Woofs Sports Bar

The Best Sports Bars in Atlanta to Catch Any Game

"Atlanta’s only gay sports bar moved from its 17-year home on Piedmont to an expanded space on Plasters Avenue, just off of Armour Drive. With the move came a new food menu, including tacos, sandwiches, and wings. Hang out and watch an Atlanta United match, the Olympics, college or NFL football, or a Braves game on one of Woofs’ two dozen televisions. Woofs regularly hosts charity events for local LGBTQ organizations and is a welcoming spot for Atlanta queer sports leagues." - Henna Bakshi

The Best Gay Bars In Atlanta

"Woofs near Armour Yards opened in 2002 and has since maintained its status as Atlanta’s only LGBTQ+ sports bar. Televisions on every wall ensure you don’t miss a game, and the pool or darts are a good way to show off your athletic coordination in hopes of being recruited by one of the rec leagues that meet here regularly. The food here is always solid with traditional pub fare like wings and burgers, but their secret weapon is an excellent Cuban sandwich packed with pork, ham, and pickles. " - juli horsford

"Woof’s is unique because it’s the only LGBTQ+ sports bar in the city. But you don't have to be in the queer community to cheer here—all sports fans flock to this bar near Armour Yards. Their square bar in the center of the room is surrounded by TVs and university flags on all sides. A second adjoining room houses a pool table and dart boards. The cozy, small-town bar feel is enhanced when the place is packed with fans thirsty for a victory. And a menu that offers a little bit of everything from tacos to seafood to salads (and very good burgers) ensures everyone can get at least get a win when it comes to food.

While my friends were visiting the USA, we decided to immerse ourselves in the Olympic spirit by heading to Woofs Sports Bar. The atmosphere was electric, with every screen in the bar tuned to the Olympics. We indulged in some refreshing cold beers and enjoyed the delicious bar food while cheering for our favorite athletes. The friendly vibe at the bar made the experience even more enjoyable.

Everything is good, but the tarter sauce. I guess it's their recipe, but prepaid is cost effect and a standard taste people look for. The staff often brings tarter and seafood sauce to bridge the issue. This isn't the first post I've requested the tarter sauce change. We often choose other places for seafood as a result.

Woofs is a great place to hangout, watch sports, and eat some delicious food. I was there recently and ordered the blue burger and it came out perfectly cooked. The bacon on top of it was nice and crispy but not too overdone. The tater tots were also crispy and there were a lot of them. If you’re looking for a gay friendly place to hangout with good food, check out Woofs.

Normally love this place, but just waited for an hour at a table with no service. Skip dinner for your sanity. Let the bartender know, but wasn’t his problem.

This is an awesome LGBTQ friendly sports bar! My bartender, Jared, made my whole experience an enjoyable one. He's the best! I'll be returning with friends.

We accidentally found "Woofs Atlanta" and decided to watch the game there. It was extremely crowded with a lot of people there. We had to wait at least twenty minutes for a table. When on opened up we made our way to hold it. The staff there told us not to come over. That's fine, but the way he said it. But we waited. They had no specials for drinks so my brother got a bucket. The food took surprisingly long to come out. It was okay. This is definitely not the spot for me.

Excellent bear-ish bar with great food in Atlanta. Moved to great open space a few years ago - bartenders are super friendly. Good burgers and more - friendly customers. Always worth a visit when I'm in town.

Great sports bar. The service is not really fast, but it is always consistent. It has regular bar food, and sometimes the food can be cold. The bar area is very cool and the bartenders are extremely nice. They are known for their wings but it is expensive! The French dip is always a good choice. Must try while in Atlanta.

We first attempted to go here on our first night in town-Friday-parking was impossible-some left. We came back Saturday afternoon for lunch-parking was better but not easy. The food was good. One of our party had a hamburger, one a turkey burger and one an impossible burger. All 3 were good as were the sides.. It's a spacious place and the atmosphere was fun. Our server at best was efficient, more gruff and uninterested. He never smiled and wasn't welcoming or pleasant. As we left he turned his back to us (without a goodbye or thank you) to smile and help the younger guys who sat down next to us. ‍ Overall the food was worth the effort to come back a second time, but disappointing hospitality.

An Atlanta institution at this point . Usually crowded & festive . Large gastropub menu with plenty of salad options . The burgers , sandwiches & tacos are always great . The service is always on point. Always IMO . A comfortable atmosphere. What's not to love?

