29 Best Pubs in Atlanta

“Nice atmosphere!! Great neighborhood pub!“

“Leo was amazing! This place has a superb selection of beer and snacks. If you’re at Little Five Points it’s a crime not to stop by for a few drinks. The bartenders are very friendly and knowledgeable. And the beer is very tasty and satisfying.“

“This is the best gem in EAV. Their food is absolutely *phenomenal* — gastropub meets fine dining…. But at gastropub prices! Great drink selection (including actually good wines, not the same stuff you’ll get for $12 a bottle at Kroger), super friendly atmosphere. It’s definitely a keeper!“

“We did not have a reservation but we were accommodated!! The famous pork chop, limited menu item but worth planning for. Cute place, atmospheric and English, tiny and quaint“

“This is the third year I've hosted a client appreciation brunch at Bantam, and as always, it was amazing. Tori, Tim and their team once again produced a flawless event - the food was excellent, the service was warm and attentive and the planning couldn't have been simpler with their prompt and thoughtful assistance. Thank you so much Bantam for providing us with such a wonderful gathering! Looking forward to our next occasion!“

“Great atmosphere to have a good time“

“The food was good not exceptional. The wings were enjoyable my salad tasted like the dressing was watered down. The service was ok. I was upset because the 20% tip was added in without my knowledge and not pointed out until I plan to tip separately. Tips are not mandatory and i was caught off guard with the amount and especially with it being included without presenting me with the bill. I will not do business their again.“

“This hidden gem has excellent food for a reasonable price…and a great staff!“

“This place is awesome, there’s a secret/speakeasy type comedy show on Tuesday nights that’s hilarious. Luke the dude who runs it is the man and they switch to short sets after the main show. If you haven’t seen this hidden gem you have to go!“

“Great pub, great food, great bartenders, great music, and just a cool place overall...despite the auburn memorabilia. 😆“

“On a Saturday night, being possessed of a thirst and a certain leisure after a Jordan Klepper show, I inquired for an establishment most proudly Irish in its constitution. Indeed, Fado is one of the most Irish public houses I have encountered in Atlanta. The place wears its heritage most openly, and with such authenticity that I half expected a fiddler to spring forth from the rafters and demand I sing along.

My intention was to secure a seat upon the patio; alas, every corner of it was already overrun by a cheerful horde of college students, each behaving as though stout were the fountain of eternal youth. Thus deprived, I consoled myself with their array of Guinness inspired potations, which I found both abundant and most welcome. One could scarcely lift a glass without the faint suspicion that the brewery itself was watching with approval.

I resolved that I should return on some future occasion when a soccer match is in progress, for the atmosphere, I suspect, will then be nothing short of riotous. With foresight, I inquired into the vexing matter of parking, and was relieved to learn that the house does indeed validate for the garage behind Yeppa. A gentleman likes to know he may part with his coin over ale, not asphalt.

All in all, it is a spot most conducive to merriment, if one does not mind the occasional roar of youth reminding one that his own college days are now but fondly misremembered footnotes.“

“my friend and I had the best time and split the crab cakes and salmon BLT and the drinks were perfect too. everything was amazing and we've decided to make it our pregaming spot before masquerade shows! Jamar is hands down the coolest dude that we were so lucky to be able to chat with while there and will definitely be asking for him again! thanks for making our experience top notch!“

“After walking into another restaurant & being completely ignored even though that restaurant wasn't busy in the least, we on a whim decided to try here. And bc of the game in town, they were super busy but even with that, we were greeted warmly by our waitress Shay (sp?) within moments. The food was top notch and we were also checked on by another staff member just in case. I highly recommend this place. We got the chicken sliders and the wedge fries plus I got a whiskey cocktail. Everything was fantastic. Will definitely revisit!“

“Very chill neighborhood pub. Come in, sit back, and just enjoy yourself.“

“OK, I gotta tell you everything was perfect. Crispy fresh catfish on creamy delicious grits. The omelettes were crazy, seafood, omelette, oxtail omelette, deviled eggs. It was the perfect meal. The music was jumping. The place has a vibe of happiness and if you not with being happy, this is not the place for you. I stopped to compliment who I thought was the manager and it was the owner. Slinging plates, busing tables, seating people. What a humble brother. I wish you every success. Oh, and our server was just lovely.“

“Enjoyed watching the Braves and food and drink!“

“Churchills is closed and replaced by Bar South Buckhead. Several TVs with sports playing, a pool table, and a small outdoor patio. They play mostly country music and have live bands on Wednesdays and pool tournaments on Fridays. 23 and up and 21 and up Thursdays which are college nights“

