First time here. This place was recommended by a colleague. Loved the atmosphere and menu. Server was very knowledgeable regarding beer and the menu. I had the calamari (wonderful) and a pizza. Pizza was thin crust and cooked perfectly. Plus, the food came out quickly! Next time I am in Atlanta, I’ll find my way back here!
Took my family in for dinner tonight... my sis n hubby from out of town...I couldn't have asked for better service friendly staff delicious food... highly recommend it to anybody who wants to impress guests!!
You can find Kaleidoscope Bistro & Pub at 1410 Dresden Drive Suite 100, Brookhaven, GA 30319 in the heart of the newish community concept on Dresden. This is the corner building about a block west of the row that houses the very good Haven and Valenza. Parking is free on the streets that surround the buildings or you can opt for one of the lots or nearby valet. The exterior looks more like a municipal building or a bank than a restaurant, with white block columns extending from a red brick facade.

Since opening their doors in the fall of 2010, this comfortable and neighborhood-friendly establishment has certainly made quite a name for themselves within the community for their offering of high quality and affordably priced food and beer, along with incredible service. At the helm of the kitchen is Owner and Executive Chef Joey Riley, a graduate of the highly acclaimed Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. With over 10+ years in the restaurant industry both as an executive chef and as a culinary consultant, Chef Riley has led the kitchens of notable Atlanta restaurants such as Goldfish, Tom Tom, Indigo and the famed Buckhead Diner to name a few. Staying true to their name, Kaleidoscope, which symbolizes color and diversity, Chef Riley's cooking style incorporates quality local and seasonal ingredients that are both colorful and flavorful, which is represented through the restaurant's menu selection. While their new wood-grilled pizzas were what brought us here to begin with, the delectable bites and the warm, inviting atmosphere was what turned us into new regulars! (I've been back 3 times since this visit!). Having been in the area for meetings earlier that day, you can bet I made my guest speed through rush hour traffic because I just couldn't wait any longer to see what K Pub was all about!
Pretty Darn Good
We were taking our nephew, a student at nearby Oglethorpe University, out to dinner. This seemed like a good place that would be a nice evening out without being too stuffy. It is sort of upscale casual.
Service was very good. The setting is fun and friendly.
All the food was good, but nothing really great. It is a good place for an easy, solid meal.
Ray, Lando, and Matt are phenomenal bartenders. They have a phenomenal craft beer selection. The food is very good. Well peak hours do you draw a Buckhead-ish pompous/narcissistic crowd, the off-hours make this place well worth the stop.
This place has a good vibe and would be good for a night out with friends or a date. The service was great and our waiter (Ken) was very professional. The food was good though the flounder I got was slightly mushy but other than that the flavors were good
Great atmosphere. The Pulled pork quesadilla was disappointing but the chicken dish that was the special on the night of Friday January 17th 2014 was excellent. Service was ok at the bar but could have been a lot better. I'll be visiting this place again.
Tasty Burger. My fiancee and I stopped in tonight for a quick dinner. It was packed inside because they were doing a fundraiser, so we sat outside on the nice patio for probably the last decent night of the year. Our server was nice and provided very good service. She was on the ball the whole night.
We both decided to go with the Kaleidoscope Burger since we were in the mood for a pimento burger. It was really good and had a lot of flavor. The pimento cheese was some of the best I've had and the slaw on it blended well with everything. It was a tad small, but I guess it matches its price when compared to everything else on the menu. The taste made up for it though.
We'll definitely be back. We had a good time and enjoyed our meal. We'll just make sure to bring a little more money next time to try something else on the menu.
Choose Wisely. I like Kaleidoscope for what it is: a neighborhood bar with a great patio. The burger is indeed very, very good; probably on par with the likes of H&F. I'm also a fan of the calamari appetizer, which, like the burger, has been consistently tasty on my numerous visits. I "liked" this place because I know what to choose though. Really can't recommend much of the menu, as it doesn't deliver on other dishes (jerky - blech, potstickers - dry, steak salad - salty, southern fish fry - horrendous. seriously.).
Beer menu rotates and has many fine selections both in bottles and on tap. Prices very reasonable. My wife loves The Brookhaven cocktail, if you want a suggestion.
One thing they totally knock out of the park is brunch. The country fried chicken with biscuits and gravy is interstellar, and the grilled cheese fried egg BLT is great. Not to mention bottomless mimosas, if that's your thing. I can absolutely recommend it if you live in the Brookhaven area.
