This use to be a great place to hang with friends , have a drink and watch a game .....Not anymore ! Staff getting cursed at by drunk district manager in front of customers. Running out of liquor and beer and not to mention the Siemen on the bathroom stall for the last year... disgusting never going back read more

very good drinks and pub food. The staff is friendly and attentive. Benxhwarmers is great for lunch or dinner.

Not sure how eating reviews are this high. Bar food with added grease. Incredibly slow food delivery.

Good classics sports bar. Can't go wrong with it. Bar games and decent drinks and food. Never too crowded.

I will say this, if you LOVE sports you will LOVE this place. There are about 100 TVs playing all the games that sports fans want to see. The staff is very friendly, attentive & pretty -lol I think they're going for the hooters vibe. I saw that they have a different drink special everyday which I'm a big fan of. The food was (& I hate to say this) mediocre. The menu has a cajun theme but none of the food was very flavorful. My thing abt wings is, yeah the sauce gives flavor but you have to actually put a lil salt on the raw chicken before you cook it so the flavor takes hold-thats basic. The wings only had taste when you took a bite with skin-no bueno. My burger had pretzel bread-so thick and gross. (im gna give the benefit of listing this on the menu and me just not seeing it) & the burger was cooked mw vs m as I ordered it, why do restaurants ask and then just do what they want anyway? The burger also lacked flavor. Lastly the fries were supposed to be "cajun" but didn't have a speck of seasoning. What y'all doing back there? So, if you love sports and just wanna have a couple drinks while enjoying the game you'll love this spot but if you're coming with an appetite...idk bout that one cheif. read more

Visited this restaurant for a mid-week date night. Th why do not have good COVID-19 safety measures in place. Staff was not wearing gloves, fans were running in random spots and the waiter took our cups away from the table to give us refills instead of bringing new ones--didn't even ask us to remove the straws. The wings we had were great, and the salad was fresh. But we waited almost 40 minutes for the server to bring us our check and take payment. Absolutely ridiculous. Probably would not come back, but I'd recommend to anyone not in a rush to go anywhere afterwards. read more

Not a fancy interior but great bar food and lots of TV's! Super friendly staff and a great beer selection. I had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with Mac & Cheese. It was so delicious! The wings are also great. Tried the lemon pepper...well cooked, not too much batter, crispy and plump! Lots of parking. read more

Came here to watch some games on a Sunday afternoon. While the place was deserted around noon, about half an hour later, it was full of people participating in a darts tournament and eating. With people around, it's a cool place to watch a game. What was brutal, though, was the food. My friend and I both got turkey burgers, figuring that this was a relatively safe thing to get at a pub/bar. The burgers themselves were incredibly dense, the toppings fine, and the overall taste mediocre. The cole slaw was inedible--it seemed like it went bad days before. Service was friendly but incredibly slow--20+ minutes to check out; however, when there are games to distract you, it's not a huge deal. I'd come back if someone really wanted to go to watch a game, but I'd do most of my eating beforehand. read more

The shrimp Alfredo is good. Waitresses were nice. Heard the drinks are great as well.

I came here to meet up with some friends one night. They had all the games on, on alllll their TVs so that was nice. Drinks are cheap. I didn't get their food but I tried some fries and they were salty oh my. Service was decent can't complain. They automatically added 20% gratuity which was a bummer. read more

Came into the city to visit my children and grandson. Got in late and checked in at the Holiday inn express down the street and was trying to find something quick and get some rest. Stopped by and ordered the salmon blt not bacon or lettuce and a side salad no bacon no tomatoes with balsamic dressing on the side. Wow what a surprise it was great taste and HOT and fresh. Hubby ordered the teriyaki Turkey burger no bun with sauté spinach and sweet potatoes fries . Food was HOT and FRESH! Had a nice hang out type atmosphere, music was a nice but a bit loud. But the food was absolutely delicious read more

Went there last night and it was very hot. The A/C unit was not on or busted. I almost used a roll of paper towels to remove the sweat after sitting there to watch the NBA Finals last night. The food was good but the temperature in the bar was unbearable. I do not recommend coming there unless you want to sweat away several pounds. read more

