Smiling Skull Saloon is one of the popular bars in Athens, Ohio. It is unique not only because it is a biker-bar, but also because it opens every single day in a year. It means when other bars close at Christmas, it opens as always. It has already been there, 108 W. Union St., for about 21 years. It opens at 10 am, the earliest one in Athens. It has a uniquely amazing atmosphere for the locals and college students. It has appeared in several cycle magazines as a must see when visiting southeast Ohio.
