GT's chosen college bar. Welfare Wednesdays and Thirsty Thursdays are the gameplan week to week.

Moondogs is a great spot for weeknights and weekends. I'm a big fan of Tuesdays with the free pool, darts and poker. Plus, the karaoke in the back room is always a blast. Drinks are extremely reasonably priced and the staff seems to go out of their way to personalize a great experience for me everytime I go. This has become my go-to casual bar in Buckhead. read more

I stopped back in here a few nights back as I've not been here in a while. The last time I was here was a year+ ago when economy was better. A new sign near the bar says 'we gladly pour more'. I ordered a Makers Mark. I was charged $6 which is a great price for Makers in *any* bar, never mind the stereotyped overpriced buckhead standards. My makers was poured HEAVY & STIFF - a great value for the money & well worth it. I tipped well on this one!. The crowd has not changed (see other reviews. Dittoes on the crowd here) but Moondogs is going to survive & be around for another 100 years. Worth the trip if this is your type of place. Pay-for-play juke box was awsome & volume was cranked to "11" -- perfect for Fri night. read more

Anytime I'm visiting the Buckhead area I always drop by Moondogs with a few friends. We've had the same waitress the last few times in the Karaoke room and she's always been great. Decent prices, good service, and a perfect place to bust out Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me"! read more

This is the quintessential Southern college bar replete with cute coeds, shaggy haired boys, and lots of Abercrombie and Fitch Khakis and Oxfords. They know their crowd, and keep the domestic beer cold and cheap, the Jager flowing, and the music cranking. Oh, to be young again. read more

I went here once with some friends in college before I knew the city well. It gave me a fear of Buckhead that persists to this day and has kept me from wanting to check out any restaurants and bars in the neighborhood. This place has a crappy beer selection and a crowd of former frat boys and sorority girls. read more

Here last night after Hole in the Wall. It's located above it and it's just as bad. Actually, compared to this place, I give Hole in the Wall 3 extra points. It's really big which is good, they have like multiple rooms for you to do stuff, darts, pool, karaoke, dance. Again, there's minimal seating. If you sit by the pool tables you might get hit or be in the way of the people playing. The place smells like wet dog, a smoke. and mold. My clothes reek, my hair reeks. Never going back here either. read more

Great fun atmosphere. Amazing bartenders. This place has something for everyone. Place is always packed on weekends they must be doing something right. Also, have poker on Tuesday's and Thursday's.i read more

It's a pretty typical college bar, complete with beer pong and stages to dance on. I can't say this place would be a bad time, it just wasn't particularly packed on a Saturday evening. The beer was cheap and flat, just like college! Seriously though, it's not my scene but I think with a different mindset and a few more people, this place can be fun. read more

.... typical frat boy hang out...and we all know where there are frat boys there are sorority girls..... so thats the crowd. here but if you come with your own group of friends you can still have a good time... if thats not your scene.. nice size... small dancefloor...well dance worthy music playing.. and pretty cheap beer... come in... its ok.... read more

I must be spoiled in Ohio, because it's illegal to smoke in bars here. When I went to Moondogs, all I could think was that I was suffocating from all the smoke. This couldn't even be masked by awesome drinks or a wonderful crowd... Stinky-ness was the overwhelming experience. Also the bathroom was disgusting. Drinks are basic, they don't do anything special or have great quality. Overall, I think this is probably a hot spot for kids with fake IDs or the elderly. Neither of which I have a problem with, but isn't the crowd I aim to be with on my weekend nights. read more

Came here FRI night after leaving Red Martini right next door at about 1am. This place has soooo many different areas to it. Free to get in. Younger mixed crowd. This place reminds me of Ormsbys on Howell Mill Rd. Various games, bars, karaoke, dance floors. Variation of music being played throughout. People were still pouring in this place at 1:15am when I was headed out. read more

I went here on a Wednesday night(welfare Wednesday) & it was great. The drinks were good, the music was good, there's free popcorn, and a lot of rooms depending on tour genre of music. The bar next door was packed to capacity also for a Wednesday night called the "hole in the wall" so it was a really nice vibe. read more

This place is nothing fancy, but it sure is a good time. The $1 vodka wells are always a win, and the different rooms are great to hang out with friends in. Plus, being right next door to Peachtree Tavern and Hole in the Wall make it easy to bar hop. read more

We came here and had a great time. Met some fun people and played flip cup and beer pong. They had two dollar vodka bombs which are pretty tastey but they only have them on certain days. My favorite part about this bar was the dog, Scout. His owner was a really nice guy too but I didn't catch his name. All the bartenders were friendly, even the security was nice. All over fun place. Can't wait to come back! read more

