Fado Irish Pub

933 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309, (404) 260-7910

Fado Irish Pub is place to be to watch the game and down a Guinness pint at the same time. The Midtown location as well as one at The Shops at Buckhead.

300 Marietta St NW, Atlanta, GA 30313, (404) 885-1472

The go-to sports bar in downtown Atlanta, STATS is a short walk from the Omni, CNN Center and College Football Hall of Fame. Inside the brewpub, customers can try their hand at tabletop beer taps and exquisite food with screens all around to watch the NFL playoffs.

One Google reviewer says: “This place was incredible! Service was excellent, food was amazing! There were so many delicious looking things on the menu that my waitress had to help me out with a recommendation. I’m glad I listened to her, the BBQ Brisket Burger was out of this world. The fries were really good too. And then she talked me into getting the key lime pie, it was every bit as good as everything else was. I will definitely go back whenever I’m in Atlanta again.”

Hooters in Downtown Atlanta

209 Peachtree St. NE Atlanta, Ga 30303

Located in the heart of downtown Atlanta, Hooters is especially designed for big sports games. Because of its high-profile location, this downtown Atlanta Hooters regularly gets Atlanta fans as well as that of the opposing teams.

El Super Pan at The Battery

455 Legends Place, Atlanta, GA 30339

El Super Pan at The Battery is the perfect place to enjoy some Cuban-inspired dishes while watching your #1 sports team.

Here’s why one Google reviewer says it’s the best sports bar in Atlanta: “The flavor in each dish, AMAZING! The agua tropical is refreshing and they always have a different variety based upon the season. Try them all! The decor is vibrant and the music uplifts your spirit. The staff here are awesome and Chef Hector is very engaging. He usually makes great recommendations in case you find yourself unsure of what to order. This restaurant is def my fav!”

Dugan’s Restaurant

777 Ponce De Leon A++ve NE, Atlanta, GA 30306

Dugan’s has been a reliable go-to spot in Midtown Atlanta about as long as its nearby neighbor, the Clermont Lounge. Lively entertainment, a constant dancefloor and all the chicken wings and beer you could want make this place a great sports bar.

Here’s why this is one of the best sports bars in Atlanta: “Great dive bar complete with sassy bartender, interesting cast of characters at the bar and great wings. The wings have subtle differences from traditional wing sauces like Anchor Bar sauce. The drinks are poured strong. Their wings are better than their tenders. (They have a tendency to overcook). It’s a great respite for lunch compared to the chaos of Ponce City Market.”

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, has 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

261 19th St NW #1100, Atlanta, GA (404) 815-8990

Thanks to an awesome Midtown location (there’s another one at The Battery next to SunTrust Park) and above-average beverage program, Yard House at Atlantic Station has a devoted following among sports fans. The stylish sports bar’s patio is a great people-watching spot and the burgers, steaks and tacos on the menu make this place a must-visit to watch the NFL playoffs.

One Google reviewer explains why this is one of the best sports bars in Atlanta: “Happening place with excellent food! You just can’t go wrong with Yard House. We visit Atlanta every year at Christmas time, and Yard House has become a family tradition. The menu is extensive and everything we’ve tried has been delicious! They have an excellent Happy Hour … that includes a HUGE selection of 1/2 price appetizers. I think we have literally ordered everything on the happy hour menu! You can’t beat the price!”

Topgolf

1600 Ellsworth Industrial Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318, (404) 475-4000

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.

Here’s why one Google reviewer says this is one of the best sports bars in Atlanta:: “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 NBA playoffs 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.”

Final Word

The Falcons have once again fielded a championship-level team capable of running through the NFC. Although Mercedes-Benz Stadium is nice and all, you’re more interested in the best bars to watch Falcons football in Atlanta.

If that’s the case, we hope you liked our roundup of some great watering holes as well as bars, taverns and food halls where you can watch the Atlanta Falcons rip through the likes of the New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots.

