There’s been a lot brewing—literally and figuratively—for Jackie O’s in Athens!
With the continued expansion of our patio and outdoor space at our Taproom, we’ve been able to host more events, welcome live music, and offer an ever-growing selection of beers and cocktails on draft.
We’re also excited to share that we have expanded our Taproom on-site merchandise and carryout area, and we’ve added something new and delicious to our culinary offerings: a wood-fired oven for pizza. These handcrafted pizzas are currently available Saturdays through Thursdays. The Bagel Street Deli food cart also continues to be a tasty food option Wednesdays through Saturdays.
At Jackie O’s, supporting local has always been a core value, and that commitment will soon be even more visible in our food program. We’re thrilled to welcome Scott Bradley to the team! Scott joined us in early July and will be leading culinary operations for our Athens locations. With a deep-rooted history in the local food scene, including time at Big Chimney and as the owner and operator of Zoe’s Fine Dining Restaurant, Scott brings a wealth of experience and a passion for locally inspired cuisine. With Scott at the helm, we are happy to get back to our roots by providing locally inspired dishes to Athens residents and the students and staff of Ohio University.
On the beverage front, we’re exploring some inspiring new directions. We’re rolling out smaller-batch brews in collaboration with local partners like Stuart’s Opera House, the Copperheads, and Pawpaw Festival, not to mention old fan favorites like Hop Ryot. We’re also experimenting with ciders, seltzers, and non-alcoholic beer. As we expand our beverage offerings, your feedback will be key in helping us shape the future of Jackie O’s as a versatile, community-focused beverage producer.
Stay tuned, stay local, and we’ll see you on one of the patios!
