50 Best Bars near East Point

“Nice food selection for a bar. Fast service, even with just 3-4 people working they were handling the crowd well. 2 nice adequate restrooms. Drinks strong, didn’t like the heavy salt on the Paloma-should have ordered it without. Rum Punch and Espresso drink good.

-okra portion size is too small. Too much salt on them. Great fresh cook just give more and use less salt.

-Brussels are too oily and buttery-you can see the butter heavy. Good portion just too much butter.

-Brisket Taco-Great value and I loved the BBQ taste. General flour tortilla shell but at least it’s toasted. Would’ve liked the option of fresh corn shell but I understand this is a bar. Was about to order more food, but I already ate. Prices are good all around: pool tables, games, nice chill vibe with some outdoor rooftop seating. Entertainment on some nights. For the overall experience, it’s pretty close to a five star if not already five star to you. If someone gives it a four star, it is the kind of four star that with improvements could easily be a five star, and this could be quite the regular hangout spot for some. Adequate parking on the street and in the rear.“

“The name says it all!“

“We love the food it was great. Nice place and we were catered by the people will be back soon“

“The best crab boil I have ever had! I will be back! 😋“

“Great food, good drinks, ACF $15, lots of fun! Definitely try it!“

“The cheesesteak was delicious, but it's not the authentic "Philly Style"(more like an inspired by chop steak sandwich). I was a little disappointed at 1st glance, but that soon changed once I took my 1st bite. I've tried a few places in ATL, but they had one of the best tasting sandwiches. I would definitely visit again.“

“Seriously the best hot dog I’ve ever had. I dream about it. Fig jam, pimento cheese and sautéed onions, and the bun is so soft and yummy oh god I’m drooling now“

“Love the patio for coffee in the morning, drinks in the evening are very nice.“

“Came to ATL from out of town craving some good soul food, this place DELIVERED. I am planning to travel back to ATL just to eat here again. Well done Southern Queenz ??“

“The restaurant was a nice vibe, great service and the food was excellent.“

“Had lunch here today for the first time. The Valet was awesome, the atmosphere was friendly and laid back. We had Juan as our server and he was spectacular! The array of oysters we tried were fresh and tasty. We’ll be back!“

“Loved it and food was great“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If heartbreak has ever felt good in a place like this, it’s here at The Local, and I’d know best. This sacred institution has seen me through good days, bad days, and the crushing realization that my friends like my roommate more than me.

The wings? So good they made me believe in love again—until I remembered I was here to drown my sorrows. The drinks? Cheaper than my therapist, and honestly, more effective. The vibe? A perfect mix of “we gave up on renovations the same year we opened—1998” and “a place where everybody knows your name.”

It’s dark, it’s grungy, and if these walls could talk, they’d probably tell me to go home. But I won’t. See y’all tomorrow!“

“Great Brunch and friendly staff. Shay was awesome!!!“

“Me and my friends had a party there and nice food and drinks..My sever was very good this is my second party there. Thanks to everyone.. Ms Black was my severe and I really appreciate her.... Thank you Ms. Black“

“Great space with a funky and eclectic vibe. Drinks are tasty and top notch!“

“love this place..like family“

“Dope! Went here for dinner with some friends from college. Grown & Sexy. Well done spot with amazing energy and vibe. DJ Flo Jo was killing it with a great set of music. I loved the decor! I loved the art. I highly recommend this place. The only room for improvement i would suggest is the wait time for food to arrive. Once it came out was really good. Get the 404 wings.“

“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!“

“It’s small but intimate, almost like a speakeasy. The drinks are incredible and the bartenders know their stuff!“

“Excellent food and good service as well as dining outside atmosphere!“

“Awesome place to drink and play games. They also have a great trivia night on Sundays and a Smash Brothers Tournament!“

“The hot shrimp was 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“just plain GOOD. contrary to my last visit, my server was very nonchalant anddr this time around.. but the food was still delicious and promptly served🖤“

“I have been here twice now and can say this is just a really fun experience. If you enjoy craft cocktails, or just even something different than the usual fine dining scene GO! You will not regret it.

Onto the details! (without giving too much away). Prepare for like a tasting menu of cocktails. The times I have been there have been 4 cocktails, each paired with a bite of food, and an amuse-bouche. The experience is themed around a 70s-90s cult classic movie that rotates a couple times a year. So far I have been to Karate Kid and Pulp Fiction. They try to do everything they can to lean into the themes, which makes for some really fun drinks (and glasses).

It takes about an hour and a half and there are add-ons as well, I would always recommend the bump, and they probably will too. If you are a big drinker you can supplement with an additional craft cocktail, which are also delicious. If you are a light weight no worries, the standard menu will treat you just right.

The food bites are usually really good for what you would expect out of a taco joint in a bus... Think a mix between bar food and fine dining while trying to adhere to the theme. All together really good flavors and fun bites.

The service, atmosphere, food, and drinks are all top notch. It is just a really fun night, this spot makes for a great date night. Let loose, get into it, and have a great time.

