The 10 Best Late Night Restaurants In Atlanta - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Open Until: 4am, Sun.-Thurs. | 24 hours, Fri.-Sat. Metro Diner is downtown, smack dab in the middle of the hotel district, so there’s a weird mix of locals and out-of-towners at this diner and bar. Step inside and you’ll instantly be reminded of Kusama’s infinity mirrors. Neon lights bounce off the mirrored walls, and if you’ve had a few, you could envision an extra staircase where there isn’t one—but we aren’t speaking from experience or anything. Sit on the upper level to order impossibly fluffy pancakes (easily the best thing on the menu) or an extra-cheesy Metro melt and heckle the folks singing karaoke out on the dance floor. In the wee hours on the weekends, it gets pretty packed and the DJ makes sure to keep the party pace ramped up with eclectic mixes." - juli horsford, nina reeder

Solid Experience & Great Service I enjoyed the food—nothing really stood out, but everything tasted the way it was supposed to. The waitress was kind and attentive, which made the experience even better. The fries were delicious, and the portion sizes were generous. I also appreciated the nice seating view. Overall, a solid and satisfying meal!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 If I could give Metro Diner 100 stars, I would. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Let me set the stage: it’s a hot Saturday afternoon in downtown Atlanta. We’re in the middle of a 100-person MARTA bar crawl (yes, you read that right — one hundred people), and Metro Diner is our next stop. Only one problem: we showed up completely unannounced around 1 p.m., and the bar area wasn’t open yet. Most places would’ve politely turned us away. Not Metro Diner. The owner — an absolute legend — literally ran downstairs, saw us turning to leave, and stopped us in our tracks. “Don’t go anywhere. We’ll open for you.” Within minutes, he had rallied a team, got bartenders behind the bar, and personally opened up the space for our massive group like it was no big deal. That kind of hospitality? You don’t see it anymore. Not in 2025. Not anywhere. The drinks? Delicious. Strong. Exactly what you want on a bar crawl. The bartenders? Absolute gems. Friendly, fast, and fun. The vibe? Immaculate. You step inside and it’s like a time machine back to a golden era of Atlanta nightlife. Huge space, glowing with vintage charm. The second I walked in I thought, how have I stayed away so long? It’s got that iconic “Atlanta staple” feel you can’t fake — it just is. I’ve been here before for a night out (yes, karaoke nights are elite) and now I’m counting the days until I’m back. This place isn’t just a bar. It’s a community landmark, a sanctuary for good times and even better people. I cannot recommend Metro Diner enough. If you want true Southern hospitality, a damn good drink, and a vibe that makes you feel like you’re part of Atlanta history — this is your spot. Period. End of story.

Crowded and very loud! But absolutely was worth the time spent going here late night during FWA. Ended up getting a Reuben with fries while here and absolutely enjoyed the food. My group also ended up enjoying the food as well. But it was definitely worth the trip and vibe! Service was understandably a bit slow due to the typically crowded place but they did try to keep with the tables. They accept tap to pay as well, thank you for being wonderful despite my blunder of forgetting my card and letting me use my phone for tap to pay!

My wife and I went for Breakfast, the service was great, our waitress was from Columbia and although there was a moment she didn’t remember we were her table her she was still very attentive and a great waitress. The food was delicious but could have been a tad more flavorful hence the 4 stars out of 5. When we went for breakfast downstairs was closed which was unexpected but didn’t take away from much. (In our case my left had a leg brace which made it really had for us initially however on the way down the waitress showed us to the elevator, which was nice however, if there was someone (maybe a hostess) downstairs to great us we could have take it both us and down vs her struggling to get up the stairs. The hostess booth is located mid way up the stairs but there is no one there, instead the waitress will wave you up the stairs to seat you instead. The food didn’t take too long to come out. Also to note no matter the size of the party gratuity is included. No complaints there but keep it in mind as it is on the menu but if you don’t read it they will still provide the receipt and allow you to add additional gratuity so if you are not paying attention you will pay the initial %18 percent and whatever additional percentage you decent to add. We also had drinks while here. (Alcoholic) I can say the drinks were great but they are a bit pricey. You will pay the same for a mixed drink as you would pay at a club or lounge but it won’t be premium alcohols either. Nevertheless, we would go back just not often.

