Spicy turkey melt
Westyn R.

Ormsby's is a spot where you grab after work drinks and a delicious meal. You seat yourself and then will be immediately greeted by staff. The space itself is a a dimly lit pub that's is great for groups. There's plenty of TV's to watch the big game of course. There is also a downstairs portion that includes games such as Bocce ball. The menu is full of elevated bar food. There's something for everyone. It was hard deciding what I wanted to eat but I chose the spicy turkey melt. It had turkey, kimchi and jalepnos and "rowdy sauce". I'm not sure what rowdy sauce is but I wanted to bathe my turkey melt in it. The sandwich was unique and had plenty of meat. When it arrived at the table even everyone said "whoa that looks good!". I guess I chose right!

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.

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).

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.

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!!

Dial the number on the antique phone and the door magically opens. The staff super friendly and helpful. The bartenders are the best, clearly passionate about their work. I highly encourage you to try one or several of their signature cocktails. I sampled the Left Bank Martini and Vesper. As expected they are fully stocked with Pappy Bourbon, hard to find Amaro Noni. Ask a bartender about the ice block. The place is spacious unlike other speakeasys I've been to. Lots of niche areas with couch reservations, pool table available.

I sat at the bar and had a little light banter with the bartender who is a brother looking to be in his late 30's-early 40's. When I asked about two fruity cocktails from the menu, he flat-out said he wasn't going to make them. That alone was off-putting. Trying to move forward, I asked what he specialized in, and he said he'd "come up with something." I agreed--but very clearly stated: no rum, because my body does not react well to it. After watching him make drinks for people who ordered after me, he eventually handed me a cocktail I never even saw him prepare. That already raised a flag. I took a few sips, and sure enough--my stomach immediately started reacting the exact way it does when I've had rum. When I asked what alcohol he used, he said, "I don't even know." That response alone tells you everything you need to know. At that point, I reminded him I specifically said no rum. Instead of taking accountability, he tried to argue and backtrack. Let me be clear--when a customer tells you not to use a specific liquor, you don't ignore it, guess, or "forget." That's basic service and basic respect. This situation completely threw off my evening, as I had plans afterward and ended up feeling sick. To make matters worse, I reached out to management and received no response. That lack of accountability speaks volumes. At the end of the day, this wasn't just a bad drink--it was careless service. This staff does not prioritize customer care, and that's a problem. If you choose to visit, be very direct, pay close attention, and don't assume your requests will be respected.

We thought their drinks specials (lychee martinis and a espresso martinis) were from 5-7 however, the bartender informed us that was incorrect and the only "specials" they were offering were shots of bourbon which unfortunately was false advertisement. So in-turn, I enjoyed the espresso martini, a lemon drop and a margarita which were very well prepared. Since I came on a party night, the ambiance is pretty loud and rambunctious.

This cocktail lounge is a cool spot! We had a private party for 20 and reserved the "Tight Squeeze"…read moresection which was behind a very nondescript door (like a speakeasy??) and right next to the bar, with a big center table where most of stood around, and then comfy sofas and chairs on the periphery. Since the other side of the bar was pretty much almost outside with a deck, they had heated lamps throughout. To order food or drinks, we went to the bartender - there is no server walking around to take orders. All of us kept an open tab - and they do automatically charge 20% tip. Our bartender was really good and super nice! And they have Happy Hours specials 4:30-7pm - even Sat/Sun ... so I took advantage of that! MELON BALL - $9 I'd never had a melon ball before and it was really yummy :) DOS CONFIT DUCK TACOS - $10 Two corn tortilla tacos w/ duck confit (birria style), NY sharp cheddar (actually I don't remember having cheese in mine), and mango chutney ... good option if you're looking for a lite bite. I enjoyed mine! LEMON PEPPER FRITES - $6 House-cut fries w/ lemon pepper dusting. The tacos weren't enough, lol - plus the fries were a good portion for sharing. I wish they sprinkled more lemon pepper but it was fine. Next time I'd like to try their Big Mac sliders - those looked really good! The shrimp po' boys looked good too! Looking at the regular menu, the food prices are very reasonable. Overall great spot for groups! They are located at Colony Square - although I knew the restaurant location, I did get disoriented after coming from the parking garage and trying to figure out where was 14th Street but a lovely policeman walked me there. Remember to bring your parking ticket and then ask the hostess to validate your ticket when you leave the restaurant - supposedly it's free up to 2 hours but I stayed there for over 6 hours and didn't have to pay for parking, yay!

As the night went on, we ordered more drinks and our server also ordered more drinks for himself (which we could see him drinking). He was incredibly rude and at times would just disappear. Mind you we were one of the only groups in the restaurant... all other tables had 'reserved' signs on them. For who? I'm not sure. He was obviously very annoyed to have to serve us and made rude comments to a few people in our group. For the food - the served actually told us 'you didn't order that' when we reminded him or 2 items that were forgot. They came out about 15 mins later. The 2 pizzas in my photos were the same pizza... not sure what happened there.
