50 Best Bars in Atlanta

“Celebrated my birthday here and it was nothing short of amazing! Bacchanalia offers a four course meal with your choice for each. I had the Crab fritter, Halibut, Brillat-Savarin cheese, and the Satsuma cake for dessert. We also ordered Kumamoto oysters from Washington that were incredible. The chef sends thoughtful little gifts throughout the meal too! The wine sommelier recommend a beautiful Bordeaux to pair with everything with. Overall an incredibly beautiful restaurant, food, and service. I can’t wait to go back and experience their evolving menu.“

“The sachetti (little purses) are to die for. The Marsala crème sauce is delicious“

“It was happenstance that I ended up at Marcus B&G since the Valet Manager at my Hotel had recommended McCormick and Schmick's. I decided to check OpenTable for more local fare and came upon Marcus B&G, which was absolutely delightful - spectacular food; a very fun, kitschy environment; the Wait Staff was so attentive and the other Patrons were welcoming! I would highly recommend Marcus B&G to anyone visiting ATL!“

“Food was good excellent waiter service it was outstanding service from Marcus Nelson wonder guy positive energy !“

“I had wings and nachos with local beers for dinner.I like my choice! Great!Good foods and services, but, after a hour here inside with my friends, I felt my throat was getting sore and loose my voice because the air inside is too bad. My throat was sore for 2 days after I had dinner with my friends here.It maybe good to sit outside.“

“Good food and drinks with a cozy atmosphere!“

“This place is great. It’s in Atlanta. Staple where you can put church choir ropes on when you go. On certain days they have drag and karaoke. When you go on the weekends it’s a great place to dance. They also have picnic tables outside. This is a great place to be casual but also have a great time.“

“I love the gender neutral bathroom and the ambiance. I do hate the wait times are so long but overrall it was a nice adult only space. the band was good too but the music should definitely be more inclusive I love rock and live bands but definitely add some funk, hip hop etc“

“Loved it. Great food and reasonably priced“

“Awesome venue! Very south beachy very relaxed, great drinks and nibbles. Great service. Paul and Lewis the owners are awesome! Great place to party on a Sunday fun day!“

“I would like to highlight two employees of this establishment I frequent so often - Lucy and Abby. Both integral parts of my positive experience at Bar Ti Amo. Lucy, with her infectious personality, attentive nature, and professionalism, her impact on my dining experience is invaluable to say the least. She makes me feel apart of the Bar Ti Amo family and is one of the staff members that keep me coming back on a regular basis. Without her, the dining experience would be significantly crippled.Abby, meeting her more recently, is a personable, warm, and entertaining bartender. Her easy-going approach to conversation left a memorable mark on my experience at Bar Ti Amo. Attentive, caring, and approachable, is what keeps I and others sitting at the bar with Abby.Confidently, I can say without these two individuals here, my experience at Bar Ti Amo would not be as unique and cherished as it is.“

“Love this delightful sport and we always come here to play as service is always pleasant and friendly. Food and drink menu also ranges from classic concessions like burgers, nachos etc to full service like fried chicken etc and it is deliciously satisfying. So worth our time bonding and playing.“

“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 ??“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“We had Grindhouse Killer Burgers food truck for a neighborhood event today and I highly recommend them!! The food was fantastic! They were easy to work with, super kind, clean and organized! Above and beyond customer service! Just outstanding!!“

“The restaurant decor is beautiful and the menu options are fabulous. The food was delicious. The only con I have is that they add automatic gratuity, even though I dined solo.“

“Delicious!!! We had the McDowell cheeseburger and the Bavette steak with soba noodles. Both were unique, flavorful and yummy. The burger is not to be missed. I don't know what they put in it, but it melts in your mouth. Do not skip the lemon Amalfi desert. Holy moly! It's a hand shaped lemon made out of shortbread, layers of lemon cake with lemon curd and lemon cream, accompanied by lemon basil olive oil gelato and butterfly sauce that turns from blue to purple once it gets combined with the citrus. Just a flavor explosion! Always top notch service and high quality food. We love L3!“