Wow, pleasantly surprised by Benchwarmer's. I had been avoiding this place because it is a bar and they allow smoking. One of my friends that I typically go out to lunch with is extremely allergic to tobacco smoke so I have never suggested it. But I was with a different group and someone else suggested it. Sure, I'm in. And luckily the smoke really wasn't an issue. I ordered the Chili cheese burger. All burgers come on a pretzel bun, but you can swap it out for something else if you don't want it. Thank goodness. I opted for Texas toast. My two friends ordered buffalo chicken sandwiches. We all really enjoyed the food. I also got a side salad which was just basic. Our waitress was very kind with us as I totally spilled soda all over the place. Perhaps if their cups weren't SUPER huge! I have child hands lol. Anywho. It also did take a while to get said soda in the first place. But they have me some soda to go which was very nice. I would go back again and just cross my fingers that there continue to be no issues with smoke. read more

I'm giving them 3.5 stars all around!! In terms of pure viewing pleasure and fun factor - this place is a 4.75. Tons of screens in the front and back. High tops are more comfortable as the booths are a bit too upright and might have a crick in the neck if you are looking at the screens above you. The sound system is ok and if you need a break from the games, then you can play pool or darts. The best part is that this is smoke-free and there isn't any kind of residual smell in general. As for food & service - it can be hit or miss. I've been here 6 times or so and 75% of the time it's good. We've gotten baskets of tater tots that were fresh/hot out of the fryer and other times, cold in the middle. I love onion rings and unfortunately this is not the place to get them. Wings are really good and crispy as well as the salads. I may try the burger one day, but let's see. Anyway, there aren't many great "sports bars" in the area and I'm still looking, but I would definitely recommend this place given the "total package" read more

Food is good! Excellent! Drink specials are good throughout the week The music selection was terrible, decent vibe Good customer service Seats torn, I wore shorts and the booth was uncomfortable for me. I think the place could use a light renovation Other than that, I'll be back to grab a drink at the bar and some food to go read more

Great wings, great sauce choices, three mile hot wings are to die for! So is the mushroom Swiss burger! Grab a beer while you're there and it's complete! It's a bar so if that scene is not for you, order to go - their customer service is great. But they are busy at the bar - they will get to you - when they do they are kind and helpful, cheery... so be patient with them. The wait pays off. It's better than fast terrible service. read more

Great bar food, bartenders are friendly. Can get a little wild depending on the night, but a pretty calm place otherwise. Get the chicken tenders with buffalo sauce , you won't regrett it. read more

Checked out Benchwarmer's last night after seeing it years ago. Super cool hole in the wall. Lots of t.vs, massive bar, free darts, well priced drinks, and $1 pool. My kind of place. We just had some drinks no food. But definitely going to try their menu out next time. read more

Everything has always been good at this place, but interesting night tonight, Bartender blonde named "Kelly" was absolutely incoherent, either on drugs or inebriated or both. She ended up flashing a couple customers very inappropriate Why management didn't send her is beyond me Will return because they offer keno, but dang have more pride in who you hire read more

First time. If you like sports bars and pool, along with late night good food with great portion sizes... Then this is a great spot. Very casual and chill. Multiple TVs with various options of entertainment. Service is decent and the menu has an option for every body. I ordered the Blackened Blue Salad, requested spring mix salad, it was good and I'd order it again. read more

I was not pleased with my food or service when i visited. I ordered lemon pepper and teriyaki wings BUT what i got was original wings ( idk what to call it because it was not tossed in any kind of sauce) and They just drizzled Teriyaki sauce over the wings, no effort was put into it. Because of the late night I decided not to make a big deal out of it. My boyfriend ordered the grilled cheese burger. He said it was ok. read more

Great sports Bar. Friendly helpful staff. Great bar food and other daily lunch and dinner specials. Make sure you check out the Buffalo mac and cheese, and on Wednesdays the prime rib is awesome. Also if you like to play poker, the Atlanta poker club plays here on Mondays Wednesdays and Thursdays. Monday and Thursday they play Texas holdem and on Wednesday they play pot limit Omaha. Come out and join the fun oh, and make sure you try that Buffalo mac and cheese. It's to die for! read more

That typically local bar with cheap strong drinks and amazing bartenders. It's always a good time and somehow I end up in there for hours.