CJ Johnson October 2, 2026

October in Atlanta is the month the food calendar actually feels like fall: neighborhood tastings, live-fire cook-offs, barbecue and peach, and one last big Grand Tasting before the holidays. September’s headliner, the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival, has already wrapped. What’s left is cheaper, more local, and spread across the metro. Confirm tickets and venues before you go — outdoor plans have already shifted once this month.

Whether you’re craving unlimited tastings, themed brunches, or weekend prep dinners, this month offers a feast for every palate and a good many food deals. We’ve rounded up some highlights—grab your tickets before they’re gone!

Early October highlights:

Latin Restaurant Weeks Atlanta
Friday, October 2 through Friday, October 16.
Specials at Latinx-owned restaurants, food trucks, and culinary businesses across the metro. Menus are posted at latinrestaurantweeks.com. A good two-week stretch if you want sit-down plates instead of a festival line.

Friday–Sunday, October 2–4, 10 a.m.–5 p.m., 85 Centennial Olympic Park Dr. NW, Suite 100.

Four courses (roasted tomato and stracciatella bruschetta, watermelon feta salad, hanger steak with salsa rojo and elote, lavender honey crème brûlée) with guided wine pairings. A quieter first-weekend option than the festivals.

Porches & Pies
Saturday, October 3 at Monday Night Garage, Lee + White, 933 Lee St. SW.

Fly Seafood Market Hosts Grand Opening in Atlanta

CJ Johnson September 20, 2026

3 Min Read
Fly Seafood Market just celebrated a lively grand opening in Atlanta, and the team is already thanking the crowd that showed up.

That spot is the original Fly Seafood location, the one that built a following by serving oversized Cajun- and Creole-style seafood boils out of an Exxon gas station.

Fly Seafood Market Grand Opening: What To Know

The formula is simple and loud: snow crab clusters, shrimp, lobster tails, turkey necks, mussels, salmon, and more, typically piled with corn, potatoes, broccoli, garlic egg, butter, and the house “crack” seasoning.

Noodles are a popular add-on. Signature plates include the 3K Plate (snow crab, lobster tail, and half-pound of shrimp) and the turkey neck plate.

The grand-opening energy fits the brand. Hot 107.9 promoted the event with live DJ sets, first-10-eat-free and next-10-get-30%-off deals, and a call for people to pull up for crab boils. Comments on the reel were full of congratulations, pride, and requests for more locations—especially closer to McDonough. Regulars already call out the turkey necks as some of the best in the city.

Fly Seafood is no longer a one-stop operation. Besides the Atlanta gas-station original, there are locations in Kennesaw (465 Ernest W. Barrett Parkway NW) and Decatur (4845 Flat Shoals Parkway). Hours vary by store; the Atlanta spot is commonly listed around 11 a.m. or 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, with later hours some nights at the other locations. Takeout and delivery are available through platforms like Toast and DoorDash.

Where Is Fly Seafood?

The restaurant is located at 1152 Michael Langford Drive (also given as 1152 Pryor Road SW), Atlanta, GA 30315.

The appeal is the combination of generous portions, heavy seasoning, and an unexpected setting. People drive in from other states for the plates; locals treat it as a destination even though it sits inside or beside a gas station. The new-opening reel is less a formal announcement than a victory lap: the crowd came, the hosts showed up, and the team is already talking about the next chapter.

If you’re heading over, go for a loaded plate, expect a line on busy days, and order in person if you want the full experience. The address is 1152 Pryor Road SW / Michael Langford Drive, Atlanta. Check current hours before you go.

Atlanta has a thriving cultural, food, sports and music scene, with venues like the Tabernacle and the Fox Theatre hosting concerts and shows throughout the year. The city is also home to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the Atlanta Opera, offering world-class performances for music lovers.

Atlanta has a lot of cool things to do and places to eat, including some of the top soul food joints and remarkable Thai food spots. Explore the city.

We didn’t arrive until around 1:30pm, but were still able to easily find 11lbs of the most fragrant and delicious strawberries. My partner was cutting up a dozen in the kitchen and you could smell them in the living room! The best time to go is right when they open, the earlier the better to get the biggest, best berries we were told. We also picked up a bunch of veggies in the farmer’s market there that were very reasonable. The staff was very personable, helpful and doing a good job with social distancing guidelines. We highly recommend Adams Farms.”

