Athens has a very lively night life made famous by local bands including R.E.M., the B-52's, Widespread Panic, Pylon, and many more. The best source for information on who is playing where is in Athens' alternative newspaper, the Flagpole.

The Flagpole also has a useful Guide to Athens with information about restaurants, bars, shopping, art, and much more.