For early morning breakfast or late night dinner, Metro doesn’t disappoint!! Great atmosphere, great service, and the food was exceptionally delicious! Karaoke entertainment is an added bonus! Truly one to try when in Atlanta.

After my third bite of the French Toast, I noticed a weird pungent after taste so I looked down and realized that it was mold. At first sight it blended in with the powdered sugar, but when I leaned in I could see the green and white mold. I showed the server and she went to get the manager. I showed the manager and he offered to remake it but I declined, as my appetite was gone, so he took my plate. Nothing else was discussed but several minutes later, the server brought a ticket to pay for the cup of coffee. I explained to her that I wasn't going to pay for coffee either considering I just ate moldy French Toast from the same kitchen. Surprisingly she seemed annoyed and just grabbed the ticket and walked off. 🤔 So, at this point I'm perturbed because how in thee hell do you serve a customer moldy food and think I trust ANYTHING coming out that kitchen. Mind you, I chewed and swallowed it because I didn't see it until the pungent aftertaste. We got up to leave and then I saw the manager on my way out so I walked to him and let him know about the coffee ticket and that I wasn't paying for it and said he would take care of it. I let him know that the server already took it back. The handling of this was just so peculiar that I had to share my experience.

Good atmosphere and my bartenders were great but the food leaves a bit to be desired. Chicken fingers are cafeteria quality. But other than that I had a great time.

Portions are definitely shareable. It's definitely worth the money we spent. Our waitress was super nice and attentive. The only thing we could say is that they are light on seasoning certain things. Salt and pepper fixed that.

My friend and I were in Atlanta for a few days and we literally came here for dinner two nights in a row. He's British and really wanted to experience American diner culture and this is probably about as close as you can get in downtown Atlanta. They have a vast menu and plenty to choose from. One night I had the Caesar salad and the other night I had one of the chicken wraps. Everything was pretty good diner fair. When I say pretty good I mean for a diner it was good but definitely diner food. So nothing too special but mostly consistent. Ambience is very '80s or 90s looking and you can tell it hasn't changed much since then. Some good views out the window of Peachtree Center Avenue. Service was always quick and easy. Staff was friendly but always in a hurry. Overall what else can I say except everything here was consistent and tasted good enough and prices were pretty good for downtown. You get what you get and that gives it five stars in my point of view!

This Dinner is awesome so needless to say when im in town always make sure to visit this gem. If you have a concert or any other special occasion let me tell you a little secret. Metro Dinner Bar period. After a night of shenanigans come and enjoy delicious food with Atlanta flare and let the crowds to go away before you head back to your accommodations with full belly and memories for a lifetime specially with big performers like Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Madonna, Janet Jackson. You can thank me later. :) Here is the 411 a few steps from The Westin, The Ritz Carlton or Ellis Hotel my got to places to stay visiting Hotlanta. Metro Diner & Bar is located in the downtown hotel district at 229 Peachtree Street NW, Suite B-17. It serves both locals and visitors. The restaurant has a unique setup with a traditional diner on the upper floor and a karaoke bar with a dance floor on the lower level. It's open extended hours, from 6 am to 4 am on most days, and even later on weekends. Reviews highlight the vibrant atmosphere, especially during karaoke nights and with the upbeat DJ and dance floor. The menu features classic diner fare, including breakfast dishes, burgers, wraps, and sandwiches, alongside appetizers like Cheese Stix and Nachos. They also have lunch and dinner favorites such as Fried Chicken & Waffles, BBQ ribs, and Metro Shrimp & Grits. While some describe the food quality as average, many praise the good service and the overall fun experience, especially for late-night dining and drinks. The bar offers a wide selection of drinks, with some reviewers describing the cocktails as "solid" or "tasty". However, some have noted that the drinks can be small for the price. The establishment has been praised for its fast service and friendly staff. One reviewer specifically mentioned the amazing service received from a bartender named Evan. In summary, the Metro Diner & Bar in downtown Atlanta is a lively spot known for its diner food, full bar, and karaoke entertainment, making it a popular choice for both dining and a fun night out. The pancakes are delicious so don't forget to order them.

