Righteous Room

I was in atlanta for a short weekend and circumstances were odd... my friend took me to the righteous room. it was in a great spot, near a theatre and across the street from a buiding i was told was once owned by al capone...? either way it was trully genuine and appreciative service, delicious food and the best juke box i have had the pleasure to play in a long time... The bathroom walls are strewn with attempted poetry and artwork, something to see. the owner patrick was especially attentive, generous and charming. loved the spot, wish i lived there...

Last night after leaving the Plaza Theater, for my retro movie house fix, we went next door to still one of the coolest little joints in town, with one of the best jukeboxes, anywhere. We ordered a couple of cold ones, from one tatooted out dude, who was just cool and very nice. My fave here always, is the big sloppy grilled cheese, and I have them put a couple of slices of bacon on. Talking about the ultimate comfort food. Cheese, cheese, and more cheese. My buddy had the veggie burger, while turning up his nose at my bacon. But we both got down on those onion straws. Killer jukebox, loudly playing the Righteous Brothers, "You've Lost That Lovin Feelin". And I always loose that feeling, when I walk out the door, of this little hip, cool spot on Ponce!

Pros: Big, Flat, Sloppy Grilled Cheese Sandwich & Killer Juke Box! Hip Service!

Cons: Parking Can Be Tight!

All Hail the Righteous Room. They have an amazing jutebox, and clientel who use it to its potential. The service at the RR is dead on the money. They just don't miss a beat. The manager great. And the food wonderful. Best salad in town. How 'bout the black-eyed-pea chili? Brilliant! You can even get a decent glass of wine.

Great drinks, but some of the females that work there need to not be in such a bad mood all of the time.

Pros: drinks

Cons: female staff

It was girls night out & someone suggested this place. We were a little disappointed at first, b/c it's nothing special for a girls-night-out. . but the food was yummm & the drinks were reasonably priced. Not the place to go for a HOT night on the town, but definately a place to go and just chill out.

Pros: good food, reasonable prices

Cons: kind of a dive

This is a great little pub with good draft beer and good munchies- Zero pretention and a great place to meet up with friends before an Indie film at the LeFont. The service can be horrible though. We had two servers who were completely rude on the same evening. It may have been something in the air that night. One ignored us after we were sitting there for 30 minutes because it was the end of her shift and she didn't want to bother with us...and made that very clear. The next one who took her place didn't wipe our table and acted completely rude as if it was a colossal pain to take our order. I find it odd that you have to pay for the tortilla chips when you order guacamole or another dip. Park at the supermarket across the street if lot is full.

Pros: Cool Vibe, Strong Drinks, Good Munchies

Cons: Poor Service, Parking

Righteous Room is by far the best neighborhood bar. The service is awesome and the jukebox and dim atmosphere provide for a nice relaxing evening. The food is incredible . . best wings ever!!

Pros: Service, Atmosphere, Affordable

EVERYTHING about the Rightous Room is FAB-U-LOUS except for the one sourpuss waitress. I don't think she knows how to smile. So sad.

It's the best restaurant that I've been to here. The food is great.. They have the best fish & chips (not on the menu.. they're so excellent). The service is also great. The servers are all friendly, and they have one of the best looking waiters!

Pros: hot waiter, fish & chips, good beer

I don't know what it is about the ATL and Strip Malls, but they tend to be a haven for decent food-- The Righteous room is a good bar w/ great bar food. Everything I've ever had was great. It isn't haute cuisne, but for bar food / sandwiches this can't be beat. Great Hummus Plate, Veg. Burgers, Turkey Wraps, etc... Quality is good enough to forget it is in a strip mall on Ponce...
