41 Best Bar & Grill in Atlanta

“Our small gathering on the 6th of December was heavenly. This young lady was sweating and smiling so I had to photo her. The overall experience was great with Service and the Atmosphere was breath taking. The food was exceptional except the desserts were a little dis tasteful, but, I had eaten so much it could be my palate. This is one of the most pleasant experiences that I have been a part of in 2025. Please keep up the momentum. Happy Holidays.“

“My friend girl brought me to this restaurant for my birthday. I had the turkey ribs, collards, yams and Mac and cheese and the bread pudding, we even tried the fried green tomato,she had the turkey wings. OH ! My gosh the food was sooo, ( never heard of nor had a turkey ribs) it was so tender and the sauce was point on. I don't mind paying a good piece if the service and food is great. When I left this restaurant I took a picture and posted on Facebook, telling everybody I know about this fabulous time at this place and they got to try it out. The service, and my waiter was a 10 .plus“

“Staff was excellent, good was fantastic, music was loud enough to be heard but not so loud as to drown out conversation, lots of fantastic decorations. We went there for dinner last night and returned for lunch today. Food absolutely worth the price!!!“

“Stopped in for a quick afternoon beer and had a great time. Emma at the bar was amazing — super welcoming and let us try a few drafts before we decided. Their beer selection is strong, with plenty of interesting options to choose from. The outdoor patio is perfect too, really open, sunny, and just a comfortable place to kick back and enjoy a drink. The whole vibe is relaxed but fun, and it’s one of those spots that makes you want to stay longer than planned. Drinks were cold, service was friendly, and the energy was just right. Definitely a go-to if you’re in the area and looking for a good beer and a chill patio experience.“

“The drinks are the bomb!!“

“I’ve been to the Vortex quite a few times, but tonight they really knocked it out of the park. Sky gave incredible service! Burgers? Out of this world. Mothercluckin chicken rolls? A must try. The funnel cake fries? Can’t leave without them. All around, the Vortex and Sky left us smiling from ear to ear! Thank you guys for an awesome night! See you soon!“

“Good food, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, cold beer, good wine… We will be back !“

“The best steaks in South Atlanta. Casual environment. Top notch service.“

“It is a nice place for a date night, to hang out with your friends, or to simply have a beer by yourself. Great atmosphere!“

“Huge fan! Great place to hang with friends and meet new people!“

“I stop in here for lunch once a week. The staff remembers me, the food is great and it comes out quick. I like the grilled chicken sandwich.

They have several TVs so I am able catch up on news and sports while I am there.

Also ample free parking.“

“Racquel was amazing. She was friendly, efficient and professional. Her suggestions we on point! The ahi tuna salad was delicious and so was the shrimp tacos. Not to mention my cocktail. To receive this kind of service in an airport was very impressive. Keep up the good work. We will be passing by again on our next flight out of atl.“

“$13 for this meal is pretty darn good. The older Black man has superb service you can tell he has mastered the craft. I definitely wanna bring friends with me one day :)
FYI - they charge $1 for ranch or extra sauces, i didn’t know until AFTER the bill lol.“

“Just great vibes and customer service!“

“The Hemingway Daiquiri and the Old Fashioned were superb cocktails. Atmosphere was upscale relaxation with leather club chairs and beautiful woodwork around the bar.“

“Candice was an AMAZING server!! She was attentive, efficient, and friendly. I really appreciate her warm hospitality…good customer service is lacking lately, but it was so refreshing to have Candice as my server today.“

“In from out of town but treated like a local from the start. Alex was amazing from the beginning. He was the first one to great us and through out the night was super friendly and attentive. If I was local, this would 100% be my local hang. Will visit again when in town.“

“ATL!! This is THE SPOT. What a great place. The atmosphere is electric, a dope DJ on the weekends and GAMES; darts, ping pong, skee ball and more. Chicken fingers that melt in your mouth and the adult drinks get the job done! If you're going anywhere else you're wasting your weekend. Go check it out!“

“Bucket Shop is THE place to be in Atlanta for Auburn football and basketball games - if you can't be in Auburn. The food is fantastic! Menu is full of delicious items to more than satisfy your bar-food hankerin's. Terrific Spirits, Beer & Wine. Servers and GM are friendly & attentive. It's more than a restaurant - it's family!“

“Salmon was great, fresh, tasty!! Terrific bar tenders!! Ask for Charles, he is amazing!!!“

“SM44Atl delivers an unforgettable dining experience from the very first bite. The steak was exceptionally tender—beautifully seasoned, perfectly cooked, and full of rich, savory flavor that practically melted on the palate. The macaroni and cheese was the ideal comfort dish: creamy, decadent, and baked to perfection with a blend of cheeses that made every bite irresistible. Even the broccolini impressed, cooked to a crisp-tender finish with just the right amount of seasoning.