Solid spot. I was in town for a conference and came here for breakfast. It was pretty empty so I was seated right away. Ordered pretty quickly and got my food just as fast. Food was solid. I like their hash browns and eggs were cooked perfectly. I'm sure this place can get loud and rowdy when it fills up. Check it out.

This may have been a better experience if we were doing karaoke. We instead came for food and drinks because they were open and many places close early in downtown ATL. The food was barely over fast food. The mozzarella sticks were no where near as good as sonic. The buffalo chicken sand-which was ok but definitely nothing to write home about. It was very loud which again i get if your main purpose is going to do karaoke. The service was ok. Everything was kinda sticky. Just not a huge fan but props for being open late.

Meh. Dirty, grimy. Food was hit and miss! I say that because my food was a mess and my dining partner's food was a hit. I ate her food more than my own! How can one mess up a BLT? Sigh. I ended up eating my partner's pesto chicken sandwich. She had a huge salad and a chicken sandwich, which was really good. My food was awful. I didn't eat it. Service was fair, even though the place was busy. Our server was bubbly, friendly and did a decent job, although she saw that I didn't touch my food and had zero comments about it. I also didn't complain about it because I didn't feel like bothering with it a second time after sending it back because it was the wrong food order to begin with. We were there for a conference and a bunch of people ended up here from our conference because it was close proximity to our hotel. I overheard people from our group complaining before we even ordered. That should've been my sign to get up and go someplace else. I will definitely not eat here again nor will I recommend it.

I'll give this a confusing 3 star rating. Why? Because I'm really not sure how to describe or feel about this place. I only came here once. It was 1130pm at night. I got in late from a flight in and it was in walking distance from my hotel and the kitchen was open. I walked in on a Monday night and the place was lit. I came and thought it was a club the way people were lit on a Monday night. Dance floor had everyone on it dancing. It was karaoke night and everyone was having the time of their lives. The lighting is low lit. The main lights were off and the place was illuminated with blue and purple lights. You walk up the stairs to get to the seating area / to order to go. The place is sneakingly bigger than it appears. The seating opens up and it resembles any other diner seating. Just a bit more cooler with the lights and ambiance. Took my food to go. Got wings and a Buffalo chicken sandwich. The sandwich was decent. The wings were seasoned real well. But probably a little bit too much salt. I realized at that time of the day this was as best as it was going to get. Price was meh. For it being where the restaurant was in terms of location. It wasn't bad. I walked here but Atlanta traffic is notoriously bad. I didn't see any private parking so you'll have to find street parking or park in the nearby parking garage

Stopped at Metro Diner & Bar to grab breakfast one morning after visiting the nearby Atlanta Passport Agency. The breakfast of scrambled eggs with cheese, paired with pancakes and turkey sausage was freshly made and tasty. i was also able to order a hot chocolate with whipped cream that was great. Reagan, the server was pleasant, attentive, and helpful. It was typical diner fare for breakfast, but i appreciated that all of the elements were made with care. The only downside is that i noticed the restaurant could use a deep clean. i make it a personal practice to only go to restaurants that have good health code ratings, and thankfully Metro Diner & Bar's recent standing show no violations. However, the floors didn't look very clean, and there was noticeable grime on the windows. They could pay a bit more attention to making the dining room a bit brighter as well. It's clear that this restaurant has been around a long time - it may be time for some deep cleaning and a general refresh/sprucing up. Overall, however, a decent place for a good breakfast!

I was a conference and went to Metro for breakfast one morning. I would say it's a little overprices for what it is, but the portions are HUGE. There was no way I was going to finish everything. I had eggs, bacon, potatoes, and toast. Everything was flavorful. The service was good. My server checked back on my several times. Here's my concern. I had recently had some knee pain and had to climb stairs to get to the restaurant (I know first world problems). Then, I had to climb more stairs to get to my table. If I were to go back today, that would be just fine, but when I was there it wasn't. I'm hoping they have an elevator somewhere and I just didn't see it because my experience was not ADA compliant. They need to make sure that an elevator or some other form of lift is conspicuously marked. Otherwise, my experience here was good.

