50 Best Bars near Dunwoody

“Much better dining options than Dunwoody’s previous Food Hall attempt. I sampled an item off of the menu from three different vendors—all were good, had generous portion sizes, and friendly service. The only thing that I’d like to see added to the Hall is a desert option. Is it possible to incorporate the likes of Pressed Waffle, a gourmet cookie shop, or for-yo? IJS, what about the icing on the cake?🤣🤣“

“Absolutely love this place!“

“We recently moved to the area and decided to give this place a try because it was pretty close to our house. The food was delicious and I was shocked at how incredible the service was. It was so good that I learned how to write a Google review just to leave this review.“

“Had a birthday party here and loved it! The bartender Jesse was fantastic!!! Great atmosphere and music. Highly recommend this“

“People were nice and food was terrific. Apparently the server has only been there two weeks and she's super sweet. The Commander (espresso martini) was pretty much perfect. The fish and chips were really good, and was not a ridiculously large portion like many places. The baked cookie is something I will dream about tonight I think. It is Wednesday so not crowded. But there was a table next to ours that had to YELL their conversation so loudly it was painful. We will absolutely be back. But I will bring earplugs just in case“

“This restaurant has been delicious and I love it because it’s having a great taste and I love the restaurant because it has 2 floors and has a staircase and an elevator so that I can sit down on the table and eat.“

“This review is directly addressed to “Sly Character” aka Dunwoody Karen.

This Karen, who was a drunk sitting at the bar, felt it necessary to go table to table and tell everyone she had kids and would never let them act this way and I agreed with her that in normal situations, no parent lets them “run” around the restaurant. However, as she pointed out, it was spirit night and there was 60+ kids there…not running around but walking to other tables eating food and socializing with their friends.

Thank you Mellow for allowing us to host spirit night at your restaurant. I hope it brought great revenue to you and tips for the hardworking servers.

Great food, great atmosphere, great time (except for drunk Karen)

***Karen, since I did not hide behind a fake profile name to hide my identity, feel free to reach out to me directly if you would like to discuss further. Giving a 1 star review and hurting a restaurants reputation shows your level of maturity and does not reflect the community of Dunwoody; the place you have called home for 18 years. I look forward to the opportunity to dine with you in the future, but in the meantime, might I suggest just picking up a 12 pack and eating at home so you don’t have mid range food and service.“

“The food was amazing. Our waiter, taylor, was also very insightful. The mussels were delicious. The owner was very nice and accommodating. The death by chocolate cake was so good and huge, we couldn't finish it . We had to take it to go.“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! The food and service are never anything less than top tier! Happy hour is solid and the vibes are just right. Ask for Dayvion! He is the BEST server and will make sure everything is perfect, just like him ✨“

“Amazing food and the manager Chay was awesome and helped us out and went above and beyond with a difficult process! Also very festively dressed! 100% recommend this place !“

“The Brass Tap: Game Day, Great Food, and Good Vibes
The Brass Tap offers a fantastic setting for watching a game while enjoying some seriously good pub fare.

We kicked off our feast with the excellent steak nachos, a hearty and flavorful starter, alongside fresh guacamole and a soft pretzel. The unexpected star was the side of Brussels sprouts with bacon and parmesan, cooked to irresistible crispness.

For the main courses, the bourbon chicken wings with fries delivered a smoky, sweet kick, and the indulgent fried macaroni and cheese balls were pure comfort.

The drinks were on point, too, with a bright and tasty margarita delight and a classic bourbon and beer combo.

Watching the college football game on the big screens on the patio provided the perfect backdrop—great sightlines, lively energy, and a comfortable outdoor space.

The Brass Tap successfully blends a top-tier beer and cocktail selection with a lively setting for catching a game. A definite win for a fun night out.“

“High end extremely nice restaurant. You pay for what you get!“

“The quality of the food is top notch. The facility has a cool vibe to it with the high ceilings, open kitchen, and large bar. Iirc, the wine racks are a throwback to the original FSE. Our waitress Nei (sp?) really knew the menu and made great recommendations on pairings of food. The seating area is rather open and can be noisy. The portions are appropriate for your meal, and there were no leftovers at our table. Prices are on par with other restaurants of this caliber. Plenty of free parking right behind the restaurant. We will be back. 💯“

“Gaming selection is great! Food and drinks are great. The service all around is amazing. My son has had his birthday party here for the last 3 years. He’s 18 now.“

“Amazing experience. One of my favorite restaurants in ATL“

“Party of 7 fit well with more than enough space in the large room. Well stocked bar and nice clean bathrooms.

