The Bucket Shop Cafe

"Longtime Atlantans may remember this venerable sports bar from its heyday at Underground Atlanta in the 1970s, before moving to Buckhead in 1982. Open at 11 a.m. until the wee hours of the morning, expect bar grub like wings, cheeseburger sliders, and chicken egg rolls to triple decker club sandwiches and even a New York strip. Be sure to order the Bucket Shop’s popular Reese’s peanut butter pie. Open until 3 a.m. every day except Sunday." - Eater Staff, Allison Ramirez

"Sports bars abound around Atlanta, but for regulars of the Bucket Shop Cafe on Lenox Road, those other establishments don’t exist, and haven’t for a while. For fans of Auburn football (if you didn’t already know,) this is your bar on Saturdays in the fall.

"While some Buckhead spots might feel stuffy, The Bucket Shop Cafe is not one of them. It feels like an upbeat small-town sports tavern that just so happens to sit across the street from high-end Lenox Mall. One glance at their gigantic patio and the drink menu that boasts seven mule selections and it’s easy to see why this is a happy hour haven for nearby worker bees. Sandwiches, burgers, and appetizers make up the majority of the menu, which ranges from $5–$15—a bargain by Buckhead standards. Regulars are obsessed with the fried Uptown Shrimp tossed in a sweet chili sauce, and we’d agree. " - Juli Horsford
