Eclipse Company Store

Eclipse Company Store is a beloved spot on the outskirts of Athens, Ohio, tucked away in The Plains. Guests can choose indoor seating or the stage‑front patio that overlooks the small outdoor stage where live bands perform nightly. The menu is entirely made from scratch, featuring standout dishes such as the crispy Mac and Cheese Eggrolls, the hearty Cats and Dogs Sampler, and the smoky “Smoke on the Water” craft beer. Brunch runs Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., offering eggs benedict, fresh‑made pancakes, and seasonal fruit bowls. Weekdays (Monday‑Thursday) the kitchen stays open until 10 p.m., while Friday and Saturday extend service to 11 p.m., giving night‑owls plenty of time to enjoy late‑night bites. The interior blends reclaimed wood tables with vintage lighting, creating a relaxed yet lively atmosphere that feels both rustic and modern. Private parties, weddings, and corporate events are welcomed in the upstairs rental space, which can be catered by the in‑house team; the staff handles everything from menu planning to setup, though the venue is not handicap‑accessible. Live music is a cornerstone, with weekly events ranging from local folk groups to rock covers, and the venue also books bands for private functions. Prices are moderate, with most entrees between $12 and $18, and a selection of local Ohio beers on tap. Whether you’re a local looking for a weekend hangout or a traveler passing through central Ohio, Eclipse Company Store promises good food, cold beer, and a vibrant community vibe.
