Meet the #ChopsCrew Today we’re shining the spotlight on Julia, our beverage director! Julia has been with Chops for five years, and she’s a big fan of creating drinks people love ... especially if there is #tequila involved. When she gets to order off the menu, these days Jules is really into our #HometownHero burger, but that mac ‘n’ cheese is hard to say no too! Julia says that she didn’t fall in love with the Athens area immediately upon moving here. It was the re...lationships she built with Oconee County, Georgia customers and community members that sealed the deal and made her feel most welcome! Interested in pursuing a career like Julia’s? Here’s what she has to say about working the bar side of #FoodAndBeverage: There is always room for growth. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been bartending. Stay passionate about learning new techniques and new tips about alcohol. I feel with bartending there is no ceiling; you really can only keep getting better over time and your drinks will show that. Nothing feels better than creating your own #cocktail and people telling you it’s just what they were looking for after a rough day. Drop some for Julia in the comments!! We are so grateful for her and all she does to make #ChopsAndHops an amazing restaurant! #ChopsWatkinsville #WatkinsvilleGa #DowntownWatkinsville #DrinkLocal #EatLocal #Restaurant #Foodie #Steakhouse #ModernSteakhouse #Steak #Seafood #ChickenWings #Burger #Sandwich #Beer #CraftBeer #Wine #Whiskey #Spirits #HandcraftedCocktails #SupportSmallBusiness

Chef Arielle is ready to razzle-dazzle your tastebuds for #WingNight tonight! The #FeatureFlavor is Raspberry-Jalapeno BBQ, and it’s a suh-weeet treat! Very jammy with warm heat.

If your #FallVibes don’t include at least one plate of our famous Local Honey & Bleu Cheese #Meatloaf, then we have a problem.

Served with mashed potatoes and honey-roasted carrots. A special... thanks to our friends precise_cattle for this incredible 21-day wet-aged #beef that goes into the dish!! #ChopsAndHops #ChopsWatkinsville #WatkinsvilleGa #DowntownWatkinsville #DrinkLocal #EatLocal #Restaurant #Foodie #Steakhouse #ModernSteakhouse #Steak #Seafood #ChickenWings #Burger #Sandwich #Beer #CraftBeer #Wine #Whiskey #Spirits #HandcraftedCocktails #SupportSmallBusiness

WhistlePig Whiskey 12- and 15-year ryes have landed for a limited time at #ChopsWatkinsville! We know most of y’all just got off work on this fine Wednesday evening, so why don’t you just slide on down to South Main Street and pull you up a chair?
