Madhouse Sports Bar & Grill

The atmosphere of this restaurant was undeniably beautiful—warm, inviting, and aesthetically pleasing. Unfortunately, that was the highlight of my visit. The 45-minute wait time for food was far too long, especially considering the quality that followed. When the dishes finally arrived, they were overpriced and lacked proper seasoning, which made the experience even more disappointing. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this particular establishment. While the ambiance shows promise, the food and overall value simply do not live up to it.

I had so much fun, I didn't get enough pics! I've been wanting to try this place forever and we wanted a place for drinks and a good vibe. My husband and I randomly decided to come to Madhouse on a Tuesday evening right as they opened at 4pm. It was pretty empty maybe 4 or 5 other patrons. They had great happy hour specials but we didn't partake in them. We ordered wings and fries and buffalo chicken dip. Both were delicious! We also had hookah and the waitress was super patient with me choosing and answered all my questions to help me pick a flavor I would like. All the workers were super nice. I even asked for juice because our trash can drink was super strong and the bartender completely understood and gave me a cup of sweet & sour mix. I can't wait to try more of their drinks next time because they have several options! The music was amazing and the place is also pretty cute. They even had games you could take to the tables like, Jenga and "Couples" which is what we played. It was fun to answer "get to know you questions" while we ate and drank. I felt like the price ($130ish) was good for all the stuff we got!

Went on a Saturday afternoon and I had a great time. It wasn’t crowded when I arrived so my party and I were seated quickly. The decor is nice and has an intimate feel. Our waitress was super sweet and she helped us with the menu. For my cocktail I ordered the Dragon Berry Lemonade and it was everything. It was really good and flavorful. I really liked the popsicle addition. It made the drink more sweet as it melted. For my entree I ordered the Edible Taco Bowl with chicken. I made a great choice because it was delicious. I could tell that the food was made from scratch. The DJ was playing good music and the vibe was just right. All of the TVs were located in various spots so every seat had a great view of the games.

We had such a great time!! Watched some football, the bartender was nice enough to put our game on at the bar. The food was so good, I had the queso turkey burger. SMACKED!!! My friend and I shared a Trashcan, because we know our limits! Lol Very good!! The DJ stayed rocking, keeping the vibes going! Definitely will be going back! Went on Sunday afternoon, not crazy crowded

Never judge a book by its cover. Went to celebrate my sis birthday and if we rated the experience by the customer service then it was 3 strikes. Fortunately the drinks and food made up for how below par we were treated in the beginning! The drinks are creative and hit a home run. A tad bit pricey but you get your money’s worth. We ordered shrimp tacos, a burger, beef tacos, and buffalo chicken dip. No complaints on the food at all. The music, games for the tables, and multiple tv’s were perfect to watch football but keep in mind there is a 2 hour limit for seating. Overall, not a bad idea for dining and outside of the hostess being extremely rude we would return.

First time trying this place with friends after work. We were told the frozen machine had been broken for months, so we only ordered food. You can't go wrong with a burger, and I highly recommend you order one. Just make sure your fries are hot! I told my server the minute my food arrived to the table that the fries were not hot. She looked me dead in the face and said Huh? I repeated myself, and she left the table. Thinking she would return with fresh fries, she came back with napkins. I asked her if I could get another side, and she named greens, beans potatoes, and tomatoes but said no to onion rings, which accompany a burger. At this point, I chalked it up and asked for the bill. Wanted mgmt to know about my experience and inform their servers that customer service and satisfaction should be at the forefront when someone is asking for a reasonable request that can me met. Asking for hot food from the kitchen shouldn't be hard...

We sat at the bar and Nicole was our bartender. She was very attentive and the drinks (Lemon Drop) were on point. That was my first time going there and we will definitely be back. Make sure you ask for Nicole.

