Where else can you go which encompasses Carl Winslow, Tony Danza, and Michael Bolton....this place. Usually a good place to end the night with a good crowd and a good two step.

Our night started out slow and somewhat boring. Bar hopping, grabbing a beer here and there but then.....
8e's was on the menu!!
Wonderfully energetic bar with fun people and GREAT bartenders.
Please note that I went there out of school season so the crowd might be different when in-season.
8e's is the only place we found that night that has a bar where you can smoke by it. It has 2 bars. One inside and the other is outside under a covered area with seating etc.
This is where we stayed most of the night - party because we could smoke but also because of the bartender! She was AWESOME! Smiling, funny and personable!
Needless to say we stayed there the rest of this night. -

Rediscover your 80's spunk at this brand new, funky bar! Cup after cup of 50 cent beer, you will be serenaded by stars like Cindy Lauper and Michael Jackson, until you can't tell whether it's still them or you singing in the end.
The decor might not be all that remindful of the 80's, but the pure excitement you will feel while visiting this place will definitely take you back to that glittering decade.Listed in: Athens, Georgia, on My Mind...

I definitely remember working on some symbolic logic while downing said cup after cup of 50 cent beer. Delicious AND educational.
Not everything I'd expect out of an 80's themed bar, but then again it's just not always my kind of crowd. -

A bar that plays my favorite decade of music, ALL NIGHT LONG?!
I was so excited when a bunch of my friends came to visit me in my senior year at UGA and we discovered this place.. I just wish it wasn't so insanely crowded!!
We had a great time dancing in whatever little space we could find, and the music was wonderful. However, after getting pushed and shoved and dealing with drunk guys who seemed to be getting rather aggressive, we headed out a bit early, so minus one star for that.
But it's definitely worth checking out if you're visiting!Listed in: ATH for N00bs

If you like to dance or sing to 80's music this is definitely the place to be. I had a Redbull and Vodka which is my favorite drink. It was moderately priced and was mixed very well. Also, the drink was about twice the quantity I normally get at these bars.

My favorite bar in Athens! Here is where the party would end for the night amongst my friends and I after a night of debauchery. During the week its great for super cheap beer-I'm talking dollar pitchers-and a relaxing atmosphere as the place is dead mid-week. A great added bonus is the interactive game and puzzle console they have in there that really is fun when you are drunk. I admit on the weekend when it is busy it is kinda annoying to elbow through crazed dancing people, but I love 80's music so much and when the whole bar chimes in with "Just a small town girl..." to the beginning of Don't Stop Believin', I'm at home.

As a recent grad of UGA I'm constantly coming back to visit the downtown scene. My only complaint about 8E's is that it wasn't around when I was living in Athens. I heart this place! They play 80's music all night and posters from your favorite movies and albums line the walls. It's a great place to come with your girl friends for some embarassing dancing. Things get pretty crowded later in the night so get there fast for a prime spot at the bar and on the dance floor.

Looking for an overly crowded bar? You've found it at 8E's. College students pack every possible inch of standing space in this bar on the weekends. The only time I went here we had to elbow our way to the bar for our drinks. Dancing to 80's music is great don't get me wrong but dancing literally on top of people I don't know is not my idea of a good time.

This place is awesome when you have that 80s music blaring with some friends.
