My favorite bar in ATL, which isn't saying much. Even when I came regularly we only went to maybe a dozen different bars, half of which are no longer in operation. This place is still here after+10yrs of me coming around. Gone...Read More

The samurai wings are fire. Food is excellent drinks prices cheap which are unheard of to be in midtown. Great vibe on sundays.

Great bar with a ton of properly sized pool tables. It’s 15 dollars an hour for a table and the bartender does a good job of checking up if you need drinks while you play. Also they sell fried green beers which was something I...Read More

Great place to shoot pool (although a little expensive, $15/hour, compared to the typical $1-1.50 games). They also have two dart boards and relatively nice darts to use. Great drinks and drink specials and friendly bar tenders. Great crowd. Highly recommend. 5 stars.

Great service, cold beer, and good food. I recommend trying the chicken sandwich or the fried green beans. Definitely brings in a diverse crowd which makes the vibes immaculate. Monday trivia is a good time (thanks Greg!) and the pool table selection is no joke.
