About Hendershot's

This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as bar, live music venue, restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Because this group is broad, judging a listing on freshness, turnover and how consistent recent reviews are tends to work better than judging by decor or price range alone. Most kitchens in Athens will adjust a dish for common dietary needs like gluten-free or vegetarian if you ask when ordering. Hours vary widely: diners and fast-food chains often stay open late or around the clock, while bakeries and cafes tend to open early and close mid-afternoon. Catering and food delivery businesses in Georgia usually require advance notice, from a day for a small order up to a week or more for a large event, so it is worth contacting them early.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. Typical hours are 7:30 am–11 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible.

Athens is in Georgia, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. Traffic in Athens peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Truly eclectic vibe. Just like the college town coffee house you’ve been looking for and hoping for. Just amazing. Forget the big chains. This is where you want to go. Prob one of the best iced oat milk lattes I’ve ever had. Service was so friendly, speedy, and hip. Clean and plenty of seating. Conveniently located. Noise level was not overpowering - you can easily have a conservation or concentrate to finish a paper here. Don’t miss this gem.

This is an absolute must! It is really difficult to determine whether the food or the service is more impressive... We were deliciously served by HK, who was there with our every need, communicated what oysters were out (and in -heavy representation from good old Mass (MA)! HK also gleefully swapped out the one item (of five), that we didn't particularly care for with the crab cakes, which were absolutely over the top! We devoured the oysters, clam strips, scallop fried rice, shrimp and grits and just felt the muscles were missing a bit of base salt. I would try anything on this menu. The venue was easy to park and get to the performing Arts Center in plenty of time, for curtain. Absolutely one of my favorite places and I couldn't recommend them more highly. Wine selection was quite good and we tried the 'orange wine' which was well worth it if you like eclectic things.

Truly phenomenal coffee, but also an entirely unique venue! I’ve never seen anyone successfully pull off the bar AND coffeehouse in one place, and I love that they have green and red lights to sit under, compostable stirrers, and in-house roasted beans (which were smooth and so rich in flavor)! I wish this was closer to me in Boston!!! If you ever decide to branch out, all our silly alcohol rules aside, come north!!!

Hendershot’s is the best! It’s my favorite place to perform, and my fave place to see shows/comedy. The sound system is great, the staff is always heroically sweet, and the owners are national treasures. Great coffee and fun seasonal cocktails!

We came to Athens and Hendershots to hear some love music. We were the in the afternoon. There is a nice university vibe in the area. Drinks were reasonable and service was friendly and efficient. I didn’t realize they served food. The venue for live music is excellent with a combination of tables and a nice couch area to listen to the artists. Definitely deserves a night visit next time we are in Athens.
