Excellent selection of craft beer, get a flight and try 3 or 4! We loved them all! So many to choose from, i highly recommend the sour ale Everything He Touches, has a fabulous cider like finish. Food is upscale bar food, with a few more elegant selections. The starters were all great, the poutine was excellent, burgers, grilled asparagus, fish and chips were tasty, cooked to perfection and good portion size. They have a small but varied selection of foods, nice choice of salads - something for everyone. The staff was exceptional. I don't recall the last time we've eaten at a place that had such friendly, attentive staff. This will definitely be our go to eatery from now on!
We started out with a buffalo chicken flat bread app and a flight of beer at the waitress' suggestion. The app and beer came out super fast and was a way larger portion than I expected. Let me just emphasize how drinkable and smooth this beer was! Most local breweries have beer that's too metallic and is harsh up front. You don't get any of that with any of their brews. My favorite was the hunker down ale but I certainly liked the other 3 that I tried. The flavors and aromas are still complex even though the beer is as smooth as a domestic (probably smoother). Our burgers we're cooked to our specifications and were spectacular as well. The prices are competitive and portions abundant. I'm looking forward to being able to bring a 6 pack home one day!

Not a beer drinker, but still loved the place and I enjoyed a Macallan 12. Food is good, I had the risotto with grilled chicken and a caprese flatbread that was delicious. Great gathering point in the west side of Athens.
Great addition to the west side of Athens! Fun place to watch a game, eat delicious food from a varied menu, enjoy different beer and even a glass of wine. This will definitely be a place I regularly visit!
Great food and great beer. Food that sticks with you, had a burger at 1230 and am forcing myself to eat dinner at 730. I would highly recommend.
Coming from London, I was a little skeptical looking at the beer menu when I got there. However, after sampling, the beers are true to their description and are of a high pedigree. The service was great and the food was good. Will be going back. P.S I recommend the ESB as a solid, balanced drink as an introductory choice if new to the establishment. My personal favorites were the Belgium beers.
Great food and craft beer... I highly recommend this place...

Oh my goodness!!! The food choices were so amazing that you almost forget that technically you're in a brewery! The atmosphere was festive but not so loud you couldn't have a normal conversation with your friends. The decor was so pretty! The staff were friendly and very welcoming. Oh! And the beer was very tasty as well! �
This was my 2nd visit. I'm not a beer snob. I usually drink Miller Lite. Their beer is very good and a very large variety.
1st time eating. Wings were fantastic. I only had 1 flavor. 5 more to try. 5 or 6 flatbreads. 1 we had was great.
I highly recommend that you go.
Wow!!!! We went as a family and the staff,food, and brew was awesome!!! Had Michaela as a waitress and could not ask for more!! Food was out of this world, I had the bacon avocado burger. The BEST Burger I have had in Athens. Again service was out of this world and Made my kids feel as welcome as I was!!
Great place. Friendly staff. Great beer. Yummy food. Go. Enjoy. Now.....!
Good food, excellent beer variety, a great place to have a few beers and laughs with friends!
This was my first time visiting Akademia. The service was wonderful! Atmosphere was amazing! And I loved that they had a full menu. I ordered a Black & Blue chicken sandwhich that was very tasty. And last but not least the beer was so good!!! I had one of their Gose's & a Amber sour, both tasty! I will definitely visit Akademia again in the future!
Just had lunch. Sampled 8 different beers (shared sample tray (4 each) with sister) Excellent brews!!! The food (Turkey burger & fries), special sauces and desert (cream brule) is amazing. Highly recommend and look forward to going back!! Zoe described each brew choice perfectly and made it easier to choose which brews to sample and her service skills are superb!! Thanks Zoe!
The food was delicious, beer selection amazing and the service was excellent! It’s a very cool space too!
Great brews, great food, wonderful service, nice atmosphere! Though I think that sums it up I will provide some details.
Came in on a Tuesday lunch. We were seated immediately. Everything was clean and shiny! Our waitress Madison was excellent and attentive. Super friendly but gave us space!
Lots of beer choices and they do offer the option to taste the different varieties. I also saw someone trying a flight of beers. A great idea.
The food was hot and excellent. They were out of fish and chips, but the burgers were wonderful.
It's a nice venue, with ample seating indoors and an outdoor patio.
The bar is huge and looks shiny and high-tech. As does the brewery!
Bathrooms were clean.
This is a hidden gem and is a great place to share with visitors that want a high quality unique experience.
There is plenty of parking.
This place is kind of hidden. The landmark for your turn is the old gray bus with their logo on it. And there's plenty of parking.
Highly recommend it for casual drinks, an interesting conversational date night, or a good meal. Ask for Madison!
2 months late in writing this post. I came here back in November 2021 on a Monday lunch. It wasn't busy. We sat outside since it was a beautiful day out. The only downside is that service lacked in the beginning of our dining. It took our server over 10 minutes just to greet us. However she did give us complimentary fries as an appetizer. Overall our server was great and the food was amazing and drinks were great.
Despite the slow service, we had a pleasant dining experience. Would definitely come back again!
This was my first time visiting the area, and before leaving, I wanted to try one last local favorite. I’m glad my host/date suggested Akademia for brunch!
Although there was a wait, we were quickly able to find a few seats at the outdoor bar. The weather was absolutely beautiful which made our seating choice even better. We were even able to see many of the cars included in the car show that was being held in the parking lot!
We both ordered the Tripleta Home Fries. For our beverage choices, he added the IQ and I had the Imperial O-Negative. Neither of us were disappointed. Our food and drinks arrived in a timely manner, and our server was very kind and attentive. I will definitely return here and recommend this location to everyone. Thank you!
Definitely my favorite brewery anywhere in the Athens area and one of my favorites in the state! The craft beer here continues to get better every time I try a new one from them. This is a brewery, but they also have a full bar and great food menu! Awesome place.
Very nice brewery-restaurant with a dining area with a view of the brewing tanks. There are lots of bigger tables indoors (6-seater), and lots of outdoor seating, including an outdoor bar area. There are a couple of TVs over both bars for sports. They offer 15-20 of their brews on tap (not just what you can find in stores) and their beers are really quite good; they also offer flights and small pours. I loved both burgers we ordered, and the brussel sprouts are a great side.
Passing through the area from out of town, I was looking for a bite to eat. Stumbled upon this place and to be honest, I didn’t expect much. I thought I could at least get an ok beer and some bar food. This place is a 10/10. The food is amazing, the staff is happy and eager to make all the customers feel at home and everyone is super attentive. Nate and Caroline are professional and friendly bartenders. I had such a completely good time here. The vibe is so cool because every customer is happy. Very well done to the family that runs this brewery. Please check them out! Attached a photo of the amazing food the kitchen puts out! Come here!!!
The server was kind. It was super cold in the restaurant. Other than that no complaints we ordered the hummus and watched the super bowl on the big screen. Awesome environment.
We really enjoyed our dinner at Akedemia tonight! I got the pretzel bun hot dog that is served with the Ale Cheese Dip and Honey Mustard (both of which were delicious) and added a few veggies to the Dawg for extra flavor. I’m DEFINITELY coming back and getting it again! The outdoor patio was so chill and lovely to enjoy too. Great atmosphere.
