This upscale Chinese cuisine restaurant is sure to please guests with its hospitable atmosphere and wonderfully authentic dishes. The idea was born in the backyard of Shae and Ryan Sims, who decided over a home-made bowl of General Tso's Chicken that they wanted to return home to Athens and open a neighborhood restaurant; and they did just that. Stop in for a quick bowl, or stay awhile and grab a drink.

HISTORY:
The Georgia Theater is part of the Downtown Athens National Register Historic District and also the Downtown Local Historic District, which was designated in 2006. It was built as the Elite Theater in 1935 on the "foundation" of the original YMCA which had been constructed on that site in 1889. The upper part of that YMCA building was demolished in 1920 and it then served over the years as the Majestic Hotel, Masonic Temple, Dorsey Furniture Company, and Burnstein Brothers Furniture Company until the Elite Theater was built.
The rooftop restaurant at Georgia Theatre offers amazing views of Athens with open railings facing both South towards campus and East towards downtown.
