What People Are Saying About Righteous Room

In Short – An unlikely strip mall storefront gives way to this perpetually dark, clove cigarette-scented alcoholic underworld that's stocked with do-it-yourself furnishings, a funky bar and a jukebox. A regular spot for both after-work drinks and late-night pub grub, stars like Pink and Butch Walker blend in with the locals at this dark little joint. Known almost as much as a reliable snacks place as it is a watering hole, the Righteous Room is a nearly perfect continuum of good beer, respectable hard liquor pours and intelligent revisions of the usual bar food offerings. At the heart of…

Great Service. Relaxed Vibe
by Casey H at Citysearch
Perhaps I’m biased because it’s within walking distance to my place, but The Righteous Room is one of my favorite spots to hang out. The bartenders are friendly and I’ve always had good service. The barbecue sandwich is delish, as is the hummus. The jukebox is fantastic, and while there is no dance floor, no one minds if you break out into dance in the middle of the place. (I’ve seen it happen.) If you’re looking for a laid back atmosphere, stiff drinks, and great music, you can’t go wrong here.
- Pros: Chilled Out Atmosphere
- Cons: Can get crowded

Great food, pretty poor service
by ok at Citysearch
If you've heard of this place, you might have heard something like "this used be one of the best hangouts in Atlanta like 10 years ago" or something like that. I'm not sure if it's the influx of fratboys/yuppies, so much as the general influx in the whole city. I will say that it's become pretty standard for the service to absolutely suk. It's not uncommon to see 2 or 3 employees doing shots while half the bar is glaring at them, waiting for their check or their order or something. The jukebox can be painfully loud too.
- Pros: Great cheap food; stong, cheap drinks
- Cons: Jukebox is usually too loud; service can be HORRIBLE
