50 Best Bars near Forest Park

“What a breath of fresh air! I had the honor of seeing Black Girl Therapy 2 tonight and it did NOT disappoint! I went through EVERY emotion possible from smiling to crying to downright MAD! I highly recommend this play AND the book! Ladies (and gentlemen) you owe it to yourself to go! The vocals were off the charts! The natural acting skills were phenomenal! 10/10!“

“This place is a true gem especially if you like wings. When I went out didn't take me long at all to get my food. The wings were so crunchy and delicious, couldn't get enough of it. Mac and cheese was delicious as well.... Wish the Mac and cheese portion was a little bigger that's my only tiny complaint also wish it was open more often. Other than that I'd spend a good deal of my little money here.“

“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 ??“

“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“

“We visited The Red Phone Booth on 6/15 while in town for my cousin’s graduation. What no one knew was that I had just placed my mom on hospice and we had lost a cousin the same day—her sister and my mom’s baby sister were with us. Even in the middle of all that pain, we were shown such kindness. Sophia was amazing, and I even played pool with a member who didn’t know I could barely hold a cue. We didn’t look like what we were going through—but that night gave us joy we truly needed. Thank you for a beautiful experience. We’ll be back. ❤️“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Vibe, Always a Good Time My wife and I have been to Fellaship several times, and it never disappoints.

“My friend and I just happened upon Sakura as we were exploring the Lee & White space and we are so glad we decided to stop in and chat up the bartender and owner, Nico. Nico guided us through a sake tasting consisting of three unique sakes starting with junmai ginjo, usu nigori, and ending with nigori. Our time with Nico was very fun and informative and we can’t wait to come back with friends and try more varieties!“

“Great experience for their Goodfellas theme. The food and cocktails were on point for each course. The service from the entire staff was phenomenal.

My favorites were the tuna tonnato, lobster tortellini, and tiramisu. My friend enjoyed all her courses as well.

All of the cocktails were amazing and so unique. The standouts were the funny how, cutty water, and no more shines.

We can’t wait to be back for their next theme.“

“Gorgeous interior. Nice bartenders. Black owned. I enjoyed.“

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

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

“The wait for food was long. But they made it up for our wait and the food & drinks were great.“

“Stumbled across this place during a layover and now I make sure I always have time to stop by for a quick bite or a drink. The service has always been great and I love the chicken quesadilla. Messina always remembers me when I fly in which is a nice feeling in such a busy airport.“

“The Earl is a classic venue for watching live music. It is small and intimate and has great sound. I have been to several shows there in the past year and the sound has always been amazing. It feels like a club from the 80s but it is not dingy at all.“

“Best food in the city hands down. It’s a hidden gem and if you’re a foodie like me you’ll love it. Everything from the wings, splits, chili dogs, tacos on Tuesday and the soul food on Sunday is amazing. There has not been one thing that has come out that kitchen I didn’t love ❤️ ❤️ 😋 on Friday nights from 12am til 4am they do midnight brunch and the fish and shrimp and grits will be the best you’ve ever had. Bee Glad Lounge is definitely a 10 out of 10. The vibes are so chill, the music is always on point, there’s a pool table, axe throwing, slot machines in the game room if that’s your thing. They even do .50 wing Wednesday like they will have you big backing everyday lol You have to try it.“

“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.“

“Great tunes and great venue.“

“This place is great! The selection of beers is impressive and the prices are as well. There are no flights available but you can get 4oz samplers, 4 samplers for $10 which is great. You can spend a whole evening here just trying new flavors with the approx 50 different choices available. There’s some outdoor seating available which is nice since it’s a lot calmer outside. Thank you Scarlett for the good recommendations of both Weiss beer and Belgian ales.“

“It is very nice restaurant and bar to be with friends and have a good time.“

“Best burger and fries in the Spokane Valley. 5 STARS ⭐️ 🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Great tacos and I got the chance to hear some beautiful live acoustic Brazilian music on an impromptu visit reconnecting with my love.
Fun atmosphere where it seems there are a lot of regulars so it was cozy and inviting with art work catching your eye! I really will be back.“

“Recently visited Atlanta and The Park Bar
became our favorite pub after the first visit. The food was delicious, atmosphere fun and inviting, and the drinks were at a great price point. Warning their 3 shots for the price of 2 is not for beginners, but it comes with a souvenir cup and is perfect if your looking for fun night on a budget.. just plan on Ubering or walking. We tried the tenders and they were amazing,. We quickly became temp regulars and visited 3 times in our 3 day vacation. It was a perfect place to pregame before the music festival. Every bartender was friendly and attentive. So if your in the hotel district. The park bar is a must stop..“

“I absolutely love Octopus Bar. The vibe is effortlessly cool—dim, cozy, and a little edgy in the best way, perfect for a late-night spot or a relaxed evening with friends.

The oysters are super fresh and definitely a highlight. Pairing them with their wine selection made the whole experience even better—they have a really thoughtful list that complements the food beautifully.

Everything we ordered was flavorful and well-executed, with that perfect balance of creative and comforting. You can really tell they care about both the ingredients and the experience.

