This was my first time visiting from out of town and had the best experience! Eddy was our bartender and he was extremely kind, very knowledgeable, and efficient with a busy Friday night bar. Great drinks and great late night bites. The music was a phenomenal mix of early 2000’s and the vibes were perfect. Highly recommend if you’re in downtown Atlanta looking for a great time!

A true hidden gem right in the heart of Atlanta. I couldn’t believe it was my first time visiting, especially being born and raised in the A. It instantly earned a spot on my personal list of go-to places whenever I’m downtown.Alisha was exceptional—welcoming, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was perfect. Her service made the experience even more memorable. The food came out fresh and right on time, beautifully prepared and full of flavor. It’s rare to discover a place that feels both exciting and comforting at the same time, but this one nailed it. I’ll definitely be recommending it and coming back often.

Stopped by a Tuesday end of February. Lunch time was very busy. The atmosphere was fun and casual. I sat at the bar and ordered a plain cheese pizza. Service was spot on. Will visit when in town again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This bar completely saved our night and absolutely deserves a five-star review. We had originally gone somewhere else and were met with truly awful service, so we decided to leave and ended up here instead and what a difference. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and taken care of. Both bartenders were absolutely amazing. They were friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. Not only were the drinks expertly made, but the service was next-level. Engaging without being overbearing, quick without feeling rushed, and genuinely warm the entire time. It’s rare to find bartenders who can so effortlessly set the tone for the entire place, but these two did exactly that. The atmosphere was great, the energy was positive, and the overall experience reminded us what going out is *supposed* to feel like. After such a disappointing start to the evening elsewhere, this bar completely turned things around. We left in a great mood and already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for excellent drinks and even better service!

I can say after looking over the places that are walkable from the big hotels nearby, this is one of the most comfortable and laid back places you will find. It is a great place to grab a pint of beer but there are also some good food options. Had shepherds pie on the first visit and it was a solid choice with good flavor. Second night just came to have a reasonably priced beer and grabbed the cheese curds that were also good. Staff are attentive and helpful. All in all a well run establishment.

First off, the food was really good and seemed made fresh rather than sitting under a heat lamp. We got a pizza and the cheese curds. Both were outstanding. The Sam Adams seasonal Summer Ale was perfectly cold and served in the appropriate glass. Again loved the food. The service left a little bit to be desired as we were waiting for quite a while to order and when our food came we had to ask for silverware and plates a few times. It didn't seem that busy, but maybe it was just an off night. It wouldn't stop me from going back. I liked the vibe in this place.

Authentic Pizza & Amazing Cocktails We stopped in just for drinks and a small bite, and wow—the pizza was the best authentic pizza I’ve ever had. Ed was attentive, along with the other bartender (wish I’d gotten her name!). Ed recommended an orange drink that was incredible—I seriously wish I knew the ingredients so I could recreate it at home. Good vibes, good service, and unforgettable flavors.
