In the South, college football is king, and the city of Atlanta is a melting pot of college football fans. Of course, Atlanta area teams – the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the University of Georgia Bulldogs – are local favorites, but where are you to watch the game if you’re an Auburn, Clemson or Alabama fan? What about if your alma mater is farther away, say Penn State or Michigan? Have no fear; Atlanta has plenty of college-specific bars to help you get through the big game, for the times when it’s not playing on your apartment TV. When you want to be surrounded by hundreds of similarly minded fans either celebrating or lamenting over the action on TV, you can find a bar that honors your college, right outside the door of Atlanta apartments.
