Editorial Review for Little Five Corner Tavern – by Brian Suber
The Scene
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. Black-and-white photos of Atlanta's heyday adorn the walls.
The Draw
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 street-corner hustlers. Comfy booths and a few out-of-the-way corner tables allow for private conversations but the street-side seating is where the real action happens. The menu is a reliable mix of salads, apps, sandwiches and entrees, such as salmon roulade or chicken mushroom capers.

Insider Tips
ParkingThere 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.
When to GoA 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 ExtrasPool tables are often open during the week, so come out, grab a beer and work on your game when the heavy-hitters are away.

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.

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.