Overall, such a great place for good food, good drinks, and a great atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“I had an absolutely phenomenal experience at The Bar in the Atlanta airport thanks to two outstanding bartenders—Aaron and Autumn. From the moment I sat down, they made the atmosphere warm, fun, and welcoming. Their energy is effortless, their service is impeccable, and their attention to detail is next-level.
I ordered the Runway Margarita, and wow—easily one of the best margaritas I’ve had anywhere, not just in an airport. Perfectly balanced, refreshing, and crafted with real skill. Aaron and Autumn clearly know their craft and take pride in making every drink memorable.
If you’re passing through ATL, do yourself a favor and stop by The Bar. With bartenders like Aaron and Autumn, you’re guaranteed great drinks, great vibes, and a standout experience. Highly recommend! 🍹✨“

“Pop up dining options vary day to day. Check Instagram for current happenings.

Assortment of live music, comedy, karaoke, and other events.

Brunch on Saturday and Sunday.

Lavender Lemonade frozen drink is delicious. No frills cocktails hit the spot. Great bartenders.“

“Yes interesting menu and great flavors“

“Really cool place. Not a lot of people but the bands were awesome. The bartender was amazing and they had all the drinks we wanted. I like seltzer drinks and many places dont have them, but even though this is a dive bar (amazing dive bar for sure. I love dive bars as long as the service and drink selection is good), it felt like I was in the place that was my local watering hole. I couldn't ask for a better bartender or better drinks. I will be back soon. Amazing experience!“

“This was our first time at the restaurant, and we definitely intend to return. Our host was very pleasant and welcoming. Our server, Milan (sp?), was excellent! She was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Milan knew the menu well and gave us great suggestions for ordering. The bartender made an excellent ATL mimosa that did not disappoint. The ambience of One Flew South was right on point. We enjoyed the soulful music that we could sing along with, and the decor was simple elegance. We'll be going there soon for a date night!“

“Yass this is the place to be“

“It was our 35th Class Reunion. We had a good size group of 50 or more people. Even with the regular visitors, the staff was quick as they could be and very professional. We appreciate that!! -B.E. Mays High School Class of 1988“

“Nice atmosphere!! Great neighborhood pub!“

“Cozy atmosphere. Great service. Awesome location“

“Amazing food and even better service! Everything came out fresh and flavorful but what really made the experience stand out was our server Ajiah. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure I had everything I needed without feeling rushed. Will def be back!!“

“great vibe. no judgement.“

“I loved this place. The music was great, drinks were unique and not too expensive with good variety, and there were clean bathrooms. Not to mention no creepy men lingering around and everyone was very friendly and chill. Will be back for sure!“

“Lumen is the lounge at Atlanta's Ritz Carlton. They've a tasty menu and amazing drinks. Most importantly, they've live music with great players such as Cooper Tisdale and Elaina Trent.

The sandwiches are the order of the day. The sliders and burgers are delicious. The drink menu is astonishing.

Wheelchair accessibility is easy.

Gluten-free folks will need to advise the waitstaff upon arrival and vegetarians will be fine.“

“Love the vibes and culture“

“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.“

“As you can imagine, I was in the mood for trying a new restaurant and stumbled across Manny’s via my Yelp Search. Manny sits in a neighborhood so there is street parking as well as they offer a few parking spaces in the back of the restaurant. When you walk up, you are pulled in by the intimacy of the “neighborhood bar” feel you can see through the all glass front. The location is huge and offers a main and sun main entrance door. Entering through the main entrance, you get to experience a full snapshot of the vibe. With tables in the front and the bar towards the back right, you are instantly caught up in the energy that radiates from the patrons. We decided to sit in the small area near the sub main entrance as it offered a more eat and unwind tone. As you seat yourself, it was a few minutes before the waitress arrived at our table. Once she arrived she greeted the table and welcomed us to Manny’s. She immediately took our drink orders and advised she would return shortly. As we awaited her return, I looked around the room to see if there were any menus and there were not. When the waitress arrived with our drinks she inquired if we were ready to order… Me: “Can you provide us with the menu as we may take a look?” Waitress: “It’s a QR Code!” Me: “Can we get the QR Code?” Upon me asking for the QR code she realized we didn’t have one in our table. She proceeded to one of the back tables and returned with the QR Code. I decided on the Candy Andy burger with a Side Caesar Salad. My meal was an absolute delight. The lettuce was fresh. The Caesar dressing was very tasty and super creamy. I wouldn’t be surprised if I found out it was homemade as it was truly a flavor-rific experience. LoL!! The Burger was soooooooo good. With a “Smash Burger” base, the Candy Andy is a perfect play of Sweet and Salty. The well seasoned, perfectly done, super moist burger pairs perfectly with the caramelized onions that sit on top of it and becomes engaged to the candied bacon that tops the burger. Oh my goodness! I don’t know what foodie ninja came up with this killer mix of burger joy, however, they did an amazing job. This burger is an absolute 10 out of 10 for me and is so good that I will be back to indulge in one again soon. If you find yourself in the area and desire a neighborhood gem with a nice vibe and great food, make sure to stop by Manny’s and enjoy the experience. P. S. If you see me in there, blame it on the burger. LoL!!“

“New friends in the shadow of the old cotton mill. Pets welcome! And nightly food treats along with drinks(!) and Kevin the bartender.“

“Fun place good service. Highly recommended dive joint“

“I had a great experience at this restaurant and definitely plan on coming back. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out in a timely manner. Everything I ordered was cooked perfectly and exceeded my expectations.

What really made my visit stand out, though, was the service. My waitress, Rose, was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right throughout my meal. She checked in at the perfect times without being overwhelming and had such a positive attitude that made the whole experience even better.

It’s not often you come across service like that, and Rose truly made a difference. If you’re dining here, I highly recommend asking for her. Great food and even better service!“
