Spanakopita
Jordan M.

A relatively cute space it's small, but very warm in terms of decor and atmosphere. Definitely a place for a small group of friends to meet up or maybe a very cute and quaint dinner. Service was on point . Portion sizes were fair for the price points.. but all the food came out hot and with good presentation. I would recommend this place. I will say it's a nice upper taste for downtown Monroe but necessary!

Meatballs

This was one of my favorite meals I've had in Georgia! Everything I ordered was delicious. Can't wait to return.

Christmas cocktail

What a great surprise in Monroe! Cozy, warm atmosphere, excellent cocktails and delicious Greek food! Not an extensive menu, but everything they serve is done very well! The chicken souvlaki is my favorite so far. The chicken is tender and moist, and I love the horiatiki served with it. Hubs prefers the gyro plate, mom loved her Moussaka, and dad ate every last bite of his shrimp souvlaki. Service and food quality will keep us coming back!!

Flat bread

Located in downtown Monroe The Brown Fig has several options for parking. Paid parking is right beside the building for $3 an hour or unpaid parking is across the street. Seeing as they do not take reservations I recommend coming early to avoid wait times we got there 10 minutes before they opened and made it to the third party in line by the time they opened there was a line wrapped around the building. The restaurant was adorable with Miami art deco vibes. There was plenty of seating with a bar and a piano used for live music. To start I grabbed a Hendricks Martini with blue cheese olives which was fantastic and the Spaganaki "opa" it was a flaming Greek cheese served with lemon and crostini bread. It was fresh and stringy making great cheese pulls with a fun flaming flair. Next I got the Hollace Farmer Breeze, which reminded me of a Mai Tai without the rum. For dinner we had the Spanakopita ( loved it so crispy and delicious), the Gyro Plate ( meat was so tender, well seasoned and came with a ton), and the Anything but Ordinary Flatbread ( very good but I would recommend as an appetizer). Service was on point and the live music was the perfect volume to carry on a conversation. In conclusion I think I will be back for desert with the girls.

The Rooftop - Blood moon baby

The Rooftop

(50 reviews)

"There's something magical about rooftops. You feel like you're in 'Mary Poppins."…read moreGeorge Clarke There really is something special about being on a rooftop on a perfect summer evening, and it's great to have it right in downtown Sugar Hill. I would like to say I planned the perfect date, but as some of the best things in life, this was just an impromptu visit to cap off an already great evening. Outside of being on the rooftop, the bar itself is upscale yet approachable, service was fast and friendly. Being a bit of a self engrandized home bartender I'm a bit critical when out of my home lab, but their Smoked Old Fashioned wasn't bad. ("Wasn't bad" really means very good.") While I don't love the prices and hate paying a cover charge, when you throw in live music, a great vibe, and a view, I can't really complain. The owner made an announcement that whoever tipped the band $10 would get a free drink, and since most drinks were over $15 I thought that was cool on many levels. Will definitely be back to The Rooftop!

We stepped in not sure what to do as no one greeted us, they were not very busy and the bartender…read morelooked to be having a conversation with someone at the bar. We walked around and finally ran into a waitress who told us to sit anywhere we wished inside or outside. The only area festive was inside a closed igloo and no heaters were on outdoors which was just a tad too cool for me despite the super nice weather that day. It would have been so to sit outside but without the warmth of the heaters we headed inside. We placed our order and explained we were just there for a pre-dinner drink and wanted to check out the venue so we didn't leave our tab open but we were quickly served the fabulous taking drinks on their menu(s). The Old Fashioned was on the regular menu and the Russian was on their seasonal tabletop menu. Server was very nice and took photos for some ladies we met. The only reason I can't give them a 5 star is they claim they are big on hospitality but yet we were not acknowledged upon arrival. Many restaurants and even some retail stores have a way to ensure they say hello/welcome immediately when you enter and without a hostess - the mindset should be that the bar or wait staff have a way to immediately say hello or welcome so those who have never been feel welcomed as well as those who frequently come. It would be nice to have a more festive decor for the holidays but that didn't affect my review; just a statement to say that the entire Sugar Hill area was pumping and themed with the holiday spirit then we walked in the only area decorated was not even accessible nor was it offered as an option to enjoy.

