What are my favorite Augusta bars? Where are my favorite places to grab a cold beverage here in town? I've thought about it and come up with this list. Now these are just bars. These aren't bars and restaurants. Because if we're talking restaurants too, then this list would be pretty dang long.

I love a good neighborhood bar vibe. A place thats not too big, however I don't want a place thats super small either. Its important to be able to at least move around in the place. Another thing that helps a place make the list is live music. There are a few of those places on this list.

Atmosphere is really important to me, so these bars will have a really cool atmosphere. I also like a place where I can have a good experience. And I can tell you, I've had great experiences at all of these places, hence why they made my favorite bars list.

These are places that I've been going for years, and I can highly recommend them. In fact, these are the places I recommend most. So if you're looking for bars with neighborhood vibes, great atmosphere, live music and good drinks, then these will probably be some of your favorite spots too.

Here's the list of my favorite Augusta bars. These are in no particular order.

The Indian Queen

I've been going to Indian Queen since they opened. Its such a cool vibe there. I've had so many awesome times there over the years. In fact Indian Queen is where I met my wife.

Stillwater Tap Room

This is one of my favorite bars in Downtown Augusta. Its a great place to try a great variety of beer and cocktails. I've heard some great live music there over the years. Its one of my favorite places to chill and enjoy a drink.

Metro Pub

Another one of my favorite Downtown Augusta spots is Metro. If we grab dinner somewhere downtown, then odds are we're probably going to get a drink at Metro. You can even grab a great coffee there as well.

Hyatt House Rooftop Bar

So I know that this a hotel, but its got an awesome rooftop bar. One of the best rooftop bars in the area. I love the view from Hyatt House. Its a great place to be really at any time of the year.
