  • Downtown Athens in Athens, Georgia is considered by some to be the area bounded on the north by Prince Avenue, Dougherty Street and North Avenue; on the South by Broad Street and the University of Georgia campus; on the West by Milledge Avenue; and on the East by Foundry Street. The commercial and governmental heart of the city has traditionally been toward the eastern end of Downtown Athens, between Lumpkin and Thomas Streets. Recent developments, particularly between Lumpkin and Pulaski Streets, have expanded the boundaries of the "central" part of the neighborhood. The term "Downtown Athens" can also mean this smaller, more commercial area, particularly when used in the context of the city's nightlife and restaurants. There are a total of 96 bars in Athens, Ga making it the town with the most bars per square mile. West of Pulaski Street is a much more residential area, characterized by historic homes, new infill construction, and some public housing. This part of Downtown Athens has the highest concentration of hotels, particulartly along Broad Street, and the Prince Avenue commercial corridor is an important center of business, particularly for those living in the Boulevard and Normaltown neighborhoods.
