42 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!!!“

“Great service and food near GT.“

“The drinks are the bomb!!“

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

“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!“

“I visited SM44 ATL for Mother’s Day and overall I’d give the food about a 3.5/5 stars. The experience wasn’t bad, but a few things felt like they were missing something special.

I had the oysters topped with crawfish, and honestly that combination didn’t really work for me. My sea bass was good, although I think it would’ve been even better if it wasn’t served as such a fillet that was randomly placed on the plate. I substituted one of my sides for Brussels sprouts — the flavor was okay, but they definitely could’ve been crispier.

The lobster mac & cheese was good too, but I expected it to be a little creamier. The fettuccine was flavorful and they were very generous with the Parmesan cheese. Someone at the table ordered the crispy chicken over grits, but I didn’t personally taste it.

My martini was decent, but if you’re going to garnish drinks with fruit, it should be fresh. The fruit on top looked soggy and was falling apart.

Presentation overall was nice, although the mac & cheese presentation felt a little too casual for what seems to be aiming for an upscale/elegant dining experience. The atmosphere itself was interesting — more like a bar with dinner tables than a true fine dining vibe.

Overall, not terrible, but for the price and aesthetic, I expected a little more refinement in both flavor and presentation.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Just great vibes and customer service!“

“first time at this restaurant. Great staff, food and drinks.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“The bar is great--good service, neighborhood feel. If you get a table, you order from the bartender & someone will bring the food out. If you need silverware or condiments, etc, either quickly catch the person who drops it off or hunt it down yourself. The wings are ok. Onion rings are heavily battered-- go with the tater tots. Fish & chips are amazing.“

“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!!!“

“I work late at night, so I’m always looking for somewhere new that’s open late. THIS IS THE ONE!!! Great atmosphere, great customer service, $5 drink specials, and the wings were absolutely delicious!!! I love breaded party wings. They were just right with the right amount of crisp and flavor. I’ll be back with no hesitation. Prices are very reasonable, can’t wait to try different things on the menu.“

“I had such a great time at whisky mistress my bartender was Andria she was so sweet &attentive ,she moves with a sense of urgency ! It was my birthday and she made it so nice .my husband and I loved her Drinks & service !

Ask for Andria if you decide to visit!“

“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.“

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

“Best wings i ever had definitely recommend“

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

“Awesome food great drinks.. great service“

“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“
