Northside Bar & Grill

I love this place! The wings are the best in the city. The drinks are really good and they definitely get you to where you need to be. The service is great, the girls are always friendly. The ambiance is good, they have darts and pool tables. The only downside is they have had quite a few fights and shootings and a couple deaths too so be careful and leave before they close.

So this use to be one of my favorite pubs to grab good bar food and cocktails however this establishment has changed when the staff changed. I recently ordered a cheese quesidalla and the bartender told me that the only option they have is chicken, steak or veggies so she wasn't sure what to do. After we sat on the phone silent for 10 second she decided to ask a co worker on how to enter the order. Then I ordered 2 orders of 10 PC wings with 2 different flavors like I normally do. During the ordering process she told me she didn't know how to enter split flavor wings on the system so she was going to need to enter those separately to ensure she got the ordered right. As I stated I've been coming here for over 10 years and I've been ordering the same thing and nobody else has had issues. I went to pick up the order and would you believe she charged me for 4 orders of 5 sets of wings at $9.45 vs 10 wings for $12.50. Then when I addressed it with her she proceeded to tell me the system doesn't allow split orders and that's the only way that she could do it by charging me 2x. Then after I inquired If that was something new cause I just ordered the same order 2 months ago and that wasn't the case she seemed shocked. She was really trying to pull a fast one but since I was in a rush I just paid so I could leave. Then after I paid I had to wait a few minutes and ask for my food cause after she swipe my card she proceeded to help other guests as if I wasn't standing there. Then I get my food only to see that the order was incorrect. They did fix it after I went back in but I will be honest. This experience was the worst. I felt like she tried to pull a fast one to increase her chances of getting a tip by charging me higher prices. If you visit this spot be sure to check your bill before paying. Oh and the food was delicious like always the service just wasn't.

Food - perfection Service - on point, they do the best they can when taking into consideration the crowd they have to serve Ambiance - GROWN FOLKS! No drama, laid back yet turnt up!

Did I mention they have the best wings !The Stagg is amazing from Emily to Tonna to Erica to Carry and many more....

THE WORST TWO HOURS.Last night, was a bussing fail for this establishment.Party of 5 (my portion of the party (3 arrived at 6:15), received horrible service. I can understand being understaffed (they had one waitress covering the entire front (bartending and waitressing for at least a hour by herself), but I can't tolerate horrible communication between the floor and the kitchen. Within 10 mins of my party's arrival, the entire party had arrived and were sitting for over ordered 15 mins before being serviced by the first waitress. Took 20+ minutes to even receive our drinks, where we had to request to put our food orders in because who knows when we'd see her again. But she made sure to let us know that shift change was happening and that the other waitress would be responsible for our food portion of our order whenever she came on shift. I had to ask for two separate cups of coke to refill my own cup 15+ minutes after I managed to make eye contact with the 2nd waitress who arrived I believe around 7:30p or at least noticeable to me. Throughout our time here, both waitresses greeted regulars and/or people who were familiar to them, rarely checking on us.The party of 2, who we all ordered together, received their order of chicken wings (my party's order included 10 chicken wings, steak quesadilla, and potato skins). We finally were checked on again close to 8p, where I requested to speak to a manager. The waitress came back and told my party that the manager would take the steak quesadilla ($9) off for us. I requested again to speak to a manager as that was unacceptable. At this point, my best friend's husband had left to the bar to speak with someone where he was told that our food was actually ready (at some point) but was dropped, but remade. Coincidentally, as he was arriving back and informing us of the incident, I saw the manager/owner heading our way.The manager/owner Emily (sp?) came over to tell us the story of being short-staffed, which I told her is understandable in terms of (reasonable) timing with delivery and service, that my upset is due to the lack of communication and service that my party received in the hour and a half that we waited prior to speaking with her. She did inform us that our ticket was put in "42 mins ago", which I informed her that we had put the order in closer to 7p as an entire table, so the 10-15 min delay was weird, PLUS the party of two received their food 20+ mins prior to speaking with Emily (8p). After that, Emily said that our order was actually in the window and was ready now but was dropped earlier due to her bumping into the waitress, which is why it took longer to come out after being remade. Again, why was that not communicated at any point both waitresses fluttered around tending to everyone else or whoever dropped it. I asked her why was at this point, the steak quesadilla the only thing that was taken off, I got the "it's what we do" answer. Following this useless interaction, I requested that our order be cancelled. And lo and behold, THAT took 10 minutes of waiting and someone from my party having to go to the bar to ask about our checks and what are we paying v. not paying.After two hours, we left with empty stomachs, too many excuses for poor communication and waitressing, and my longest Yelp review ever.

The wings are fire! Get them breaded with the sauce on the side...trust me you will thank meI usually order out, but there is plenty of bar seating and also a dining area with tables. In the back there are pool tables, a juke box, a second bar that I believe they only use on weekends. There's a dj booth up front and a dance floor.John is my fav!

For what it is worth, being a bar, it's a decent bar. On the weekends, they have a DJ and it is packed in there but the music is on point. I go for the ZA and I can't get enough, well I can because my fupa tells me it's enough lol it reminds me of Jack's or Circle City pizza when it was around. Bar food is really good to be honest. They barely ever have drink specials but their prices are decent.

I have never been racially profiled until today. Me, my husband, and some family were at the bar playing pool and having a drink. My husband and 2 of his straight laced cousins went outside, 1 to smoke and the other 2 were talking. The owner came outside and said, "go in or out" after that my husband asked "is it ok if they smoke?", the owner then pulls out his gun cocks it in the air and says, "I don't give a fuck what you do" and walked off. After being completely terrified and uncomfortable for getting a gun pulled out for no apparent reason, we paid our $100 tab and left. I can't believe this has happened, especially when we don't look threatening or causes any issues. I wouldn't ever go again or recommend anyone else to go.

It's a family place. The food is amazing and it's a great vibe! It's a place where everybody knows your name, and they're glad you came. Service is amazing.

My husband and I stopped to eat here on our way back to Georgia. Fast, efficient service. The food was good and the server was very attentive. The best service we experienced all weekend in the area. We'll definitely come back.
