Editorial Review for Gravity Pub – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
This neighborhood bar could have been a used bookstore in a former life. A musty den, complete with books, couches and an old globe, sits a few steps above the rest of the room. Thrift store furniture, vinyl booths and thumb-tacked Polaroids make up the homespun decor. The basement, which offers foosball, pool and video games, makes a frat house look like the Biltmore House.
The Draw
It's the best place to brave the overhyped seediness of East Atlanta. The crowd is a friendly mix of East Atlanta hipsters and sightseers: guys in Atari T-shirts who don't watch sports, trustafarians, loners reading Ginsberg at the bar, Virginia-Highland yuppies rebelling and folks on their way to a show at the Earl. If you stick to places like Gravity, you'll find the faces that helped take other intown neighborhoods off the brink.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasAfter the Gravity Pub, go on an old-fashioned bar crawl through East Atlanta.
Know Before You GoAll the games downstairs require at least one 25-cent piece. The bartenders will give you change, but avoid the wait and pack your own.

I have been suckling at the Gravity for years and years, and it has never done me wrong. I was sad to see it close temporarily, but I've been a couple times since the re-opening and it's basically the same old place. The decor, (as it were) has improved a bit, new floors, etc, but still the same sort of crew and old Gravity feel. As the old stickers said, "Gravity Pub....Not For Everyone". But if you are one, you will feel right at home.
Pros: Will drag you into a drunken world of wonderful proportions.
Cons: Gets crowded on the weekends. So does everywhere else. Live with it.

Great group of people to hang out with and THE BASEMENT WILL BE OPEN SOON! This place has had it's ups and downs, and it is on the way up. New Menu and lots of fun! Tues. is TACO night, and Sunday Brunch is great. They tell me the basement will be re-opened soon with games and stuff. Cool! Great place to hang out, and meet people too. REG's are at home. CHEERS! Atmostphere.
Pros: New crew, new food and good location
Cons: Kinda small, until the basement gets the go ahead.
