Loved this bar. We stopped by with our group after the Uzbekistan v Congo World Cup game. Great vibes and the staff was very friendly. They have a couple of TVs to watch the games on. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were lots of soccer fans and people were singing along to songs, having a great time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We tried some beers and their wings--they were pretty good. This is a great spot to hang out at before and after a game or concert at Mercedes Benz or State Farm Arena. read more

Bottle Rocket Fine Food & Beverage 4 stars Came from the aquarium hungry and were looking for late night food. Found street parking nearby. Small bar so shouldn't have high expectations of the sushi; not the best but got the job done. Loved how they decorated inside. The bartender sat done with us to go over the memu; she was super friendly! Food is 3-3.5 stars. Miso soup (seaweed + tofu) was super delicious. JFC chicken karage was savory/yummy... IF they were called tenders. That wasn't prepped as karage. The fries however were very hot & crispy. Specialty rolls ranked: Sunset Strip (my favorite, spicy hamachi, cucumber, salmon, + topped w/ shrimp), Bulls Eye (pretty good, eel topped w/ yellowtail, not that spicy), & Pink Lady (was ok, shrimp tempura + avocado topped w/ tuna & eel sauce) Service was excellent and experience was great; 4 stars overall! read more

Fantastic service, amazing food. Sushi is great, burgers are great. so stoked to have them in the neighborhood!

Very chill pub/bar right next to the Mercedes bens stadium. Finding parking was a little hard. They have parking spaces a few blocks away,which gets filled up during the games pretty quick. Service was quick. The ambience is very casual bar like. The sushi was okay, I have had better but never in such a cool bar situation. The drinks had ice cubes in the shape of kittens which was adorable and fun. I like the drinks, the food wasn't disappointing. I can see myself revisiting this place when I go for a game or so. read more

Unfortunately, we were the only table there and service was very slow. The rice was mushy and over cooked which made my sushi fall apart.

Went here for Valentine's Day with my partner. Awesome little dive bar with a laid back atmosphere and super sweet staff. It's a small space that could seat about 20 including the bar, and we loved the coziness of it. One of the TVs played It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, with football on the other three huge screens. We got three sushi rolls and a cocktail each, and all were to die for. Two of the sushi rolls were fried - my partner was so excited to see fried sushi on the menu. (Speaking of the menu, it had lots of options and some great variety, but wasn't too overwhelming.) Our calamari appetizer was also genuinely the best calamari I've ever had. Definitely give this one a try! read more

While visiting Atlanta we chose Bottle Rocket because we'd been in the car for twelve hours and wanted a nice local place within walking distance to our hotel. Bottle rocket fit the bill. It's a small space with the majority of the room taken up by the work counter. When we walked in the staff didn't pay too much attention to us, so we seated ourselves. I was a bit nervous about the aloofness, but the server that came over to help us ended up being wonderful. The space is a bit tight. There are several tables and a long counter at the bar that was full when we arrived. There is a men's restroom and a woman's restroom. The women's room is used to store kegs and could have been a bit cleaner. I liked that the menu was not overwhelming...it's one page and it had variety. If sushi isn't your thing there's even a burger for you! I'm not a sushi fan so I had a tuna burger served with batter fried that I dipped in spicy mayo. The tuna patty was served on a regular white hamburger bun...that seemed a bit underwhelming at first...it seemed like it should be in a Kaiser roll, but in the end the plain bun was perfect for the flavorful patty because it didn't steal the show. My husband had a gorgeous looking sashimi appetizer. It was eight pieces of lovely fish and he was quite happy. My daughter ordered the shrimp tempura roll. She's just getting into sushi. She said it was good, but was disappointed that it didn't have eel sauce on it. We all shared an order of their house made crab ragoons and agreed that they were very good. This is a nice place with a very local feel to it and we are so glad we were able to visit. read more

The food was cool. I enjoyed my bubble gum sushi roll and sprite. But the server/bartender that boasts about being there from Saturday to Tuesday, was so rude to my friend and I. As soon as we sat down, we were rushed to select an item, followed by very clear body language that indicated annoyance and/or agitation. It was odd because the server/bartender was so pleasant to every other customer. Just not two black women at the bar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you want to spend money on parking, food, and unnecessarily cold ambiance - this is the place to be.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 0 out of 10. Never again. read more

