The Scene
Found in the heart of the hipster haven that is East Atlanta, this inviting little bar lacks the catty scene of its neighbors. As a result, it attracts an older crowd, making it more neighborhood pub than pick-up joint. Local art, warm colors, a friendly staff and a well-stocked jukebox invite the diverse crowd to sample a decent selection of beer, with up to 10 draught selections, and a diverse bar-food menu.
The Draw
The crowd comes for a casual drink but doesn't mind staying for the food. In addition to bar-food standards like burgers and wings, try appetizers like the simple but tasty spinach and feta dip served with pita points or the bar's homemade hummus. Avoid the inspired but ultimately disappointing "ultimate dip," a concoction of veggie chili, black beans, cheddar, onions and peppers. The burgers are above average, but can't compete with the neighboring burger at The Earl.

The food is good, the atmosphere is lively and the beer has plenty of choices. This hangout is a must for a complete EAV experience. If you are headed to EA just for the Flatiron then I should mention the parking which is scarce to say the least. Once you find safe haven for your car then try to get the most E. Atlanta you can. Do some shopping, get a drink one place and then have lunch or dinner at the Flatiron. The atmosphere is very rich here as this is one of the oldest buildings in East Atlanta.

the flatiron is absolutely my "cheers." i have a drink waiting for me before i can sit down at the bar. the waitstaff knows my name and my friends' names. it's the most comfy place i can think of in the world. the food is great, the drinks are potent, the staff is amazing, and you'll never walk in and not find a friend there. i cannot say enough great things about this place, my "second home."

My boyfriend and I had to wait forever to get our drink orders taken, and when we finally got the attention of the waitress she was incredibly rude. This was a horrible experience. I will never go back there again.