In my opinion, this place is a bit overrated and overpriced. For food, I had an order of shrimp tacos, for drinks, I had the Valentine’s special ‘Pop Off Sis’ and a mango-flavored ‘Garbage Can’. I did enjoy my drinks and the food was decent, however I realized that there’s plenty of bar/grills in the Atlanta area that offer the same food and drinks but for better vibes and prices. It’s also good to note this place is compacted, so keep that in mind if you’re visiting with bigger parties or during busier times. Other things to keep in mind: limited parking when busy, no refunds for drinks, you’ll be charged for a cup of water and there’s only one booth available (where’s there’s little to no room to even maneuver around, certainly not worth the extra $).

My best friend & I were looking to find food to eat nearby our hotel. Soon to realize this is a local spot for people in the area, we loved the vibe and atmosphere we experienced. The food was amazing and service was taking little bit longer than expected but that's okay because we had a plenty time on our plate to kill time and we interacted with people. We got Nachos, Trashcan drinks, and Buffalo chicken sandwich. All of them tasted great!

Don't know if it's because it was a Thursday night in Atlanta, National Margarita Day, or they are always a popular spot but wouldn't recommend unless you have hours to wait on a table. Stopped by Madhouse after arriving in Atlanta for dinner and it was jam packed. Parking is atrocious and what the hostess told us would be a 20-minute wait turned into about an hour and 15 minute wait. They say that they have a two-hour table limit but there were tables who received their checks while we were waiting that were still there by the time we left! We turned into hawks stalking their prey the way we were spread out across the restaurant looking for a table to open up. Once we finally got seated, they started karaoke, which was very entertaining. We ordered some drinks and I got the trashcan. While I felt something, I was expecting more from a drink that big. To eat, we all got the wings and they were GOOD. In Atlanta you can't sell wings if they're not and they didn't not disappoint. Worth the wait? I don't know but they definitely cured the rising hanger in the group. If I was to return, I would definitely do things differently next time now that I can see how they operate and know what I'm getting myself into.

Went there for a happy hour with my girls! Whew! What a time!! The food ehh. Very mundane but the drinks were amazing. We got the huge drinks it was great. Our server was so cool , I definitely had a great time. The inside is a small space, but every clean. Would highly recommend .

Would recommend the bar foods more than the entrees. It's a sports bar so that's to be expected. I got the fish and grits, wings, and omelette platter. My favorite was the fried fish and the wings so again, def recommend their apps/fried foods. I also got the blue trash can drink and a mojito. Drinks were great, service was good. Music was loud so if that's your brunch vibe you'll enjoy it. I'd def go back.

Pretty good bar on the south side. Not a lot a parking on a busy night but drinks are strong. A lot of couples and ladies hang out here on a good night.

I ordered a $17.00 dish but the waitress brought a $26 bill. I asked for a manager who tried to say the difference was taxes and gratuity. It still didn't add up. I paid $23 and will never return. By the way it took over 45mins to get my order.

Here is the thing, the service sucks but probably due to understaffing and inexperienced staff. The thursday before Memorial Day weekend there was ONE bartender for the entire place, and he seemed very green in experience. So wait for drinks were insane, but the drinks were good. The food was tasty, but again a long wait. The waitresses were pretty unfriendly and didnt seem to care, but I guess they were overwhelmed. I had an issue with my hookah and the manager came to speak to me and rectified everything. It just took over an hour, so again not bad outcome but terrible wait. Karaoke was entertaining to watch. If you're not in a rush and in a good mood, this is an ok choice. If you're starving and easily irritable - avoid.

No real issues .. my waitress was the bomb.. very attentive !!!!! I love it . One thing is the hookah wasn't the best ... it wasn't pulling as it should have. Overall I'll be back !!

