The menu changed recently. It seems to have kept the best around (buffalo-jerk wings ) and added a lot of different options for sliders , which you can mix & match. The only downside is no more tacos !

Creative Loafing Atlanta

This neighborhood bar and restaurant is popular with college students , hipsters , and yes, locals. Above-average bar food and cozy patio make this a strong draw.

CAYRUM

Try Cayrum , its a dark rum aged 3 years and then infused with all natural ginger and honey . Its great as a chilled shot, on the rocks, ginger ale/beer, juices or Red Bull . Theres nothing like it! Read more

Some of the best wings I’ve ever had! Get the Korean/Buffalo and Bbq/sundried sauce+rub combos. Can split 10 wings for 5 of each!

Annalise Carmack

Outdoor seating , boiled peanuts , good draft beer selection and friendly servers that don't make you feel rushed.

The open mic comedy was medoicre. A fairly unremarkable bar . An alright place to drink alone.

Dirty bird ....pure heavenly delight. My friend tried his with pork , we call it a ' dirty pig ' and it was equally as delicious!
