Things to do in Athens, Georgia (GA): The Best Shopping

September 6, 2021 Roseanne Arnett

In the sweltering Georgia heat, no place is as cool as Athens. This hip college town is home to the University of Georgia, Pulitzer Prize winning authors and famous rock musicians. Explore the downtown area, where Victorian buildings are filled with an eclectic combination of independent coffee shops, restaurants and boutiques. Named "Live Music Central," Athens' busy music venues are known around the world. Check out The 40 Watt Club, where The B-52s and R.E.M got their start.

Wuxtry Records

Reviewed By Schussboom

This place should be on the national register of historic places. Have been in Wuxtry records many times over the past year and it’s always a pleasant experience. All kinds of new and used vinyl and CDs, even posters. They also offer fair prices on albums you want to sell. They even sell a limited selection of stereo gear and have an assortment of used, vintage stuff next door that they’ll show you on request. They have a sweet Audio Technica turntable and Edifer speaker special we took advantage of that is affordable and an excellent value. The Edifers are great and have enough lower end to fill out a full sound for a small to medium sized room. Helpful, quirky, interesting, resourceful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Wuxtry has been around a long time and it’s perfected the art of being exactly what it should be - an extraordinary experience.

Lyndon House Arts Center

Reviewed By KatCanDo

We recently had our son and future daughter in law's rehearsal /dinner here. We met with Shannon 8 mos. before and toured the entire facility. We ended up reserving the community room for our dinner. It couldn't have been more perfect! We could hang lighting (they provided a tall ladder) and they have a computer & very large screen perfect for having a video. There's a commercial kitchen for caterers. The wedding party and guests were able to tour the house and galleries before dinner. We all agreed it was the perfect place for the rehearsal and dinner. Shannon was so helpful. We highly recommend!

Housed in an 1890 Cotton Seed Oil Refinery, Stan Mullins creates sculptures and paintings of Epic proportions, as well as intimate detail. His works span the globe and the studio harkens to a renaissance ambiance. Museum like in its scope, yet a working studio. Appointment Only!

Margo Sterling Silver

Reviewed By emmamF1703JY

This Metaphysical Supply Shop is full of high vibrational products and beings! I can't speak highly enough about it. I lived in this town for three years and was never able to come close to finding a shop, of any kind, that I loved more. I would highly recommend this shop for anyone who loves jewelry, stones, incense, colorful products... the whole shebang!