It's not called madhouse for nothing, but it's definitely worth your time if you're looking for a good time. I do suggest early arrival because the place was packed and parking can be a challenge due to the size of the parking lot. The inside has a nice intimate setup and a decent floor if you and the gang are ready to cut up alittle. I came to celebrate a coworker, and we had a time despite the kitchen closing for like an hour. There were some good hookah flavors and an even better DJ that I wish I remembered his name, but this was a Friday night if that'll help you. The food was cool from the samples I took from my party, but the DJ really did his thing. ATL came to show out and all I remember was dollars being thrown as sis commenced to pop it and her friend trying to hold her skirt the size of a napkin down. I'll be back tho!

It was my birthday 10/19. I had fun on a Thursday night which was karaoke night. I had shrimps and grits with some brown gravy on it. Then the mango trash can drink and plus a had a few Don Julio shots. The food, drinks and vibe was good. Everybody was dancing. Definitely going again.

Table was very sticky and that's the only reason for the one star off. The food was pretty good and we really had a good time there. We ordered the spinach dip, buffalo dip, & chicken pasta. Everything was really good. They didn't have the ingredients to make a mojito which made me sad but overall pretty good.

The vibe in the place is nice. They service was just ok unfortunately When the first opened the drinks would put you on the floor but now they're a juice bar if you will. The food could also be better! I truly want to start using my background in recipe development to help rebrand restaurants! But.... The Music is going to slap every single time!

This was my first time. I've always been intimated to go because there is always a crowd. I understand now why it's so popular. They have great hospitality. The hostess was welcoming and even though I had several tables ahead of me, they went ahead and took my drink order and even offered for me to go ahead and get my hookah while I waited. I ultimately decided to sit at the bar while I waited and the bartender was a welcoming and gracious server as well. My food was taking a long time and she offered us some chips. This went a long way toward allowing us to enjoy the DJ and hookah and have a great time. I appreciate great hospitality! I do recommend improvements to the parking lot or offer valet parking. I had to park in the muddy lot next door and was warned my car might get stuck. Next time I'll just Uber but I do plan to go back.

We went to watch the Braves game and get some food (probably around 7 in the evening). They have huge tvs, which is great, but about 90% of them weren't working. And after about 10 minutes, a server came over to us to tell us the kitchen was closed.

I've been to Madhouse twice. The first time was on a weekend night with my friend. Was a decent amount of people there. I had got a Philly, it wasn't the best but it was still good nonetheless. The drinks were good as well. The second time I went was a weekend, there was a lot more people but not overcrowded. Both times I went the music and ambiance was great. The second time I went I order something to eat and waited about 20-30 mins for them to come out after everybody I was with already received there food to tell me they didn't have what I order. So that was disappointing but still over all I would recommend checking this place out.

Saw this place trending on socials and had to come check it out. I LOVED everything about this place the only thing I would change is that they need more space because the parking lot is small and the venue. We ordered hookah, food and drinks and they all came out at a reasonable time and delicious. Our server was amazing and very attentive and knowledgeable about everything we asked about. Loved the music playing everyone was singing and dancing along. Will DEFINITELY be coming back.

Great food great drinks very nice sports bar met some fellow military folks in there just a great neighborhood bar

This place is always a good time. Servers are always pleasant and Sam is the best at the bar. Food and drinks are delicious, My favorite is their tropical trash can (drink) !. Hookah is also good and at a great price.

The Mgr is very rude she harassed us all night. she needs to be fired the cook spent more time on the floor than making food people walked out left and right. half my party got there food other half never got there food. the sever was very sweet she was very apologetic for how the manager was treating us. They are very short staff. I love the vibe and been going there for a while this was my worst experience. The manger she is light skin don't no her name she did not care about people getting food just over pack the place soon as you paid rather you still drinking she telling you have to leave without finishing your drinks. she was very rude to numerous people. let her go yall will lose plenty of business.

This is a nice spot to come with friends and have a drink. The servers are usually pretty helpful but sometimes they get really busy. The food is ok. It's kinda hit and miss. When it's good it's good. When it's not it's not. There's no in between.

