Best college town in every state

Best college towns in America: Athens, Georgia (Home of University of Georgia)

Athens has a ton for the generic college football fan, even though everyone talks about the hedges, the rest of the experience is great. There are dozens of bars and music venues to indulge your senses. It really gives every tourist something to look forward to. If you want a great place to have a variety of cocktails, then Trapeze Pub is your best bet. If you want three floors with different drinks on each, including a bloody mary bar, try Allgood Lounge. There’s even the Wonderbar, where you can play Rock Em Sock Em Robots with your beer.

However, Athens is so much more than the bar scene. The 40 Watt Club is one of the best indie music venues in the country. People say it helped launch the punk rock scene across the country. Now, it showcases local bands and some tribute bands with some familiar sounds. This is a must for all music fans.

Athens has everything else that some of the other college towns have. They have hiking trails, museums to explore, and great places to eat. However, it is and always will be the music that makes Athens a great place. There are dozens of places to listen to live bands outside the 40 Watt Club. The Georgia Theater is also historic and considered one of the best places to watch a show of many kinds. Come to Athens a football fan but leave a music lover.
