We came for sunday brunch and dungeons and dragons with the Atl Dungeons and Dragons group. The place is very cool, the patio is gorgeous. Our server was attentive even with 50 of us at 8 or 10 tables. I had chili cheese fries that were delicious. The beer was cold, and we ate looking forward to coming back soon! Thanks for having the group there, it was a super fun afternoon.
The trivia is fun, but not particularly engaging. The beer selection is good, if a bit small. People in my party (not I) got the burgers and the pizza and said both are phenomenal.
Best bar in Atlanta. Been here multiple times and have had nothing but the best service from the staff each, and every, time. Walking Dead viewing parties are always the best here too on Sundays. This bar also does A LOT of charity events and food drives. Nice to see a place give back to the community.
Great service and great food in a relaxed dive-bar setting. This is the perfect fit if you're looking for some burgers and beers without any pretense in the Highlands. As a full-on dive bar, it is a smoking establishment, so don't go in expecting this place to be something its not.
In reference to the review below describing an altercation with the bouncer, as a witness to the event, I can promise that is completely exaggerated. The staff handled themselves in a professional manner and were very patient.
I moved to Atlanta a year ago and Diesel is the only bar I found that I immediately fell in love with. The staff, the regulars... they're all so welcoming. Great food, great people, always a good time. If you're someone looking for a great local dive bar, a place to watch sports, a place to play trivia, or even just a beer and a burger-- you'll love this bar.
The burgers were good and well thought of how the ingredients were put together. Good beer selection. Not much seating, since it was an old gas station, but the patio was great. People watched on North Highland Ave and had a good time. More food than I could eat, the burger was big and a plate full of real potato cut fries.
Its a great place for food and art! You'll love, tip them all your money
Tried Diesel on a Saturday afternoon after a long bike ride. The service was excellent! Best I've had in a long time. Our waiter steered us to choices with informed advice rather than 'it's good.' we loved the crispy dill crunch of the fried pickles. The coating was crispy, light, and perfectly seasoned with salt. I would definitely come again.
Great bar. Staff so friendly and nice. Other barflies also super friendly and informative to those not from the area (like me) I could easily see this being a local favorite place to grab a drink, wish I could move it back East as a fun little watering hole
Great neighborhood bar with quality food and drink specials. There's always something going on here, whether it's trivia, Auburn football watch parties, or Denver Broncos games. Try sitting out on the patio and enjoying people watching!
