Creature Comforts Downtown Taproom and Brewery

We took a short 10-minute walk from our hotel and headed in. When we arrived, we were informed we could place our order at either the inside or outside bar. We decided to go inside and check it out. This spot really feels like the beer mecca of Athens, Georgia, UGA shirts everywhere and we could tell we were in a college town. We looked over the full menu, ordered our beers, and decided to check out the outdoor patio area. It was game day and packed out there. We couldn't really find a good seat so we went back in where there was plenty of seating. Inside, there were big screens everywhere, especially one massive screen in the main area, perfect for watching the game. There were two bars and plenty of space if you wanted another beer. Everything was super clean and well-maintained, with staff constantly scanning the room and clearing empty glasses and trash quickly. There’s not too much to say about this place. Overall, it’s easy to see why this place is considered the mecca of UGA football and the Athens’ beer community.

We were asked for our credit card at the “host” desk as soon as we walked in. Commercial big business vibe. Plenty of seating. For a brewery, their other drink options exceeded their beer options. A lot of hazy IPA options, no wheat or stout option today.

Good brewery! I’ve visited a couple times and it never disappoints. Creature Comforts is one of the Georgia big four along with Terrapin, Sweetwater, and Monday Night. I never order anything I can find in stores. Good location, friendly staff, and a solid mojo. Creature Comforts and Normaltown are the spots to visit when in Athens.