“It was great casual dining for outside gathering.“

“Love the patio for coffee in the morning, drinks in the evening are very nice.“

“Social Atmosphere and great food… nice portions and priced well“

“Loved it and food was great“

“Nice atmosphere!! Great neighborhood pub!“

“I live nearby and had dinner at 26 Thai in Politan Row, Midtown Atlanta. Ordered the black pepper salmon and veggies—delicious. Despite the crowd, a quick tip: use the QR code to order and skip the line. Great spot nearby! Will be back to try other dishes.“

“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!“

“My Love brought me here for a date night after hanging out at Sling shot. The best oyster bar hands down. The service is 14 star and the food was great. I will be back.“

“2nd time @ 26 Thai Kitchen. Both times… excellent service & delicious food. Very tasty, healthy, flavor & served hot. Our server was Trey & he was wonderful! Will go back again. Also prices are not bad & they take reservations.“

“Reservation is strongly recommended since most tables are full for the night by the time you walk in. We had three steaks and the slow cooked prime rib was our favorite. Definitely recommended!!Kid-friendliness: Kid's menu was provided.“

“We were here last Thursday and had a great time! Fun atmosphere and drinks were good. It’s nice that they have tables to set your drink on while playing. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Didn’t get to experience the roof due to the rain. The place was phenomenal chic decorations. Excellent service and the food was off the chain. I had the fried catfish it was seasoned and fried to perfection. Our table tried several of the dinner options everyone was very pleased with their meal. Drinks were fabulous!!!!? A nice change off the beating path“

“Hands down the best wings in the city! That’s saying a lot coming from an Atlanta native. We’re the city of wings like literally, and all of the other wing spots can’t compete. I’ve been coming to this place since 2021 and they NEVER let me down.. Get your wings before 9pm.. They usually sellout. I wish this place was open Tuesday as well, but I can’t even complain. 10 outta 10!“

“This is a very cool vibes kind of bar. Very Boho chic with a Rastafarian feel with comfortable seating nooks. The drink menu was diverse, good and affordable. The bartender was super nice and made great recommendations. The music was great as well. The coolest thing was the doorway/entrance is a pink shaped coffin (can we say phot-ops!) We had a great time cant wait to go back.“

“Always a wonderful experience!“

“Great food definitely going back“

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

“Great beers, great food, amazing service. What's not to love?“

“I love the atmosphere. I'm not sure if it is new but they have some work to do. They came to our table 4 times with food for other tables. Service was extremely slow. It's too nice a place to get patted down when you come in and it takes a long time to get into the humidor because it's locked and they have to find someone with a key. Once they work out the kinks it will be an awesome place.“

“Tucked away in Inman Park is this gem. Not a cookie cutter bar in any way shape or form. Haven't been in years but who wouldn't love to sit next to a retailer and his dachshund for his grilled cheese? Highly recommend the mango mule. Great vibe and great bartenders. Good for day drinking, date, or just a catch up with friends.“

“The food was exquisite and the atmosphere was perfect for the small gathering I was attending. The service was stupendous from Evelyn and she was able to fulfill any request that we had. She was a great person to have a server and I greatly appreciate her.“

“It’s the best pizza around!“

“It’s always a GREAT time here. Parking is right if you get there after 930/10 any night! The drinks will drink you! Lol. If you don’t like being around a lot of people/it being packed then don’t show up after 1030/11 any night. Oohhhhh but if you like friendly funny staff and a great time then go here! Smile, dance, drink, play pool, repeat!!“

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

“Love the concept and location!! Food is yum too but for the love of common sense - pls stop making people stand in two separate lines for food and drinks. There's enough automation available that this isn't hard... instead of expecting everyone to stand in line 10-15 mins for cocktails and then 10-15 mins for food and then pay tips for your hard work.“

“Stopped in for a bite and a couple drinks for a friends bday. The atmosphere is casual and dark and the service was fantastic. We ordered a few different dishes and some drinks including the oysters and steak tartar. While the steak tartar was delicious, the yucca chips were undercooked and scarce. Regarding the oysters, I would suggest you do not order them here. The oysters were tiny and they were served with one slice of lemon. Unfortunately, the kitchen was unable to provide any other toppings for the oysters, including horseradish, despite it being used in the steak tartar. These were some of the saddest oysters I've ever seen. The other food I tasted was pretty good, including the sorbet dessert we ordered. All of the staff I met were friendly and helpful. All in all, a bit pricey for the reality, especially considering the sad oysters.“
