La Chouffe Belgium Beer ($12)
Tia R.

Come for the games. Pay attention to the menu. I ordered a tasty non alcoholic beer for $12. Imagine my surprise paying a cocktail price for a beer with no alcohol. Loved the bottle and art work though. The empanadas were ok, I liked the crust but the filling and sauce could be better. Lastly I ordered the vegetable curry and added shrimp. The shrimp were grilled to perfection but the curry could have been spicier in my opinion. Overall I've been here before to play bar games and drink with friends and I think that's the best part of this place. I won't be coming back just for dinner. Thank you for the parking validation and for the server who exchanged my husband's burger. Inside is chilly but outside has bugs, pick your battle.

Sticky Chicken Sandwich with broccoli
Travin W.

Went for a surprise party. I was surprised myself to see the restaurant was split levels with games on the lower level as well. It has a kind of sports bar feel to it that encourages socialization with all patrons. The food was also good. Our server was working very hard trying to keep up since we had a large party but a great time was had overall.

Shrimp and grits
Jalal B.

Gorgeous establishment serving delicious food and a hotspot for fun, free group games on the lower floor. I ordered the shrimp and grits and was treated to a generous shrimp portion smothered in a delicious sauce and richly flavored grits. Cheap drinks. Their cooked peanuts were delicious; I've never had anything of the sort -- marinated in a thick, dark spicy sauce. The expansive basement is filled with fun, free group games that my group of 1 12 was able to enjoy on a Saturday night, free of line (several bocce courts, shuffleboard, giant uno).

Chocolate Chip Donut Bread Pudding
La Juania M.

This place is a two for one deal. Upstairs is your normal restaurant and bar and then downstairs is a bar and game area. They have pool, skeeball, board games and etc. the service and food was left much to be expected. I had a grill chicken sandwich which was just plain and blah. Also the bread pudding needed something. First to be heated up and second ice cream. I felt the best part was the pickle. Now my friends I was there with enjoyed their sandwiches. Our server seems to get ghost a lot. When we got our food we wanted some sauces and our server didn't come back till almost we were done.

Rowdy Reuben with Cole slaw
Tess S.

I've been here quite a few times and it's exceptional. The food is delicious, their upscale pub / speakeasy atmosphere is beautiful, and their downstairs bar and game area is fantastic and rowdy on a Friday or Saturday night. They have great cocktails, craft beers, and wonderfully memorable food. And great service! I like to take people here whenever I can because it always feels like the perfect kind of place for most occasions - whether it's with a friend, on a date, a lunch with colleagues, or going solo, for lunch, dinner, or grabbing drinks. By looking on google, it might be hard to piece together that the pool tables and games are downstairs - not where their seating is on the main floor, where you enter. Some people may think it's more of a dive bar kind of vibe, but no all of these things are downstairs.

FGT BLT and Fries
Gregory B.

Tasted as expected for a bar, not bad though. Huge serving of fries that were nice and crispy, the bread for the BLT was soft and tasted good. Would recommend the same items if you're going, but if you're not a tomato fan, I would look at something else.

Hand-Cut Fries
Candyce V.

I had a situation where I felt uncomfortable and unsafe due to the actions of another patron, and the staff immediately came to my aid and handled things professionally. For that reason alone, Ormsbys has gained me as a new regular and I'll always support them. I truly appreciate how everyone came together to help me and turn my crummy evening around. Oh yeah since I should mention food somehow, the hand-cut fries and dipping sauces made in-house were the perfect bar appetizer.

The food is good especially the burger. The service wasn't that great but I've coke other times and it was better. Very dim lit & gaming ambiance. To have a few drinks and play some board games with friends, check them out.

Bocce Ball
Anand D.

I have been coming to Ormsby's for about 10+ years now, and it's proven to be quite a staple in the Midtown neighborhood. This time around I came with my wife, and some family that was in from out of town. We only came for drinks, but they do have a full menu as well. The service is pretty good, but it can get quite sloppy when it's super busy, which is a fair trade-off. There is an upstairs and a downstairs area. The upstairs area is much more tame than the downstairs area. Upstairs you can have a conversation where you don't have to yell so much, but when you're downstairs, especially on a weekend, it gets extremely loud. Ormsby's has a bunch of different board games in addition to 2 full bocce ball courts downstairs as well. Ormsby's is definitely the type of place you go to with a group of people. It's not exactly a date night spot, in my opinion. It's located right in the Westside Provisions District, so it's close to many other restaurants as well. I would recommend coming to Ormsby's for drinks either before or after an outing. The food is good, but the vibe is more-so of a drinking one, not an eating one. There is a parking deck attached to this entire retail space, but I am not too entirely sure if they validate parking or not. I would suggest using ride-share, so you don't waste time and money trying to find parking. Orsmby's is definitely a fun spot that you won't regret going to! I'll be back for sure.

Old fashioned
Jordan H.

Visited this establishment recently to grab a few drinks with the family. This is a dive bar that has a variety of food ranging with an emphasis on small bites and finger foods. They also have a bunch of games and TVs for your enjoyment. I'd say this place is about 2-3 dollar signs so it's not the cheapest but not super expensive. I had no issues with the service and all of the employees were super attentive. There are also plenty of paid parking areas available in the vicinity. I'd definitely recommend this spot for a night out.

Attila the Hen
Megha D.