B.J. Reece Orchards

However, we were very disappointed in the lack of precautions for COVID that we’re taken inside their store. There was signage on the outside to wear masks inside, but the inside was crammed with people and only 50% of those people had masks on. No one was enforcing masks or social distancing.

There is also a little market that has some refreshments, as well as a wide variety of ciders for sale. I got some great tomatoes for $1.09 that’s good in my world. If you have a better tomato hook up please share!”

13 Cool Restaurants To Eat In Atlanta Right Now

CJ Johnson August 16, 2026

7 Min Read
You’re a really cool person and you deserve a cool restaurant in Atlanta. Many spots here invest as much in atmosphere, design, and vibe as they do in the food—think rotating views, taxidermy goats, intimate dessert dens, rooftop skylines, and spaces that feel like destinations.

A lot of Atlanta restaurants are investing in decor and atmosphere to supplement what’s on your plate. If you’re hungry, an intimate setting can make or break a culinary experience.

13 Cool Places To Eat In Atlanta Right Now

So we’re about to show you some cool places to eat in Atlanta this year. These spots are not all new, but many of them have added a few wrinkles since you’ve last been there. Besides, they’re cool.

1. Polaris

265 Peachtree St, Atlanta, GA 30303 | (404) 460-6425

Polaris is probably one of the coolest restaurants you’ll find in Atlanta from a cosmetic perspective. Hidden inside the Hyatt Regency, Polaris literally rotates — not unlike the Sun Dial four miles away in downtown Atlanta.

Here’s what one reviewer says about Polaris: “The food and the staff made this meal a wonderful experience. Add on the atmosphere and views as Polaris spins, and I have to recommend everyone try it at least once. Weekdays are typically easier to be seated and allow the staff to provide even better personal service.”

2. Restaurant 356

One Porsche Dr, Atlanta, GA 30354 | (770) 290-4356

Restaurant 356 is an upscale restaurant located at the Porsche headquarters in Hapeville.

Here’s what one reviewer says about Restaurant 356: “The food here was awesome! I had the scallops and tagliatelle which was phenomenal. My colleagues had chicken and waffles and schnitzel and spaetzle which they reported was also fantastic. Service was great.”

3. Los Cuatro Milpas Atlanta

7056 GA-85 Suite C, Riverdale, GA 30274 | (770) 883-7734

Los Cuatro Milpas Atlanta is about 20 minutes outside Atlanta, but it’s well worth the ride!

4. South City Kitchen

1144 Crescent Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30309 | (404) 873-7358

South City Kitchen’s menu is one of the most celebrated in the Southeast. And it’s relatively close to a MARTA Station.

Here’s what one reviewer says about South City Kitchen: “Picked this place for out of town co-workers who wanted a “southern experience”. Everyone LOVED it. Couldn’t stop talking about the amazing food. Manning and staff took really good care of us. I even got a “high-five” for recommending 🙂 A classic and modern Atlanta experience all-in-one.”

5. Avize

956 Brady Ave NW, Atlanta, GA 30318

West Midtown’s modern Alpine standout is a must-visit. Chef Karl Gorline’s seasonal menu draws from Swiss/Austrian/French/German mountain traditions with Southern touches—standouts include lemon-pepper wet frog legs and inventive plates. The room features a taxidermied white mountain goat, open kitchen energy, and a soundtrack that keeps it from feeling stuffy. High-end but approachable cool.

Check out the best hot chicken joints in Atlanta.

6. Madeira Park

640 N. Highland Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30306 | (404) 228-2058

Photo credit: Madeira Park

One of Buckhead’s best-kept secrets opened in August 2018 in Phipps Plaza. Grand Lux Cafe is from the same people that brought us the Cheesecake Factory.

Poncey-Highland wine bar from the Miller Union team (Steven Satterfield and partners). Excellent small plates, rare/reserve wines by the half-glass (a smart way to try special bottles), and a cozy, high-energy neighborhood vibe with wood accents and a vintage map. Perfect for sharing, lingering, and discovering something new by the glass.

