The pizza is great! Shoe string fries were served they were good. Those are not my favorite style of fry but they were good.
The pizza tasted like brick oven pizza.
The staff was super friendly and attentive.
The place is as described. Elbow room..lol. It is a tight fitting place. But some good seatingnoptions. They played old school like early to mid 90s rap while we were there. Had a great time. Would definitely revisit.
Again the pizza was great!

Food is good, but unfortunately due to consistent very poor service, we are disappointed as frequent customers that we will need to find a new regular spot. Would not recommend.

The space itself is a vibe. Walking in, it genuinely felt like New York; great energy, great atmosphere, and a concept that immediately pulls you in. As someone visiting Atlanta for the first time, this was exactly the kind of spot I was excited to experience.
That said, the service seriously missed the mark.
We waited close to an hour for calzones. That’s not an exaggeration and for context, I’ve never waited more than 15–20 minutes for something like this anywhere. There was little to no communication, no updates, and no acknowledgment of the delay, which made the wait feel even longer.
I want this place to win because the potential is absolutely there. But service and execution matter just as much as ambiance. A quick check-in, transparency about wait times, or even a small gesture would have gone a long way.
If management tightens up operations and prioritizes guest experience, this could easily be a standout spot. Until then, the vibe alone can’t carry it.

I love this place. I'm here at least twice a week. It's like Cheers in Buckhead. I want eat the entire menu but I can't get past the wings and pizza. I have to order some to eat there and some to go.

Elbow Room is a great spot to relax with a good drink and tasty food. The atmosphere is comfortable, the service is friendly, and everything came out fresh. The Irish Mule was made really well and ended up being one of the highlights. The “small” onion rings were surprisingly giant and absolutely on point. The potato skins, on the other hand, were just okay — not bad, but nothing special. Overall, it’s a solid place for a casual meal and well-made drinks.

I really like the feel of this bar. It feels like a great local bar where everyone knows each other and the vibe is real chill.
Let's start with the bad. The parking lot has only 9 spaces and one path to enter/exit the premise. There is some street parking but you have to pay for that.
The place looks huge. Plenty of seating and TVs at the bar. There is an upstairs and outside patio.
I ordered the Stromboli which was huge and cheesy. I also grabbed a beer and cocktail which were good. I like this place.

LEGIT ALERT FROM A NEW YORKER (buffalo).. this place has real New York tasting pizza ! I was soooo surprised! It was so good and I think they had like a 2 for 5$ slice deal the last time I was there. Karen is a nice bartender and she is really good at remembering peoples drinks and the last conversation you had with her lol! Shout out to you Karen. There's a new bartender named Hannah and her margarita was soooo good, I didn't even need the extra limes like I always ask for. Anywho, the elbow room is friendly to all .. very welcoming. ummm parking does suck, but that doesn't stop me :) Thanks Elbow room for helping me find a place in this new city after 2 years!!! to become a regular at. I'll be back soon :) Cheers, to good cocktails, great food, & excellent hospitality.

Such a great, clean bar with amazing food! The pizza dough and sauce are homemade, and I’d definitely recommend it.
