What People Are Saying About Little 5 Points Corner Tavern

Featured Review

In Short This modish nightspot commands one of the city's trendiest intersections at the junction of hip Moreland and even hipper Euclid, where avant-garde fashion meets slacker chic. An expansive metallic-topped bar groans under the weight of bottles while friendly and foxy servers draw "draughts" and make time with overflow patrons inside who escape the crowds on the open-air patio and pack the pool room. The tavern's interior feels like a Brit-hip pub with dusty floors and woodwork while the adjoining terrace offers classic stonework, whirring ceiling fans and views of pool players and…

Editor's Tips

When to Go:
A good--and less crowded--time to come is on weeknights for a casual meal or for after-theater drinks and a showcase of the fascinating passersby.
The Extras:
Pool tables are often open during the week, so come out, grab a beer and work on your game when the heavy-hitters are away.
Parking:
There is limited parking at this active intersection. Find a secure side street and park down Euclid or pay to park in the lot behind 7 Stages and Variety Playhouse.

Thieves!

by fistuk

Stay away from Corner Tavern unless you like getting ripped off. I just found out this week that the tips go to the restaurant owner and not the servers.

Yes, you may pay the same amount, but it's still unethical. 100% of the tip money should go to the servers. If the restaurant is not making enough money, they should be upfront about it and charge more - not be sneaky and steal your money.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

BEST Corner Tavern for sure. The people that work there always feel like friends if you know them or not.

Amazing food and a nice chill place to hang.

Two thumbs up!

Atlanta Staple

by moloch

Regardless of what melmelcoolj and other snooty OTP (Outside the Perimeter) suburbanites with which Atlanta is rather unfortunately plagued may believe about the function of a TAVERN such as Corner TAVERN, this is a great place to grab a beer or twelve at nearly any time of the day or night. The bartenders are knowledgeable and make drinks like they're supposed to be made. The beer menu is extensive and offers selections from all types of beer, usually from the best breweries for those beers. The food, though a SECONDARY factor for a TAVERN, is quite delicious, with many of your bar food favorites and some dishes fit for more complex pallets.

Highly recommended spot for drinkers and seekers of fun.

Not recommended for OTP families.

  • Pros: Great bar, great beer, great service, great people
  • Cons: Quit takin' my damn ashtray! I know, servers, it's your job, but the manager can seriously take a breather on this one.

Yum and Atmosphere basicaly describe it

by solarisguardian

The Corner Tavern has unusual and interesting food offerings---not your typical bar and grill fare. I think the cooks really ought to be called "chefs", and not in the least for the daily inventive cuisine specials! Personal favorites from the regular menu are: the Black Bean Burger (they've made it more tasty than any "real" burger I've ever had), the wonderful Tomato Basil soup, and the Hawaiian Chicken Salad---grilled chicken with awesome greens, grilled pineapple, and other fresh salad veggies... have the House Vinegrette for the very best taste!

Many like the New York style fresh french fries---I personally don't care for them, but find their onion rings a great substitute for a side. As for the atmosphere... it's a laid-back, eclectic pub: not a rave date-hunting spot, but rather a place where you can relax, have fun, and be thoroughly welcomed by the friendly staff and weathered-but-retro surroundings. Honorable mention to the fact that they offer some unusual drinks, including Smithwick's (one of the finest red beers I've ever had, and very hard to find, even in liquor shops). If you want a date-hopping bar, try somewhere else---if you want your local pub where everyone hangs out to have fun, try here.

  • Pros: Consistent awesome food and drinks, great staff overall, atmosphere warm, cozy, and eclectic.
  • Cons: Staff changes may mean awesome or so-so wait service; give them another try if you get a newbie you don't like, the first time.

NOT RECOMMENDED - 3RD TIME

by melmelcoolj

We tried the place three times to give it the benefit of the doubt and always had terribly slow & rude servers, cold food that took forever to come out, over-priced drinks and a stale atmosphere. Little Five would be a better place without this so-called Tavern.

And by the way, I've written the same review THREE TIMES and they keep erasing it. I wonder how many other criticsms have been ERASED?????

This place deserves a ZERO just because they can't own up to some criticsm. City Search should really do something about this.
