What People Are Saying About Highlander

The Scene
This dimly lit, neon-beer sign cluttered Midtown bar houses a diverse crowd of rowdies, serious drinkers and patrons looking for a pre or post-movie cocktail. Once inside this popular hangout, tucked in the crowded Midtown Promenade strip mall, a long comfortable bar and dining room greet you. To the right, find an even larger game room with dartboards, foosball, pinball machines, a pool table and an air hockey game. Service is no-nonsense but good.
The Draw
Go there for well-priced pitchers and serious boozing, but stay to grab some top-notch bar chow and to catch up on an ole' English football game. Serious hamburgers and melts are at the top of the grub list, followed closely by pitchers of tater tots (available with chili, cheddar cheese, onions or all the way), respectable nachos and creamy, garlicky hummus. In the summer, a patio spills out the front of the bar making for some decent people watching.

Has been and always will be my favorite bar in Atlanta! The staff is great,food is good and the drinks are strong. The day regulars and the night regulars always make it interesting and if you know them you know them for life.. When the Highlander parties it parties like there's no tomorrow.

The Highlander's an excellent dive of place to shoot some pool, drink some Jaegermeister, and meet a few new friends (whom you won't remember the next day). Don't be scared off by its appearances: the metal on the jukebox and the tattooed waitstaff belie the general friendliness of the place: it's quite common for roughnecks to cue up with suits from the city, and it's a great vibe. Oh, and the food is surprisingly good, too. (One urban legend holds that a 'tater tot dropped on the ground won't last very long, because that rats will get it. Well, those rats have good taste!)

this is my fav late night place to hang out and grab dinner or a quick/cheap (pbr pitchers) beer. the hot spinach salad is delicious. ive also had the burgers, veggie quesadillas, and mozz cheese sticks. all very good. the best part is they serve food very late so if you are looking for a really tasty good late night snack, this here is your place. also, the staff and decor is slightly punk/goth but it shouldn't bother you too much unless you are trying to "see and be seen" (this is not that kind of place). also, don't go if you aren't into dive bars and can't handle very loud music blasting while you eat.
