My friends and I came here on a Saturday night to join their relatively long line at their front door. With about 15-20 people in front, it took around 20 minutes until it was our turn to enter. There are two full bars, one inside and the other outside. The bartenders were putting in work and crafting some unexpectedly better drinks than I would have thought! I got their French 75 which I had never had but will definitely look for it more in the future. It was a very youthful environment with loud music and even louder conversations. Overall, it was a good experience and I would come again for the ambiance and drinks. Parking wasn't impossible since there are lots of neighborhood streets to park in.

My favorite bar in ATL. The drinks are phenomenal, especially the Appletini, but they also have great food. I love the vibe and the bartenders are all super friendly. Highly recommend this spot to anyone.

Casual bar that pays homage to the '80s and '90s. They project old movies on the walls and they have lots of pictures of well-known TV dads from our childhood all around. I sat at the bar and ordered a French 75 and an Espresso Martini and asked them to add some Kahlúa to the latter. The French 75 was poorly executed (too much lemon juice made it too tart and they put the Prosecco in the bottom of the glass first which makes all the bubbles flat), but the Espresso Martini was delicious! I also ordered the White Castle Burgers to eat, which were four burger sliders with cheese, caramelized onions, and a pickle, and those were delicious and they came with a side of waffle fries. Overall, it was a good experience though so I would return.

First off, try the Disco Fries. Second, try every cocktail on the menu. Third, tip your bartenders well. Dad's has cool vibes, great service, tasty food, and delicious drinks. 10/10 would go again.

I really liked the vibe at Dad's, inside it has a den-like feel with all the wood and movies playing on the TV's, then outside it's kind of tiki with fake grass and lights. The cocktails were really well made in my opinion. We didn't try any food but I would definitely go back for that and more cocktails!

Came because this place was reccomended to me by a bartender in nyc. This place has been around for years but I hadn't heard of it prior. I arrived on a Friday evening. There was a pretty large crowd but still plenty of seats. I grabbed a cocktail and chilled for a bit on the patio. It was a nice vibe and we were able to bar hop to easily to other spots in the area. I would definitely go back.

Wow, what a 1/5 star experience! 1 vodka drink and an overbearing bartender named Katie later, and we were "cutoff". An off duty and sober Atlanta PD Officer in our group too...very odd. When looking for insight as to why we were cutoff, a very clueless and nervous bar-back named Josiah offered quite literally 0 help. Hiring a competent and confident staff would be a large plus for this establishment. It was quite a mess and mediocre experience had by all members of our group. Something all patrons of Yelp looking for a fun Atlanta experience should be well aware of. I think a better understanding of the late 20's/early 30's patrons should be in the works for the executive leadership team at Dad's, Virginia Highlands. Cheers (or not?)

Great bar. Great vibes. Good movie posters except for this one will Ferrell movie with John C Reilly. I'm pretty sure this movie doesn't even exist. Looks like it could be pretty funny though. Will recommend to a friend

Favorite bar in the neighborhood! Good vibes, good music, and delicious cocktails. It does tend to get crowded on the weekends though, but just because it's so popular! Always will be my go to spot though. #daddysgirl
