Where is the Best After-Work Bar in Atlanta, Georgia?
If you’ve got friends in low places, then this is the place for you. The feel of ‘Five-Paces’ is definitely that of a hole-in-the-wall dive bar and the crowd will remind you of a 1990 UGA fraternity party aged appropriately for 2002. But overall, it’s a great place. The bartenders are the best in town and if you take the time to get to know some of the locals, you just might have made a friend for life.Pros + relaxed, funCons – smokey, crowded
Manuel’s Tavern has been an ATLANTA tradition for so many years you cannot count them. The Burgers are exceptional and the Political Insight is intriguing. Most of the Intown Politicos are THERE! We don’t get to Manuel’s Tavern very often but any time we can schedule a visit, we do. The tradition and the “old Atlanta” feelings are incredible. Try Manuel’s Tavern just once and you will get a feel of what makes Atlanta politics work. Insight to what makes ATLANTA the GREAT CITY that it is.. GREAT BAR and meeting place.Pros + GREAT ATMOSPHERE…. More than just a BAR!
We have to call Fado’s an establishment, because it is much more than just an another Irish Pub. It has became one of the mainstay’s in the changing Buckhead Village. Singles are welcomed, families with children, or just anyone wanting a warm feeling of Ireland. All the best Irish/British Ales are on tap, as well as terrific bottle selection. Have a black/white ale. And then order the best Fish ‘N Chips, you will ever put in your mouth. The Irish Stew, is something to write home about also. Drop in for a unique Sunday Brunch. The rumor is, a second location is coming to Atlantic Station. We are waiting, until then, on to the Buckhead Village. Service is tops.Pros + Atlanta’s Top Irish Establishment! Irish Stew! Right-On Service!Cons – Parking Can Be Tight!
We love this place. The Best part of the experience was to get seated by the huge garage window. Open Air…Great…The worst part was they were out of Lamb tenderloin which we had several times before and actually that was why we were there for this time. I decided to go for Lam burger and my wife had Tenderloin Kebob. They both were absolutely amazing. We were offered small salad for 2.29 and we had Turkish and Caprice Salad. Turkish salad was great and I did not care for the Caprice Salad but my wife loved it. There is great wine list and Martini list but we went for their Guava and Mango Mojito. The server said that they make the syrup in the house and they were quite nice. Everyone around us seemed to enjoy their experience as well. One thing about this place is it is very intimate and you get to talk to other people. Very neighborhood kind of feeling. Well ,the service was also exceptional. We eat out a lot and we lived in Greece for nine years experiencing Mediterranean cuisin
I went there for brunch two weeks ago and it was fabulous – huge buffet with yummy, fresh food (both cold and hot options) and attentive chef service. One of the best brunches in Atlanta by far for the food. However, service was definitely mediocre and our brunch took twice as long because the waitress was not attentive. The wait was a big surprise as she only had to serve us drinks, and for much of the time we were her only table. So go if you have time to spare!Pros + Great food, nice space & locationCons – Bad service