Sorry, but I was not impressed. Very disappointed lack of service, lack of decent food. The drinks were horrific. You can barely taste the alcohol as if they were skimming on it to make profit. Lack of attention to my group waiting about 45 minutes just to get a drink, and then the food took over an hour and a 1/2. I'm a professional businessman from out of town, and I wanna support our brothers and sisters, but I would never bring my professional business people here for meetings or gatherings. It would be an embarrassment. I don't know who gives these good reviews. Must be family members getting freebies and hooks ups. The dining area is extremely cold. Terrible technology, half the TVs, barely functioning. The music so d@m loud i can't hear myself think. Please tear it down and start over. And good luck!

Let me start with we had a great server!! It's only 2 servers for the whole restaurant. BUT!!! The manager is one of the worse managers I've seen in life! She sits on a thrown, dismisses any one that comes to speak with her about service given the servers are overwhelmed. Multiple people walked up to her including myself to ask about service. She did not even speak nor look at me. I'm not exaggerating. She shock her head and she looked around meanwhile while everyone else is over worked. She is taking shots!!! She needs to be fired immediately!!! DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PLACE TIL SHE IS FIRED!! Video of her framing shots included!!

Madhouse Sports Bar & Grill was a pleasant surprise on...Old National Highway!! It definitely exceeded my expectations on every level as this part of Atlanta doesn't have the best reputation for positivity, etc. I received amazing service from JoJo, who greeted me at the bar quickly and provided a menu. The overall vibe was VERY nice. Countless televisions were easily visible and the DJ played chill neosoul music as I waited for my food. JoJo served my hot Philly Cheese steak with fries in less than 15 minutes. The food tasted amazing and the portion size was on point. In closing, if you're near the Airport or Old National Highway, stop by Madhouse Bar & Grill for great food, service, and more!

had been wanting to go to this place for a while, so this past Saturday my sister and I went. She had been there before and said the wings were good. Well this must have been an off night. The service was slow, but the server was friendly enough. When our food finally came it did not look freshly cooked and it wasn't even hot or warm. Oh I forgot to mention they charge two dollars for a plastic cup of Tap water or 4 dollars for a bottle. We ordered a dragon fruit margarita, which we had to send back because it did not taste like a margarita or dragon fruit, so we ordered a regular margarita which was better, but definitely not worth the 19 dollars it cost us, and no it was not one of those large ones in the jar. We did not know it was 19 dollars until we got our bill. My sister and I ordered the exact same thing and her bill was a dollar less than mine. 8 wings that did not taste like the flavors we ordered, a margarita and a cup of tab water came to 43 dollars. Let just say for my first and last time at this establishment I was definitely disappointed. I will say there wasn't an empty table or seat at the bar, so obviously the people like it and don't mind getting hit over the head for moderately decent at best bar food and poorly crafted watered down over priced drinks. My lesson was learned.

Everything was sooo good. My favorite was the dry ranch wings and the trash can drinks were good too !

Service is slow. Waited an hour for chicken quesadillas and 30 minutes for a drink. Also came to watch the game and the big screens only had 2/4 tvs working.

This place is lit had a great time !!! How ever I don't recommend the shrimp and grits it taste great but the shrimp it so tiny any they only give you 5 shrimps lol the wing are bomb tho and drinks are strong DJ is fire 10out of 10 highly recommend

Loved the vibe, food and drinks. Music was good. I accidentally did take my 70 yr old mom (not know what kind of music they played), but she honestly did enjoy herself.

The DJ was awesome! My waitress was the best! However, the salmon was salty and Mac n cheese was extremely dry. The waitress explained that they weren't taking food back so I asked for him. He took my food back but explained that he would no longer send food to my table. That was upsetting to me. I've never heard of that before. I asked for my tickets and paid for my drinks and left.

I will give the this the drinks are bomb and outweigh the customer service for me! I mean it's old nat you can't expect much more in just saying and for the price and food options and times it's open late and hardly anything is still open so that was also a big plus! Lemon pepper mild because the hot is hot and no you can't take it back so be mindful can't wait to try the trash can punch drinks next time!

