The Scene
Take a trip back in time to 1955, before the bling-bling of today's Buckhead nightlife. Not much has changed in here since this was one of the few spots in Buckhead for a drink. Exposed pipes and concrete floors still dominate the decor; quick and generous bartenders still serve up draft beers and strong cocktails; popcorn supplies the base for a night of indulging. Today the smoke-filled bar draws a raging late-20's crowd of Buckhead professionals and grown-up frat boys. This place is a dive, but it has a history of bringing people together over a few too many drinks.
The Draw
Like your old reliable college bar, this place is unpolished and proud of it. Singalongs to the jukebox make everyone feel like old friends--even the drunk who spills his drink on you. The unpretentious setting, and an unwind-on-us attitude give customers an escape from the surrounding club chaos.

This place is terrible every time I have been there it has been next to impossible to get a drink and thats when they are not even that busy. They need a new staff of something because a bar tender that does nothing but ignores you is just a terrible person and should only be allowed to serve drinks in the deepest darkest circle of hell.

Typical Buckhead trashy bar where everybody looks the same, in their Abercrombie jeans and plaid shirts, screaming the words to "Don't Call Me Darling" and "Family Tradition". The "it" spot, if you want to hang out with a bunch of people that fit the "all-white-yuppie-redneck" stereotype. I would rather eat my hand than walk back into that shite hole. Other than that, the place was rad.

Usually I avoid Buckhead, since I can do without all the yuppie attitude. However, some friends wanted to go here and since I'm a good sport, I agreed. What a fantastic experience. This place is completely laid back, enjoyable, and the patrons are friendly. In addition, drink prices are fair and the staff is exemplary.
