Disclaimer:  I have no affiliation or financial interest in the restaurant or with the owners or anyone working there.  Back to Top ytownbobcat General User Member Since: 8/7/2006 Post Count: 1,253 Status: Offline     RE: Another game day dining option (NT)    Posted: 8/6/2013 12:35:35 PM  Back to Top OhioStunter General User Member Since: 2/18/2005 Location: Chicago Post Count: 2,516 Status: Offline     RE: Another game day dining option    Posted: 8/6/2013 12:41:45 PM  Thanks for the update/review. Neat that you were able to stumble upon this place on opening night. I've stumbled out of that location at closing time way too many times...

Glad to hear the place was renovated but hope they can keep some of that old school charm for us alums. Like, do they play Van Morrison' songs on a loop? are there tables full of freshman girls with 1 upperclassman guy sharing a pitcher of some sort of fruity beverage? does it smell faintly of bleach, barf and sweat? Is there a place for me to stand pressed against other strangers while "It Takes 2" by Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock is played at a high volume? At the very least they should have a vegetarian section of their menu called the Greenery. MY STATE. MY TEAM.

For those of us that are interested in the entire Athens and gameday experience, I find this to be a plenty worthwhile topic. Thanks for mentioning, Alan!

This kind of stuff clogs up the site and is not interesting to those who want team and player topics. My apologies if I offended your sensibilities.  To many of us, a sport involves more than just what goes on on the field or court from the first whistle till the final gun.  The whole game day experience is a big part of it.  Just look at all of the posts about bowl game experiences and NCAA game experiences in Nashville, St. Louis, Providence, etc.  Tips on places to eat, places to stay, driving directions and constructions problems are all part of that.  For those of us who live here in Athens and see this stuff every day, we could just take it for granted and make our 5 minute drive to the game and park in our usual spot.  What we try to do is share relevant information with those fans who have to make an effort to support the Bobcats by driving many miles and hours to the various games.  I'm sorry if you feel that that sort of informtion "clogs" up the site.

If I want a good game day experience i know how to find it. If I need a good restaurant in Athens there are probably 50 search sites to find them. If your friends restaurant is any good then he will have good reviews. How many people would say to themselves " I am in Athens and I want a good restaurant, maybe I should check Bobcat Attack under the football board?" I have been lucky to have great game day experiences in, Athens, Foxboro, Los Cruses, Denton, Memphis, etc, etc. without referring to Bobcat Attack" By the way I live 4 hours away from Athens and see 8-10 games a year in person. So stop the homeboy stuff and let's stick to our amazing football team and details on their progress.

P.S.  And YTown, your logic that one can find plenty of sources on the Internet about dining in Athens also applies to Ohio football, you need only go to OhioBobcats.com, WOUB.org, the Athens News, etc. to find info on Ohio football.  If someone wants to post pertinent info of any kind about Athens or good old Ohio, I say go right ahead!!
