Augusta, GA is the second-largest city in Georgia, home to over half of a million people and serving as the second-largest metropolitan area. Although smaller than Atlanta, Augusta has its own claim to fame and is widely-known for the Masters Golf Tournament. Augusta also has a thriving nightlife, with plenty of bars and clubs for after-dark entertaining or a night on the town.
Whether you prefer Country & Western , sports bars, karaoke at a neighborhood bar , or something out of the ordinary, Augusta has something to offer everyone when it comes to clubs and night life activities.
It’s hard to choose among so many favorites, so for now I’ll stick with listing the top three, as chosen from my own personal experience and an informal street poll taken at the start of a night on the town. I spoke with other life-long residents of Augusta, bar aficionados and visitors, and it’s no accident that we all agreed on the top three standouts among nightclubs in Augusta. These three offer fabulous entertainment for adults of all ages, and are true standouts.
In no particular order, the top three spots in Augusta for an adult night on the town are:
