A cute local, family owned vineyard with a great view of the area on their patio. This winery is a 15 minute drive from downtown with a large outdoor patio along with some indoor seating.
