What People Are Saying About 97 Estoria

Featured Review

Erin Behan

Contributor

The Scene – Though a rustic hunting lodge feel pervades the main dining and bar area, its rough edges are softened by avant-garde touches--a characteristic the bar shares with its neighborhood. Groups of Cabbagetown pioneers sidle up to tables and booths where wine glasses intermingle with PBR drafts and lime-garnished Coronas. Friendly conversation drifts from the singles at the bar, aided by the amiable barkeep. The ample wood patio offers a relaxed place to take in the historic residential neighborhood. – – The Draw – This is a neighborhood spot through and through,…

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
97 Estoria is vegetarian friendly. Falafel, black bean burgers and veggie quesadillas keep the meat averse happy.
The Extras:
You might not find any SUVs in the parking lot, but you can get your oversized fix on with the 40-ounce PBR and aptly named Big Sapporo.

Relaxed Vibe, Friendly People

by Casey Horton

Its off-the-beaten path location is perfect for the laid-back vibe it exudes. Inside you’ll find a warm and cavernous spot to throw back drinks without breaking the bank. And the people there? I’ve never once been that I didn’t end up chatting with some stranger next to me. You can’t get much friendlier and well, “neighborhoody” than this place.

OLD FOOD

by Echosteam

Some of the most disgusting meals ever. Could be a cool place if they cleaned it up a bit. Always smells like foul beer and the food always seems not so fresh. Friends got sick there and we will not be back.

  • Pros: Great spot
  • Cons: Horrible service,Gross food
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Cabbagetown at it's finest!

by JME2K3

Before I went to Estoria for the first time I looked it up here to read the reviews.

It's astounding to me that people whine and complain about service at a CHEAP BAR! That's not what you're going there for. You're going there for the relaxed atmosphere, the cheap food, and the cold beer. This place has it ALL.

I live in the Stacks lofts right down the street, so it's SUPER convenient for me. I go every Tuesday and whenever else I can. The food is always great, the service is always friendly and attentive. I mean what can you expect?

I've always found the staff super friendly and easy to talk to. You may have to flag them down to get something you need, and they might forget to bring your ketchup out for your fries, but that's what's SO great about it. It's just a down to earth place to enjoy yourself.

Keep up the good work everyone!

  • Pros: AWESOME burgers and AMAZING fries
  • Cons: can get chilly during the Winter months. Wrap up!

Horrible Service

by kokoATL

My husband and I have been to 97 Estoria many times since it opened. Over the past year or so, the service has gone way down hill. It was never great, but now it's horrible. Last night, we went there for a pitcher and some dinner. We ordered food. After an hour, it still had not showed up. People who ordered at least 30 minutes after us had their food. My husband went in to check it out. The waitress and the manager basically said "Too bad, the order was put in, it just hasn't shown up. You're being irrational" We were left with no other choice but to walk out. This happend to us at the Earl a year or so ago. The waitress and the manager came over, apologized, and comped the whole meal (there were 4 of us dining that time). THAT is what I call great service. And we have been back many times to enjoy Atlanta's best burger...The Earl Burger.

We will never EVER be returning to Estoria. This place is dead to me. The food wasn't that great anyway.

  • Pros: it's close to my house
  • Cons: service, food, too loud, annoying hipsters