Great food, drinks, service, and atmosphere! I met up for a second date here and we both enjoyed Madhouse. I wish I could remember our amazing servers name because she had the best personality. I'll definitely be back!

Music and service are very good. They play good music. The honey lemon pepper wings and Ceasars side salad were delicious. Great vibe.

waited over an hour for my food and instead if coming to talk to me the manager chose to give me a dollar off of my meal and leave for the night smh

Service is not that great food was good but not worth a 2 hour wait and my appetizer was the hold up on the wait. I got me and my friend main course before the appetizers which was still being prepared to go after i already paid. I just left because i was tired of waiting.

Poor customer service my food was cold and they took forever to bring out my sisters food , our server seemed like she was using substances because of her ora, it was a natural happy you can tell she was using something because she got 3 times about our food and drinks . Also I find it crazy how you bring my food out and then bring out my sisters food 30 minutes later . The only good thing was the drinks, and no not there trash drink .

Someone invited me to meet them here on a Friday night for a happy hour. They get an extra star for their onion rings and the music that played while we were there. Its a sports bar, and while there wasn't a game playing while we were there, all the TVs were working and tuned into a sport show. Probably ESPN. I wasn't impressed with the Happy Hour margarita. The waitress told me several times that it wasn't pre-mixed, but all I could taste was the margarita mix. She assured me it was the sweet/sour mixture. Whatever it was, it was too much of it and I ended up ordering two shots. She was nice enough to give me the shots at the same price as the happy hour margaritas, but of the four people in our party that order the margaritas, we had the same complaint. It tasted like margarita mix with no liquor. I had the wings and the onion rings. Our table ended up ordering a second order of the onion rings since everyone enjoyed. Another person order the veggie wrap and sent it back. Now how to you get a veggie wrap wrong?? One person ordered the chicken alfredo pasta and it was large enough for two people to share. Not too much of crowd on Friday around 6pm, but we had a really good time over the music and food.

The music is too loud. It's a bar and grill and they have the music blasting like it's a night club. The building is not even that big to have the music at full blast. Please turn the music down. I won't even mention the parking.

Bar person not willing to be responsive to customer needs...popsicle drinks not made correctly...paying for a drink you are not getting.

Super friendly staff, good music, good food, good beer, welcoming to outsiders. Armed security, Huge TV's everywhere. It's a party in Atlanta.

Sat down with just 6 other people inside and they ignored us. We were the only white people inside. Just post "no whites" on the door to save us the trouble next time.

My husband and I go sometimes for date nights when we want some good wings and drinks. We are older so we get out earlier, like after work . Love the specials they have and the music isn't all rap (thank goodness) sports on the TV and the customer service has been great keep up the good work and we'll keep coming back

The food took nearly 3 hours to come out. The drinks were weak and sub par. The one star is only for our server who was doing her best with little to no help. Don't come here hungry. Literally, the entire restaurant was without food for 3 hours. Do better.

Great place. The people, the DJ, and the food was good enough for a second round. Real mellow and adultish. I have to go again to get a better feel. But my first time was great.

They have horrible customer service, and they had us waiting for an hour to receive our food and drinks! I would definitely not recommend this restaurant/bar!!!

I loved the decor of this sports bar.They also had a live DJ, which I enjoyed.The service could have been better it took 30 minutes to get a menu and almost an hour to receive our food. I asked for a few things that were on the menu but they didn't have it. I will try this place again because of the atmosphere and hopefully better service

