Bre’s Bar (The Depot Sports Bar & Grill)
4122 Emory St NW Covington, GA (0.8 miles from the square)
This is a real sports bar. I have not been inside and I’m not sure if anything was filmed inside. I do know they used the outside and also used back behind the building for when Lexi’s boyfriend tries to kill Damon. If you go here definitely walk back to see it and you should recognize it!
Prison World Grocery Store (Bell’s Discount Grocery)
11377 Brown Bridge Rd Covington, GA (3.8 miles from the square)
This is a real grocery store and you can go inside and shop. I do believe they filmed inside here, but I can’t say for sure. The Mary-go-round was purchased at an estate sale by Filmed in the South and I believe they are doing something fun with that soon! If you aren’t familiar with Filmed int eh South, they do tours for The Originals in Conyers, GA. They have a store in Conyers as well.
Whitemore College (Oxford College)
801 Emory St Oxford, GA (1.9 miles from the square)
This is a real college. The only scene that was filmed here is when Elena and Caroline first move in with Sherriff Forbes. The other “college campus” scenes were filmed at Academy Springs Park (where the Delena rain kiss was filmed).
Wickery Bridge
5098 Klondike Rd Lithonia, GA (19 miles from the square)
If you visit this location please be very very careful! Vehicles go very fast down this road. Also be alert of your surroundings. There is a little pull off to park where you can walk down to the water where Stefan and Elena stood to get a picture, but just be cautious of other cars/people already parked there. I recommend not getting out if there are people parked backed into the woods. This may make more sense if you go there.
Football Field (Athens Technical College)
212 Bryant Rd Monroe, GA (21 miles from the square)
This is where they filmed cheer practice, Stefan and Damon throwing the football, and where Elena “falls” off the bleachers to see if Stefan will catch her. They torn down the Timberwolves signs but the bleachers are still there. Parking space 22 is also still there from Bonnie’s visions. I have not been to this location yet but hopefully soon!
Keep checking back because I will continue to add as I find more and visit more! Comment below if you have been to any of these!