The oysters were fresh, bright, and impeccably prepared, while the wagyu meatballs were remarkably rich and buttery, each bite offering a depth of flavor that only high-quality wagyu can deliver. And the fried lobster? A show-stopper—light, crispy, and tender inside, with seasoning that elevated the natural sweetness of the lobster without overpowering it.

Beyond the food, the service was top-tier. Attentive without being intrusive, the staff made the entire experience seamless and welcoming. The atmosphere tied everything together perfectly: stylish, warm, and upscale without losing its comfort. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply treating yourself, SM44Atl sets the standard for excellence.

Highly recommended—this is a spot you’ll want to return to again and again.“

“Let me give a shout out to my girl Tracy!!! We are in from out of town and I myself is in the service industry. Absolutely great service, yummy food, and amazing atmosphere. Please make sure if you can drop by and check it out!!!“

“I had a fantastic night for my first time visiting Johnny’s Hideaway!! I’m disappointed to see some of the more negative reviews, I can’t say I experienced anything unpleasant, but I can’t deny it may happen to others. I’d still recommend Johnny’s for a fun night out dancing to some classics and watching people have a great time; the drinks were nice and strong, the set was bumpin, and the disco ball was shining! The women’s bathroom stalls are a little on the small side but they were fairly clean even later in the night. We don’t get food, but I’ll definitely be back to try some.“

“Great meetup place for food and drinks!“

“This place was an amazing vibe. The design is very artistic. The food is great. Those jerk turkey burgers were great. The wings, fries and fish is good also. The Margaritas we sooo good. The owners Will and Johnathan we very personable along with the waitresses. This is my new spot!!!!!“

“Food, staff, drinks... all 20 out of 10.“

“i had wings before from here and they were ok however tonight i ordered and had it delivered 2 orders of red beans and rice with catfish and not only was the cat fish undercooked but it was old and spoiled. It reeked i could never eat here again. Tje chef had to know that fish was no good.“

“Team Trivia Wednesdays at 7:30!!!“

“my family and i came friday night and sat in the restaurant around 9:20pm, which was pretty close to the closing time (10pm). luckily, our server was very attentive and friendly! she got us seated right away and was helpful.

the food came out around 9:45pm, but we were able to still eat peacefully and not be rushed. we got the spinach artichoke dip as an appetizer; i think it was made with cream cheese and the pita chips were warm!

the salmon was well cooked and flavorful! the broccoli had a somewhat strong garlic taste, but it was still delicious! the mac and cheese was also good, the breadcrumbs gave it a nice touch! my family also enjoyed their dishes!

overall, everything went will and the food tasted good ??️

Parking: parking on site through the hotel“

“We just got beers while at the airport in Atlanta - other than being philthy expensive they were cold and served with a smile. It took longer to pay the bill than drink the beer - but we had a 4 hour layover that turned into a 6 hour layover - so no biggie.“

“Best wings i ever had definitely recommend“

“Muy rica la comida con buen sazón y todos son muy amables . Mi lugar favorito“

“Im not from Atlanta but when im in the city Whisky Mistress was my favorite stopping point until last time I went. Music great, drinks great, people everywhere but too many tables. You can even dance because they sold too many tables. The dance floor is like a hallway now. If they remove the tables from the dance floor it would be the hottest spot for the older crowd in the city. Help bring the party back. #nomoretables“

“Awesome food great drinks.. great service“

“pues la rrica comida ke venden y la música que el di de pone“

“Next level show by the queens. Aspen, Aqua and the rest of the cast were hilarious, talented and just outstanding all around performers. The queens here work the room, one of the best shows I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to a lot of drag shows. Bartenders and music were on point. Love this venue. 10/10“

“Me and my fiance was looking for somewhere to go before a game at the Mercedes Benz Stadium.. we were looking for good food, good music, and hookah!! This place brought all the vibes!!! We were here for a few hours watching the game and waiting on friends. Everyone was friendly and helpful. My waitress was in training.. she goes by Rican…. She did great.“

“Cree was the highlight of our visit to Cirque Atlanta. She was doing it all—serving, hosting, running food and drinks—and still delivered exceptional service with a great attitude. She was attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about our experience.

That said, the restaurant was out of a lot of food we originally wanted to order, which was disappointing. Definitely not Cree’s fault, but something to note. The food we did get was just okay—nothing special—but the drinks were amazing and made up for it.

Cree’s top-tier service stood out the most. She kept everything flowing smoothly and made us feel well taken care of despite the setbacks. She’s a real asset to the Cirque team“