I attended this place last night for my dear friends birthday & the service was horrendous , as soon as we walked in & sat down we were never greeted or acknowledged. literally no waitress or waiter attempted to assist us , we had to get up & go to the bar to order our drinks & food , the only person who approached us & took an order was the hookah girl. the table we sat at was filthy & had the previous people who sat there trash all over it , once again no waiter or waitress even attempted to clean it up, it got to the point where the bartender had to come over & help remove the trash. the restrooms was disgusting & smelled bad there was toilet paper all over the trash can & floor. Not only that , one of the waitresses put their hands on & pushed the birthday girl not once but twice & the craziest part about it is the " manager" seen the whole thing & did nothing but come up to the bday girl & tell her " i see you have a party of 10 people don't start a fight" when his employee was the one who put her hands on the bday girl ! the waitress also took it upon herself to tell one of the security guards that her & her fellow coworkers wanted to fight once they got off work & when i went to talk to the "manager " about what was going on he acted oblivious to everything & stood there & lied to my face , he was very rude & did nothing to accommodate for his employees actions. once i seen how the "manager" went about the situation my girls & i left. we felt very unsafe & uncomfortable & we'll never step foot in this horrible establishment again. very very unprofessional & hostile , they don't even deserve 1 star 0/10 i do not recommend.

Hidden gems..when you come across one, you salute it. I want to give a shout out to the server Kai. If any of the management reads this review, job well done. Customer service at it's finest. Now that is out of the way, Madhouse Sports Bar & Grill is right on Old Nat. The venue itself is small yet cozy. The prior rewiews with the pictures doesn't do it justice.and even my bad for not taking more pictures...will do next time. There is a security check at the door and when you first walk in, there is a circular couch with baseball bats above in the middle surrounded by the screens. To the left is a reserved booth. Around the perimeter going clockwise is lounge type seating. Also when you first walk in directly to the wall straight ahead two huge projector monitors. To the right is a four quad tv screen behind the bar The food was pretty good. Could had been better. Had the players platter where you can choose any three items (onion rings, chicken tenders, mozarella sticks, etc), for about $12. They have a variety of items like seafood, burgers, salads, steak. Very versatile The crowd was laid back. Many establishments on Old Nat be turned up, lit, but this was more laid back..kinda like it that way esp when it comes to watching sports Prices were more than reasonable. The liquor options was phenomenal. You must try the madhouse trash can. Probably a top 5 drink in all of Atlanta. The only knock is the limited parking. It wasnt packed to the rim ..however parking is scarce. Not sure how they would address it when there is more huge sporting events. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger In Terminator 2..... I'll be back. Grade: A

This place was very chill and I enjoyed my food. The steak was cooked just like I asked. Everything was seasoned well especially the mash potatoes. The hookah flavors were on point. And I did try this drink called 'The Dirty Bird' and I was tipsy.

It's a lounge bar/sports bar with nice colors and plenty of TV's I guess no pictures not sure why ok , I was tired and full and in the rush to use restroom after 20 minute drive . $20 on entry everyone was cute, but we rolled up like we just left the gym but cute regardless. Ordered apple crown straight and sipped. Nice music played people swayed bounced thru out the place . Overall nice spot but parking is non-existent , parked at carwash and walked over grassy knoll. Crowd age looked 25 and up some young some old but it's a chill spot. But was told they had good food, but we had already eaten and just went for a drink or two

Okay so I visited this establishment on a late Monday evening with friends. We had a party of 10 after a meeting ... 6 arrived together and the other group of 4 arrived later. We were able to sit next to each other without a haste being that it was a Monday, they had a small crowd not a huge one. They closed at midnight we got there roughly around 10 ish. The waitress who's name i forgot was sweet. Everyone got their food immediately .. except me . But that was the kitchens daily and not hers . They only had wings at the time we visited but I'm assuming That was due to the time we arrived. I got the trash can drink. I thought it wasn't strong but it's actually one of those sneaky kind of drinks. The hookahs are only $20, however we only had 1 coal so if you're looking for a harsher pull or more clouds , ask for two coals. They had signs saying they have happy hour 4-6 during the week. The music was good and it was a nice vibe. I would recommend visiting ; nice little bar on old National. Didn't experience any riff raf. I can say they do ID . And there parking lot is fairly small-- however they own the lot next door at the car wash so you can park there and not worry about getting towed.
