The goodlife at 255...

by Chris Harrison

255 in Castleberry Hills is the best place for Monday night football. Its a good atmosphere to chill and relax. People actually go to watch football and not just to hookup.The baby turkey burgers is my #1 choice on the menu.The beer is on tap and it's plenty of mixed drinks to choose from. Oh yeah, the cabanas on the back patio is the spot especially when I want to step out with my lady or chill with my boys. I enjoyed watchin' the Dolphins drill the Jets last night!!

I go to 255 often and can always expect a good time. The drinks and food is always good. I love the baby angus burgers and the wings. The patio is the spot to be especially on a Saturday night. The dj is always live and plays the best hits from the old to the new!!! Keep doin your thing...

255 is the place to be

by Marcusbrown

Are you ready for some Football!!! Monday Night Football

hasn't been the same since last Monday at 255 Tapas Lounge.The beer is on tap and and food is "BANGIN". Oh man, the back patio atmosphere is so fierce..... It has become my favorite spot to chill and kick back to watch the game. I love the way management walks around and makes sure everything is in place. Not only is the waitress nice,but their also beautiful..The Angus signature baby burgers are my favorite.......

• Pros: Best tapas lounge in town

MMMM....mmmm...Good

by SdotMorant

Me and my boyfriend went to 255 for the first time about a month ago at around 130 am on a Saturday. One of the only reasons at the time was the fact that their kitchen was STILL open. That was the first thing that won me over.

When we arrived, there was no seating so we thought it was a wrap. However, more than one server was eager to assist us. When we finally decided that we were going to order something to go, the server informed us that she would take our order and keep an eye open for a table. As soon as one did, she sat us down and we then waited for our food. Although it took extremely long and my boyfriend became agitated, the manager, Don made us feel so at home and relieved our negativity with his exceptional hospitality. He was extremely understanding and not 2 mention gave us a round of shots just because he was apologetic for the wait.

I have been back to 255 at least once a week since that day.

I guess you kinda can say it has become one of my favorites. I like the atmosphere and the staff and I DEFINITELY LOOOOOVE THE FOOOOD!!!!!

• Pros: affordable and perfect for late nite food
• Cons: I Can't think of any right now.

Bar Food, Not Tapas

by ATLFoodie

I don't get this place. I should have looked at the menu before dining here. The menu is full of bar food, not tapas. After having lived in Barcelona, I had higher expectations. This place is more of a bar with food to soak up the alcohol. The music is too loud and it is way too crowded. I'll pass.

• Pros: Baby burger
• Cons: Loud

Small plates and frozen specialty drinks lure loungers into the up-and-coming Castleberry Hill.

by Jonathan Baker

In Short
This slick addition to the bustling Peters Street scene might put "tapas" in the title, but this is less-Latin-bistro and more restaurant-turned-lounge. The space is beautifully indicative of the neighborhood, with an open store front, brick encasing and mini-tiered levels for social optimization. Traditional tables are nixed in favor of high top bar counters and loungey outdoor cabanas, while the menu compiles small plates of bar standards. Without a single true Latin item to be found, this menu is hardly "tapas," but the food is good enough to forgive them for the culinary miss-call. Baby burgers (sliders) come stocked with everything from steak to crab cakes and no one item is more than $10. The drink of choice is a neon-colored icy concoction that looks and tastes like a Slushpuppie, appropriately poured into a plastic cup and is loaded enough for even the highest tolerance.

Excellent Food and Drinks

by taylorsyl

I visited the lounge on a Friday around 5:30pm with a friend. First, we thought the decor was excellent and layout was done very well. The venue definitely keeps in line with the Castleberry Hills "loft" ambience. We ordered several items from the tapas menu and everything tasted "great". The server was friendly and attentive. We made it there before the evening crowd arrived, but we enjoyed it and will definitely return. Bathroom gets 2 thumbs up! Great potent cocktails as well.

• Pros: Ambience, Food, Service, Drinks
• Cons: no drink special on Fridays

Great Food, Good Times!!!

by lionlike

This place definitely was a pleasant surprise. After eating greasy foods and watered down drinks served by the other bars in the areas, it was a relief to have my taste buds craving for more. I absolutely love the frosted drinks they serve, especially on a hot day. The pina-colada is my absolute favorite, and even more enjoyable while sitting on the deck enjoying the serenity of their fountain. As far as the menu, I love their coconut shrimp and I am a big fan the infamous "lord of the rings" burger (which I usually get in Turkey). The food is fulfilling and very inexpensive.

I am very much a fan of the management, who has always made me feel very welcome. I have brought friends by and we all have a great time, including dates. I highly recommend this place if you are ever in the area for a quick getaway or are looking to meet cool new people while out for the evening.

• Pros: Food, atmosphere, people, drinks (love the frosted drinks and patio!!!)
• Cons: Parking can be a problem

A BAR or A CLUB????

by working4u

I've been attempting to contact one of the "so-called" managers for a party but to no avail. I can't believe that these people run a business but are unavailable to take calls. I was given cards from two different managers and told to call anytime I was ready and I've called them both on their cell phones and at their venue only to get a full voicemail or a ringing phone with no answering service. I can't imagine these people are able to run a successful business this way. I can't imagine they'll be in business very long if they can't make sure people are able to get through to them. On top of all that, I was skeptical to even use the venue for my party, I've been there a few times and although the food is good, the service so-so the place seems to be more of a fake club than a bar lounge. The music is often times way too loud for a bar/lounge atmosphere. If I'm going to a bar/lounge I want to be able to sit down and enjoy the atmosphere and have conversation. The few times I've been there I can barely hear my friend next to be talking. We had to scream over the music and the other people who were screaming over the music just to hear ourselves. These people seem confused and I would warn anyone who'd think of having an event there to visit them a few times first.
