The U Bar

If you can find it, it means you're one of the cool kids.
Most nights they have a young crowd (it's 21+), but there
are theme nights, and the tiny concert venue next door
dumps people in after shows. Back in the day, you
actually had to know where you were going, now your
Lyft driver can drop you right at the door. Also, this place
is super thrifty, but bring cash because they don't take
cards and the ATM has high fees.

The grungiest of dive bars; we love it. It was featured on
Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives a few years back which has
un-grungied the clientele. The food is very yum and
denitely not just bar fare. Heads up - this is one of the
few places left in Atlanta where you can still smoke
inside, whether that deters or attracts you.
