Thinking Man Tavern

Saturday brunch and we're starting our day of drinking across Atlanta. There's a neat vibe here that is half sports bar and half dive bar. On Saturday at 11:30, we weren't the only ones who had started drinking.I ordered off the brunch menu, choosing the brisket hash. My friend chose the gyro with tots and I think she had the better meal. Mine was roasted potatoes and onions with pieces of brisket drizzled with an overly sweet barbecue sauce. I'm sure some folks love this - I found it only okay and wouldn't choose it again.The gyro looked great though the cold tzatziki sauce turned the sliced meat into just warm. Big portion of tots with it though and they were perfect.Fun spot and I would like to return for evening drinks.[Review 20042 overall - 642 in Georgia - 1017 of 2023.]

This is a sweet little spot to checkout, especially if it's a late night. They have stickers in a lot of places, a great bar selection & fast service, usually. Food is pretty damn good too! They've got potato fries that are very delicious and like little potato sliders. Super tasty! A lot of good vegetarian options too!

Came for a quick drink and burger. Sadly I didn't love my burger. It wasn't very flavorful, but I did enjoy my cocktail. They had a good number of cocktail options for a place that's more like a dive bar.

I went here for the first time today after looking at the menu. I passed here countless times going somewhere else. I got the beer battered cod. The first time ever having fish and chips it comes with tartar and coleslaw for $15.00. Chips so good I ate those before touching the fish. Delicious

Cool little bar... it was pretty slow when I went on a Friday night. Service was pretty good they bartender was very attentive. I would describe it as a quaint neighborhood bar. It was a good vibe. Didn't have food but there is the regular menu then a late night menu. I would absolutely go back here for drinks.

It is a nice dive bar. Affordable, and good food. It's not too busy, which is a plus. But sometimes their service is a bit slow. I'd definitely recommend this establishment for college students and locals.

This is the kind of place that doesn't give a s**t in a really good way. The essentials, food and drinks, are top-notch but everything is very relaxed. The staff were extremely friendly.

This was a cute little late night find. I love the atmosphere of this Tavern as it reminded me of my old neighborhood pub in Baltimore. How nice it is to see people enjoying drinks, darts, and each other's conversation!My friend and I sat down at a table first, and no one acknowledged us. We realized after a couple minutes we had to go to the bar to order food and, of course, drinks. The bartender lady was very busy, but she did a good job taking care of her patrons.Our food is where things took a downturn. I'm completely perplexed as to how the food could be SO WARMLY COLD. It wasn't like it had been sitting there a long time, but maybe more like it had all been poorly microwaved. Although it was around 10pm, we figured there was no reason fried common bar food like tater tots and fried potato rounds should be warm but also cold. The mashed sweet potatoes and broccoli were the worst, two foods that should not be eaten when not hot. The tofu sliders were an intriguing idea, but the bread was way too thick and bigger than the tofu, and the flavors created more CONfusion than fusion. I do appreciate the large variety on the menu, but the execution I tasted failed miserably. If 1 hour before kitchen closing is not enough time to prepare hot food, maybe they should close the kitchen earlier.Apart from the food, the drink side of things was EXCELLENT and very reasonably priced. Several pages of beers, wines, and sustainable spirits. I had so many good and local beers. I could've stayed forever. Highly recommend this place for beer and drinks! Just be careful of the food!

This place is always on point. The tots give me life. Meaty and crispy. My wife loves the wedge - massive and loaded. And the service?... fam. Caroline consistently rocks our world. Her energy and conversations remind me that life is made for living. We're leaving ATL soon - and will miss her and this local respite much. XOXO

Nice little spot for a quick bite and drinks. Great location to meet a group of friends. I ordered the fried pickles and the portion was huge. Staff is also very friendly and the food came out quick.
