38 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.“

“Our small gathering on the 6th of December was heavenly. This young lady was sweating and smiling so I had to photo her. The overall experience was great with Service and the Atmosphere was breath taking. The food was exceptional except the desserts were a little dis tasteful, but, I had eaten so much it could be my palate. This is one of the most pleasant experiences that I have been a part of in 2025. Please keep up the momentum. Happy Holidays.“

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

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

“This is a local spot. I went here with my homegirl. It is in like downtown east point and it was recommended by some coworkers. Obviously its an upstairs bar that over looks an alley but it was still pretty cool. When you walk in the first thing that hits you is the smell the whole place just smells old almost moldy. Depending how sensitive you are to smell it can be an issue. For me I could enjoy the food or anything else because it just bothered me so much. There is a balcony outside but everyone out there was smoking cigarettes and cigars so that wasn't my scene. Besides that the bar looks really cool. There were lots of games and arcades in there. The bar tender was super cool. I didn't eat anything so I can't speak on the food. If your into hippy bars with an 80's feel you'll love this place. It's not for everyone but I could see a lot of people liking it.“

“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“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“My home away from home 🖤🖤🖤“

“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.“

“I had an incredible experience at HAPPY HOUR ATL!!! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the vibrant atmosphere and the welcoming staff. The food was absolutely top-notch—each dish was bursting with flavor and perfectly prepared. The cocktails were expertly crafted, offering unique twists on classic drinks, and the hookah flavors provided a relaxing vibe to enjoy before and after the meal. Whether you're looking for a great meal, delicious drinks, or a chill place to unwind with friends, this spot has it all. Highly recommend it for a night out—I'll definitely be returning! Five stars all the way!“

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

“I wanted to support a small business since I live 10 minutes away. That was the right decision. I got the smash burger and it was one of the best I had in the Atlanta metro. It was so tender it was falling apart and flavorful without being extra. You guys can cook! I'm getting something for my wife next time I come back. Keep up the good work.“

“ATL!! This is THE SPOT. What a great place. The atmosphere is electric, a dope DJ on the weekends and GAMES; darts, ping pong, skee ball and more. Chicken fingers that melt in your mouth and the adult drinks get the job done! If you're going anywhere else you're wasting your weekend. Go check it out!“

“Great time is always had!“

“Just great vibes and customer service!“

“The bar is great--good service, neighborhood feel. If you get a table, you order from the bartender & someone will bring the food out. If you need silverware or condiments, etc, either quickly catch the person who drops it off or hunt it down yourself. The wings are ok. Onion rings are heavily battered-- go with the tater tots. Fish & chips are amazing.“

“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!!!!!“

“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. *****“

“i had wings before from here and they were ok however tonight i ordered and had it delivered 2 orders of red beans and rice with catfish and not only was the cat fish undercooked but it was old and spoiled. It reeked i could never eat here again. Tje chef had to know that fish was no good.“

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

“Always pop on for a quick drink and a bite“

“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.“

“The grown folks vibe! As well as the " Excellent " food and great music".“

“Judii was amazing. What a delightful server: Attentive just the right amount, a good disposition, and she cares about the guests. Our hostess was also friendly as well.

Food: What a great burger for an airport pub, seriously. You usually can’t get burgers in an airport, but we did here. The arugula side salad was also tasty.

And doesn’t hurt that we are soccer fans so the soccer menu was fun.

Cheers to the staff.“

“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.“

“Stopped here with the family on the way home on a long trip. They didn't know that we weren't locals but they prioritized our takeout order as if we were kings and queens. The food was excellent. I wish it was a local restaurant for us at home. The takeout dishes were perfectly put together even after transporting them back to the hotel. Very impressed with this restaurant. The owner is obviously very involved with day-to-day operations. Great place. Highly recommend it.“

“nice atmosphere good vibes“

“Stopped here on the way back from a conference. There were 5 of us. 2 enjoyed the shrimp and grits, 1 got the wings and onion rings, 1 a burger and 1 a pizza.