If I could give this sh*t hole zero stars I would. Horrible food , drinks are made terribly incorrect. Even seen the bartender reading instructions on how to make the drink on her phone and it was still wrong (a simple Long Island variation). I asked for a well done burger and got a bloody mess. My experience was a disappointment. Save your time and your money. read more

Pretty phenomenal wings and nice staff. The pool room needs some better players, but you know lol.

If your looking for an "Ok" Sports Bar because your from out of town and want to watch your team-this place will suffice. Beer is cold, waitress staff is friendly. Plenty of TV's. Nothing really to look at outside or inside. Outside is a bunch of smokers you have to get though to get inside. As far as the food, typical bar food. Side salad is above average. Everything else is just average bar food. Avoid onion rings-pretty nasty. Wings just ok. read more

Great place to see sports games of course... TVs (and good ones) in every direction. Had the steak salad and it was delish. The were not stingy on the blue cheese crumbles either. Hubby had the chicken finger platter and although the crispy coating was that yummy old fashioned cracker coating, it was a bit over fried. But the chicken inside was succulent so still good. Service was a bit slow, but could be because the big crowd had left and the wait staff was wore out. All and all though... a good experience. Waitress comped us, without our even asking, because she had forgottent to enter the chicken finger order... insightful and accommodating to their patrons. They allow smoking through out the bar, but had good ventilation so wasn't bad other than the two cigar smokers at the next table. They were loud and proud...but hey it's a bar, what do you expect. read more

This place is great! It has a similar atmosphere to Buffalo Wild Wings. My friends and I went here to watch the recent UFC fight, GSP v. Condit. They have plenty of TVs here, pool tables, and a pretty good selection of beers on tap (around 10). I didn't really like their hot wings, though..they were fried a bit too long so it was extra crispy on the outside. Also, I guess their service was... too good? A different waitress stopped by every 2 minutes to ask us if we needed anything, but I think that's because it wasn't really busy in there at the time. We will definitely be coming back to watch big games/fights here. Since it was fight night, it was $5 to get in, so make sure to bring some cash if you go on a fight night! read more

If I could give no stars I would. I visited this restaurant and ordered 10 wings. I got 9 and when I told my waitress, I was told too bad. DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT. The customer service is terrible! This waitress acted like I was trying to get an extra wing. Absolutely ridiculous! This restaurant will never get another dime from me. read more

Got seated quick. Food and service was average. There's nothing spectacular about this restaurant. They have typical sports bar food. It's pretty spacious and even though it was cold on the inside, we were in and out within an hour. read more

Favorite wings anywhere. Great for football as there are TV's in every nook. For NFL games, every game is on at least 2 TV's. Usually a fun and diverse crowd. For non-sporting events, 3 good dart boards in the back and pool tables are decent shape. read more

Really like this place for the prices, but it's hit or miss on the food. My last blue cheese burger was perfectly cooked and juicy. But I've also had it overcooked multiple times. It is a bar, so sometimes the service is slower. But I'm sure it's just them focusing on their regulars. For me, it more of a call-in/takeout spot. read more

So at first I started at a table by myself, after about 5 minutes nobody came to serve me so I went and sat at the bar. The service was average at best, however I had to try the wings. The wings was a big order of 10. Not much selection of flavors however their medium was very interesting in a good way. It had a tangy mustardy spice to them. Very nice and different flavor. The drinks were strong which is never a bad thing either. Great place to watch a game, tons of TVs read more

Great environment, larger than it appears from the outside. Plenty of TV screens for games. Great food. Service is good. Will return when in Atlanta read more

I just moved to Georgia 3 weeks ago. My friend introduce me to this spot. I must admit so far I love this place. The DJ plays a variety of music. The drinks aren't water down and the food is delicious. I can't wait until the next fight night. I'll drive all the way from the Northside to watch it..lol read more

