Flight Tapas and Bar

Athens, GA 30601

Katy and I wanted to visit my brother and sister-in-law in Athens for something new.  April recommended Flight because she knew one of our favorite ways to dine was with an abundance of tapas and scores of wine.  This bar allows diners to enjoy "flights" of wine, which are your choice of three generous samples to compliment your tapas preferences.

To accompany our bold flights of red wine, we selected the edamame, tempura fried rock shrimp, steak tartare, and the spring rolls among others.  Never having tried steak tartare, I curiously ordered it and was pleasantly surprised by the immense flavors...although, the spring rolls trumped the various contenders.

The exposed brick walls were a rustic background to the local art that hung for sale, which was as pleasing to the eyes as the food was to the palate.  Located next to what remains of the original Georgia Theater, Flight brings metropolitan character to this small college town.