7. 9 Mile Station

675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE Atlanta, Georgia 30308 | (770) 999-1532

Entrepreneur Kelvin Slater and wife Mandy have a hit on their hands with 9 Mile Station. Described as an “elevated beer garden,” 9 Mile Station is located on the rooftop of Ponce City Market in Midtown Atlanta.

8. New South Kitchen

100 CNN Center Atlanta, Georgia 30303 | (404) 659-0000

New South Kitchen is one of the best upscale restaurants in Atlanta. Because it is primarily located primarily in a business district, many families don’t know about the daily buffets and gourmet desserts.

If you’re in the mood for a hidden gem with an open kitchen, come to the Omni Hotel’s New South Kitchen.

Here’s what one reviewer says about New South Kitchen. “Good breakfast buffet, but very expensive. Enjoyed my breakfast with a nice variety of good breakfast foods. The service and environment were very nice. Everything was great until I got my $30 bill! Probably will go somewhere else next time just based off the cost even though it was convenient and good.”

9. Bar ANA

939 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30306 (basement of El Ponce) | (470) 763-9626

Bar Ana is a new Atlanta restaurant from James Beard-nominated pastry chef Claudia Martínez’s intimate 21+ late-night dessert and cocktail bar. Afro-Latin-Caribbean influences, artfully plated seasonal sweets that feel like modern art, and creative cocktails in a stylish, cozy courtyard-inspired space. Daytime coffee via Recuerdos; nights are the main event for industry-edgy but warm vibes. A true “last bite, best bite” destination.

10. Two Urban Licks

820 Ralph McGill Blvd NE, Atlanta, GA 30306 | (404) 522-4622

Two Urban Licks is one of those places that hometown natives tell you about, but they can’t do it justice. This place has ambiance by the pound! And the menu is great.

Here’s what one reviewer says about Two Urban Licks: “The atmosphere alone is enough to make you come back for more. The salmon chips were incredible, I could’ve had a double order and been satisfied. The Brisket was perfectly charred and an enormous portion and the Scallops with Grits were absolutely delicious.”

11. Superica

99 Krog St NE, Atlanta, GA 30307 | (678) 791-1310

3850 Roswell Rd NE #100, Atlanta, GA 30342 | (678) 705-1235

Superica’s two locations are hard to be when it comes to upscale Tex-Mex, eclectic selections and creative drinks.

Here’s what one reviewer says about Superica: “Great Mexican cuisine. Very attentive staff and fairly priced. Nice ambiance and very good bar area. Portions are generous. It gets super busy so go early or be ready to wait..a while..”

12. Bar-bacoa

1000 Virginia Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30306 | (404) 815-9155

Atlanta’s Virginia-Highland area has a new restaurant for tapas, tacos and Tequila: Bar-bacoa. This new Atlanta restaurant features Caribbean and Latin American-inspired cuisine. See more details.

13. Mi Barrio Mexican Restaurant

571 Memorial Dr SE, Atlanta, GA 30312 | (404) 223-9279

Here’s what a reviewer says about Mi Barrio’s tacos. “Already loved Mi Barrio, but this weekend catered them for a party. Worked with Lisa. She was upfront and fair with pricing. When I arrived to pick up my food everyone helped me out to the car, the food was INCREDIBLY fresh and tasty and the portions were SO GENEROUS. Needless to it’s Wednesday, I’ve given away quite a bit of leftovers and I’m still happily eating tacos.”

Final Word

Opening a new restaurant in Atlanta is not for the weak-hearted. Still, scores of eateries continue to debut each year in Georgia’s largest city.

There are some cool places to eat in Atlanta. And the reason is because there are good restaurants in each quadrant of the city: East, West, North, South.

All you need to do is think about what you have a taste for. Italian? Soul food? Tex-Mex? Atlanta has it all.

Docent Coffee

381 Edgewood Ave SE Atlanta, GA 30312

Here’s what one coffee lover says about Docent Coffee: “BEST COFFEE IN ATLANTA! I was having to cut down on morning coffee (because no matter how I made it, it would upset my stomach) but then I was given docent coffee and I haven’t looked back since. Been a huge fan since the beginning. These guys KNOW what they are doing. Also their pastries are yum! Aaand they have a lovely patio.”