This is definitely a college bar. I have gone here for years and absolutely love the owner, Mike who cares for the place. There is ton to do with 3 bars, pool, beer pong, darts, and karaoke. Welfare Wednesday's means awesome deals but also means loud college crowd. I'll always love Moondogs and keep coming here for awesome times with my friends! read more

Was relatively cheap, but definitely a young college bar. Different rooms with things like beer pong and pool. Overall decent experience. A bit crowded on the weekends and if you're not okay with smoke, probably not the place for you. read more

ahhhh....college. Big drinks, and drunk kids. I would go back if I would not be considered the "old dude", at 30.

fun if you are not in college... I guess. This is more of a college hangout but, we had a group out having a good time and this place was def bearable because there was more room to breathe than other places. Had a good time with my friends! read more

I love this place to really go party. Mixed crowd (mostly younger now... or I'm just getting older~) went there for my Bachelorrette party and had a blast. Bartenders/bouncers are all very nice. Has lots of different rooms with different music and ambiances and themes. If you're just looking for a fun place to drink and dance with friends (and sometimes kareoke) this is the spot! read more

Atmosphere is electric up here in Buckhead. I trip on the white geeky people throwing down to rap but it's all about having a good time..lmao read more

Just really, really like this place. Can't beat the prices, karaoke, and other options.

Totally not frat-tastic. Absolutely nothing to be worried about for a girls night.

this the kind of place you go on any night. There will always be someone in there to speak with and the bartenders really are great. Drink prices are on the pricier side but still affordable. Nothing really stands out about this place. Great for beer pong and pool and other bar games but this place is just a cool average bar. read more

Moondogs was a fun place, huge bar with plenty of seating and lots of different schemes for the many bars to choose from in Moondogs. The drink prices are affordable and cheaper than most. The bartenders are very fast. Seems to follow the college crowd very well and the music is good. Good place to go to meet people and get a drink. read more

Don't go here with grandios dreams of Buckhead nightlife. If you 're looking for the posh scene then turn around and go elsewhere. Moondogs is the most fun I've had in Atlanta. It is more of a college scene. However, if you are looking for affordable valet, no cover, cheap drinks, and a good mix of people then you found it. Beer pong, dart boards, pool tables, and hot bartenders. 2 bars downstairs one across the street. Yea, it's that awesome! read more

Moondogs is a great place to go with your friends. The service is wonderful and the drinks are mixed pretty well. It gets a little crowded late night but there are numerous bars in the area to try as well. They've different events on specified days, and they have a hot dog cart outside! read more

Fun place defiantly check it out. College bar scene with lots to do darts, pool, pong, and more. Wednesdays seem to be one of their most popular days with really cheap drinks and lots of people. They have a giant lot in the back with a parking attendant trying to charge for parking when parking is no where near capacity. Pro tip: Park on the street or one of the adjacent lots for free: lots of parking and its easy to find. read more

Definitely a college bar (and sometimes high school kids). Some of my friends love coming here as they say, cheap drinks. I've gone here less than ten times of the years since I've been legal and I always experience the same "meh" feeling about this place. I would say it's a very run down bar and needs updating -- you can smell the old. You get what you pay for. They allow smoking here and you will see clouds of smoke here and there so you will leave smelling like cigarettes and smoke. The bar is large in size with multiple rooms (dance room with pole and bar; seating area with TVs; beer pong tables; dart tables; main bar area once you walk in; pool tables; and karaoke room). Restrooms are the scariest and sketchiest part about this bar. There is literally no light in the stalls. It's very difficult to flag down bartenders to order your drink. One time I was able to flag down a bartender, I quickly placed my order of Jack & Coke and he just stared at me, not really acknowledging whether or not he understood and walked away. How weird is that? The ONLY good thing about Moondogs is unlimited free and fresh popcorn. Like my review, MEH, I've experienced better. I'll stick with my Ormsby's. read more

Went here last night with my friends and the OWNER of the place was a total dick. We waited for 5 min being ignored by the bartenders for getting a drink he finally asked me what I wanted to drink. When I asked my friends what they wanted he said "Come on! You're holding up the line" and wouldn't take their order. He gave me my beer and said "$4.50 bitch" when I asked him if he had just called me a bitch he said "no I said $4.50 please" you don't confuse bitch with please no matter what. Then he wouldn't take my other 2 friends order. But my 3rd friend said it was her birthday and showed him her ID for a free drink he has the audacity to say "well are you also going to dance for me?" What kind of sick man is this? So rude and the WORST customer service I've ever had at moondogs. I'll never come here again. I'm sure he won't care but I'll never recommend this place to my friends. If I could give negative stars I totally would. read more

