Classics & Cocktails is back for a summer series! Join us on Friday, June 2nd at 7pm for the 1975 thriller, JAWS. Admission is $8. Drink prices vary.
When a young woman is killed by a shark while skinny-dipping near the New England tourist town of Amity Island, police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) wants to close the beaches, but mayor Larry Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) overrules him, fearing that the loss of tourist revenue will cripple the town. Ichthyologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and grizzled ship captain Quint (Robert Shaw) offer to help Brody capture the killer beast, and the trio engage in an epic battle of man vs. nature.
Along with the specialty cocktail, we will have a full menu of wine, local beer and local ciders.

UPDATE
Classics & Cocktails is moving up!
We are thrilled to announce that our summer series is moving to the rooftop of the Athens City Parking Garage.
The dates will stay the same but the show times will be later. We will begin seating at 8:00 and the movies will start about 9:00 when the sun is down.
We will be using DORA to continue to offer themed cocktails! You can pick up your DORA cup and cocktail curbside at the Athena on the way to the parking garage. We will also have runners so you can order drinks and concessions that will be delivered to you on the rooftop!
Please consider purchasing tickets to these events. It is a great way to show your support for the Athena during our temporary closure. It helps us keep our staff employed and bringing movies to Athens.
