28 Best Sports Bars in Atlanta

“Had such an enjoyable time with Bianca. She was incredibly hospitable and made me feel right at home—like I was sitting at my own kitchen table.“

“First impressions are everything and we want to thank Breana (our server) for an amazing experience. She truly took care of us from start to finish. She was very knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. She even helped us celebrate our upcoming wedding day and we truly appreciate her for this amazing experience.
Food and atmosphere was amazing.“

“Great neighborhood hangout with good food and drinks.“

“After 5 canceled flights, I finally gave up and retired myself for the night and came to Dave's Bar and Grill. The food was excellent, the prices are decent, and my server Neesie took excellent care of me. I never waited long to order or for a refill. A great experience overall. On my next layover I will definitely find myself here again.“

“We came to Atlanta for a competition and decided to pop in and try some local restaurants Tin Lizzy Cantina. OMG the best guac fresh chips salsa and the steak Philly tacos the bomb. Not sure why their rating is lower but I know you can’t please everyone. I give them 10/10 OGG was our waitress so friendly, the down home atmosphere if you come to Atlanta and don’t come eat here. Everything was great. Thanks OGG for the great service we will definitely be back.“

“Went to HobNob for the 1st time and so glad I went. It’s a hidden gem that you may miss because it’s located in the cut. The atmosphere was laid back and friendly. Dalyn was our waitress and was so pleasant, attentive and went out of her way to make our experience great. The food was also delicious! It’s been so hard finding good food in the area and as a New Yorker I’m very food picky. But shout out to the chef because I finally found a place that has a variety in their menu with food that actually tastes great! I shared shrimp tacos as an appetizer and had the grilled chicken Alfredo while my husband had the chicken and waffles. He loved it. I tried some of his and the cinnamon butter was absolutely delicious. The manager Derrick was so nice. He let us know about the trivia they have on Tuesdays and invited us to check it out. It sounds fun so we will definitely be there on a Tuesday! For now though, our next visit will be a dinner with family after our son’s christening. We contacted Jason the event planner who was excited to help and was extremely informative and professional. He had great energy and was looking forward to helping us secure their private room for our family dinner after the christening ceremony. We’re so excited we found this place and decided to fave our family come and taste the food after our christening event in 2 weeks. We can’t wait!“

“Wonderful service food & drinks It’s a must you stop by 42 bar & grill ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“It was a great place to watch a big college football game. Lots of TVs to see the game in every direction (and keep an eye on other games of interest). Food was good and service was good. Bar was crowded, so they could have used another server to work all the tables, but she did a pretty good job of getting back around to our table for refill orders.“

“We visited the Nest to catch some Sunday football and really enjoyed our experience. The rooftop and view is a vibe. Sipsy and Stephany were our servers and were super attentive! They gave us great recommendations and made sure we were good. Will def be back!“

“SHAY did an amazing job serving dozens of guests at the bar- despite the fact that she had no help. She and the 2 table servers deserve a raise. Management/ owner needs to wake up and hire more help though, and pitch in themselves. The bathrooms need attention as well. The food was good but took a while to come out because of not sufficient staffing.“

“Mariah was the best and gave the best service possible“

“Great food and customer service!! Macy, our server and Regina went above and beyond to make our experience exceptional!! Enjoyed our time with them!“

“I had the pleasure of visiting Steel City Grill and was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional cuisine and extensive selection of spirits. The owners and staff demonstrated exemplary customer service. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience Steel City Grill and groove to an excellent selection of music - You won’t be disappointed!“

“Outstanding Customer Service I was literally greeted by all staff, manager checked, even when it got busy I didn't feel forgotten by far the best experience in Atlanta. Was entertained with the dancer and the game was on so my husband was happy! I came in on a Sunday around 4:30. Small bites, finger food great portion sizes and tasty. Let's talk about the ambiance Halloween themed drinks and decor was a vibe. Drinks 10/10. DJ with the hits door was open so there was a little breeze coming in which I loved.“

“Thank you Sports and Social for hosting us before the Braves game. This place is always packed for games so get there early! (like 3 hours) I like sitting at the bar and too avoid the wait, that's where we headed. The main bar under the TV's was agreat spot to watch sports. It works and is NOT like the front row of a movie theater. Our Bartender was Taylor, a pretty young lady. She made our drinks and asked if we wanted food. The drinks were tasty and made quickly. I tried the 'Baos' my friend ordered and they were delicious as well. We were there until game time, then it was a quick walk (about 50ft) across the door into the stadium. Taylor took care of us the whole time and checked on us consistently. Previously, I've had bad service there, so I don't come very often. Due to this experience I will return sooner. Please give Taylor some kudos! Great job“

“nothing short of awesome...food ..and service“

“Absolutely love this spot. The atmosphere was cool and laidback, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care.
The highlight of our visit was Nina, hands down the best waitress. She was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever being overbearing. Her positive energy truly elevated the entire experience.

We’ll definitely be back — and hoping to sit in Nina’s section again!“

“First time and wow is all I can say. The service, drinks, and food was amazing. The vibe was great. I felt like I was around my family. Welcomed soon as we entered, and even the customers were saying hello. You have a customer for life. Keep up the great job.“

“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!“

“11/10 Would recommend. The staff was amazing and friendly! Great pricing, great food. I was here for work, and I didn’t even bother going anywhere else. I will definitely come back when in the Atlanta/Buckhead area!“

“Great experience every time for my birthday…“

“We had a great time before headed to Beyoncé concert last night!! Will definitely come back when we’re in town.“

“The smash burger was amazing! The drinks , the bartender, and the atmosphere were spot on. I would highly recommend! An ATL favorite for sure!“

“Honestly, this is one of the most underrated bars in atlanta. The only thing bad about this place is the parking but they validate for the deck across the street. The owner Doug is awesome. China (sp?) behind the bar is responsive and makes amazing drinks. The staff is awesome. The food is awesome. Even if you have to park across the street in the deck and then walk down, this place is totally worth it. Been coming here since it opened for lunch, dinner, or just a drink. Guinness on draft as well.“

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

“Came in for a quick bite ended up staying longer than I intended. Food was great as usual but what made me stay longer than I intended was the amazing service. Erin was my server tonight and I really enjoyed her energy and hospitality. She was attentive and quick as well. I really felt like she cared about my experience. She was kind and respectful and didn’t miss anything I asked for. Wish I had this kind of service at every restaurant I go to! Thanks again Erin!“

“Terrible Service. I went last night 03/01/25 for the first time and I will not be returning. I even ask the DJ three times if he can play a song for me and all three times he said yes , but he was too busy drinking with his friends on stage and never played the song.“

“I love this place. Great food, atmosphere and a great wine list. I am from Michigan and I keep coming back when I am in town.“
