The 40 Watt Club IS Athens, GA. This small venue is a real piece of Athens music history. I have personally seen hundreds of shows here and ALWAYS had the best time. It is a standing room with bar. The room can get crowded, however, the energy is mind blowing. I just visited Athens, again, April 13 to see All Them Witches and Ranch Ghost...it was the best three hours of my life. This so called "local tour guide"...Michael Green, "review" below sounds like a real piece of venomous, hating drek. Only a dick would say something so obtuse about The 40 Watt.

this venue is horrible. we queued in line all day, to get front row for the show later that night, and then 10 minutes until doors they said to split the lines and people would go in, in alphabetical order, and when i asked if they would let us in, in the order we got to venue in they basically laughed in my face. the staff knew we were all in line to get front row and decided last minute to tell us they werent going to respect our first come first serve system. unprofessional and rude staff. 0/10 would recommend.

Great concert venue. I really enjoyed seeing Smallpools here. While the space is actually somewhat large, it feels like a much smaller and more intimate concert environment. Staff is great. I will definitely be seeing more shows here.

This nightclub a known nationwide for its performing artists. Many high profile performers make their way through here before they hit it big. Nice little atmosphere on the west side of downtown Athens.

Went here for the first time on the night of a Boneshakers Reunion.... Boy did the memories of me coming to 40 Watt to watch bands during my teen years come rushing back!

Took advantage of teenaged boys extra fees at door even though tickets were paid in advance sending them out to find $4 in the street risky

The staff is ridiculous and the place is a mess. Only visit here if someone you know is performing.

The music scene is part of what makes Athens great, and the 40 Watt is at the heart of it . . .

Service is alright. Standing room can get crowded and frustrating with the low stage view