Casual restaurant located with in walking distance of several downtown hotels. There's quite a few stairs to enter the restaurant also to go up to the dining area. You enter in on the lower level which houses the bar, where they were doing karaoke. Upon arriving to the top level where the hostess station was located. We were immediately greeted and seated. The food was okay, they give you really large portions, however my Alfredo Pasta wasn't the best. Edible but definitely giving diner food 5/10. My cocktail was a 10/10 though.

There are very few decent dining/ breakfast options in the greater hotel plaza, but Metro Diner offers some refuge. I ordered the fried steak and eggs with grits. I'm new to grits but these were very obviously under-flavored and difficult to consume. At night Metro turns into a large karaoke bar and becomes extremely lively.

Went here after a long night of partying because it was referred as a after spot eatery... unbeknownst to us they were only offering to go orders ... review said calamari was fire so that n tried the wings and strawberry cheesecake .. calamari was NOT to die for not even worth stubbing a toe... i had better the night before from a hookah lounge named Vanity my cousin also agreed the same. Also i paid for all flat wings which noticed once back to room i didn't get what I paid for.. immediately called them no answer left a message no callback .

This place... if you out late and want food or a drink music stop by it's open late food tasteless, drinks weak including fountain drinks,maybe needs an update to inside. For the amount of people that stops by seems like it would be more restrooms, and more waitress, they seem to get unfocused when it's busy in there and they don't know which way to go. Also All the homeless stand out front waiting for you to come out to ask for your leftovers.. or a cigarette

I did NOT expect the vibe this place had based on its name and the look from outside. But once you walk in there is so much life and fun! The lights add a cool look and the music is great. There was karaoke and people could also dance too. The drinks were good; we ordered watermelon Red Bull margaritas. To eat we ordered chicken tenders, it was sooo delicious and the perfect finger food for a night out. The service was great despite it being busy and overall we had a a great time!

I'm sorry. This place was soooo grimy, we had to leave. We walked in, paused at the grimy steps...the hostess spots us, warmly greeted. We feel embarrassed to leave, so we get seated. The more we look around, the grungier it looks! Had to pay for our tea and leave. Oh and the "sweet tea"? Disgusting

Easy 5/5 stars. Partner ordered a classic burger and I ordered a breakfast burrito. The burger was simple and fulfilling, therefore extremely delicious according to them. I had to try a little piece and couldn't help but agree. The burrito was filled to the brim with all of my favorite veggies and was SUPER well-spiced. The staff were so incredibly polite and respectful. I'm a sucker for the retro diner aesthetic and this place has it. Will return frequently.

TLDR: Service was okay, food was good and portions were huge, tons of seating. The service was just alright. Waitress took our order but was not terribly friendly. Not really a big deal but for some reason it was notable at the time. The food was good. Breakfast fare, biscuits and gravy, French toast, omelet, etc. Salt and pepper were a must for most dishes. The portions were very large! So make sure you know what you are ordering. The restaurant decor doesn't really seem to know what it wants to be. Sports bar mixed with 50s diner kind of vibe. I'll definitely come back as it was very convenient to the place we were visiting.

"Metro Diner & Bar" underperformed. From the staff, to the look, to the food. Nothing made me feel like they had any southern hospitality. When we got in, we looked over the selection of cakes to see if we wanted any, the gentleman behind the counter was extremely rude when we asked questions. So we decided to sit, however no one came over to tell us if we seat ourselves or wait to be seated. After a hostess came over and said follow me. She sat us and left. We waited a few minutes for a waitress and while we waited I took a good look around. The building was a bit of a mess and a lot was out of place, this should not be the standard in dining. The waitress finally came over and took our order. After a brief wait, the food came. However we couldn't eat because silverware was missing. We flagged the waitress down and she quickly grabbed some. After while eating my lasagna wasn't the best. It was tough in some spots and lacked sauce. Also, something strange, my brother shared his pasta with me. I tried the chicken and it was dry, it also lacked flavor. I was completely disappointed in my meal. The garlic bread was the only good thing. Last, when they dropped the check, they charged a 18% gratuity on top of the bill. That was strange. Anyway, I definitely won't return, there's a lot this place needs to fix to be up to standard.

