The Elbow Room was a great little sports bar. Service for drinks was very fast. I didn't eat there but there was a great menu on. I would definitely go back again.

We visited Elbow Room on April 29, 2024, to celebrate my cousin's birthday, drawn in by their convenient opening hours. Unfortunately, our experience was marred by a series of unacceptable incidents.Our waitress appeared to be intoxicated, which set the tone for a disappointing evening. Our pizza was burnt, and when we brought it to her attention, she used her finger to flip it and dismissively said it was "slightly burnt" and we should either eat it or leave. We stood our ground and requested for it to be changed. She did. To make matters worse, our wings orders were incorrect.When we received the bill, we noticed it had been padded. After settling the bill, we gave the waitress a tip of $5 and promptly told us to leave immediately, pushing us to clear the table without even saying "excuse me." She went so far as to say we didn't know how to tip and weren't welcome back. The birthday boy was understandably upset and tried to complain to the bartender, but she seemed to be under the waitress's influence, saying "they're okay" and showing us the door without allowing the bartender to intervene.The combination of poor service, subpar food, and unprofessional behavior from the waitress made for a truly unforgettable experience. I hope management takes our feedback seriously and addresses these issues to prevent similar incidents in the future.

I remember when the Elbow Room was a grimy smoke filled gin mill. I loved it! Reminded me of Buffalo. Now they've gotten all bourgeois. But still it's a good alternative to the snooty Buckhead village restaurants.

$30 for a 10 piece and fries... And it was AWFUL. I don't mind paying more if the food is good. This was not good.

A rainy Sunday afternoon.A great little bar with a friendly vibe. Solid gastro pub menu . We liked the huge hot dog with onions, a fantastic burger & and a great pizza . Cosmos were made right too . All the seating was padded giving this a 4/5 tush factor . I'll be back . .

Good neighborhood spot for a drink n bar bites. The onion rings were good. A lot of people were coming in and leaving with a pizza - so assume they do a good pie.Service is ok - they seem to be busy all the time and make an effort to keep up.
I visited Elbow Room for the first time for a first date! It will definitely be my last date with that man, but not my last visit at Elbow Room. I will admit that this bar certainly attracts a male audience, so it's not the best to be the only woman in the room. But that can be overlooked because of how good the food & service are. My date split the bill with me... mind you we are both in our forties and honestly I don't even know if my date had a job which is probably why we split the bill. After my divorce I just can't find a decent guy to go on a date with. I don't know what's happening with the dating scene but this is not how I remember being courted before I married at 19. Anyway I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries and it was seriously impeccable. Those fries were SO salty just a heart attack waiting to happen but they were so crisp and crunchy, and my mouth is watering while writing this review because so good. My date ordered the tater tots and he must not have liked them because his grimy slimy fingers kept making their way to my plate -- which is actually just a basket not a plate. The conversation with him was horrible. He kept speaking over me so I went to the ladies' room just to get a break from him. That's when I met one of the bartenders and she was honestly the sweetest most beautiful woman I've ever spoken to. I don't know her name but she had beautiful eyelashes. Anyway this place was great. When I have better company I will surely enjoy my visit even more. Highly recommend.

Nice spot to watch sports. Seating is first come. The service was very slow but the server was nice. The space is tight but a good time. The parking is very limited on the property.

This is as much of a dive sports bar as you're going to get near the Shops of Buckhead. Lot's of TV's, solid food and drink options, and kitschy interior. Our waitress was very attentive although I came at a quiet time. Also had to pay for parking as there are limited options in that area.

This is a divey sports bar. One of the few great ones left in Buckhead. The food is fair to amazing, depending on what you order from their large menu. The Italian dishes are my favourites. The service is hit or miss. Depends on who you get. Some are just tired of the job and it kind of shows but others are still hustling energetically. More power to both groups. Being a server is HARD. So they'll get to you. Just hang tight. Have fun!