Some tips:
It is two to a table, probably not the place to crowd in with 12 of your friends, although apparently the later serving can get rowdy.
Get the bump
Bring someone you feel comfortable sharing with
It is very red

If Tiger Sun actually reads this please add Tron to your theme list! I will be back“

“I really enjoyed saints and council. It’s a beautiful addition to colony square and the restaurant is very beautiful with a calming atmosphere. The food and drinks were amazing and our server King did a phenomenal job and I would definitely recommend this restaurant. 10/10!“

“I recently had a lengthy layover in the Atlanta airport and stopped in for a beer and a bite to eat.

First let me say, the bartender Ashlen was fantastic!!!! She was attentive and went over beer and food options with me. I had the Pernicious IPA and she recommended the Italian flat bread! Food, drink, and service was a 10/10!!!!

If you are ever at Hartsfirled Jackson stop by the Piano Bar on Conciurse E! It won’t disappoint!“

“Huge fan! Great place to hang with friends and meet new people!“

“Food was excellent. I love the atmosphere as well. Great people and great service all around. Ask for Anissa she is awesome! Great big smile surely lights up the room!“

“great vibe. no judgement.“

“This is a great beltline restaurant. The manager, Nash, was professional, accommodating, and clearly committed to ensuring excellent customer service. The waitstaff, Erica, was knowledgeable and extremely pleasant. The food and drinks were good. Finally, the live music entertainment was superb. I will definitely be back.“

“Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Make your own 4 pack was a great way to get a taste of Georgia beer for out of towners! In store wine tasting was a nice bonus and being able to enjoy it while we walked around the rest of the market to try food. Thanks for the cheesesteak recommendation!!“

“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!!!“

“I love the new patio. I've been coming for 15 years and it has always been like a gay cheers. Always a warm welcome and kind word. The staff is knowledgeable about the bar and there are always drink specials. I love the regular events like karaoke and trivia.“

“Such a great place! The vibe, layout, and music are great, and the crowd is a good mix of people. But I have to give the most credit to the people...fun, friendly, and excellent customer service! I have always had a good time here, but this past weekend was above and beyond. I hosted a friend's birthday which was an impromptu idea, and although last minute, the team at Holiday Bar stepped right up. First Erin, who handles events, helped me with deciding on the logistics, and even though I was asking for a space for the very next day, on a Friday, she was so kind and was committed to making something work, and she absolutely did! Then we get to day of, and the weather was not cooperating, and that is when Tom, the Operations Manager, stepped in with the proactive decision to move us inside, but it didn't stop there...the rest of the night, Tom and team were amazing with service, checking in on us, and ensuring all details were taken care of making this evening more than we even expected! A huge thank you to Tom, Erin, and the Holiday Bar team for an awesome night! We will definitely be back very soon, and this will remain a go to spot!“

“Cool spot with nice bartenders (specifically Brooke and Ida!) and good vibe. Didn’t have food, but everything looked/smelled good. Stage area is small, so good chance of being close to your fave bands. Look forward to going back sooner than later!“

“Great tunes and great venue.“

“EMILY WAS AMAZING!!!!!
There was an incident with some crazy people and she handled it with so much professionalism and maturity! Then she continued to work her butt off all night to make everything flow perfectly! We are visiting from out of town and I wish we could go here every weekend and have her as our server! Not to mention the food was awesome, they have some good cooks for sure!“

“Great food definitely going back“

“Great rooftop bar! Had a great time.“

“The food 10/10 the cocktails 10/10 the service 10/10“

“Love the vibes and culture“

“Staff was excellent, good was fantastic, music was loud enough to be heard but not so loud as to drown out conversation, lots of fantastic decorations. We went there for dinner last night and returned for lunch today. Food absolutely worth the price!!!“

“Great ace to find Geogia Grown local products, and Grocery. Best“

“i was in miami for one night with my friends & Yadira showed me a good time!!! i had the mango smoke show she recommended. 10/10 service i need her every time oh and she stayed on top of the bartenders with our drinks everything was so good i love her“

“I have been to this club several times The best show I have seen is s Chelekis band really awesome! This is a really cool venue. The owner is awesome it’s safe and fun some Incredible acts there!“

“Just a basic dive bar; but my favorite in the area. Has a pool table, some darts and a golf game, smoking patio out back.

Parking: There is somewhat limited parking around back. Not usually an issue, but at peak hours, you may have to sneak over to the lot next door.. shhhh ;)“

“We had an exceptional dining experience, thanks to the outstanding service from Faith, our waiter, and the expertly crafted drinks by Nick. Faith was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, making sure our meal was perfect from start to finish. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and made our 8th wedding anniversary celebration truly special. Nick's drink creations were impressive and added an extra touch of elegance to our evening. Beautifully presented and delicious, showcasing his skill and creativity. We are grateful for the wonderful service from both Faith and Nick and look forward to visiting again soon.“

“Great service. Food was amazing, with nicely size portions. The atmosphere was nice, and elegant. I will be returning!“

“Everything was good!!! My husband and I stopped in for a random visit based on reviews from Tik Tok. David was our sever and made the best recommendations! His service along with the food made me give this a 10/10 experience. We’ll be back !!!“