Cross between fine dining and an upscale sports bar. Ambiance - high ceilings with a hip vibe. If u like fresh, flavorful, spicy food this is the place. Wait staff is very friendly. Chef Joey, mastermind behind this awesome menu, often stops by to make sure your meal and experience are both exceptional. We enjoyed both.
Nice place for lunch. Food and staff were very good. Unfortunately they only served craft beers with no major brands… for those who are not familiar with the many craft breweries. We also were seated on a rear table, right next to the kitchen which was unfortunate. Our adjacent table also had chairs added at the end, that made it quite tight. We had burgers, a chicken sandwich and Cobb Salad. Parking available behind the shops.
Great service, awesome atmosphere, live music. Food. is. Amazing. Meatloaf was on point, prosciutto pizza was awesome! Definitely coming back for more!
This was a nice place for brunch. I really enjoyed the atmosphere an enjoyed the The variety of goods on the menu. I had the shrimp an grits. Omg too die for. All of it.
*Review #3 (8 months from 1st review): I don't usually leave tertiary reviews but I feel compelled.
I've sampled much of the menu. It has never failed me.
Tonight was served by 2 "new to me" bartenders. Both were really friendly, engaging and kind of funny, but Shannon was just awesome. Instant friends. That's how it should be at a neighborhood spot like this.
* Review # 2 (5 months later) : I've been here maybe...5 times since my initial visit. The food is really good, some fun and on point servers, and their self titled IPA is really pretty good.
But...my server sucked tonight, and she had juuuust a smidge of indignance about her. Just a bit.
And I ate my dinner sans a 2nd beer. I guess we lost our spot in her rhythm.
* 1st review: Tasty wings. Cool vibe.
This place is absolutely awesome I visited them about a week ago during their Sunday brunch. They offered $20 Bottomless mimosas and the outdoor patio was a great place to enjoy any meal any time of day. We had an epic time on the patio was filled with high energy. We were there celebrating a birthday and when we sang Happy Birthday or celebrated other tables started singing with us and started chanting with us. So we did the same to the other parties and it was sooo fun. The menu items were priced very reasonably and did I say the mimosas were off the chain? They were. I ordered a tuna Tatar and it was unbelievably amazing and I don't even eat raw fish. I also had a taste of a chicken taco that was amazing. I highly recommend this place for great food and a great time.
Lunch here was a treat. Our waiter Derek was great! Shortly after we were seated he brought us water (finally someone just took the liberty to give water without us having to ask for it) and took our appetizer order. We had the Green Chili Chicken and Cheese Flautas and 1 1/2 lb Jumbo Chicken Wings. The wings were big and hot. They are some of the largest wings I have had in Georgia. This was a good choice it wasn’t heavy and they were good. For an entree I had the Herb Crusted Salmon and it was delicious and filling. My companion had the Steak Frites which he enjoyed. For our drinks we enjoyed the Bottomless Mimosas. Derek continue to fill not only our mimosa glass but also our water. Even after we paid our bill and we sat to talk for a little while Derek continued to fill our water. He was very nice, friendly and sweet. Thank you Derek for making our first visit to Kaleidoscope a pleasant and welcoming one!!
This place has always had good food. Forgot about it for year until a friend brought it up and we went. I highly recommend the burger. It is a bit small so might want to make it a double. The pub fires, egg rolls, and calamari are all amazing. Definitely a nice spot to try if you have been or are in the area frequently.
Nice lively spot in a great location. Parking available behind and on the street. Several great gluten free options. Calamari was extremely tasty and crispy but very small pieces so for me the ratio of meat to coating was not great. Wings were fantastic. Big, crispy, delicious buffalo sauce. Steak frites were good but the chimichurri is more oil than herbs, and coated every fry and piece of steak. Another review described them as greasy and they are not wrong. Ordered one to go and meat was very very salty, even with all sauce on the side. Food came out lightning fast. Bar is attentive and cares very much about their drinks, which is well appreciated.
Cute place to eat in Brookhaven. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of it. The food is good, not great but I really enjoyed my steak frites. It was definitely greasy, but the flavor was very good. The dining room is spacious with a lot of tv’s by the bar. Overall, pretty good choice.
Not much has changed! Great Bartenders Everyone is so friendly. I can understand being nice to someone who is nice to you. But they are Nice to everyone. It’s best to visit this place as much as possible.
I have been here a bunch of times and each time was amazing. The Rugged Big Boned Bearded Bartender is overly friendly. And the Towering Danty on is a better than most Stand up Comedians.
I guess they are extremely happy and want those who pay for drinks to feel that as well 🤷♂️. Help is hard to come by these days so good for this restaurant in having some of the best
