50 Best Bars near Hapeville

“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“

“We had initially gone to a restaurant around the corner, the atmosphere was bad. So we came to Sombreros, and I'm so glad we did. I was glad to see outside seating, nice atmosphere inside, large TVs at the bar, plenty of tables for seating. Just moments after taking our seat in a nice cozy Booth , our server greeted us, took our drink order, and before she walked away we had chips and salsa on the table. We were off to a great start. My chunky guacamole was made to order and specific, to my liking. The food was hot, and flavorful. Sombreros has been added to the list of place to bring friends.“

“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 ??“

“Great food and vibes“

“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“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!“

“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“

“love this place..like family“

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

“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.“

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

“The hot shrimp was 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

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

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

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food definitely going back“

“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!!!“

“Love the vibes and culture“

“Great rooftop bar! Had a great time.“

“Great tunes and great venue.“

“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!“

“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 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“

“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.“

“I wish FB had a love button! What a great place. Food was amazing, owner and staff very friendly and attentive , sound was great, vibe was laid back and crowd was great! Hope to perform there again soon. (Photo Jeff Evans)“

“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!“

“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 !!!“

“Best NOLA food in town. You wouldn’t know they’re not home grown.“

“The food here truly feeds the soul! From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional—warm, welcoming, and attentive. Every dish we tried was seasoned to perfection, delivering that classic Southern home-cooked flavor that’s hard to find. It felt like a comforting meal straight from grandma’s kitchen. I absolutely loved it and wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Five stars all the way!“

“I went out with some friends after attending the opening night of The Atlanta Black Theatre Festival. We had loads of laughs, and our waiter joined in and added to the laughter. The menu is very limited and geared towards patrons with a slightly more sophisticated pallet than the average person. I believe I had The Bronzino, which was trout on a bed of veggies with a special red sauce.
The fish was cooked to perfection with a nice crunch on the outside and juicy and flavorful on the inside. The veggies were the perfect size and had a nice soft crunch to them as well. The sauce was bursting with flavor!
I should've taken a Pic of my plate afterwards, cuz it was clean! Lol
We sat on the patio. It was nice, but they never turned the patio lights on, so the lighting was very dim. But it was a cool atmosphere.“

“The best bar to ever exist in the history of ever. I’ve made more friends and memories in this place than anywhere else. There’s nothing NOT to love about this Atlanta institution, and it will always be the stage I feel most at home on. Long live The Star Bar!!!!“

“Me and my lady randomly popped in last night. The atmosphere was cool and the owner was nice. The band was great! Most importantly, we loved that the menu actually showed you what liquor was in each drink.Plus, the drinks were reasonably priced, unlike the other spots in the A! This will definitely be a date night spot for us.“
