“Another Great Dive I wish I remembered the name of nice old gentleman behind the bar. He is in the picture I posted. This is old dove bar that only serves drinks. The bartender was so friendly to us and had a shot with us. Prices are very fair and they always have live music. If you like dive bars, this is definitely one for you. Thanks“

“Been going to the local for a long time and it's an Atlanta staple. Always a great experience every time. And the bartenders and staff are friendly and kind, and hilarious? I dunno you guys put a smile on my face when I leave the bar. Y'all should do stand-up or improv.“

“great drinks, friendly bartenders and a cool atmosphere. they have regular events like karaoke and dungeons and dragons. they also rotate the arcade machines periodically throughout the year, i believe the current selection is available to view on their website but has many popular 80s and 90s multiplayer arcade games in various genres. they also have a room with couches, pinball and board games. there is an outdoor fenced in smoking section as well. the frozen mixed drinks are a personal favorite of mine. in the past they've sometimes had pop-up restaurant concepts hosted but don't, to my knowledge, ordinarily serve food of their own. great date spot, or to go with friends and play some games. it would be fun even without drinking if you're just wanting to play games.Parking: parking is catch as catch can. there are some paid lots in the area, as well as some limited street parking. but on a busy night, it can be tricky to find a space sometimes.“

“First time coming here was a great experience. From the time I walked through the door I was greeted by every staff member which made me feel very welcomed. Walking in and looking around reminded me of the show “cheers”. I also enjoyed the great and rotation selection of local beers and the honest feedback from the bartenders. It seems to be a great neighborhood bar where people from the area frequent. The only recommendation is I wished the had a variety of oyster options and be careful with the horseradish, a little goes a long way but overall great experience and I will be returning.“

“Love the atmosphere of this place. Old school decor and laid back. Food was good and I recommend the fish and chips and the chicken cheesecake. My friend had the wings and she said they were just alright. Although they bring the food to your table there is no waitress service and you go up to the bar to order. Good selection of beer as well as a full bar.“

“Ok, first up: I consider this a "small neighborhood dive bar" ... So don't go thinking of saying this 5 stars is fancy or something fake like that.Clean: my shoes didn't stick to the floors. You'd be shocked at the nicer places who can't manage this simple task.Lots of bar stools! I go to a bar to sit at the bar. It hurts my heart when I go somewhere and they need another 10 feet of bar for more stools.The food is really well prepared but warning, it is kinda fancy, so if you eat like a 5 year old because you're autistic, don't go ordering the hummus. ? Got dayum the fries were great though. ? Seriously, I can't knock the hummus plate. I was impressed even knowing it wasn't what I really wanted.“

“This bar is WAY too bright so we unscrewed a few of the lightbulbs and it really created a much more enjoyable experience. A lady rightfully yelled at us for doing it, but she also did never screw those lightbulbs back in, so I think that deep down she liked it too.“

“Went here randomly. Parking was a small hassle. Bar was cool, the margarita was super strong!!! Got the Philly cheesesteak with fries and some hot wings. The wings and fries were alright, but the Philly was so good I wanted to order another one! For two meals and two margaritas we spent about $50, not too “

“The atmosphere is very private but inviting. Mature crowd 28+ I would say. Music. No alcohol is served, however, BYOB or cooler. ? The food is off the chain good. The wings are prepared however you like them. The batter and seasoning is like nothing I have tasted before. You will take home a to go box. Just that good!“

“This was my second time here. On both occasions they were host to a invite only special event as an offshoot to Whiskey x. This definitely has a dive bar kind of feel. The bartenders are nice and the drinks are well made but this is not a high-end or trendy kind of place. They have some standard video games and the sports game on tv. The prices are reasonable. You can park in the back and it technically says that you have to pay“

“First let me say that the atmosphere is not for everyone. It is a dive bar and kind of dark inside, but it has a charm of its own. The service has always been exceptional, the bartenders and wait staff have been nothing but awesome. I haven't had too many menu items, but I will say that the jerk wings are to die for. It's usually good to get there before too late because they can sell out. They are jumbo wings, nothing like what you would find at Taco Mac or other wing places. These are serious jumbo and juicy wings. I used to work in a restaurant and bar in college and appreciate good wings, nobody else compares to their jerk wings with blue cheese. It's the right amount of sauce and tang from the blue cheese, this is just a really enjoyable meal to me because I could eat wings everyday and not get tired of them. Jerk can be an acquired taste for some people, but if you want to give it a shot, you will not be disappointed when compared to other places. Really great jerk wings at FlatIron!“

“By far the most consistent restaurant in Atlanta. prices are fair and they are true to who they are. They have RC cola which sums up how honest and real they are. Nacho Burrito is on point! The unique flat taste of RC Cola and the crunch of the Nacho Burrito will get you wanting to come back.“