Bench Warmers Sports Grill - One of the bartenders. Dont know his name but this guy is super cool. - American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Very large space with tv screens spread across the wall. I guess they covered the basics of sports bar. Apart from that, the food we ordered- nachos were dismal. Cheese was burned and tomatoes were old! I had to send back my Moscow mule after sipping straight tonic. Server was very prompt and kind and had them remake it. Had like 4 pool tables. So go for games not nourishment. read more

I visited this sports bar on a college football Saturday with a group. This is a review only of this experience -- you may have a totally different experience if you go on a less crowded day and are not part of a big group. I really liked Benchwarmers when I first came in. It's a really big space with one large area as you walk in and another around the corner in the back where there are some pool tables. My group was in the area in the back. There are loads of screens playing different games. It was very crowded in both the front and back areas -- this was the first day of the college football season. While the bar is large enough to seat large numbers of people, it didn't seem like they had the staff available to properly service this amount of people. I did get a drink order placed reasonably quickly after I arrived, but it was quite a while to get a second order placed and to have a food order placed. Our server had quite a large number of patrons to service. I started to get worried in the second half of the game. Our server was nowhere to be seen. I went the whole second half without a drink and was worried about getting the bill. Finally, I did see here coming around with bill, and saw that it took about the whole fourth quarter for her to go around and give everyone their checks and get payment. The beer selection was OK, with a few craft beer options. I had a Voodoo Ranger IPA that was pretty good. I also had their buffalo chicken sandwich that was pretty big and tasty. The cole slaw I got with it was too sweet for me. Although there were many screens here, the game viewing aspect was problematic. They were projecting the PAC 12 game I was watching on some large screens. The audio came in and out, with many periods of no audio. The picture also came in and out, particularly on one of the two screens., and when both screens were projecting the image frequently was out of synch, and not just by a few seconds but by a minute or so. With a little more staff, this could be a really good place for large groups. read more

Straight to the point. Ordered a Black and Bleu black bean burger, tots, fries, fried pickles and mozzarella sticks. The burger was not at all what was described or what I ordered. Looked good but was beef and I didn't know, until I bit into it, because it's covered in melted cheese. The mozzarella sticks were hollow, which means overcooked. Fries and fried pickles were soggy. Like give me something I can work with tonight man geez. Man, I honestly don't like leaving bad reviews but when I say I'm pissed. I. Am. Pissed. Please don't pre judge me as your typical over the top non meat eater. But when you've worked a 13 hr shift on your feet and get home and you're expecting to bite into a black bean burger and it's beef, it's like working that same 13 hr shift on your feet all day but the whole time you know you've got your favorite meal in the fridge only to get home and your roommate's fat ass is at the dining room table licking your plate clean. It's super frustrating when your whole meal wasn't appetizing and most couldn't be eaten. read more

Was looking for a good spot to enjoy Saturday football, and unfortunately this is not that place. Waited for 20 minutes before being acknowledged by any wait staff. They apologized and said they didn't see us because our table was small. If a table size/placement is going to interfere with quality service, the establishment should make a change. The person who apologized didn't even turn out to be our server. The person who was our server didn't come over for another 10 minutes. And if you think finally getting a server would result in any type of timely service, think again. Ordered sodas and decided we would try to stick around and enjoy the game. Wrong move. It was another 15 minutes before the server returned to see if we wanted any food. We decided to get an appetizer. We originally planned to stay for an appetizer and dinner, but decided to leave after the chips & salsa appetizer was sub par. Tasted as though someone bought a jar of Tostitos hot salsa and put it in a food processor and called it their own. With the poor appetizer and even worse service, I was not going to stick around to see what dinner held. Even asking for my check took another 15 minutes. I understand Saturdays are a busy day, but this isn't exactly a new concept. It seems this place was either understaffed or staffed by slow wait staff. I do not recommend this place. read more

Great place to eat and watch some great sports. They have the best chicken wings and the coldest beer.