They ID at the front door, the venue is upstairs. There are so many rooms with all different music taste, each it's own bar, and activities like beer pong, pool, karaoke, life size Jenga blocks, and an EDM room with small platform stages! Such a great place on Wednesday's, Friday's, and Saturday's! Awesome vibes! read more

This place closes at 3:00 however they won't let you in at 2:20. I would never rexommend this place. Drinks over priced and bouncers provide terrible service I guess they want to continue making $8 an hour for the rest of their lives. read more

I've been going here for years. Overall a good place to go out. Parking has always been a problem here and has not gotten any better over the years. However, I must say the bartenders here are the best and always have been; whether you've been served by them for years or just seeing a new face. The bathroom situation is a little absurd...only a trough for the men and I've heard bad things about the women's room as well. I don't want this review to sound bad...like I said I love this place...spent a lot of time at this place...met my fiance at this place, Just want to point out all the things I've noticed over the years. The music on the side with the juke box is always pretty good and just loud enough to have fun but carry a conversation. However, on the side with the dance floor I can hear the same song over and over and over and over and over. It's too loud and the old guy who stands behind the bar all night (who I've also heard is the owner) maybe has a repertoire of ten songs. Just a thought...maybe spend more time running the business and less time ruining the music. But that's just me. Anyway, long story short, this is a great bar if your not into the club scene and enjoy having a fun night out with friends, being well taken care of by the bar staff and not spending your entire paycheck. read more

Marked by its Buckhead location on Peachtree, Moondogs sponsors a variety of well suited music to the millennial crowd. With nearly a half dozen pool tables, beer pong setups, karaoke stages and non-vip booths, there's plenty to get into at this bar. The music you'll find here is a mix of dubstep/edm, pop music, rock, and contemporary rap. The crowd is an even mix of Asian, Caucasian, and Black, though it tends to shy on a massive Latino presence. Drink prices are reasonable and you won't feel cheated in the slightest. The bar is usually pretty crowded yet the average wait for a drink is only 45 seconds max. As far as singles, this place sports great opportunities to meet college aged chicks and guys through karaoke, pool, and darts. The crowd is mostly group oriented, since most people arrive with 4-5 friends. Definitely a place to look into if you're in the Buckhead area on the weekend. read more

one of the few places i was dragged to on my birthday. im not a club girl but i like to think i can dance so thats what i did. like other reviewers mentioned, the floor was sticky and the bathroom was gross. i didnt notice the other patrons because i was with a group of friends and i think i was already "gone" by the time we got there. read more

As I was walking along peachtree I came across a display board advertising Texas Holdem. I am an avid player and love a good bar poker league so I figured sure, why not? As I approached the establishment the monochromatic color and stairs in the hallway leading up to this place are straight out of my nightmares. As I walked up the steps I didn't thoroughly examine the laundry list of things not to do or wear here such as "no white shirts, no excessive male jewelry, no baggy pants, no excessive talking, no chewing gum, no hope etc. etc." I missed the part about no bags as I had my laptop bag from work with me. As I opened the door at the top of the stairs an overwhelming loft of odor attacked my senses, imagine the sweet smell of cedar, excessive B.O. and that vegetable drawer you open and realize your asparagus has been in there a little to long. I took a quick gaze around before realizing that yes apparently there is a place where dreams indeed go to die. The smell was so strong that I wasn't interested in staying before the doorman stopped me at the door informing me that bags are not allowed. I appreciated his stance at enforcing their policies but also wanted to thank him, anymore time spent in that establishment and my clothing would have been through an extra wash and rinse cycle. The 30 seconds spent at there is reason enough why I've never once thought, yeah that place sounds like a good idea tonight. read more

Moondogs is the SHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIT I come here all the time! The staff is great and the drinks are great but you have got to stop giving me cranberry and vodka because i'll down 3 of them and think I don't taste the vodka but hen i'm on my ass you guys are just the bomb read more

Ended up here at the recommendation of our hotel bartender. From the outside, the place looks slightly questionable honestly, but not bad at all inside. Nice staff, cheap drinks, decent booze and a friendly (at least that night) clientele. I'd stop back in for a beer when I'm in Atlanta. read more

Cheap Drinks, Friendly People, No Cover,...each room feels like a different club!

I love this place. It's one of my favorite bars to go to! Definitely made for the younger adults! Great atmosphere, the owner is a really cool guy! He actually bought me and my friends a round the first time I ever visited this bar.. Real nice guy! The drinks are reasonably priced. The environment is very cool. I really like how each room is different. They have pool tables, dart boards, beer pong tables, table seating, a mini club, I mean they have everything you need for a good time! And did I mention free popcorn?! Haha overall this place is nothing short of a good time! The only downfall is that occasionally you'll run into some idiots, but what bar won't that happen to you at? If you're looking for a good time and good drinks. This is the place to be at! read more