Java Saga

3300 Marjan Dr Atlanta, GA 30340

One reviewer of this local food truck said: ““Java Saga is an Atlanta-based food truck specializing in coffee, tea, and smoothies. They also sell “big ole chicken.” These guys opened in 2016. I discovered them at a wedding.”

Ebrik Coffee Room
- Emory: 571 South Kilgo Cir NE, Atlanta, GA 30322
- 22 Park Pl SE, Atlanta, GA 30303 (Temporarily Closed)
One reviewer said: “What a beautiful coffee shop in the heart of ATL downtown! It is large and chic and has beautiful art work throughout the entire building!”

Hodgepodge Coffeehouse

720 Moreland Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30316 | (404) 622-8525

Here’s what one reviewer says about Hodgepodge Coffeehouse: “Really good coffee and service. I’ll be coming back more as I visit and once the indoor seating is open. Also really good Jamaican patties.”

Moonbird Coffee

5394 Peachtree Rd 2nd floor, Chamblee, GA 30341

Hours: Monday-Saturday, 8-11 a.m.

One reviewer said: “Holy s***, this place is good. Honestly one of the best cups of coffee I’ve had in Georgia, and I’ve been to a number of coffee shops here. Got their mocha latte, and oh man, was it delicious. The espresso shots were smooth AF, and the chocolate taste was not cloyingly sweet in any way. Price was about $5, which I found reasonable enough.”

Press and Grind

992 North Highland Avenue Northeast, Atlanta, GA 30306

One reviewer said: “P&G is a great spot. I think of it as an upscale coffee shop in terms of look and cleanliness, but much more down to earth, in terms of service and price. It’s has a great location (Virginia-Highland).”

Black Coffee ATL

131 Walker St SW STE 106, Atlanta, GA 30313 | (404) 565-1397

Here’s what one customer says about Black Coffee ATL: “BEST coffee ever! Got an Almond milk latte with vanilla syrup. Highly recommend.”

Read Shop

4300 Paces Ferry Rd SE Suite 125, Atlanta, GA 30339

One reviewer said: “The only place for coffee where I used to like was Starbucks. Unfortunately in my opinion, I think it tastes like acid; I love the coffee here. I’m so glad I could find a small” place that sells good coffee!

Brash Coffee

0516, 1168 Howell Mill Rd, Atlanta, GA 30318

One reviewer said: ““Finally, I don’t have to drive to Midtown for my Brash Coffee! A Chattanooga native and a Midtown shipping container upgrade, Brash Coffee’s Buckhead location is a major move in the right direction.”

Joe’s East Atlanta Coffee Shop

510 Flat Shoals Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30316

One reviewer said: ““A one of a kind is the best kind. If you’ve come here once you’ve most likely been back 100 times and that’s just the way it is at Joes. You feel like family from your 1st time.”

Golden Drops Café

1788 Clairmont Rd, Decatur, GA 30033

One reviewer said: “We stopped in for coffee after a movie. The place was already closed but the owner saw us drive around and waived us in. He let us know the machine was still on. How nice!”

JavaVino

579 North Highland Avenue Northeast, Atlanta, GA 30307

One reviewer said: “This review is for their rental space (wine lounge only this time).
Five stars for service, staff, and all around good vibes! As the matron of honor, I am in charge of all anti-bridezilla measures, including the Bridal Shower Brunch.”

Muchacho

904 Memorial Dr SE, Atlanta, GA 30316

One reviewer said of this Reynoldstown spot: “You’re doing yourself a massive disservice if you haven’t checked out Muchacho in Atlanta. For the love of all things wonderful, they specialize in specialty roasted coffee and tacos. SOLD! I’m not sure if this place was a former railroad station back in the day, but it’s got some crazy cool vibes that can brighten anyone’s day.”