While the karaoke books are convenient, they're not the most up to date with English songs. But plenty of options for Korean, Japanese, Chinese - I think I even saw Russian?

For more modern songs, the TV in our room could show YouTube, but be prepared to type a lot on the remote.

Overall a good middle cost karaoke place.“

“Super divey spot. If you don't like the smell of a dive bar and the dark atmosphere this might not be for you. The wings were AMAZING and they were priced extremely well. The bartender was super nice too. Definitely come thru and have some wings and beer sometime. You won't be disappointed.“

“The band After School Special was a really fun and very talented 90’s cover band. We were very impressed. The food was also excellent and we had brick oven pizza and bbq with yummy sides. Also loved the Bloody Mary! A great time and full bellies - what more can you ask for? Oh and just an aside what a lovely bathroom!“

“While in Atlanta visiting family, we took a walk on the around the Battery. Who can pass up Fat Tuesdays? Not us! We had to grab a drink to walk around with........... in the middle of June.

Not sure if it was the employee or someone else close by, but while ordering the drinks the entire bar smelled of marijuana! It was all consuming and VERY potent!

We ordered 3 drinks and quickly left the area! We had two children with us that shouldn't have ever been exposed to marijuana, one just a few weeks old!

Terrance D. the employee running the bar at the time was extremely helpful and very polite. I took his recommendations and got the 190 octane! My group also got the cat 5 hurricane & fruit punch. All of them were VERY good!!!!!!!!!!!

NEVER PASS UP A FAT TUESDAY!“

“This is a great place. I wonder how I missed it since the last 3 years. Great drinks and a great atmosphere. They allow outside food and our dogs also. Great vibe yet very peaceful. There is a lot of variety of alcoholic drinks, they are very fresh. Unfortunately for me only one non-alcoholic drink is available - root beer. But I loved this drink. A lot of games are available. Lovely dogs to play with. The owner lady is very lovely and friendly. I recommend this place 100%“

“I would highly recommend this place! The food is amazing, the staff is amazing and the environment is amazing! This place is absolutely perfect for company events, date night or just to hangout. I will definitely be back!“

“The sachetti (little purses) are to die for. The Marsala crème sauce is delicious“

“Roaring Social knows how to make an entrance and I’m not just talking about the secret door.

Our team of 20 visited for a midweek team building night out, and the moment we arrived, we were swept into the spirit of the Prohibition era. From the check-in process to the secret entrance (you’ll want to know where to look and what to say), this venue delivers on ambiance and theme.

Descending the stairs felt like stepping into another time. Rich wood tones, sultry lighting and a live band that brought the room to life. For a Tuesday night? The energy was electric and the space was packed! We enjoyed boutique bowling in a lively, luxe atmosphere and our server, Rider, kept our large party taken care of with warmth, attentiveness and charm.

Where the venue lost a star? The menu. While we literally ordered one of everything to share across our group, the food was more functional than flavorful. Limited options and a bit underwhelming in execution.

Still, if you’re looking for a unique, immersive experience with strong cocktails and stronger vibes, Roaring Social will deliver! It’s a memorable night out and a nostalgic journey worth taking.“

“A great place to stop in and have a drink the bartender was awesome he has a great smile and fixes you an awesome drink“

“We love Oak Street bottle shop. Sue and I wanted to have a 60th birthday party, so when thinking about what to do, Oak Street’s vibe works for me. Scott was amazing to work with - so accommodating. He knows how much I love IPAs and saved a keg for us - it was awesome. We had about 90 friends and family there - the staff Alex and Jeff were amazing. Incredible in set up, serving everyone so friendly (our guests were so impressed with them), and their attention to detail is off the charts. The bottle shop inside is bigger than it looks - can easily hold 90 if weather gets bad. We had significant chance for rain, Scott and team provided tents, we went to help set up, and Alex and Jeff made the place shine. We hired 40Hz band, Scott recommended. They were simply amazing. Sounded great, so nice, and seemed to enjoy as much as all of us. Scott and team - what a great venue and service. We appreciate you! Ken and Sue“

