A statue of Jack Daniels greets customers at General Beauregard's, the bar that replaced Mean Mikes on East Clayton Street.

I wonder how long before the pc police start the demonstrations.

Sweet. Only in Athens could the design of a bar be a big deal.

FWIW, The Red and Black is the worst newspaper of any kind I've ever read. I would love to see some UGA grad buy that paper and then shut it down.

I want to go there! Sounds like a terrific bar, and with some originality.

College students whining about a bar? Strange, indeed.

"I believe in Georgia, especially, there's not too much that separates races other than the rebel flag ... "In other words, nothing but "refuse to NOT be a victim" posturing. Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it!
(And that's "Jack Daniel," possessive is "Jack Daniel's.")

"I'm definitely surprised by (the theme)," said Melvin Hines, a black sophomore from Albany. "I thought that after all this time things would have changed. People don't see it actually offends other people." Hines also said a bar like General Beauregard's does more to separate the University, and in the long run, the state as a whole.He probably said this in the confines of the Black Student Union while planning the separate black graduation ceremony for this year.

...and even has a signature drink: Dixieland Tea, which is Kentucky bourbon and sweet tea in a mason jar.An unforgivable mortal sin is defined as adulterating Kentucky bourbon like this - and I'm not sure if there are degrees of unfogivable mortal sins, but if there were, making something as nasty sounding and unpalatable as this while adulterating the bourbon would be at the top.
I'm also disturbed by the image of Jack Daniels, and have a fear that this joint is selling that Tennessee dog piss while pretending it is bourbon.

I concur. That combination would make a billy goat puke.

"He probably said this in the confines of the Black Student Union while planning the separate black graduation ceremony for this year." There is absolutely no doubt concerning the accuracy of your remark.

Kinda true. I went to grad school at UGA. I've always regretted I didn't get a picture of a road sign on campus (or didn't take the sign. It only lasted a couple of days.) The sign said "Daed End".

"I'm definitely surprised by (the theme)," said Melvin Hines, a black sophomore from Albany. "I thought that after all this time things would have changed. People don't see it actually offends other people." OK, Odds that Melvin is gay and supports fleecing the people of Georgia for courses in how to be gay, gay studies, and gay subculture, and wanders around kissing his "boyfriend" in public.
Earth to Melvin: The bar is enclosed. Everything that goes on there is behind closed doors. If you are offended, don't go inside. End of transmission.
Shalom.

I wouldn't do it to Woodford Reserve or anything, but Bourbon and iced tea do go together well. Of course, I'm a Yankee so I don't use the sickly-sweet "Sweet tea" found in the south.
