Ryan's Tavern

The newest addition to the Old Auburn collection is the late-great Ryan's Tavern — the Opelika Road legend eatery and "drinkery" too. Locals and students packed the place on Wednesday's for all you can eat wings, washed down by plenty of cold beer of course. Regulars there will remember Lima Bean, who greeted everyone at the door, along with Amber and Preston waiting on tables...and of course, the dearly-departed J.T., who ran the joint.