Java Lords Coffee House

1105 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30307

One reviewer said: “This is the coffee house attached to 7 Stages Theater, and the atmosphere is, well, theatrical. The barista who served me an iced latte was a hoot to talk to, offering up suggestions and one-liners at the same time. I sat on what was obviously once church pews and started up at numerous playbills and community flyers. Overall, it was a cool experience.”

Dancing Goats Coffee Bar

3167 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30305

Hours: Mon-Fri: 6:30AM to 7PM | Sat-Sun: 7AM to 7PM

One reviewer said: :Had a delicious cold latte with almond milk and sat outside on the swing. It’s so tranquil and hip in the porch area with the barrel fountain water bubbling. The bread and granola looked amazing and they have such CUTE mugs for sale! Would definitely go again and sit a little longer for the experience.”

Chattahoochee Coffee Company
- 2281 Akers Mill Rd SE, Atlanta, GA 30339
- 790 Huff Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318
- 6255 River View Road, Smyrna, GA 30126
A reviewer said: “Being by the river here felt like you were far away from the greater Atlanta area. There is nice green space behind the shop and a short trail a long the river. Perfect spot to relax with your drink.”

Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee
- 84 Peachtree St NW, Atlanta, GA 30303
- 525 North Avenue NE STE 507, Atlanta, GA 30308
- 715 Peachtree St NE Suite 101, Atlanta, GA 30308
A reviewer said: “Medium size coffee was only 10 oz. Staff didn’t know prices until they rang it up. Understaffed and Slow… One toaster oven that they use was always full. Our sandwich was still cold when given to us. Turkey sandwich sold for later was soggy and had been in the box a while. Croissants are huge but have way too much butter in them. One customer complained his $5 drink after he drank it was cold and they told him they’d fix it next time.”

Aurora Coffee

468 Moreland Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30307

Via Instagram

A reviewer said: “I absolutely adore the names of the coffee drinks, such as The Polar Bear. There is a large selection of tea drinks, both hot and cold to satisfy any taste. And the artwork on the walls adds to the coffeehouse atmosphere.”

Taproom Coffee & Beer

R106, 1963 Hosea L Williams Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30317

Hours: Mon-Fri 6:30am-7pm, Sat 7:30am-7pm, Sun 7:30am-2pm

One reviewer said: “Good coffee from start to finish. I was unsatisfied by a coffee I ordered from Joe’s in East Atlanta Village and wanted something really good. … Everything is on point save for my Cortado being more Cappuccino sized. I don’t think most people will really complain too much about that. They also have Tea, Beer, and Wine.”

Spiller Park Coffee
- Ponce City Market: 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30308
- Toco Hill Shopping Center: 2929 North Druid Hills Road Northeast, Atlanta, GA 30329
One reviewer said: ” I’m not a coffee drinker. I drink tea. Most coffee shops get tea wrong. Some more wrong than others. The best I have found was okay, before Spiller Park. Tea shops really don’t get tea that well. So, when I go get, I normally just get a basic black breakfast tea. I’ve tried the whole menu of teas at Spiller Park. They are all good. I’ll work my way back through the menu again.”

Drip Coffee Shop
- 601 N Central Ave, Hapeville, GA 30354 (Temporarily Closed)
- 928 Garrett St., Atlanta, Ga. 30316
A reviewer said: “Very good coffee shop; love that it’s the same premium coffee roaster that Dancing Goats uses!!! I always stop in when in the Glenwood Park area. My daughter (13 yrs) had the Vanilla flavored frappe and loved it.”

TanBrown Coffee

This Asian-American owned spot is a great place to get some authentic blends and more.

Urban Grind Coffee

962 Marietta St NW, Atlanta, GA 30318

Here’s what one customer says about Urban Grind Coffee: “I have been an “UrbanGrinder” for the past 3 years. This eclectic coffee shop is just the spot to get work done. I would recommend if you’re looking for an eclectic vibe to get work done. It’s not too loud which I appreciate. I can even phone calls inside without yelling or being overpowered by the cappuccino machine. The customer service has always been great and I love that the owner comes in and actively engages with the customers and front desk staff. Don’t forget to try the banana nut muffin! Thank you Juliana, Kyle and Jalen <3.”
