We culled numerous reviews from our friends at Yelp, Google and TripAdvisor. This is what we came up with. Here are the best Atlanta sports bars to watch the NCAA tournament.

STATS Brewpub

The U Bar

 

3515 Camp Creek Pkwy #50-70, East Point, GA 30344, (404) 349-2301

The premiere sports bar at Camp Creek, the U Bar features cool music, wings specials in a club environment that is packed on the weekends.

One Google reviewer says: “Pretty lit. Moreso a place to socialize, eat and watch games. Music was good . You can dance but Its not a club. Hoped this helped. Oh and 10 for women 20 for me. I heard they have good wings.”

Popular party spot with sports, DJs & dancing, with drink specials & a full menu for dining.

 

The Tavern

 

3560 Camp Creek Pkwy, Atlanta, GA 30344, (404) 349-9285

The Tavern, known as Camp Creek’s OTHER sports bar, bhas events almost every weekday night, including karaoke, drink specials and more.

One Google reviewer says: “The lemon pepper and hot mixed wings are AMAZING. I also enjoy their karaoke nights which are live and many patrons participate so it makes me feel okay because I can’t sing to save my life. I’d definitely recommend checking them out on Wednesday night and enjoy the atmosphere.”

Hudson Grille

 

942 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309, (404) 892-0892

Hudson Grille has three locations in Atlanta, one downtown, one in Midtown and the other one in Brookhaven. Huge TV screens at every turn and good food make this one of the best Atlanta sports bars to enjoy the game.

One Google reviewer says: “Food is always great along with service and overall atmosphere. I personally come here frequently during football season because it is home to Raven Nation South, located in the upstairs area of the bar. I love the sports atmosphere that Hudson Grill provides.”

Yard House

Topgolf caters not to the golf fan so much, but the sports fan. With flat-screen TVs at every station, you can swing clubs or sit back and enjoy your game when you want it. Inside at the bar, you can see multiple screens from several vantage points while you eat and drink.

One Google reviewer says: “This is a really fun place for all age groups. If golf is not your thing, they also offer table tennis or ping pong upstairs and pool tables downstairs. The putting area is spacious. Of course it is outdoors, but they offer large heat lamps directly over the seating area. There are two levels to the seating area. The first is a high bar with chairs. The second is a u-shaped outdoor sofa with a center table. All food and drink orders can be placed from your bay. For each game, each player gets 20 chances to “put the ball in the hole”. You can take all 20 swings in a row or rotate players as you’d like. If you aren’t interested in playing any of the game options, you can also dine in or have a round at the bar. Enjoy!”

Taco Mac

 

933 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309, (678) 904-7211

With eight locations in Atlanta, including in Midtown on Peachtree and in Dunwoody, Taco Mac is a sports fan’s favorite place to watch the NFL playoffs, the Hawks or any sports event. Featuring the most expansive beer menu of any Atlanta sports bar, Taco Mac is the perfect place to enjoy a craft beer, malt, ale or IPA with your buffalo wings.

One Google reviewer says: “Fast and delicious food. Live music on Friday night. Very personable servers. Really great fajitas. They are very open to accommodate changes to menu. One of my favorite places to eat.”

Last Words

The good thing about Atlanta is different sports bars are aligned with different teams. (Don’t go to Copeland’s on South Cobb Drive unless you’re an LSU/Saints fan).

Party Like It’s 1960s at Phipps Plaza

“We’re proud to celebrate 55 years since opening Atlanta’s first enclosed multi-level shopping center in 1969,” Lindsey Jones, Area Director of Marketing, Lenox Square & Phipps Plaza, said in a written statement. “The evolution and transformation of the property since then is truly exciting. Today, Phipps Plaza is recognized as the number one luxury shopping, dining, and modern mixed-use destination in the Southeast. We are grateful to our community, staff, and retailers for their steadfast support over the years and invite everyone to join our fun-filled anniversary party on March 30th.”

When Did Phipps Plaza Open?

Phipps Plaza opened in 1969 and was named after its developer, John W. Phipps. It originally featured a mix of upscale shops and restaurants, including high-end department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor.

Over the years, Phipps Plaza underwent several renovations and expansions to keep up with the changing retail landscape and demands of its clientele. In the 1990s, the mall added a movie theater and expanded its retail space. In 2006, a major renovation added new upscale retailers, a luxury hotel, and condominiums, further solidifying its position as a premier shopping destination in Atlanta.

Today, Phipps Plaza continues to be a popular shopping destination, known for its high-end retailers, luxury boutiques, and fine dining options. It remains a landmark in Atlanta’s Buckhead district and a symbol of upscale shopping in the city.

The political drama that has gone on for more than a month in a Fulton County courtroom has culminated in a surprise ruling: Judge Scott McAfee issued his ruling early on Friday, March 15, 2024, in which he said that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis can remain on the case to prosecute former President Donald Trump for alleged election interference. But there’s a caveat: Her cohort, special prosecutor Nathan Wade must leave the case.

The ruling comes after tense debate among political pundits over the fate of Willis, who admitted to a romantic relationship with the attorney she hired to help prosecute Trump and 19 co-defendants.

In his ruling, McAfee said that “no disqualification of a constitutional officer is necessary when a less drastic and sufficiently remedial option is available.”

He then presented two options: “Either the District Attorney may choose to step aside, along with the whole of her office or Wade can withdraw.”

Update: Wade has chosen to step aside from the case.

