Map My Location
Five Paces Inn
41 Irby Ave NW Atlanta, GA 30305
(404) 365-0777
This has been a popular Buckhead hang-out for many years and believe it or not they recently put some money into the place by adding on. The addition is complete which has made it slightly easier to "troll" around and get a drink. It is always packed on the weekends with drunks of all ages. Hours of Operation: Mon-Tue 2pm-12am; Wed-Sat 2pm-3am
Tin Lizzy's
3639 Piedmont Rd NE Atlanta, GA 30305
(404) 846-6000
This is quickly becoming one of the most popular drinking destinations in the Buckhead area. It's a small bar, but not run-down and old like most other "dive" bars and the food is better than you would expect. You will not be disappointed in the crowd either since it is a very popular Florida State hangout. Sun-Thu 11:30am-10pm (For Food) Fri-Sat 11:30am-11pm (For Food) Bar is open daily until 2am
Red Door
3180 Roswell Rd Atlanta, GA 30305
(404) 846-6525
The place actually has a red door in the front to avoid any confusion that you have found your destination. It's a small venue that has a small outdoor deck and begs the question "Does size really matter". The consensus here is NO. Hours of Operation: Mon-Thu 4pm-12am; Fri 4pm-3am; Sat 12pm-3am
Star Community Bar
437 Moreland Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30307
(404) 681-9018
This place is the ultimate Atlanta dive bar, located in the Little Five Points area. The interior of the Star Bar looks like its been there for ages, its cheap drinks, live music and crazy yet friendly clientele just add to its dive bar charm. Tuesday nights with DJ Romeo Cologne are legendary for a great night of funk, dancing and a little debauchery. With live music Thursday, Friday and Saturdays ranging from local bluesy-indie rock to country punk your sure to hear something different to make for an interesting night. Hours of Operation: Mon-Sat: 5pm - Close
Northside Tavern
1058 Howell Mill Rd NW Atlanta, GA 30318
(404) 874-8745
Live music (mainly Blues), pool tables, cold-beer, and a laid back crowd makes this place a lock for one of the best dive bars in town. It's over 40 years old so the walls have a few stories to tell. Hours of Operation: Mon-Sat: 11:30AM - 2:30AM Sun: 12:30PM - 12:00AM
Atkins Park Virgina Highlands
794 N Highland Ave Atlanta, GA 30306
404-876-7249
Open Mon-Sat 11:00am - 3:00am and Sun 11:00am - 12:00am. Also check out the Smyrna location.
Tin Lizzy (Grant Park)
412 Memorial Dr Atlanta, GA 30312
404-554-8220
The new Tin Lizzy's Taqueria and Cantina near Grant Park has friendly bartenders, premium tequilas and affordable "non-traditional southwest" eats are what this locally-established neighborhood restaurant and bar is best known for. The second location just opened (January 2009) in Grant Park in the old Six Feet Under space. The bar’s signature drinks include the Tin Lizzy’s $4 Signature Margarita and the “Dizzy Lizzy.” The bar features 30 different premium tequilas, including Jose Cuervo, Herradura, Patron and Don Julio, so be careful which friends (ahem, the shot pushers) you invite along. Tin Lizzy's makes their guacamole from scratch all day and serves up tasty fried fish and buffalo chicken tacos. This casual spot sits across from Oakland Cemetery and will boast arguably the best patio in the city once the weather warms up. They serve food until 11pm nightly and they keep the doors open until midnight on Sunday... in case you feel like having a "sneaky" one.
Flip Flops
1140 Crescent Ave Atlanta, GA 30309
(678) 705-8555
located in the heart of Midtown. It resides in a 2 story old southern house on Crescent Ave, next to South City Kitchen and directly across the street from Opera Nightclub. Flip Flops brings the beach to you with a frozen daiquiri bar of 9 flavors on tap, similar to Margaritaville, Fat Tuesdays and Wet Willies. The beach theme includes tiki huts, palm trees and a great outdoor patio. Flip Flops Atlanta is a Margaritaville-style bar in Midtown Atlanta. $3 rum shots and $5 Red Stripe Tall Boys. Full Bar- Frozen Daiquiri Bar Live Music & Dance Floor Great Outdoor Patio & Deck Hours: Wed-Sat 5pm-2am
Moe's & Joe's
1033 N Highland Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30306
(404) 873-6090
Moe's and Joe's is a great dive bar in the Highlands (Virginia Highlands) that tends to attract lots of recent college grads and other cheap beer lovers in their early-mid 20s...and why not, they have Pabst Blue Ribbon on tap! Hours of Operation: Monday-Saturday 11 am to 2 am; Sunday 11:30 am to 12 Midnight
Kramer's
3167 Roswell Rd Atlanta, GA 30308
(404) 869-0522
Honestly, Kramer's really sucks, but every once in a while a good time can be had there. Atlanta is a city full of beautiful people (beautiful women at least) and class, and Kramer's is like the bad frat house from Revenge of the Nerds with lots of Omega Mu's grazing around, spilt beer all over the floor and packs of roid-ragers way past their prime...large packs at that...in a city full of bars with hot girls. There is really no point in ever going to Kramer's, but if you do, please wear good shoes because you never know when a fight will break out.
