This was my first visit to this tavern and it was nothing short of amazing! We came here specifically for Atlanta burger week and their burger did not disappoint! The cheese was so melty! I got a side of tots and my husband got the potato rounds. Both were great but I preferred the tots! This place seems to have some great specials throughout the week. We also loved the vibe of the tavern!

Absolute perfection!! My girlfriend and I came here after a date night at Fernbank Museum and Thinking Man Tavern was the perfect spot to end the night. PLEASE - do not get rid of your vegan/vegetarian options, they were absolutely delicious and my girlfriend is the pickiest of eaters and absolutely cleaned her plate. The atmosphere was amazing, the service was prompt and friendly, the vibes: immaculate.

Summary: Amazing food, amazing service, amazing vibes, don't change a thing.

Sincerely, deeply satisfied customers.

Even though it was very busy, I was able to get a drink without waiting to long. The bartenders are good here

The food was overcooked. The drink selection was not terrible. I did enjoy the staff and atmosphere. Wouldn’t recommend going on Friday night unless you want karaoke.

Surprised it took me this long to finally visit. The place has eclectic vibes, hip and divey at the same time. Service was great, though there weren't a ton of people there for a Saturday evening. There's a nice cocktail list and I liked the one I tried, but I was most impressed by the beer list. Lots of great craft beers from Georgia, across the US, and a few from abroad. Then there are a ton of drink options beyond beer.
The food menu is also pretty neat. I had some wings and a burger and they were both good, not quite great. But the potato rounds as a side are something special, and there are lots of other interesting things I'd like to try soon. Overall definitely recommend this place.

Beautiful bar with lots of variety for liquor and beer. Family friendly during day. Very much good chill neighborhood vibes. Where else can you get a *very good* $8 old fashioned at 11pm on a Sunday??

Food was okay, nothing special. I went with Bar tenders recommendation of the burger melt that came with sautéed onions on it and was good and it came with tater tots. There was a nice choice of draft beers. Being from out of state I tried to different local sour beers.

Parking: Plenty of parking in lot and the street on left side of building is a dead end with only a couple of closed stores. I parked there.
