Now seems like an appropriate time to review this place since I saw the entertaing Slippery When Wet, Bon Jovi Tribute band there a two weekends ago. Also the Tavern is having special bartenders from MTV's the Real World this month including Ace and Adam from the Real World Paris. Check the schedule out on their website.

Pros: many of the same attributes as the Buckhead Saloon. Basically it's reminiscent of most college bars. Some type of cover band is on, frequently ones who play Athens, Auburn, Tuscaloosa a lot, and their are usually a good amount of hot girls. Also it's part of what I like to call the East Buckhead area, so you can easily go to Moondogs, Loco's, or Hole in the Wall.

Cons: Depending on your age, the crowd tends to be right around 21 years of age and the bathroom line is a bit long. There's never really a reason for a guy's waitng line to be more than 4 people long in any bar. Also there is typically a cover on the weekend.

Food: none to speak of

Cheapest beer: not exactly sure but the tub girl has $3 domestic bottles and was exceptionally hot the last time I went.

General thoughts: Since I'm starting to turn on the Saloon since the good band hasn't played their in awhile this may be a new occasional place to hang out. Basically I would go there on a Friday or Saturday night if you recognize the cover band playing their that night. In addition to Slippery When Wet, I would check out the following bands if they are ever on the schedule Rollin in the Hay, the Wayne Mills Band, and the Velcro Pygmies.