“I am not one to usually write reviews, but this had to be done: If you're in Atlanta and looking for a standout pub, Gibney's Pub is a must-visit. The food is fantastic, delivering both flavor and satisfaction with every bite. The vibe is an inviting, genuine “hometown pub” feel, that’s welcome in the area of expensive dining. Their food is enjoyable, tasty and great quality, and be sure to ask for a to-go box - their portions are large! What really sets Gibney's apart is its exceptional staff. Megan (I apologize if I’m remembering incorrectly), brings a level of kindness, care, and infectious energy that makes you feel like part of the family. Her pride in working for a local business shines through in every interaction, making her service truly memorable. Both servers we had over two visits were lovely human beings, choosing to truly connect with us as patrons, genuinely. Great food, beautifully kind staff, high quality and honest pricing, Gibney’s is a great place for locals and even greater to those traveling. Having that “hometown bar” to get some comfort food in the midst of a weeklong conference is priceless. We loved it so much that we returned twice in one week—if we’re ever back in ATL, this is where we’ll be headed.“

“Sunday Funday !! Cornhole last week winners Team RTR !!!“

“Great place to get cold drinks. Always has every game on to watch! 5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dog friendly and great staff!!“

“Really good wings! We got the peri peri and the buffalo and they were both a great flavor. Peri peri are spicy watch out! This var has events and specials almost every day, karaoke on Saturdays which is pretty rare for atlanta. Great chill environment and lots of seating. We get to go a lot too.“

“Great vibes good selection of foods and drinks!!!!“

“my friend and I had the best time and split the crab cakes and salmon BLT and the drinks were perfect too. everything was amazing and we've decided to make it our pregaming spot before masquerade shows! Jamar is hands down the coolest dude that we were so lucky to be able to chat with while there and will definitely be asking for him again! thanks for making our experience top notch!“

“Excellent food and gathering place“

“New friends in the shadow of the old cotton mill. Pets welcome! And nightly food treats along with drinks(!) and Kevin the bartender.“

“The atmosphere at The Brew House is incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. The bartenders are knowledgeable and attentive, and the regulars are always up for a chat. The drinks are creative and delicious, and the prices are super reasonable. But what really sets this place apart is the vibe. It's the perfect spot to grab a drink with friends or meet new people. I've been back several times and I always feel like I'm coming home. If you're looking for a friendly spot to support your Soccer team in Atlanta, look no further!

You have to join when an Argentinian soccer team is playing and ask for Empanadas.. You will never forget that feeling..“

“As you can imagine, I was in the mood for trying a new restaurant and stumbled across Manny’s via my Yelp Search. Manny sits in a neighborhood so there is street parking as well as they offer a few parking spaces in the back of the restaurant. When you walk up, you are pulled in by the intimacy of the “neighborhood bar” feel you can see through the all glass front. The location is huge and offers a main and sun main entrance door. Entering through the main entrance, you get to experience a full snapshot of the vibe. With tables in the front and the bar towards the back right, you are instantly caught up in the energy that radiates from the patrons. We decided to sit in the small area near the sub main entrance as it offered a more eat and unwind tone. As you seat yourself, it was a few minutes before the waitress arrived at our table. Once she arrived she greeted the table and welcomed us to Manny’s. She immediately took our drink orders and advised she would return shortly. As we awaited her return, I looked around the room to see if there were any menus and there were not. When the waitress arrived with our drinks she inquired if we were ready to order… Me: “Can you provide us with the menu as we may take a look?” Waitress: “It’s a QR Code!” Me: “Can we get the QR Code?” Upon me asking for the QR code she realized we didn’t have one in our table. She proceeded to one of the back tables and returned with the QR Code. I decided on the Candy Andy burger with a Side Caesar Salad. My meal was an absolute delight. The lettuce was fresh. The Caesar dressing was very tasty and super creamy. I wouldn’t be surprised if I found out it was homemade as it was truly a flavor-rific experience. LoL!! The Burger was soooooooo good. With a “Smash Burger” base, the Candy Andy is a perfect play of Sweet and Salty. The well seasoned, perfectly done, super moist burger pairs perfectly with the caramelized onions that sit on top of it and becomes engaged to the candied bacon that tops the burger. Oh my goodness! I don’t know what foodie ninja came up with this killer mix of burger joy, however, they did an amazing job. This burger is an absolute 10 out of 10 for me and is so good that I will be back to indulge in one again soon. If you find yourself in the area and desire a neighborhood gem with a nice vibe and great food, make sure to stop by Manny’s and enjoy the experience. P. S. If you see me in there, blame it on the burger. LoL!!“

“Highest recommendations to our server Paola. She handled our large pre-wedding party like a pro. Great service, lots of fun. The best.“

“Great food. Great service. Bourbon salmon with mashed potatoes and vegetable medley was great.“
