Moved to midtown during the World Series last year and being from Boston you can assume who I was on the side of. I had no family and no friends here having moved for work. I’m in midtown with no references, just a Sox jersey and a bunch of stuff to organize in my new place. I had to find a place to watch the games because Xfinity couldn’t hook my WiFi up for literally a week because of conflicting schedules. I went to Eleventh Street which is the first place IN ALL OF ATLANTA that I went into for a drink or food because it was the closest sports bar to me. I went for the very first game of the series wearing a Sox jersey and hat and sat at the bar. The RedSox gear typically gets me an ear full from any local fan base that I live around at the time but on the contrary the Sox were playing the dodgers (who beat the Braves to go to the series) so the people to my left and right, total strangers, were so fun and nice and cheered with me to just beat LA. I went for every game until I got my WiFi and it was exactly the place I needed to find. Sense then I’ve taken friends and family who have come to visit just to show it off. It makes me feel like I’m at home. It’s dark, wood interior, smoking is allowed, and sports are always on. Beers on tap and a full bar and the food is actually better than just drunken bar food. The staff is friendly and the people are relaxed and if that’s the kind of place you like to watch a game or grab a drink after work then this is will...
Read moreI’ve been coming here many times since moving to Atlanta 2 years ago, as I had found great wings after quite the search.
Service and treatment tonight within 30 seconds of walking in was abhorrent, by a Person who had served me many times but clearly had no recollection (fine whatever) and embarrassed me while i was looking for a seat. I moved a drink to next seat at bar because gentlemen sitting at bar said he thought it had been abandoned and server had indicated it was okay to move to that area. Server then said I was rude for moving the drink over “you can sit here or you can sit there but not here because there’s a beer here” and quite sarcastically then said “how can I help you sir?” I was really floored by the tone and tenor of a person I thought would at least recognize me from the many times I’ve visited this place, and not act as if I’d walked out of the hotel next door. I stood there for a second and decided to just leave. May not sound like a big deal but it is when it’s coming from your “go to” place. Sometimes it’s not what you say but how you say it. People in the service industry should know this.
I came here tonight to have a relaxing time after a rough day. Regretfully will not be back. Sickening because I loved their food (in moderation) and talked them up to all out of towners and locals. But too many good places in this city to have to put up with this kind of service even once. So disappointing. Will not be back and will steer...
Read moreOkay neighborhood bar, nothing wrong here, and nothing very special either. Best part for us is that they are open later than other area bars and restaurant, so we could eat at 10:45 PM upon arriving in Atlanta. Near several hotels. Small place, some call it a “dive” in the reviews here, to me too clean and nice to be a dive, sort of a “near USA dive” in my book. Wings were good and a fair price at $9.95 for 10 including blue cheese dressing and celery. Looks like no beer on draft, all cans, one point deducted for that, pubs have draft beer people! Server was nice, a tad forgetful, and yet fairly attentive given they were very busy. Scene: It’s noisy, lots of nice young people who have already lost their hearing and thus they don’t realize they are unnecessarily/ comically shouting at the person next to them, it’s free entertainment for other patrons and juicy to unavoidably hear their formerly private matters at max volume. Also fyi there was a super creepy or drunk or both guy staring at one unlucky woman at the bar for 15 minutes straight before she fled, point is that this bar has interesting scenes...
