26 Best Bar & Grill near Forest Park

“The experience was more than I expected. My daughter whose in the Navy and stationed oversees came to visit but was leaving on Saturday so I wanted to spend a Friday night with her before she left. Well I was very pleased with the food and the atmosphere. Initially when we arrived I was ready to go to another spot due to it was dead but little did I know we were early. Our waitress I can’t remember her name was the bomb, I give this spot an 11 out of 10.“

“My friend girl brought me to this restaurant for my birthday. I had the turkey ribs, collards, yams and Mac and cheese and the bread pudding, we even tried the fried green tomato,she had the turkey wings. OH ! My gosh the food was sooo, ( never heard of nor had a turkey ribs) it was so tender and the sauce was point on. I don't mind paying a good piece if the service and food is great. When I left this restaurant I took a picture and posted on Facebook, telling everybody I know about this fabulous time at this place and they got to try it out. The service, and my waiter was a 10 .plus“

“This was the BEST meal I had in Atlanta! Our waitress and staff were phenomenal! I highly recommend this place!“

“I attended my nephews wedding here and it was amazing. The staff was awesome. Attentive. And, very knowledgeable. The manager Bret recommended numerous drinks and drink specials. He made the night for us. I live in Maryland but will definitely be back! Make sure you stop in for good food and drinks!!!“

“You have to try the Cuban sandwich, I’ve never been able to find one better“

“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.“

“My husband and I was looking for some place new to go for dinner and i found this place on the internet. We had never heard of it and it was close to our home so we decided to check it out. The set up is nice. I believe there are 3 or 4 dinning rooms. The staff was really nice and very attentive. We didnt make any reservations which they do prefer but they sat us still without a wait. The drinks were really good and they did not hold out on the amount of alcohol. Now the dinner. OMG Dinner was off the chain. I tip my hat off to the chef. I had the Honey Glaze Salmon and my husband is vegan so he had The Smoked spinach Asparagus Mashed potatoes and Brocolini. When I tell you this had to be the best food with so much flavor. We were more then pleased. The only complaint we have is the music got really loud. If couldnt hear each other even if you are sitting right next o each other. But other then that I will definitely return and I must say I am adding this to my list of best restaurants in Atlanta.“

“The best steaks in South Atlanta. Casual environment. Top notch service.“

“Good food, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, cold beer, good wine… We will be back !“

“This is one of the most beautiful bars I have ever been to! Not only are the cocktails and food outstanding, but everyone who works there is SO kind. Everyone is helpful and attentive. This is the perfect spot to walk to with friends and have drinks and food. You can stop in for just snacks, but you can also have a full dinner there! 10/10 the coolest place ever!! Would recommend to anyone!!“

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

“Candice was an AMAZING server!! She was attentive, efficient, and friendly. I really appreciate her warm hospitality…good customer service is lacking lately, but it was so refreshing to have Candice as my server today.“

“I LOVE SUGAR BUSH. GO HERE ON A REGULAR. LOVE THE FOOD, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE, DRINKS AND MUSIC. I WAS COMING HERE BEFORE I MOVED HER TO GA, NOW I'M IN GA, I COME ON A REGULAR BASIS. ALSO, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL BIRTHDAY PARTIES HERE. LOVE THIS PLACE. *****“

“Just great vibes and customer service!“

“Nestled in the heart of a downtown Atlanta, Five Points, is a hidden gem that captivates both the palate and the soul. LA’s Bar and Grill serves the best chicken wings hands down! The ambiance is warm and inviting, but what truly sets LA’s Bar and Grill apart is its impeccable southern hospitality. The staff treats every guest like family, ensuring a dining experience that feels both intimate and extraordinary. A visit to this delightful eatery is more than just a meal—it's an unforgettable celebration of flavor and community.“

“This place was an amazing vibe. The design is very artistic. The food is great. Those jerk turkey burgers were great. The wings, fries and fish is good also. The Margaritas we sooo good. The owners Will and Johnathan we very personable along with the waitresses. This is my new spot!!!!!“

“My server Toni was great! I wasn’t happy that they didn’t have three types of beers I ordered. I had the bratwurst sliders and they were ok, nothing too special …. Wasn’t a huge fan of the loud music but it was a great choice to people watch as I had some time before a flight.“

“My boyfriend and I just ate here for the first time today. We live an hour away and wanted to try something new since we were in the area. The food was AMAZING! We had edamame for an appetizer, my boyfriend had a mushroom quesadilla and I had a delicious Buffalo shrimp salad. Only disappointment was the service from the bartender. We had to ask if we could order, we had to ask for refills, and she never did a check back on the food; so we had to ask for her attention about a question I had concerning my salad dressing. Other customers sitting down had to do the same for service. This was all because she was on her tablet reading. So anytime we interrupted her it was because she was reading from her tablet. This was a disappointment but will try again because of the food quality and nice atmosphere.“

“Typically I wouldn’t pick a spot like this but my son frequents here’s and we ere visiting him and it was late and we were hungry lol BUT… glad I didn’t let appearances change my mind. It’s a younger crowd but everyone was very cool and respectful. Busy but somehow the gentleman behind the bar continuously checked on us and provided great service. The drinks were great and the FOOD?! So pleasantly surprised!! The food was delish!! everyone in our party really enjoyed their food. The area right outside was busy which made me think it was crazy inside but overall no. The only down as the bathrooms. They needed some cleaning. It’s a (great)dive bar. Drinks and missed toilets go hand in hand 😂“

“Food, staff, drinks... all 20 out of 10.“

“Well… We were looking for a to-go meal and wanted something close by. As our search went, we came across this Irish Pub, as the name it was under. Looked at the menu and wife saw Pork chops, and some other sides that sounded like a winner.

So, I went to this place, located in Rex, at the Creekside Village shopping center, next to Food Depot.

Turns out that the name was changed to Urban Pub Bar and Grill. I remember seeing it once before and the place was packed in the evening hours. Parking isn’t an issue due to the shopping center lot, so no worries there.

Went in and it is a decent size place. The menu has changed just a bit since it was bought by another party. Still though, we could get most of what I saw of the menu online. Opted for the fried pork chop meal, added a side of fried okra, cabbage, greens and mac n cheese. It comes with 2 sides already with the meal. That was the cabbage and greens. Also added an extra chop too, it comes with just one.

The chops were seasoned just right, and the crunch was tops, and still moist inside. Someone knows how to cook back in that kitchen… The greens were spicy and excellent, and the cabbage was on point too. There was a piece of smoked meat in it and it was tasty… Then the mac n cheese, it was creamy and had a slight crust on top, tasted a few types of cheese in it, I thought one was Smoked Gouda, though I didn’t ask. The okra was also fried just right, crunchy and tender. Overall, it was a hit.

Lunch specials are advertised in the bar but was told that one or more may change soon.

It has a Stage, and pool table area (maybe 4 total), as well as some digital slots in the same area. A juke box too.

A main bar as you enter and plenty of seating. The have bands and Karaoke on certain days too. Car shows they host as well.

I went during the afternoon, so it wasn’t busy at all, but nights seem to be the party time. If the food is this good, then I can be assured that the rest of the menu items are more likely to be a hit.

We’ll be back for those Ribs, wings and fish meals I’ve been peepin…

Parking: Located in a shopping center, plenty of spaces.“