It's definitely a bar. The food was tasty and hot but it was sooooooo much like a club. When I went it was like a karaoke night which would be good any other night. This is where you meet your friends after the club for some extended fun. I would recommend it!

Loved that this place was open late and we were able to be seated right away. We loved the diner/bar experience here. Karaoke and bar was downstairs and the dining experience upstairs-not sure if it is wheelchair accessible. The food did not disappoint and our server was attentive but not overly attentive-if that makes sense. lol. The prices were reasonable too. I have never been in a restaurant with a live DJ inside and I must say, it was a great vibe. The only thing was that it was loud and I had a hard time hearing my family when they talked, as well as our server. It could be where we were seated which was near the bar. I would definitely come here again. Good food and good vibes.

This establishment is in fact NOT open 24/7. Walked here early in the morning, all doors were locked, caked the phone number and no one answers. It was 6:15. AM

1. The environment was hot and uncomfortably humid. 2. The bartender was dumb as a brick and had the personality to match. 3. Don't order the Rueben sandwich, absolutely dry and devoid of taste. They seem to miss the fact that sauerkraut is a main component of the sandwich. 4. Ordered a side order of onion rings that were cold when they hit the table. Asked for another order to be prepared and they brought me the same order after dropping it in the fry oil for a few minutes. Horrible food prep matched by the constellation of other failures. 5. Avoid this place and do yourself a favor!

The breakfast was perfect, just what you'd hope from a good diner. Fast and cooked to order. Service is very good and the ambiance is fun. We sat overlooking the street but could also see into the atrium bar with lots of TVs. Kind of pricey but it's downtown Atlanta. It's appropriately priced. Be aware that 18% gratuity is included in your bill!!

Good food, very reasonable prices, and good service. The store is conveniently located in downtown and definitely beat all other super expensive places we tried during our business trip. We did not try their desserts because the food was so good and filling, but I really liked how they looked!

Warning on nuts: the cheesecake flavors look innocent, but some are crusted with things that contain nuts (I think). Came by late evening on a weekday and it was relatively empty. Nice live music playing near the bar on the first floor. We got seated upstairs and were brought menus quickly. Food also came out pretty quickly - five dishes within twenty minutes. I had the patty melt. It was a good portion, with a nice helping of fries that came out hot and crispy. The flavors were salty with a lot of seasoning, very much Southern comfort style. I enjoyed my dinner and my table did as well, with the ribs also getting good reviews. Our waitress unfortunately wasn't able to give many details on the cheesecake safety for someone with a nut allergy. I went with the plain cheesecake. This thing is massive. One slice fed all five of us with a few bites each. It looks soft like a Japanese cheesecake, but it is quite rich and thick. Highly recommend a slice to split with people. Nice that they add gratuity to the menu price. Wish more places did that.

Metro Diner is what you would expect a 3 star Yelp restaurant experience to entail. The restaurant itself has 3 levels of seating and encapsulates typical diner ambiance. Our waitress was attentive, kind and quick to answer our questions. Our meal was satisfying. I ordered the Gyro sandwich and they were happy to allow hash browns as a substitute for my fries. The Gyro was tasty. The pita bread with nicely toasted and the homemade Tzatziki sauce was the highlight of the dish. If your thinking of ordering the hash browns be sure to ask for them crispy unless you like them soft. Overall the service and experience was nice but the food was slightly overpriced.

First- subpar food. Your standard diner food... nothing to write home about. But enough to write this review. Second- Be sure to ask for an itemized receipt. If not you will not know they have already factored in a tip of 18% to your bill. They failed to provide the bill that showed the already added tip. 18% FACTORED IN FOR DINER FOOD!!! Not to mention there was only two of us, not a party! Be so for real. Third- $8 orange juice. Enough said. Do not recommend this place of deceit.

