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.“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Vibe, Always a Good Time My wife and I have been to Fellaship several times, and it never disappoints. The vibe is grown, professional, and perfect for anyone looking to relax and enjoy a good cigar. Whether it’s a date night or just kicking back with the guys, this spot always hits the mark. Great atmosphere, great service—highly recommend!“

“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. ❤️“

Visitors highlight the intimate atmosphere for live music, noting the excellent sound quality for shows. They also mention the friendly and attentive staff, along with reasonable drink prices.“

“Had a fabulous birthday experience here back in March! The service was stellar - friendly yet professional. We had an event to attend after dinner and, despite a short timeframe, service flowed smoothly and didn't feel rushed. Our favorites were the charred cabbage, the complimentary heart kebab, and the duck. I had been eyeing the heart on the coursed menu, but since we decided to go with the a-la-carte option to try more things, I had to let it go. You can imagine my delight when it was brought out as a gift from the kitchen! (Thank you Patrick! I'm sure you had a hand in making that happen.) The desserts were creative and interesting. I would definitely recommend giving both the melon sorbet and white pepper ice cream a try as their flavor combinations were very unique.“

“This little restaurant is divine the food is so good here the staff are so nice xx its right next to senator banus hotel and spa 5☆“

“The Local is a dive bar (in a good way!) with some really good wings. The line was out the door and once you get in, you order at the counter and then have to find your own table. When we got inside, it was packed inside and every table was also taken. I’m assuming that The Local is usually this busy because also they talk about how they regularly sell out of wings. When we asked, they said they sell out usually 2.5-3 hours after opening so you definitely have some time. The wings themselves were really good! To be honest, I’m usually a boneless wing kind of person and these are traditional wings, but they were great! I went for the 1/2 & 1/2 so I could try two different flavors. I went with the Korean and Spicy Korean and they’re quite different. The Korean is a bit more sweet and the Spicy Korean has a little kick. If you like spice, the Spicy Korean is very mild - not a bad thing, just not super spicy if that’s what you’re looking for. But, it’s still good. Both sauces were good, but I’d go with Spicy Korean as my favorite of the two. I also got a side of fries and that was a pretty generous size which was nice! Overall, cool local dive bar vibe and really really good wings! If you go, just go early and be ready to have to keep an eye out for a table to snag in a free for all style!“

“A reservation only hidden gem! Amazing vibe, excellent service, great cocktails! As many others have stated before, eat first. Pairings with the drinks are small to modest. If budget allows, get the extra waygu skewers or caviar bumps, but the value proposition is some apps or tacos at Muchacho. If you've come for some nostalgia and drinks you're golden. Don't arrive hungry and expect a big dinner. Loved the Back to the Future theme! I'll be back (in time?)“

“F-1 Arcade at The Interlock delivers a strong overall experience, especially if you’re looking for a lively, family-friendly outing with good energy and entertainment built in.

From a food perspective, it was a mixed bag. The fried crab unfortunately missed the mark—it lacked freshness and didn’t deliver the flavor or texture you’d expect from a standout appetizer. That said, the brisket tacos more than made up for it. They were well-executed, flavorful, and tender, with a solid balance that made them a clear highlight of the menu.

The drinks were another strong point. Well-crafted, refreshing, and consistent, they complemented the atmosphere perfectly and elevated the overall experience.

Service was solid across the board. The staff was attentive, professional, and kept things moving smoothly despite the busy environment, which added to the positive vibe of the visit.

Overall, F-1 Arcade is a great choice for a family outing or casual night out. While not every dish hits, the standout items, quality drinks, and engaging atmosphere make it worth the visit.“

“Food was amazing!!!! Service was great!“

“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!“

“Thank for an awesome food, atmosphere, and wonderful service! Severs were punctual, friendly, and attentive! Love the music and the vibe!!! Only downside is needs more seating! 10 out 10 service!!! Tyler and Neicy were authentic, and on top of helping us out! Super clean! The bean buger wa on piint with the tots!They suggested a few things and were great companion. Thanks for the opportunity to decompress after a long week!!! Keep it up!“

“We visited Bad Axe Throwing for the US Open and spent a lot of our down time at The Whelan! Staff was friendly, food, drinks and drink selections were amazing! Alec the bartender makes the best Buffalo Trace Manhattans, props bro! The pool table area has great ambiance. If we're ever over that way again, we'll definitely go back! Keep it up!“

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

“From Ohio- It is the perfect kinda dive bar with class. Servers were lovely and drinks were perfect ! Will come back!“

“I loved every aspect of 26 Thai Kitchen and bar. The service was excellent. The food was really good, including the massive one that allows you to order four for a discounted price. The dishes were fresh, and the sauces that came with complimented their flavor. The main dishes were great too. I had a sweet and sour chicken which came in a pineapple boat and my husband had a pad Thai flavor inspired chicken. The atmosphere was awesome, felt very cozy and retro.“

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

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

“I got the skinny margarita, and it was perfect. It was made exactly how I like my margs. Easily a 10/10 cocktail!

They have a nice selection of draft beers, but don’t overlook the cocktails. Based on my margarita alone, the bar staff clearly knows what they’re doing. 🍹✨“

“Detonya. This is the best layover spot I’ve ever hung out at. The Pianist is incredible and the service is great and prices are not bad for an airport. Shout out to Detonya. She was so friendly. Never thought an airport food court bar would wow me but here we are.“

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

“Friendly personal friendly service“

“Salmon was great, fresh, tasty!! Terrific bar tenders!! Ask for Charles, he is amazing!!!“

“Love this place on Fridays in particular. This is a good spot to mingle with Black gays (of course other types are here too) outside of Mixx (too pricey to get in). This place is free usually, the customers are friendly and music is popping on Thursdays just ok on Saturday unless you keep telling the dj what to play (the dj on Friday knows what to play). Great place to mingle and party. Drinks could be a little stiffer (I dont drink regularly)“

“In from out of town but treated like a local from the start. Alex was amazing from the beginning. He was the first one to great us and through out the night was super friendly and attentive. If I was local, this would 100% be my local hang. Will visit again when in town.“

“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.“

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

“Went there March 14th with my homegirl after leaving the drunken unicorn. It was sooooo much fun we ended up staying there most of the night! The bartenders were super nice and gave me my second drink on the house! I had a frozen margarita 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 so so good and strong but in a yummy way! Great atmosphere everyone was friendly and it wasn’t super crowded, music was on point. We will definitely be back when the weather gets warmer 💕🥰💕“

“We had a wonderful dining experience, and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing server, Nia. From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel genuinely welcome. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and positive energy truly elevated our evening. The food was fresh and flavorful and not greasy. Between the outstanding service and the amazing food, this was an experience we will definitely remember.“

“Great tunes and great venue.“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“Amazing service, unique food.“

“We stopped in while walking on the Beltline and were just planning on getting something to drink (water). Looked at the menu and decided to try one thing. That turned into a few more things. I'll be thinking about (and craving) that delicious sandwich and mocktail until I go back. Delicious!“