As for Wade, he and Willis were grilled by the defense over what has been called an “illicit affair.” Under oath, the two admitted to having a personal relationship, which the defense jumped on to show alleged improprieties.

Critics have countered that with the judge allowing Willis to proceed, it taints the case against Trump and adds an air of subversion.

Final Word

Earlier in the week, McAfee dismissed some counts against Trump in the election interference case.

Willis has inferred that she has had to do her job amid intense pressure on her personal life.

Speaking to a church in January, Willis said that she is far from perfect.
““You cannot expect black women to be perfect. We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. We are all sinners,” she said.

“We need your prayers, We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. With that type of support, we will move mountains and do Jesus’s will — stumbling all of the way!”

We’ll see how the hearing unfolds, but it’s no doubt that Republicans will celebrate if Willis is taken down and Democrats will breathe a sigh of relief if she is found to stay.

Last fall, she wrote a scathing letter to GOP Rep. Jim Jordan in response to his attacks.

It’s International Women’s Month, which means it’s the perfect time to showcase how Atlanta’s best movers and shakers are women at the top of their games.

Summer Jackson-Cole

Why do you love what you do and what inspired you to do it?
As a Journalist, I’ve learned that everyone has a story! I love what I do because I get to use my creativity to share those stories, provide information to the community and witness historical moments up close. I was inspired to work in communications when I won my first district-wide speech contest at 8-years-old. At that moment, I realized the power of using your voice! When my high school classmates voted me as “Most Likely to Host a Talk Show,” I knew that my future would include lights, camera and action!

Finally, What’s your favorite thing about Atlanta?
May I pick two things?  Favorite thing about Atlanta #1: The synergy within the creative community.
Favorite thing about Atlanta #2: The Weather! As a Chicago Girl, I love experiencing all four seasons with milder winters here in the ATL!

Why do you love what you do and what inspired you to do it?

I run a rising media platform called FLURRY, which seeks to uplift and highlight POC voices in the creative community. We aim to be a safe space for underrepresented voices, to feel supported and beautiful, angry and sad, + every emotion in between. I was inspired by the talented creatives I started to come across the city of Atlanta.

Finally, What’s your favorite thing about Atlanta?

My favorite thing about Atlanta is the creative underground scene. Everyone is their own celebrity in Atlanta, and it is beautiful to see!

Ronnika A. McFall

Hometown: Biloxi, Mississippi
Occupation/gig: Communications and Media Relations Specialist

Why do you love what you do and what inspired you to do it?
My passion is very basic. My passion is to help someone else, but in my own special way. I help people through innovative campaigns, I help people by guiding them in their messaging and thoughts. I help people by listening and executing that thought.

I think we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to have it figured out. If your passion is not figured out, take a step back to notice what you like to do effortlessly. Take away the layers and look at the core thing you enjoy doing. If you like to help people, like me, figure out how you want to help them. I believe if you start there you can begin to develop your path towards success.

Finally, What’s your favorite thing about Atlanta?
The opportunities here. My journey started in Biloxi, Mississippi. I currently live in Atlanta with my husband of three years. I work as a communicator for the American Red Cross and I currently run my public relations agency part-time. I started my career in marketing and communications right out of college, and I noticed very early that Atlanta was a place full of networking and opportunities. I believe character is built in Atlanta. You learn who you really are, the good and the bad. I realized early in my career that personal branding was important, investing in myself was important, and treating my projects the way I would want my projects to be treated is important. My business grew because of word of mouth and because of that, the opportunities are endless.

Why do you love what you do and what inspired you to do it?

I love creating illustrations about hope and justice because I feel the need for both in the world today. With equity, empathy, and anti-racism taking center stage this past year, it’s become important for me to create art that uplifts these ideals while keeping hope and optimism at the center of it all. It’s helped me to process and express myself, while also creating resources and inspiration for others!

What’s your favorite thing about Atlanta?

My favorite thing about Atlanta would have to be the Beltline. It’s like it never ends- there’s always somewhere new to eat and somewhere different to bike!! I also love getting to grab juice from Lucky Lotus or a donut from Five Daughters Bakery at Ponce City Market.

Answering the interview questions correctly can be a difficult job. One bad answer can be the difference between a long and fruitful career and the unemployment line.

Because let’s face it: You’re going to earn that job and get hired because of your preparation you put into the interview phase.

Download this free resume template to kick off your job search successfully.

Best Job Interview Questions And Answers To Them

Here are the best job interview questions and answers to them:

1. Tell Us About Yourself

2. Where Do You See Yourself In 5 Years?

Interviewers often use this question to gauge whether you’re a long-term fit for the company. They will also see if you’re complacent where you are now.

Say Something like: “I see myself as a productive member of the management team in a role that specifically helps customers.”

3. Why Should We Hire You?

Employers often use the “why should we hire you” question to weed out narcissistic personalities. They also use it to see how confident you are. Strive for a balance rooted in demonstrable facts.

Say Something Like: “I certainly think that if you’re hiring for potential — someone that can increase your company’s bottom line immediately — I am the person for this job. Also, if you look at my history, as noted on my resume, I already have a strong background in what the department specializes in.”

5. Why Do You Want To Leave Your Current Job?

The “why are you leaving your job” question is a classic setup question to see if you will complain much about your employer. Don’t fall for it.

Say Something Like: “While I enjoyed the last three years at this company, I feel that it’s in my best interest to move on to greater challenges. I feel that this job would fulfill me in that way.”