If I could give this place a negative 5 I would. By far the most absolutely total filthy, disgusting, uncooked, unhygienic, and overpriced restaurant I have ever had the displeasure of eating at. I honestly do not know how this place is still allowed to remain open. It is probably the shining example of why code violations and health inspections exist. When I got there, there was crap all over the floor. Food, water, coffee. The bathroom was about ten times worse. The food was just expensive for no reason. For 4 people, and basic size portions, it rang up to about $130. Automatic 18% gratuity goes to the business, not the server. The food was cold, the meat was still pink. I'm getting nauseous just thinking about it. This place needs to be closed down asap.

I needed something good to eat late night, so I looked up some places and Metro Diner popped up. The first thing I saw was the shrimp Philly and my mind was made up from there! This place is downtown. I don't like downtown Atlanta, but I got over it. No parking of course and sketchy behavior lol. Went inside and the place was packed, mostly because there was a special event downtown. They were doing live karaoke, which was fun and kept customers entertained while they waited. I order my food for pickup on Uber eats and got there after the pickup time, but it wasn't ready for another 20-25 minutes. The employees were patient and kind enough about it, though. While I waited, I checked out the cake display and wow! The cakes looked delicious and fresh, even at this time of night. When I finally got my food, it looked amazing. Sadly, the fries were soggy and my sandwich fell apart, probably because everything was sitting for a while and it steamed up. The flavors were there though, and I was satisfied. I'll keep this place in mind for future late night cravings or event let outs, but it's not at the top of my list because of location and wait times.

The quality of New York steak was very average. Not satisfied with the steak.Meal came with normal size steak with plenty of fries. Overall I would say it is only good when everywhere else is closed. It is great that they are open 24 hours.

So we stopped here after we left the red phone booth downtown location. I'm still fairly new to Atlanta so I just wanted to maybe walk around the block and see what was going on but I love karaoke they have karaoke every day from 9 PM to 3 AM so we stopped in and got a few songs in be prepared to pay three dollars for the Mic cover and to get a drink while you're there as well which is not bad. The service was a little slow when it came to the waiter and waiting on us, but it was OK. I didn't order too much of anything and I wasn't really drinking so it really didn't bother me that she didn't check on us cause I didn't get much that night so of course I want her to go with her money is at my friend did get the fries. Did not like him and two other other guys that came and sat with us they did not like their burger, but they did enjoy the chicken. I still have patronize this establishment mainly because of the karaoke one of the things I'm learning about karaoke and Atlanta. They usually don't have the words on the screen so this was one of the places that I found that does the monitor with the lyrics on there and of course it wouldn't be a fun atmosphere if they didn't do a little bit of line dancing for yourself so 10 out of 10 recommend

So one of few open restaurants on Memorial Day this was local to our downtown hotel. Good food, great service and delicious desserts. My wife's grits were great, perfectly cooked and she enjoyed the country fried steak. My pancakes were fluffy and delicious. Bacon, sausage and eggs provided enough protein to get me going. The 2 story eatery has the diner up top and the bar at street level. Open since 2006 this place has been around awhile. The desserts caught our attention upon entry. Would visit again.

Food was great and service was fast. You go through a full on party atmosphere to get to the seating so be prepared. Metro melt was really good. Fries were hot and fresh.

If you are very very very hungry this is the place, they have a classic Diner menu with good prices for the area. Their service is very friendly.

The first timr I went, the karaoke on Thursday was fun. The bartender was friendly and fun to talk to. I went again 2 days later, my burger was burnt and the DJ, named Jaime (may have spelt that wrong), was different than the one on Thursday and kept switching the order of the people who wanted to sing karaoke. We had a large group of 16 people and 3 people in our group that wanted to sing and every time it was their turn, someone else was put in their place. Not sure why, we asked him and his answer was, "there was a lot going up here". Won't be my karaoke spot any further.

Excellent service, cool diner atmosphere, and can handle a massive crowd of passionate and tired people around the clock. A DragonCon staple.

I'm giving this place 3 stars because the barrenders are sweet. But good lord this is the most mismanaged joint in Atlanta. The manager or owner needs to figure out a tv system. Here for nfl playoffs and the bcs championship and none of the TVs worked. Its like your cousins basement in the 80s with rabbit ears ok the roof! Get your shit together folks.