Came here with a big group of friends around 8-9PM on Thursday. They have daily specials and Thursday is a $6 burger (which tomato, lettuce, onion + you can pay for other toppings) and a separate Absolut cocktail special. I got the burger with pepperjack cheese and medium rare, which was pretty solid! No complaints and definitely a pretty large portion. We had a very nice server as well. Inside vibes were very nice, which was surprising given the location right off the highway. Lots of indoor seating and it looks like they have a connected building with pool and slots? Pretty chill sports bar inside with lots of TVs with different sports on but definitely not rowdy or loud. Parking lot is fairly cramped so beware but we were all able to find spots. And of course a plus for being an LGBTQ+ bar!

Lived next to this place for a year and never went, but I finally decided to drop in. I'm not sure what took me so long! I've had both their fried shrimp and grilled shrimp. Both were phenomenal. The garlic cheese curds are a MUST and the chicken skewers are great too! Parking can be hectic due to the location but the inside is great. Lots of games and TVs.

Traffic in Atlanta was awful and the rain was coming down so hard most people were exiting the freeway and Woofs was conveniently located so I pulled in and got in and got to the bar. When I went to check in I noticed this was a gay bar but I just wanted a beer and wait for the traffic and rain to clear and get out and I got great service got to talk to some people next to me and it was a nice atmosphere. This was not a flamboyant bar that makes anyone uncomfortable or new to the same feel unwelcome as the staff was quite attentive in the crowd seem to be somewhat middle-aged or a little older like me and the food was good as well. Tip your waiters good as we all should show a little more kindness these days. i'm not gay but I felt perfectly welcome and was not insecure and have to say it was my first gay bar. So not to put a label on it but it's labeled on the site, good drinks good service good food what can I say. I was happy had good conversation had a couple of drinks and stayed an hour and got back on the highway. Highly recommend!!

Great sports bar and food. This place is a good meetup for friends to watch a game, cut up, and have a brewski.

Great spot for a quick lunch or late lunch. The food, while somewhat basic, is always good. The drinks are plenty. The staff is great! The crowd is great! Check it out!

Tesha P.

Wanted to a chill spot to catch the nfl season opener. The wife suggested Woofs and it did not disappoint. The staff was very pleasant and friendly. Sports were on every TV and the food was sooooo good. It's bar food but much better than your typical bar food. They have food and drink specials everyday of the week and nice selection of draft beer. Apparently they just moved to this location but they're going to have dart boards and pool tables in the coming months. I'm confident when I say, this is my new bar of choice!

Denice L.

It's football season so we wanted to find a spot with good food, plenty of tvs and drinks. We were successful with all three at Woofs. Alan our sever absolutely fabulous. He answers all questions and offered great suggestions. They are renovating next door for billiards and other fun games so we will definitely be back for that. They have a full bar and good service. We ordered burgers because it's the special on Thursdays with onion and cheese cut. All was delish!!! See you soon Woofs!!

One of my favorite sports bars in Atlanta! The food is delicious, the staff's amazing! Extended patio and game room are great additions. Plenty of TV's all throughout.

Corey W.

Yelp

One of Atlanta's best gay and all inclusive bars. The crowd is usually very diverse. Black, white, gay, straight,... Each day a different feel and crowd. The theme is sports bar, so plenty tvs and a gaming room. Also bears, hence the name. If you don't know what that means, it's a gay term and phrase. Food is better than you'd expect as well. Many loyal regulars day and night. Daily specials and constantly evolving. What more can I say? If yer lookin for something not quite stereotypical gay scene, come on through! Tell them Thunder sent ya. ;-)

Update: new location, more attentive bartenders. I revisited this place in mid-November 2022. (A friend and I had been there the preceding February and really liked the new vibe of the new place.) When I entered the bar, there was only one stool at the bar that was vacant. The bar was quite full, all of the tables were full, and there was a good crowd. I sat down, ordered a patty melt and onion rings, and a gin and tonic. The food (not your typical bar food, mind you - very fresh and tasty) arrived in a timely fashion, as did the drink, and the bartender could not have been improved upon. I ended up having a couple more drinks while talking to the man to my left - we shared a mutual interest in cars. I really don't identify as the typical "sports bar" person, but I was made to feel comfortable, and in my element that night.

1. This review is about tonight's experience, and ONLY tonight's experience. 2. I was seated at 6:15, joined by friends at 6:30. 3. A 4th person joined who had to be out quickly. 4. I haven't had service this bad in DECADES! We only got any attention from the server after flagging him down. 5. at 8 PM we said, "gotta go, bring us our checks" and were told, we'll box up your food. 6. the server said something along the lines of "oh.... didn't know you guys were on a timeline. 7. This is reflected against the fact all of the other tables along the front window, all served by the same guy, had their food and paid their bills before we got our food. 8. Sorry to say this, but the table with the 4 older guys was ignored in favor of the young, cute guys at neighboring tables. 9. Tell your servers to pay EXTRA attention to the old queens. We've lived through things they can't even imagine. 10. I'll be back, but more careful next time about who waits on the table.

