Elbow Room

"The usual Buckhead glitz is glaringly absent from The Elbow Room’s bright red booths and tacky copper tiling on the walls. But the kitchen is open until 3am, the food is stellar, and the quirks are endearing, so we kind of love it here. Their general pub and pizzeria menu is extensive, but the surprise hit is the all-beef foot-long hot dog. Cover in any of the near-20 topping options—we're fans of the fried egg and fried onion straws. Or hell, go for more. You're already eating a foot-long dog anyway, so why bother with the Emily Post modesty now?" - juli horsford, demarco williams

"With a kitchen that stays open until 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday, this no-frills establishment caters to a late-night crowd. The menu is sprawling: Visitors will find everything from the trademark pizza and calzones to salads, sandwiches and a burger crafted with a combo of brisket and chuck. An ideal spot for whiskey drinkers, Elbow Room pours single malts, Irish whiskey and Southern mash." - Denise K. James, Eater Staff

"When we need a giant slice of pizza with a side of sports, The Elbow Room is our spot. And since it’s open until 2am most nights, this Buckhead sports bar and pizzeria is one of our favorite late night haunts. At $3, their dependably good slices are easy on our pockets. And they have plenty of topping options, which range from pineapple to banana pepper. We don’t even mind the tacky copper tiled walls since we’re usually focused on TV highlights from the day’s games. And if we’re ever with a group of non-pizza lovers (we don’t actually know these people), The Elbow Room’s giant menu of calzones, burgers, and a foot-long hot dog has enough for those haters to explore. " - nina reeder, juli horsford

"Open Until: 2am, Mon.-Sat. No one is trying to spend precious brain energy at 1am trying to figure out how to park in The Elbow Room’s one-way, steep uphill parking lot—instead, use the street parking or just rideshare there. Inside, the usual Buckhead glitz is glaringly absent from the bright red booths and tacky copper tiling on the walls. But the kitchen is open until 2am, the food is stellar, and the quirks are endearing, so we kind of love it here. Their menu is extensive, but the pizza and stromboli stuffed with four different meats are crowd favorites. When we swerve on the red sauce foods, we order bar bites like the foot-long hot dog and add such toppings as a fried egg or fried onion straws. " - juli horsford, nina reeder
