What People Are Saying About Trackside Tavern

The Scene – A shiny Golden Tee video game, menu with bacon-wrapped shrimp, and popular trivia and karaoke nights undermine Trackside's dive reputation. Low-key neighborhood bar it is, with large wooden booths, beer-stained decor and a wall of customer pictures. The crowd is dressed down; many of the regulars are Agnes Scott students and Decatur locals who've long been warming the bar stools. Behind the U-shaped bar is a tap, Camel cigarettes and full supply of liquor, including a Jaegermeister machine. Thanks to a competent staff, there's nary an empty glass. – – The Draw…

Great Wings!!
by SadieL
I went here for the first time on Sunday night after a long day of drinking in Decatur. It is a bit of a dive bar but the food is really good! That is really saying something since Decatur's "bar food" spots include Taco Mac, Brickstore, Twains, etc. The wings at Trackside are awesome. . .best I've had in Decatur!
- Pros: Hot Food and Good Wings
- Cons: Divey Atmosphere

Best Bar Food, Amazing Staff
by DecaturDad
Decatur without Trackside would be like a day without sunshine. The staff is top rate, customers are loyal and fun - you never know who you are going to run into there - from neighborhood natives to musicians to ex-politicians. Never witnessed any rudeness there (unless you deserved it) and certainly no discrimination - I've even witnessed the owner and his staff carrying a disabled person to his car when his walker broke and customers driving an older gentleman home because he rode his bicycle there and severe thunderstorms suddenly came up. The bar food is excellent (try the French Dip and the wings - you can't beat 'em) and the free food they serve on holidays and special events is terrific. Five stars all the way.
- Pros: Great prices, Friendly, "Neighborhood feel",
- Cons: None

Crappy food, even worse service.
by DEKU
The bartending staff is rude and disrespectful. The bartender refused to serve me a drink because I have a lisp, and no I am not kidding. He said I was "slurring my speech." Stay away from this dump. Pretty soon I'm gonna file a complaint under the Americans With Disabilities Act. The regulars are also a bunch of losers.
- Pros: Open Late
- Cons: Everythign Else