My husband bought $60 worth of food, including three sushi rolls and crab Rangoon. We received no sauces (eel sauce or spicy mayo). When he went back to get some, they charged us $9 for sauces. I went in to ask why, and apparently they charge for any sauce besides the drizzled one. Even dining in, they still charge for sauces! I don't mind paying for extras, but there should be at least a few complimentary sauces with your meal. I won't be returning. read more

Such a unique find! Who would expect sushi crammed into a spot between two Mexican places? I came in mid week hoping to grab a few rolls and sat at the bar. Mike and Sheila were working and were both super friendly and nice. I got my two rolls and decided to get the JFC fried rice as well. The rolls were up super fast - spicy tuna and shrimp tempura. The fried rice was perfect. The karaage was done very small bites which was exactly right to complement the rice. There was MST 3000 and another campy movie showing on the tv and people were having great conversations and just enjoying the nice weather outside too. Highly recommend. read more

Terrible place would not recommend. They charge you for condiments such as sauce. The service is not friendly and [[HIGHLIGHT]]definitely not the cleanest place in the world.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would never come again read more

As a tourist coming to Atlanta from a relatively small town, one of the things I was looking forward to the most was a nice sushi dinner. We weren't trying to break the bank, but we wanted some good, casual sushi. After looking at the reviews for here, it seemed promising. When we walked in on a Saturday night, there was maybe 6 people inside sitting at the bar, which we found sort of odd. The atomosphere was very atypical for a sushi restaurant, so much so that I honestly thought we had walked in the wrong door. We ordered the miso soup and crab rangoons to start. I enjoyed the miso soup, it had a lot of seaweed and tofu, it was flavorful and a decent portion size. I thought the crab rangoons were decent, but my partner said they were expecting a higher cream cheese to crab ratio. We ordered the bottle rocket roll (the highest recommended) and the happy ending roll. To be completely honest, it was extremely underwhelming. Neither roll was very flavorful at all. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was chill. If you're looking for a super Americanized bar that has cheap sushi for if you're craving it when you're buzzed, this is a good option for you. But if you're coming here for your first time in Atlanta, looking for pretty good affordable sushi, maybe not. We spent about $50 here and honestly, I wish we would've taken the red flags and walked out. read more

This place has been consistently displaying its bias toward black and brown customers and their favoritism toward white customers. 1. I ordered the bottle rocket sushi which on the menu is only $13 but they charged me $15. 2. The sushi is not authentic 3. They have been consistently rude I did not want to think this was true, especially in a black community. So I asked my friend to try it out. They charged him $13 for the same sushi that I paid $15 for and even received extra eel sauce for free. If this is a whites-only establishment, they should put up a sign. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Bottle Rocket is a charming spot with a great vibe and even better sushi.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had a spicy tuna roll and whistle pop roll and both were fresh and had excellent taste. The bartenders also did a great job providing good service. There is parking on the street but if you can't find any there is a parking lot on the other side of the business at No Más Cantina.

I would honestly give a lower score if it could. I walked in and immediately thought about leaving. I wish I had. Nothing was inviting about this place. It was dark and small and full of rowdy football fans. No one greeted us or told us where to sit. We choose to sit at the "sushi bar" which was just a continuation of the bar. The sushi door was open so I had a bad feeling. We ordered edamame and calamari as starters. The edamame was microwaved and the calamari was mostly fry batter. No one particularly liked their sushi roll but mine was inedible. The raw tun tasted incredibly fishy and that is a real bad sign for raw fish. I have no idea how this place has a 4 star ranking. I would eat here again if you paid me. read more

Fantastic find in Atlanta. Great place to hang out, get something to get and a beverage.

