The Scene
You won't find many scene-setters or hard-core partiers here, and that's the reason the regulars keep coming back. With traditional hardwood furnishings, this petite, charming Inman Park pub is a home away from home for neighborhood locals. Many gather round the small, welcoming bar, while the rest settle down for the evening in one of the cozy booths. Decor is simple: A few bar tables huddle in the back, and one lone jukebox standing ready to entertain.
The Draw
Great for an after-work get-together or as an escape from the Highlands scene, this friendly hangout is never too full, never too empty. The bar's impressive imported beer list includes Germany's Dinkelacker, Scotland's Tennents and France's Fischer's La Belle, as well as local favorites, such as Sweetwater 420. Usual suspects, along with more international options, such as the veggie burrito and coconut shrimp, shape the bar menu.

Some people who choose to work in bars have never before had any power in their lives. When given the ability to say, not serve you, or tell you to leave the bar, or ignore your existence for a long period of time, they will do this just because they can. Basically its the same mentality as a homeowners association president. The bartender here is one of those people. He will try to wield every inkling of "power" he has as bartender. This baffles me because the whole point of being a bartender is to encourage people to attend your bar by being friendly. Having a d-bag bartender is a very bad business model, I don't know why the management chose to hire this fool. Anyway, you are warned customer.

I love the North highland Pub. Huge TVs for watching sports. Great during Hockey season if you're a Thrashers fan. Potter is one of the best bartenders ever and the wait staff is friendly and quick. The food is EXCEPTIONALLY good for pub food. I would go there everyday if I could afford it.

North Highland Pub has a lot going for it - surprisingly good food, great beer selection, stiff drinks, friendly patrons, really good jukebox, and it's away from the VaHi frat party between Ponce and Virginia. Here's the kicker though: The Monday through Thursday bartender is really good. The weekend bartender is one of the worst in history. If you're looking for a good place during the week, I highly recommend parking on the street (there's a valet nearby, but don't use it) and grabbing a seat at the bar. It's real easy to spend 3 or 4 hours drinking there on a Tuesday night and walk away having dropped only $30 or so. If you are looking for terrible service where the bartender ignores you, pours lousy drinks, acts like he's ticked off all of the time, and doesn't really want you to get a drink, much less have a good time then you should go there on a Friday or Saturday. That guy really is awful and we've tried to give him chance after chance but have given up on this place on the weekends, which is sad for us. Hey management - hope you read this and save your weekend business.
