Awful management and food is incredibly basic but what do you expect from a wanna-be chain with no real identity. Founded by an Armenian couple with 5 locations in Atlanta (wait for it, trying to plow 5 more of this manufactured nothing special into our metro soon) and sold in September 2025 to a hidden buyer and now managed by a Chicago management firm, it's no surprise this place has no idea what it is. Go to Mellow, BarTaco, or Meehans nearby, all better than this joke of a location run by a manager who wears club shirts with the literal design from the board game Twister, rocks a soul patch and spiky hair, and has the nerve to tell people he runs a "Family Establishment" if your caught cheering too loud at sports for a team some patrons don't like. This is "Not a sports bar". It's a "Family Establishment" I was literally told (no sweating or offensive or loud comments made other than standard cheering for your team). Guess he doesn't know his own restaurants slogan is "Neighborhood Tavern". To help him out "Tavern" is defined as an establishment for the sale of beer and other drinks to be consumed on the premises, sometimes also serving food; a bar or pub." So next time the manager tells people who are sitting at the bar watching two giant televisions with the biggest Saturday games on this "Isn't a sports bar it's a family establishment", he should look up his own branding and literal name. Moron. Place is a joke, do better, Atlanta has SO much better to offer and the only people I'd expect frequent this are in walking distance not wanting to leave Vinings and must love Armenian inspired/Chicago managed /Out-of-state owned "Neighboorhood Taverns". No reason in the world to go unless you're stuck in this neighborhood, Meehans is too far, and you're not feeling pizza or tacos but have a mean hankering for mediocre bar fare. They did put up pretty shiny new walls and interior with the sale and new northern management though, maybe the pretty new wood walls and interior make the overpriced fare and awful service more bearable? At least you'll be able to see all the new work that's causing the high prices because it won't be the food, lol.
