Red Door Tavern

"The red door makes this bar easy to find, and the affordable drinks make it hard to leave. Keep in mind this is Buckhead’s version of a dive, so it’s more polished. The front room is home to a variety of arcade games like Skee-Ball and Big Buck, which appeal to its younger techy crowd. The main room holds a single bar and standing-room-only space that’s usually filled with an overwhelming amount of polo shirts and button-downs on weekends. Even the neon sign above the bathroom advertises that rich people party here, so it's the Atlanta dive to take your S-class-driving friends. But on weeknights, the dive bar field trippers stay home, and this place resembles more of a chill watering hole than the closing night of a corporate company golf outing." - juli horsford

"Red Door Tavern has been part of the Buckhead bar scene for nearly 20 years now. In 2019, the bar added a 1980s-inspired arcade adjacent to the main entrance. Arcadia features classic arcade games like Ms. Pac-Man, Tekken, and Galaga, murals of old school game characters like Donkey Kong and Super Mario Brothers, and a floor consisting of 180,000 pennies. Pull up for beer, cocktails, and sports on the televisions." - Eater Staff

"This dive bar in Buckhead has been part of the scene in the neighborhood for more than 20 years now, and it includes a 1980s-style arcade near the main entrance called Arcadia. Grab drinks and then head over to the arcade to play classics like Ms. Pac-Man, Tekken, and Galaga surrounded by murals of characters like Donkey Kong and Super Mario Brothers." - Beth McKibben
