I've been going to Highlander on a regular basis for more than ten years. Best bar food in the city. Wait staff is fantastic, they remember my name and my drink order. I would recommend a trip there to anyone.
5 fucking stars every damn time!! Bartender is great, atmosphere is so laid back and the food is phenomenal!!
Try the pastarella sticks as soon as you can! Trust me, they do not disappoint!!
I have never had a better meal than today's Christmas Plate at The Highlander! Everything was delicious and the pecan and sweet potato pies were to die for. Kudos and Merry Christmas to the Chef and helpers who prepared the food.
One of my favorites in Atlanta. Food is great, staff and regulars are super friendly. I would highly recommend.
Just a kick as place to go, cool art, good food, awesome people.
Fabulous waitress. Wings were dry but the drinks made up for it. It’s a great vibe and atmosphere.
The Food was some of The Best I have ever had in a Bar,and The Waiter were Awesome. I would really recommend trying this place when you are in Atlanta GA. Love it !
One of the best if not the best bar in Atlanta... from the service ,to the food and hospitality these guys got it down
Always an amazing time, and the food is TOP NOTCH!!! Highly recommend the pastarella sticks!
Almost everything was good. Wasn't in love with the tater tots but the Philly was juicy and well seasoned. The buffalo chicken chunks we're crispy and not too hot. I enjoyed the water here and my waitress was sweet and attentive. Interested in coming back when they have live entertainment.
Went here during my time in Atlanta. Was shown on Guy Fieri Diners Drive in and Dives and was a great experience. Food is incredible. Love the decor and staff were sooo friendly. It's not a place you'd find simply online and expect good quality food but don't judge a book by its cover. This place is amazing! Im not from the area and wouldn't have gone if it weren't recommended by the DDD show. GO check it out!
I had an enjoyable experience at the Highlander. It kinda reminded me of Grinder’s back in Kansas City with their atmosphere and their beer selection. The food was amazing and it came surprisingly fast to the table. While trivia night was fun, I didn’t stay till the end of the game because my tiredness from the pretrip jitters the night before visiting Atlanta caught up with me.

Great dive bar, with a trendy feel to it. If you've spent a bit of time in the Ansley mall/Midtown area, you've heard of this place. First off, pricing was so low, I thought the food not be as good. Boy was I wrong. I ordered the Mother Clucker with house chips. Probably the best chicken sandwich in Atlanta. (Prove me wrong). Beer selection wasn't that great but I enjoyed the local brews they have on tap. Great service, and decent crowd. I'd love to try the other items on the menu, so any suggestions for my next dish would be great.
Had good late night eats here, I ordered a pastrami reuben which was very good and my wife had smoked wings. We were both pleased with our food and the decoration of the place, although we did feel a bit out of place because the crowd is punk rock, but no problem at all. What I did not like was that you can smoke inside, us being non smokers it was not a pleasant sensation, and all our clothes and hair smelled like an ashtray when we got home.
The Highlander is a delicious pub/restaurant located off Monroe.
Pretty much anything you get here will be delicious. The burners, blue plate specials, chicken, chili, doesn't matter.
Today I got the Mother Clucker. A wonderful chicken sandwich with pickles, siracha, and cheddar cheese. Was not disappointed and will definitely get again.
Service is quick and friendly too
We only stopped in for a beer while waiting for our movie to start next door but the service was great! This is a classic dive, hole in the wall definitely worth visiting! We love the atmosphere and decor. We will have a meal next time as well!
Great spot near Piedmont Park to snag a bite to eat and a good adult beverage.
The jerk chili is phenomenal!
Great service with friendly staff.
Pastacheese sticks were a hit. Mother Clucker was a flop.....missing something...salad was good! Waitress was great!
The food was too good to snap a pic before I started inhaling it. GREAT late night spot. Kitchen stays open till close, too. I will definitely be back, many, many more times.
Found this place on Diners, Drive Inns & Dives! So we stopped by on vacation! Had a Salmon BLT! It was so tender perfectly cooked, bread was toasted just right! The local beer they had on tap called Scofflaw was one of the best IPA's I have ever had... And I live in Asheville NC, otherwise know as Beer City USA! As for the environment of the place it is a rock influenced that would be a great place to see live music.. The staff was friendly, personable, we had great conversation. All n All I just had a totally positive experience, will definitely be back!!!
I've been told about this place from a lot of friends so when i finally went downto ATL i had to check it out and it was awesome! The staff is so laid back and are super playful. I went to order another beer and the bar tender laughed and told me to finish mine off in a fun playful way. This place has 2 bar tops and even some arcade machines and is decked out in amazing art you can even purchase. This is a must see place in the ATL!
I was completely surprised by the local customer service I received at this small mom and pop type bar. What you get is completely different than what you would expect by the causal nature of the bar and the array of tattoos and piercings. Of course it's a fairly casual bar and restaurant but the food was awesome(I had the mother Clucker) and the staff was naturally amazing. Great for the fellas or large parties, I've been coming here on and off for years when they had the all you can eat crab legs etc. Highly recommend this place. Darby was really cool
Yes, the drinks are stiff. Started with Cuervo and ended up on another tequila. Had a great time. Needed a night out after this long time inside...right. Played Golden Tee... anyone remember that one? Always loved this place. The food is great also. Try the chicken pot pie or beef stroganoff.
Whoops! The original review I made here was for a different place 🤦🏻♂️😬😅 (I'm from out of town, got my restaurants mixed up) So sorry management, thanks for letting me know!!! Here's my LEGIT review of The Highlander haha:
Girlfriend and I loved it. The artwork on the walls is fascinating and most, if not all, are from local artists and for sale (almost bought one myself). Staff was super chill. We had a great time playing pool in the game room, they even have a cash-to-coin conversion machine so you can bring either one to play. I had a couple shots too, no complaints there either, great selection of all types of alcohol.
Wish I could remember the waiter's name because he was a super nice guy. Anyway, shout outs to him and the staff. Place was awesome.
