Amuse Atlanta

An all-day menu, global-fusion food, and a boho bar with all the charm of a Baz Luhrmann flick.

Fado Irish Pub Atlanta

Soccer screenings, two levels, and a patio bar overlooking Buckhead make the pub a St. Patty’s Day staple. All manner of pints and the requisite Euro/American bar bites (quesadillas, sliders, baguette sammies) for washing down with ’em.

El Tesoro Atlanta

A restored Decatur home (sunny front porch and all!) sets the scene for the casual Tex-Mex resto. Front-lawn furniture, an outdoor bar, and duck carnitas make it a neighborhood fave.

Pub 71 Atlanta

Patty melts and potato leek chowder are a wee bit UK, but the jukebox, burgers, and patio are all-American bar scene.

The Standard Atlanta

A bocce ball court, glassed-off patio, and bar bites from edamame to peri-peri chicken raise the bar at this casual watering hole.

Rosebud Atlanta

Chef Ron Eyester’s Southern-comfort fare makes you want to sit and stay a while. Rotating menu items depend on what’s in season and which tempting goods local purveyors truck up to the back door.

Tavern 99 Atlanta

Six cheesy burgers; 27 beers on tap; and a mondo, two-level patio. Sounds like quintessential drinking at this East Andrews watering hole, all right.
