Atlanta’s Best Bars - Eater Atlanta

"The Highlander, located in the Midtown Promenade on Monroe Drive, has been open for over 25 years and claims to be “a fixture of Atlanta’s late-night party scene.” Head here for classic bar food like their tater tots, cheap beer, generously poured shots, and no pretense. Sorry, this bar is strictly 21 and up." - Beth McKibben

Almost everything was good. Wasn't in love with the tater tots but the Philly was juicy and well seasoned. The buffalo chicken chunks we're crispy and not too hot. I enjoyed the water here and my waitress was sweet and attentive. Interested in coming back when they have live entertainment.

I had an enjoyable experience at the Highlander. It kinda reminded me of Grinder’s back in Kansas City with their atmosphere and their beer selection. The food was amazing and it came surprisingly fast to the table. While trivia night was fun, I didn’t stay till the end of the game because my tiredness from the pretrip jitters the night before visiting Atlanta caught up with me.

Went here during my time in Atlanta. Was shown on Guy Fieri Diners Drive in and Dives and was a great experience. Food is incredible. Love the decor and staff were sooo friendly. It's not a place you'd find simply online and expect good quality food but don't judge a book by its cover. This place is amazing! Im not from the area and wouldn't have gone if it weren't recommended by the DDD show. GO check it out!

Great dive bar, with a trendy feel to it. If you've spent a bit of time in the Ansley mall/Midtown area, you've heard of this place. First off, pricing was so low, I thought the food not be as good. Boy was I wrong. I ordered the Mother Clucker with house chips. Probably the best chicken sandwich in Atlanta. (Prove me wrong). Beer selection wasn't that great but I enjoyed the local brews they have on tap. Great service, and decent crowd. I'd love to try the other items on the menu, so any suggestions for my next dish would be great.

I love me some chicken chunks and tater tots. The Highlander is an Atlanta institution for a reason. Super beer selection. Great bar food. Everybody feels welcome at The Highlander.

We only stopped in for a beer while waiting for our movie to start next door but the service was great! This is a classic dive, hole in the wall definitely worth visiting! We love the atmosphere and decor. We will have a meal next time as well!

Good food, affordable, doesn't come across as the most inviting environment, sure they have regulars. Outdoor smoker seating. Positive for smokers negative for those who don't

Had good late night eats here, I ordered a pastrami reuben which was very good and my wife had smoked wings. We were both pleased with our food and the decoration of the place, although we did feel a bit out of place because the crowd is punk rock, but no problem at all. What I did not like was that you can smoke inside, us being non smokers it was not a pleasant sensation, and all our clothes and hair smelled like an ashtray when we got home.
