15 Best Dive Bars in Atlanta

“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!“

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

“Another Great Dive I wish I remembered the name of nice old gentleman behind the bar. He is in the picture I posted. This is old dove bar that only serves drinks. The bartender was so friendly to us and had a shot with us. Prices are very fair and they always have live music. If you like dive bars, this is definitely one for you. Thanks“

“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)“

“Love the atmosphere of this place. Old school decor and laid back. Food was good and I recommend the fish and chips and the chicken cheesecake. My friend had the wings and she said they were just alright. Although they bring the food to your table there is no waitress service and you go up to the bar to order. Good selection of beer as well as a full bar.“

“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.“

“Every time I come here everything is perfect. I sat at the inside bar, my drinks and food were great.i can’t remember my lovely bartenders name, she was working the day bar inside last Saturday, but she was amazing.I’ve always had a good experience here.“

“The food was great the service with professional that was courteous and kind I would recommend it to anybody I believe they will enjoy being there I know we'll be back soonWheelchair accessibility: You can get in and out easy with wheelchair and the way the tables are set up they can slide the chairs were a wheelchair can come in“

“We have lived and worked and eaten and ridden past this place for almost a decade. We didn't quite know what to make of it. One night when my wife was out with her friends, I decided to try it out. I was looking for a place close by to possibly stop by and people watch on a regular basis. I walk in and there is this massive dude behind the bar with this smirk and cool sneakers on. He pours me the strongest drink I've had in Atlanta and all of a sudden I'm home. I bring my wife and now it's family. If you like down home dive bars with a diverse crowd, a jukebox, sports everywhere you look, and a heavy pour, look no further. See you guys soon!“

“This was my second time here. On both occasions they were host to a invite only special event as an offshoot to Whiskey x. This definitely has a dive bar kind of feel. The bartenders are nice and the drinks are well made but this is not a high-end or trendy kind of place. They have some standard video games and the sports game on tv. The prices are reasonable. You can park in the back and it technically says that you have to pay“

“Enjoyed a wonderful Day Party at Morris Restaurant and Lounge. The band was excellent and the mic was open. Nice place for an open mic poetry event on a Sunday Afternoon! Nice vibe, good people, great food too!“

“History: My Father’s band use to play here every weekend, (back in the day). I was with him all the the time. Band name was T.E.E, Time Effort Energy. I was very young. This place holds so much life value to me. So many great memories. R.I.P Jimmy Gates Sr. They were a Blues cover band.“

“A rainy Sunday afternoon.A great little bar with a friendly vibe. Solid gastro pub menu . We liked the huge hot dog with onions, a fantastic burger & and a great pizza . Cosmos were made right too . All the seating was padded giving this a 4/5 tush factor . I'll be back . .“

“Great local bar. Great food. Extremely friendly bartenders. They keep there schedule hours and serve food until the stated times. Great for a late night snack or to come on early and get dinner or lunch. Even entertainment upstairs and a street patio to get the feel of the atea.“

“By far the most consistent restaurant in Atlanta. prices are fair and they are true to who they are. They have RC cola which sums up how honest and real they are. Nacho Burrito is on point! The unique flat taste of RC Cola and the crunch of the Nacho Burrito will get you wanting to come back.“