“I love going to Laseters every chance I get“

“It’s been a while since I have been to Black Bear Tavern. To my surprise, EVERYTHING is still amazing. Black Bear still provides a casual very laid-back type of environment. This was perfect as my friends and I had a long week and just wanted to partake in great laughs with great food… Upon walking in, the bartender welcomed us and advised us to sit where we would like. All of the empty tables were clean which made me very happy. LoL! Once seated, our waitress came over and greeted each of us with a warm smile and a pleasant welcome. With a traditional American Bar menu setup, we didn’t require too much time to figure out what we wanted. I decided on the Southwestern Egg Rolls as my App and the Swiss and Bacon Burger as my Main! Hear Me When I Say…. Wowsersssssssssssssss!! The Southwestern Egg Rolls are packed with meat and veggies. These are not the kind of egg rolls you find in your grocer's freezer. Along with being a great portion, they were fried to golden perfection. Being set at the perfect temperature makes for a super enjoyable experience. Warm and perfectly cooked insides surrounded by Golden Fried Goodness put me in a place of tastebud-pleasing bliss. I want some more just thinking about them. LoL! The Bacon and Swiss is HUGEEEEEEEEEE… Just like I needed it to be. There is nothing like a Moist, Meaty, Well Done Burger on a Friday. Furthermore, the fresh lettuce, tomato, and pickles allow for a perfect first bite. I decided to pair my burger with Tater Tots (well done) and they literally melted in my mouth. I’m talking golden fried potatoes, lightly salted, still hot as I dipped them in the room temperature ketchup! This is how you Friday Night in the Atl. LoL! Overall, I left full, pleased with the service, and to top it all off… I had food for the next day. Oh yes… I had leftovers!!! LoL!!!“

“Loved it and will be back again soon“

“For the most part I love this park! My only complaint is they seem to close for any reason they can as well as the fact that they do not allow personal drinks in the park but they are often out of the only few drinks I can drink being diabetic. Other than that, I love this place.“

“We went 9/21 for me and my mom's birthday. Our drinks were good. We didn't order food because we had just had dinner before. However they brought me and my mom these sundaes and played Uncle Luke birthday song. Very cute. And the sundae was absolutely delicious“

“It is a family-owned establishment that has been in operation for years. It must have the best bar food in Cobb County. I have been going there for 20 years and I have never heard anyone complain about the food, service, or price.“

“Excellent food and gathering place“

“Courteous service and laid atmosphere“

“Great lunch specials and prices 👌 weekly events like karaoke and trivia make it a randevou for many locals. Nice bands on weekends but they with charge for entry up to $20. Overall it's a good old school Georgia bar atmosphere with a variety of personalities to make your visit memorable.“

“The food was outstanding. The lobster risotto was probably my favorite menu item this time. However I have never been disappointed at C&S. Our server was amazing. I can't remember her name, but she was from New York and had curly hair.“

“Delicious tacos, guac, and drinks“

“Raising The Bar - Atlanta's Premier Mobile Bar Service is the essential component of a good party! The staff and Hitch Atlanta were incredible. All of our guests raved about how cool the bar was and how delicious the drinks were. Don't hesitate to hire Raising the Bar for your next party! w/Bluming Creativity“

“It was roasted fragrantly and tasted good. General service“

“This place has such a nice vibe from the moment you walk in — the décor is elegant and modern, giving it a classy yet comfortable feel. The service was excellent; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome right away.

We only tried some drinks and appetizers this time, and both were really good. The drinks were well-made and nicely presented, and the appetizers had great flavor and portion sizes.

If the weather’s nice, the outdoor seating upstairs is a must — it’s such a great setup with beautiful views and a relaxed atmosphere. It’s definitely the kind of spot where you can unwind, whether it’s for a casual hangout with friends or a cozy date night.

Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be back to try more from the menu!“

“Wonderful service and food. They were so friendly and ready to give great service. There were 5 of us and all of us loved our dishes and drinks. Such a great find!“

“Always a good time with the bartenders. Very attentive and they won’t hesitate to tell you when something on the food menu sucks.“

“I had the best time at the Betty! It was my first time going there’. The food and service was great! And the roof top was incredible’. I danced like no one Was watching! Special shout out to the DJ!“

“Great brewery in Sandy Springs! Great for dog owners and those looking for a chill spot, the bartenders are amazing, the food and atmosphere is incredible! Highly recommend going here with the friends!“

“Playground Lounge in Atlanta stands out as a versatile venue that caters to different crowds. Whether you’re looking for a place to unwind after work, enjoy a night out with friends, or even celebrate a special occasion, Playground Lounge offers a well-rounded experience that makes you want to return. The combination of great food, drinks, and entertainment makes it a must-visit spot in Atlanta’s nightlife scene.“

“Great atmosphere, drinks and friendly bartenders!“

“Great publication and Lisa was great to work with! I look forward to working with her and her publication in the future.“

“EVERY-SINGLE EMPLOYEE THERE IS AMAZING! I disagree with the below comments there are plenty of signs and they even gave out a print out of the parking directions etc. everyone I spoke with was amazing, kind, funny and oh so helpful! all around amazing! Chas thank you so much for being well you!“
