What People Are Saying About Five Paces Inn

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.…

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
The Old White Rugby Team calls the bar home, so the crowd can get rowdy.
The Extras:
If you come here, chances are you'll end up at Churchill Arms.

Horrible

by mac00420

the bar is horrible. there was a fight there and i tried to break it up and the drunk bartender amanda claimed people tried to choke her out. so people were arresed by atlanta's finests and charged with disordly conduct. Worst bar in the world and worst bartenders in the world. Lets go Amanda keep drinking and serving alcohol while your working and against the law.

  • Pros: bartenders giving away free drinks
  • Cons: Atlanta PD and Amanda the bartender

Awful service

by wesley123

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.

Dive

by joogit

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.

  • Pros: They have a roof
  • Cons: Worst bar I've been to in Atlanta.

Great Place to Chill in Buckhead

by smoove_d

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.
