The venue is Great. The City of Athens is Great. We attended an event at the Texan. Had some Great Catfish and listen to some Great music by an Artist named Scott Whitaker. I recommend anyone who's gets a chance to attend an event at the Texan in Athens do it. You will enjoy every second of it.

A wonderful venue. Went to see strange breed Ministries.
Love the inside of the building the duel stairs just one of a kind would be a beautiful place to have a wedding or a wedding reception.

This restored local landmark is absolutely gorgeous and a wonderful addition to our community. From trade shows to music venues, they all work well in this space. They community rates are reasonable as well!

But I was thrilled to know that they reopened it for multi-purpose events. I first came during the soft opening during the Fiddlers' Reunion weekend & saw a live concert happening. I also came for the "Art On The Bricks" event.

It's neat that they can move the stage, since for the soft opening the stage was on the right brick wall (with the audience portable fold-out chairs situated so