So disappointed in our $100 delivery from Bottle Rocket. It's usually our favorite sushi but it was very subpar. Forgot one of the rolls, the hamachi had a visible bloodline (yuck) and the tuna wasn't fresh. It just didn't taste good. We actually didn't finish our food and are now eating some chips from the cupboard. Major bummer. I hope it was just an off night. read more

I was about to get beat up by a guy with major road rage. Looked in my rear view mirror and saw 3 white men coming to my rescue! The driver got back on his car and left. I circle around, park, walk towards Bottle Rocket. The guys have a table outside and completely made my day. At one point, we all agreed it's not a black or white thing. It's about taking care of each other. They wanted to take care of me, there's compassion out here. NOW THIS SUSHI! Lord, it was so good! Service was slow, but the staff were personable and pretty laid back. We had the Sashimi Appetizer and it was gooood. I couldn't resist so I ordered the Bottle Rocket next which is good, but I doubt I'd get it my next visit. Didn't get to the cocktails but did have saki, and a shot with my new friends ( Heroes ) 4 stars because of service and I don't think the salmon is wild caught...? Su Solo read more

Hidden gem! Next to a super popular restaurant so don't be intimidated by the line outside, it's probably not for bottle rocket, but it should be! The staff is incredible, you genuinely feel like the only table there. The vibe is a little divey but I loved it. The sushi was quality, the bar was 2 steps away and the mai tai's were awesome. We got the ahi burger and it was really good. It definitely feels like you're eating sushi in a dive bar but that's not something I have a problem with. If you're looking for a good meal, great service, and good drinks this is the spot. read more

This menu is super creative...sushi and burgers. The place is small and comfy and all that is right in Castleberry Hill. The Supuns are TO DIE for. But the sushi variety is limited as is the quality (watery tuna...ick). But there's always good music and soccer on the TV. Locals linger with their dogs on the sidewalk. It's pretty much awesome. read more

Bajeez! I love Bottle Rocket. Stashed away in the middle of no where, but an absolutely delicious find! Fantasic...I mean Fantastic specialty cocktails and sushi! Best I've had in Atlanta thus far! The atmosphere is colorful, fun, playful, nerdy and little sexy! Bar is rad and overall decorum. And staff! Woo! Love em! Unfortunately, only 4 stars because it's not child friendly at all. No high chairs, no room, and nothing a youngin could eat. Super sad about this. I have a toddler and he is always attached to my hip, except for this one night...my husband's and mines anniversary. So, I'll probably only eat here twice a year and that's a shame :( read more

Go to sleep Christmas Eve with a sushi bar, wake up in the New Year with an American/Asian Fusion hot spot with awesome cocktails...that's what I call a Happy New Year! I will say that there are times I will miss WASABi, but Bottle Rocket definitely has a bit more flair to it and the food so far is perfect. Since it was a soft opening they only had a few choices, but to give you an initial idea: Tuna Burgers, Hamburgers, Strip Steak and Salmon Salad were the options. The tuna burger had a side of aioli and the combination was really something, the tuna was great...no surprise since they didn't completely dismantle the sushi bar, just reduced the size a little and raised the bar (so to speak). The sweet potato fries could be a little bigger, but then again it's probably better they're not so I don't gorge myself on them. I was told the burger was decent and the salmon salad looked quite tasty. The cocktails all sound fantastic and looking forward to trying more going forward. The size of the space is still the same, but the seating was rearranged and the facelift that some of the locals helped make happen really jazzed the place up. WTG on a revitalization of a staple location in Castleberry Hill...so far so good in my book. read more

Here's a great tip: as an alternative to parking on the street, pull into the parking lot at No Mas which is right next door, tell them you want to visit Bottle Rocket and they'll let you park there for a $2.50 fee. Then you can walk through No Mas and right next door is Bottle Rocket. I was struck by how small the place was since I heard it was a pretty popular spot, I can imagine it getting really crowded. Luckily, when we visited there was only one large group and the rest of the tables were completely empty. We settled in and ordered some drinks. I picked the Sessions dark Lager which was so yummy, creamy, refreshing and delicious. My wife ordered a dark and stormy which she said was pretty good. Our appetizer, the crab Rangoon, was just okay for me. Crab Rangoon is something I order often from various Japanese restaurants as its one of my favorite apps. When I bite into it I'm expecting an explosion of crab, cream cheese and a bit of the bready wonton; with this crab Rangoon I got crab and wonton but I tasted ZERO cream cheese which was sorely disappointing. I NEED that cream cheese man. For our main course, we ordered the Beat Box, the Ruffio, The Bottle Rocket and the 9.6'er. I don't have much to comment except to say that everything was...OK... nothing wowed us or compelled us to come back again. I remember one of the rolls being SO spicy that I couldn't eat more than one but unfortunately I cant remember which one it was. I don't remember much about the taste of ANY of the rolls to be honest and that's the problem. Bottle Rocket wasn't memorable to me. I just left with a feeling of overall "Meh-ness". Sushi is so expensive that I want to be WOWED every time, that didn't happen here but maybe it was just me? read more