So....table of 5 orders food & drink. 4 get served food...10 mins later after everyone is eating... I'd inquired about my order (burger) they claimed it's coming. 2mins later I'd realized I don't need to beg for food a canceled my order. #WontReturnHere

Always great food and stiff drinks!! What more can you ask for but maybe trivia and yeap on the right night they have that too! This place is very warm and welcoming and have daily specials!! Ask for Von he is the best bartender in my opinion, and this is my review so my opinion is the one that matters!!!

Adam H.

Yelp

Tonight's service from James B left much to be desired. Ordering from him was a chore. I ordered a second drink twice before he realized I was serious about asking for another. My table of older gentleman was ignored in blatant contrast to the fact that the younger, cuter tables next to us were well taken care of.

Corey L.

Yelp

I am really happy that a friend recommended this place to meet up. This place is really nice, the staff are friendly and the food, my gawd! I tried the Shrimp basket with a side salad. I did not expect jumbo shrimp at a really good price point! I did try the house ranch and blue cheese, while both were fairly decent, I wouldn't say they were the best I've ever had. The shrimp on the other hand was perfect! The shrimp was crispy, tender and not over seasoned! Also, they served it in this farm house basket that was really cute. The waiter also recommended a Jameson pickle back which was really good! ** this place gets a 5 because the food, the staff and they are following social distancing guidelines. The staff will ask a customer to put their mask on if they are waking around and they check body temperature at the door. I will be back here.

Great place to hang out and watch the game. Decent food for a sports bar too! It took a while for the new location to grow on me, but it has turned out to be more convenient!

Will F.

Yelp

My husband and I came down to visit some friends and they took us here for Sunday football to watch the games. Actually, we used to live in Atlanta and frequented Woofs at their previous location on Piedmont Road every Sunday during football season as well as other times, too. Nevertheless, we sat at the bar and ordered first drinks and then food from our bartender, John. He was VERY GOOD in getting us everything we ordered from the food to the beer and cocktail refills promptly. The food was just average bar food as nothing was really revved up from the old location. But I will add that the feel and the vibe of the bar had changed in that it was much older crowd and so everything was more 'low key'. At any rate, we had a great time and hope to return again when we visit Atlanta again soon.

At the old location of Woofs I had quite a few bad experiences and really avoided going there as much as possible. However, at the new location I have had nothing but great experiences, with well prepared food and attentive staff. Thumbs up!

After my last visit and the delicious burger I had to come back for wing day, and I wasn't disappointed! The wings were huge and delicious. And the service was fantastic! (Thanks, Dan!). Give this place a try!

Sean H.

Woofs delivered on an unexpected but absolutely fantabulous outting with my hubby. The new space is far superior to their previous home location on Piedmont Avenue. Even the food appears to have improved. My hubster had Lemon Pepper Wings: perfectly fried and flavourful, while I had the French Dip: facking delicious ya'll. Also, hubster's not much of a drinker and the bartender made up a drink for him that was so good I had the same for myself as well. Great experience and I wish them all the best. We shall return!

Woofs is a great place to hangout, watch sports, and eat some delicious food. I was there recently and ordered the blue burger and it came out perfectly cooked. The bacon on top of it was nice and crispy but not too overdone. The tater tots were also crispy and there were a lot of them. If you're looking for a gay friendly place to hangout with good food, check out Woofs.

I went to Woofs this weekend for the first time in years (Covid). I used to go to the previous one which on Piedmont back in the day, this one is much nicer and the atmosphere is really nice, it's clean, food was good but two issues: first of all the staff is definitely not the friendliest, very impatient and rude, second of all I noticed the big banner that says "BLACK LIVES MATTER" which I personally think is not a good idea for any type of business to display, just because someone is gay does not mean they have to support that movement. I definitely did not feel very welcomed there, I don't think I'll be going back.

Shame you can't sit by yourself have dinner at 8 pm on a Saturday night. No line, plenty of tables. But tables are reserved for parties of 2 or more. I could understand if the place was packed.....it was not. I could also understand if I just wanted to drink....but I didn't. I'm not going to eat dinner sitting at a bar. But don't worry, I'll give my money to another business.