Or you can order some alcoholic slushies or shakes (very good). Thick wooden benches & tables for seating. Clean dining. Food's good. Restrooms are trippy. Jet black toilets. So unless there's a reflection coming off the water it looks like you're staring into the abyss. Anyway, nice place. Looks like it used to be a gas station converted into a restaurant. Only challenge is parking. Very limited. But good eats. Check it.

Recently though one of my friends mentioned LR Burger and I knew I needed to check it out. It took me a year to get there but I am so glad I took the leap and decided to try it. The first time we went I "chickened" out and got the Buffalo mother clucker sandwich which was "wowza!" So stinking good I had dreams about it which made me extra sure their burgers would be amazing. I saw the SouthPaw a double patty with blue cheese sauce tomato, & lettuce on the menu the next time and it was like pure kismet I knew that was my burger. I ordered it and what do you know it was phenomenal I mean pure bliss to partake in! There is something for everyone my very picky kiddo loved the Oklahoma and couldn't stop talking about how delish it was! Every single time I am remotely in the Monroe area (which is every day twice a day) I have to talk myself out of going to get one. So good. 10/10. My top burger in all 50 states so far. If you haven't been you must go immediately and have the burger of your life!!!

Not even sure where to begin to describe the awesomeness that is the Manhattan. Well first off,…read moreit's dimly lit with some retro lamps, light fixtures and scattered Xmas lights. There seems to not be any open space and the walls and ceiling are both pretty much covered with trinkets. There's little 8" vinyl records hanging from the ceiling, along with beads and various other indescribable pieces of art thrown in here and there. Mismatched tables, chairs, booths and couches are tucked throughout the inside of the bar. There's also a straight up bar seating area, which I totally love and is the best place to chat with random local folks. Part of the charm of the Manhattan is that you can totally go in by yourself, sit at the bar and end of meeting lots of interesting people. I was so glad to see that this had not changed a bit since I had been away for 6 years. Second only to my love of dives bars, is popcorn. And this popcorn machine really comes through after a long night drinking in a little dive like this. Even though there are windows, this bar is always dark (just how I like em) and you just lose track of all time. I was just there during winter break & was pretty jazzed to see a ton of hot rum and whisky cocktails. Perfect since it was super cold out. The Manhattan was always one of my fav & deliciously divey downtown drinking spots and so glad to see it still is.

The Manhattan Cafe is a cozy dive bar in downtown Athens…read more It's not much to look at from the outside. If anything, it looks a little sketchy from the outside given the bars on the window, but it's not a sketchy place at all. Believe me when I say this. I stopped in on a Monday night for a nightcap. It was nice and quiet, which is exactly what I was looking for that particular evening, the following day being a travel day for me. As you can see from my pics, it's a nice little place. Drink prices were very reasonable, and the bartending was very good, too. I will happily stop in again when I return to Athens next year. Cheers!

The decor is beautiful in here in red and black go very well together I was greeted when I walked in by the host and advised I was going to the bar for a second. I've been sat down and scammed the QR code to look at the menu. I decided to tell her what kind of tequila I liked and allow her to do her thing I didn't have anything particular in mind, but I was glad I let the bartender do what she does best. My drink was freaking delicious! I did look at the menu to see what I wanted and decided on the hot honey chicken sandwich. This sandwich came out and it was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had and I am a chicken sandwich connoisseur by trade. I had just a couple of fries and then seasoning very well, but I didn't need them because the chicken sandwich was so filling I got a hookah and told her I like something fruity and she made me the best hookah I've had in a long time. I was able to blow for hours and the coals did not go out nor did I need a refill. When I tell you guys, I'll be back very soon and I'm going to invite my friends here, it'll be insane when we come. The food is phenomenal. Teddy, who is the trained Chef and curated this menu, you did your big one! Bring your friends and try everything
