Athenian Bar & Grill (CLOSED)

Athenian Bar & Grill is, in some ways, the opposite of most downtown restaurants. It’s large, inexpensive, never crowded, and you can be in and out in 20 minutes. Their cafeteria-style lunch is perfect if you’re looking for something quick and filling—and we do mean filling. Portions are massive, and you'll be able to get at least two lunches out of your lamb gyro, chicken salad or pot roast plate. Dinner is traditional table service; if you get there between 4 and 7pm on weekdays, make sure to take advantage of Athenian's outrageously cheap happy hour—$3 beers, $4 glasses of wine and $5-$6 cocktails.