This was my first visit to Woofs since they moved to the new Plaster St. location. We had stopped by once before on a weekend afternoon, not realizing there was a special fundraising event. Took a while to find parking. The crowd was very friendly, yet a bit overwhelming. Today we stopped by for lunch. Plenty of parking, and easy access. When we walked in, Randy at the bar warmly greeted us, and took our drink order. He shared details on the Thursday $5 burger special. He was great - very friendly and welcoming. One of our party had been there before, and Randy seamlessly remembered his favorite drink and lunch choice. I ordered the Santa Fe Salad with blackened chicken. Friends ordered fish tacos and a burger. Other guests were arriving, including a birthday party; a perfect mix of professionals and the local crowd. Nice vibe. Items arrived timely with a smile, and were appropriately hot and/or cold. My salad was superb, and my friends indicated their meals were the same. We also appreciated Ashley, who prepared our meals, circulating in the dining room and chatting with guests. Very impressed today. All aspects aligned seamlessly. We are fortunate to have an LGBT+ affirming sports bar in Atlanta. A great spot to hang out with friends, or just stop by for a drink. A place where "everybody knows your name".

Love this place..great food, great service. BUT...here's my suggestion..keep your music playing...don't turn the volume of any of your TV's on...EVER!! No one can hear it and if we want to hear the commentary..we should stay home. I would have stayed and ordered more food and drinks..but the staff said it was the owner's decision. Bad decision!!

Woofs is the first gay or even gay friendly bar I have been to. As a woman normally when I go out if a guy talks to me he's trying to hit on me or get in my pants. At woofs I can wear my sexy clothes and not feel like a piece of meat. Yes it's almost all men in the bar. I've been to woofs 2 times with yes my gay friend. He's a regular so he gets a lot of people even the few girls who go to woofs saying hello to him. Everyone is so friendly even the people who you don't know. I was recently at woofs just hanging out w my friend for 5 hours. We talked to a lot of people even strangers. We didn't feel rushed by the servers (although we did have food and he had a drink). I quit drinking but I can see myself hanging out here more often. I would even feel comfy going as a single woman(I'm not single I'm married). I'm going back soon for a bday party and can't wait. Oh ya the Mercer flag on the wall that spot was claimed by my dear friend John mark who put the flag there... Lol. I just graduated Mercer and can't wait to sit at the Mercer table. Don't worry it's not really the Mercer table it's just where we'll sit if noone else is..but if you sit by the Mercer flag be prepared for the mercianians to come say hello.. lol.. Another plus to a female going to a gay bar is the super clean female bathrooms

I've been to the "new" woofs a few times now. Love the new venue. Always busy. Service is good and everyine is friendly. Trivia on Wednesday is fun too. It seems to almost always be busy. $4.25 Miller lite drafts. Had the chef salad ($12) and was big and worth the price. Friend had the chicken fingers and grilled shrimp ($13) and both the chicken fingers, and shrimp were cooked well. The fries are great too. I mean it's all frozen stuff they cook but it's all done well. It's bar food done well.

James H.

Yelp

Tonight was my first time at the new location. It is nice. I ordered a Mai Tai. The drink did not taste like the ones I have had before. I told the server, Kevin. He very nonchalantly told me he did not know what they tasted like since he drank beer. He took it to a bartender and he added grenadine to the drink. It still was not good. I ordered a cheeseburger burger medium and it was over cooked. At this point I was too aggravated to even say anything because Kevin was not concerned about my drink and I did not feel the burger would have merited too much more of his concern. I am not trying to make Kevin the bad guy in this situations. It is just my drink was not good and neither was my cheeseburger. Perhaps it was an off night because I remember the burgers being so much better.

I have to say, this bar is amazing. With all the stuff going on Covid 19 and the Riots and we were on lockdown for a couple of months, we were skeptical of trying restaurants and bars. Woofs has it going on. When you walk in someone checks your temperature, tables are separated, men's bathroom very clean, food is very good, no matter what you order. Sanitizing after every guest leaves. Just found out that on Mondays and Tuesdays 1/2 price wine. Haven't observed that but was told. I feel very comfortable eating, and having a few drinks. Also, with restaurant opening up, they were the only ones to check your temperature. . Feel very safe here. Thank you

Place was ok. ,very busy. , food was ok. But Almost important thing they have a lot of roaches and it was on my food and I asked for a manager and the manager he never showed up it was so disgusting I will never go there for food Done

Woof's is my most favorite bar in Atlanta. ALWAYS friendly, genuine and attentive service. Jimmy is one of my favorite bartenders and he's very gentle on the eyes. Service is superior and the bar and staff make always make you feel warm and welcomed. Stopping in there alone? You'll meet new friends immediately and without any typical attitude. I love the diverse crowd. Always fun, great conversation and environment. I refuse to go anywhere where both clientele and bar staff are rude or could care less about your business. Woof's is the ultimate!! Oah, if you're looking to have some food, while you drink - DO NOT HESITATE to grab ANYTHING from Woof's. OMG!! Everything I've tried has always been phenomenal. Try the wings! Try the chicken sticks! I cannot speak more highly of an establishment that I adore - Woof's Atlanta. This isn't just another bar, you'll fit right in!
