About Dad's

Dad's is a fun and cute spot with a great atmosphere, perfect for hanging out. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable, offering a broad selection of drinks, mixers, and fruits, including unexpectedly better cocktails like the French 75 and aperol spritz. There are two full bars, one inside and the other outside, with an expansive indoor and outdoor space. The food features delicious, elevated childhood favorites like the meatloaf sandwich, bologna sandwich, and White Castle burgers, along with amazing fries. The French toast is also a favorite, and guests should ask for popcorn with their drink. Vegetarian options are limited but customizable. Crowds are common on weekends due to its popularity, with a youthful environment, loud music, and even louder conversations, though the fun stays lively rather than overwhelming. Parking isn't impossible thanks to neighborhood streets, but using Uber, walking, or taking transit is recommended. Friendly bouncers and bustling surroundings make it a favorite neighborhood bar with good vibes. The retro home decor and nostalgic movies projected on the wall add to the charm, creating a lively setting for friends to enjoy. Staff members like Katie, Carson, Peter, and David handle difficult situations with care, and the service is incredible, truly the epitome of good service in Atlanta. Overall, Dad's remains a popular spot for those seeking well-made cocktails, plenty of beer on tap, tasty food, and a welcoming environment.
