Best Sports Bars in Atlanta

Fourteen screens and a brewery under one roof. The Falcons and Braves crowds have made this their pre- and post-game home. Fourteen craft drafts brewed on-site, including a game-day lager that pours cold and fast. Arrive 90 minutes before kickoff for a table with a main screen sightline.

Three floors, 40 screens, and a rooftop bar that shows the game while showing off Midtown's skyline. The wings are above-average and the draft list covers the major domestics plus a few regionals. Loud, energetic, and exactly what a sports bar should be.

Overlooks Piedmont Park on one side, a beer garden on the other. The screens are large and the Sweetwater 420 draft is always cold. Hawks games draw a dressed-up Midtown crowd. Book in advance or arrive early.

Bowling, bocce, and big screens. The Buckhead sports fan demographic trends upscale, and this place reflects that. Order the short rib tacos and find a lane with a screen sightline.

A genuine Atlanta institution since 1956. The kind of sports bar that politicians and professors drink at on the same stool. Multiple screens, no attitude, exceptional draft selection. The Braves still pack this place.

The Sweetwater flagship taproom doubles as a serious sports viewing room on game days. The beer is as fresh as it gets. The Inman Park crowd is younger than Buckhead but just as enthusiastic.

Over 100 televisions across two floors, including a private party room with dedicated screens. NFL Sundays fill this place by noon. The burger is better than it needs to be.

The Atlanta sports bar institution for people who want wings, beer, and multiple games simultaneously without paying Buckhead prices. The Monday Night Football tradition here dates back decades.

Primarily a live music venue, but the bar section fills up for big games. The cocktail list is better than most sports bars. The Old Fourth Ward location means a younger, more music-aware crowd.

A cocktail bar that happens to show sports on low-lit screens above the bar. Better for boxing or MMA nights than NFL Sundays. The speakeasy entrance through a phone booth sets the right expectation.

A true neighbourhood bar in East Atlanta Village with a loyal local fanbase. The projector screen is large and the patio is heated in winter. One of the few sports bars in Atlanta where you can still find a seat at kickoff.

A newer addition near Georgia State Stadium, Ivy Hall has become the serious fan option in Summerhill. Twelve taps, elevated bar food, and screens positioned for actual viewing rather than decoration.

The first Fadó in America, open in Buckhead since 1996 and still Atlanta's soccer headquarters. Saturday doors open at 10:00 for the early Premier League window, the Guinness pour is the city's most reliable, and the supporters clubs claim every screen an hour before kickoff.

Atlanta's most impressive cocktail programmes, from classic recipes to innovative house creations that define modern mixology.

Romantic bars perfect for a first date or a special evening, with excellent cocktails and the kind of lighting that makes everything feel right.
