What People Are Saying About Hudson Grille - Brookhaven
The Editor
Brian Suber
Contributor
In Short – Brought to Brookhaven by the culinary creators of Joe's on Juniper, Einstein's and Cowtippers, this tavern has been a central part of the renaissance of the local scene in this burgh, north of Buckhead. A muted, wood-grain interior with spacious seating and cozy booths is what you'd expect from a boisterous-yet-upscale sports bar, where flat-panels constantly screen the latest highlights. The middling menu of burgers and sandwiches do in a pinch but lack personality. Opt for the ahi tuna wrap or crab cake sandwich to steer away from the jockish eats. What the menu may lack,…

More girls than a club
by foody1234 at Citysearch
This place is swarming. Saturday becomes an all day hangout, fair warning. You will end up staying until two in the morning so be prepared. Why go to a cheesy club when their are ladies here who love sports and are down to earth. Wings use real Anchor Bar sauce, for those in the know this is official. If you haven't had anchor bar sauce, you haven't had the best wings you'll ever have yet.
50+ beers on tap and some crazy guinness combos!
- Pros: Attractive Ladies
- Cons: did you read the pros?

What happened to the Hudson Grille
by Rhonda121 at Citysearch
I used to be a regular at the Hudson Grille. Watching the Dawgs play every Saturday and the Steelers every Sunday. My boyfriend competed in the Wing Bowl two years in a row. We came in the Saturday before the Super Bowl and my boyfriend was looking to enter and beat the competition and sure enough, they weren't even having a wing bowl. Nobody even knew what it was. I was looking for some of my favorite people and found out that they had moved on. And the management staff doesn't seem to care now. Thinking maybe they were just in a rut, we came in to check the place out last night for the Carolina/Duke game. Sat a hightop in the bar and the game sound wasn't even on. Nobody was talking about basketball and my server didn't even know anything about it. This used to be the best sports bar in Atlanta. Now it seems like it's somehow transformed back into Jocks and Jills. But at least now we know where we'll be for the NCAA Tournament. Somewhere other than Hudson Grille.
- Pros: None

How can this be a Metrotainment restaurant?
by Southernbelle16 at Citysearch
My girlfriends and I have a girls nite every week and we had put it off for awhile, but being as close as it was to home, we finally caved in and went to the Hudson Grille. Knowing that the company that owned them ran the same dreary boring restaurants, I was expecting the worst. But we had a great time. The atmosphere was electric. Unlike some of the other concepts, there was actually exciting music instead of the same Frank Sinatra garbage that puts me to sleep. We had martinis and they were fabulous. And the bar was full of people our age, not like some of the other bars in the area that are full of dirty old men. Our server was engaging and cute. We even wound up running into him later that night at another nightspot and he was even more delightful. It was so much more fun and female-friendly than their other concepts. It wasn't flamboyant or full of people that were flaunting what they are. We didn't have a server with a lisp or an attitude. The salads we had were great. The ahi tuna salad was flavorful, the lettuce was crisp, and the entire dish was aesthetically pleasing. The only downside we could see was that this restaurant was so far above and beyond the other Metrotainment restaurants. And going into the location at Perimeter mall, you could see the difference. It is abundantly clear that Perimeter is a Metrotainment restaurant. The food, which happens to be the same menu as Brookhaven, wasn't close to the same in taste or presentation. The kinda place where you can hear a pin drop because nobody would ever go there for a good time. The one in Brookhaven is a different more inviting place. We didn't have to worry about being loud or having fun. And from the management team down, there was a feeling that this place was fun no matter which side of table you were on. I don't know how this company can own two of the worst sports bars in Atlanta (Perimeter, Cheyenne Grille) and the one of the best in the south (Brookhaven).
- Pros: An exciting place every time you go in
- Cons: The other Hudson Grilles are not the same experience
