This has been my favorite bar since moving to Atlanta. The place has a divey feel but they serve great food and cheap drinks. I got the note that this place was closing this week and I had to visit one more time. The place is packed since it is closing. They have a limited menu. It took forever to get service but that is expected. I got a burger, brunswick stew, and two well drinks. Everything was delicious. Good times.

This place is closing so it was crazy when we got there. We had to go to the bar cuz no one would wait on us and we didn't order food. But it still has been a great place to go and will be missed tremendously

We were visiting from out of town and wanted an after dinner drink. This place came up as it was near the hotel we were staying at. The drinks the 4 of us ordered were pretty good: bourbon old fashioned, Screwball old fashioned, Titos and a beer. The server was very nice and attentive. The atmosphere was lively. We had a good time but were surprised that smoking is allowed. It didn't bother us, but if it does you, this might not be the place for you.

Great, no-frills bar. I play darts here with my buddy. The bartenders are all great. There are two dart boards in a little alcove that's set aside from the rest of the bar. The boards are in great shape, the lighting is good, etc. Would appreciate more vegetarian/vegan food options.

It is exactly what it’s supposed to be and nothing less or more. Food is good, drinks are good, people smoking, eating, and having a good time. A real bar & pub.

Best dive in Atlanta. Amazing, fresh smoked BBQ, but also great burgers and other homemade style food. Fun atmosphere with great people.

Always a great place to hang out with great pub-by food and cold beer. And Jessica Rabbit is the best bartender ever! CACA has spoken!

We had a great time here. Ri is really friendly and gave great service. The decor has an awesome 70s vibe, and their blue cheese sauce is really good. The drinks are good too.