Ormsbys has always been a staple Georgia Tech bar, but I recently checked it out for dinner with a friend back in town. Parkingwise, you can find street parking or park in one of the decks either for Westside Provisions or Interlock. Inside, I usually go downstairs where there's a great bar with games like pool, darts, and backgammon. This time, we sat ourselves upstairs. Our waitress was quick to serve us and was also helpful with letting us know about substitutions. I had the Attila the Hen with a side of sauteed mushrooms. My chicken sandwich was really delicious, juicy, and I loved the flavored mayo! The mushrooms were also delicious. Overall, Ormsbys is always a solid choice!!

See all

Atlantic Station

My sister & I went to Yard House on a whim after a failed movie attempt since it was close by, and…read morewe hadn't eaten dinner yet. Thankfully, we were seated right away, despite there being a decent sized crowd. I've been to Yard House several times and like their extensive menu because they truly have something for everyone (I'm not a vegetarian, but they offer several vegetarian options on their menu). I especially loved being able to order directly from the tablet at the table. It made everything super convenient, and I didn't have to wait on my server to get things started. Since it was already kind of late, I kept it simple and ordered the hand-battered chicken tenders appetizer...I know childish lol. I appreciated that even though it was listed as an appetizer, it automatically came with fries, because chicken tenders and fries just go together like peanut butter and jelly right? It was a great, cost-effective ($13.99) option, but was still filling. The portion size was good - six tenders and a basket of fries. The food came out hot and fresh, so no complaints there. I paid right on the tablet and was out the door. Also, if you're wondering about parking, this location is at Atlantic Station, so there is available parking in the parking deck, and it's always free for two hours.

I've never been disappointed in food service at a chain in a while. I came here last night for a…read morelate night bite and a little watch for March Madness. I waited at my high top for about 15 minutes before someone came and I put in an order for queso with meat and a margarita. I had 3 more people meeting me at this table and 25 minutes go by and still no food or drink. After about 30 minutes my burnt queso with no ground beef comes. My 3 people move to the bar and I ended up cashing out AND tipping because I just wanted to move to the bar for faster service. I go to the bar and my friends have their drinks and I'm still waiting on mine and I cheers with a fist to just join in. 5 minutes go by and I finally get my margarita. The bar area was better but we wanted to watch the GA game on March Madness. We were told by 3 staff members that they were not allowed to turn the tv to watch a GA game and were sitting at an Atlanta, GA bar. As always, we tipped both servers because everything isn't their fault but this Yardhouse location will never see me again.

I've been to Cypress Street Pint & Plate a few times and just realized I never left a review, so…read morehere we go! We stopped in for a team lunch and had a great experience. Our server was fast, friendly, and kept everything moving smoothly. I ordered the Cypress cheeseburger and fries, which is actually my go-to here. The burger is consistently good -- not huge but not small either, just the right size to leave you full and satisfied. The fries? Nothing fancy, just good old basic fried potatoes. But they came out hot and crispy, so no complaints from me! LOL. The real highlight of the table was the blackened redfish. Two people in our group ordered it and both loved it! Overall a solid lunch spot with good service and tasty food. I'll definitely be back. Strong 4/5 for me.

My friend, Angie, lives close to this restaurant and bar, so we are frequent visitors to Cypress. I…read morealways have delicious food and drinks, so it gets five stars. The bartenders are always on point, while the servers aren't always as attentive as I'd like, but this place is usually packed, so I give grace. There is a variety of seating at Cypress: patio seating, regular tables, high-top tables, inside bar seats, and inside tables or high-tops. If it is Christmas time, there is a fantastic pop-up in the back, near the restrooms. Always check out their special menu as it changes, and if the pimento cheese balls are on it, then you must get them as they are our favorite! We love to come here on Wednesday night for the best deal in town, Pie and Vine, in which you get a pizza and a bottle of wine for $20. Yep, that is not a misprint $20. I love the mushroom pizza, but my meat-lover friends like the one with peperoni and sasage. If I'm eating at Cypress, then it is hard to pick what I get because they have so many options. To start or be my meal would be the KIMCHI BRUSSELS SPROUTS, CRISPY TUNA RICE, or wings. I am a big, huge fan of their salads. I like them all and add grilled, blackwned, or buffalo chicken, salmon, or grilled shrimp to them. I have never had a burger, but my friends love them. I need to try the black bean one day. I enjoy their SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN TENDERS and the BUFFALO CHICKEN sandwich.

I quickly reviewed the menu and ordered an American IPA that I had never tried before called Perfect Match. I really enjoyed it because it had great flavor, but was not too hoppy. Wifey ordered the Radler, which was there light Shandy. We sat down and chatted with our friend and enjoyed the layout and atmosphere. I noticed the place was very pet friendly and a couple dogs came over to visit with us. We did not stay long, but it was a very good experience and we will definitely have to come back to try some other offerings.

We arrived around 1 pm on a Saturday and had issue finding parking in their main lot. There is an overflow lot behind the building and there is signage to direct there if needed. When we arrived, we smelled something delicious coming from the on-site food truck, heard some great live music coming from inside and there were a ton of folks inside and outside just having a good ol time. Once we walked inside, there was plenty of beer on tap but I appreciated that there were frozen drinks available and with their partnership with Urban Tree, I was excited to see some of my old favorite ciders. The guy that helped me was super sweet and helpful. He made some great suggestions and I had a vodka blueberry lemonade, came back later for a water-marita which was my favorite. We order some loaded fries from their onsite food truck and the fries were amazinggggg! Huge portion, hot, and just the right amount of food. They have plenty of other stuff on the menu but the fries were good enough for the both of us. I totally forgot what drink my husband got but I do remember he enjoyed them. We had a great time just people watching, listening to music and chatting with folks. This is a good place to just come and hang for awhile for sure and we'll be back sooooooon.
