17 Best Atlanta Dive Bars for a Beer (and Maybe a Burger)

"This East Atlanta Village dive bar is known for hosting a wide and eclectic range of alternative and underground bands on its stage. Most tickets for shows here are $20 or under. The Earl also includes a full bar and menu of pub food, including a couple of Atlanta’s finest burgers and its “Irish Nachos” — tater tots atop nacho chips covered in chili, cheese, lettuce, salsa, jalapeños, and sour cream." - Denise K.

The Best Places To Eat In East Atlanta Village

"What does a boat oar, an old bicycle, a moose head, and a PBR pennant all have in common? Nothing, which is why we always question why they’re all hanging on the walls at The Earl, a small, much-beloved music venue and dive bar in the heart of East Atlanta. Nothing really goes together, but no one really cares because they’re drinking cheap beer and listening to loud rock music. To blend in, grab a beer and order the Big Earl—their messy version of a Big Mac that has caramelized onions, sauce, and cheese dripping out the sides—it’ll sober up anyone who has had one beer too many.

Sub Out French Fries for Tater Tots at These Atlanta Restaurants

"Classic dive bar food in a classic East Atlanta Village dive bar, the Earl gives its tater tots a nacho makeover. The Irish Nachos are tater tots set atop nacho chips and then covered in chili, cheese, lettuce, salsa, jalapeños, and sour cream. Sub out the chili for Brunswick stew to give those tots some Georgia flare." - Eater Staff