I reserved Bottle Rocket for my client's pre-Super Bowl lunch, on Sunday, February 3, 2019. The owners went out of their way to create an amazing experience for my client and guests. From the festive football-themed décor to the scrumptious buffet of very fresh sushi, fries, burgers and even charming football-themed chocolate-covered strawberries, no detail was left out to put everyone in a festive mood. Bottle Rocket is a very friendly neighborhood joint with an eclectic menu. I highly recommend it. read more

Unimpressive, flavorless and more of a sushi place for those that don't mind if the fish isn't fresh, because they just drench it in soy sauce before they eat. - Street parking - Hip interior - Friendly service - Basic menu, more about booze - Bland, old sushi I found this place on Yelp knowing it was close to the Georgia Dome before the Falcons game. We took a shot, knowing it wouldn't be the most flavorful, authentic sushi. We at least expected it to be fresh, considering the good reviews. I guess these people are rating more on the night scene than food quality. I started with the Temaki Hand Roll ($7) that comes with the option of eel, spicy tuna, or salmon skin. I went with the spicy tuna and ended up putting soy sauce into it for flavor because it was dry. I am not used to hand rolls coming with so much rice, usually more tuna. I thought I would try the whistle...POP! ($13) that has Serrano pepper, tempura shrimp, avocado, and is topped with spicy tuna & tempura fried eel. For the price I expected more flavor. But I guess it just didn't heavy any because the fish wasn't fresh? I don't know. It looked pretty though. My wife got a basic California roll ($7) for my wife, simple and came with larger chunks of crab than usual. My wife finished with the Bottle Rocket ($12) that includes shrimp tempura, avocado, and cream cheese topped with spicy crab salad, eel sauce, spicy mayo. crusted with panko & flash fried. This was the most flavored roll of them all and was actually worth the cost. Each bite made my mouth water. I really wanted some good sushi before the game and ended up having to eat a pizza within an hour because the sushi just didn't fill my craving or hunger. I wouldn't try this place again, I have had better and expect more than pretty looking fish from $15 rolls. read more

Normally, I don't do this, but uhhh...I had to give this experience 2 stars :-( We ordered calamari, but were informed that they didn't have any that day. So we ordered the Big Ass Egg Roll, which would've been tasty if it wasn't dripping with grease. I held out hope for the cocktails, since I read online that they were potent. I chose the Zombie because it was supposed to have a lot of likka in it. It tasted like it had a lot of sugary syrup and no likka. So I settled for a Long Beach Iced Tea....which also tasted like it had no likka in it. Our server didn't seem very intent on being pleasant with us, though we didn't give her a hard time about the grease-dripping Big Ass Egg Roll or my lack of even a hint of a buzz from the cocktails I tried. For our sushi we ordered the Bottle Rocket, Whistle Pop, spicy tuna, and Philly rolls. The spicy rolls were super spicy. I stay away from spicy things, but the Hubs couldn't even take the heat of these rolls. My Bottle Rocket was good. And the Philly was fine. I really had high hopes for this place. I may give it another shot on another day, but right now I'm kinda 'meh' about it...bummer. read more

Had a great, chill time in the relaxed atmosphere, our server Sam was awesome, and each bite of sushi was delicious. They even let me request a custom roll, and this was just my first visit! I'd been wanting to try this place because of its great reviews and because, if it turned out to be a good joint, it would the closest good sushi to my place. I was not disappointed! Aesthetically, it's the weirdest sushi restaurant I've ever seen, but the friendly service from Sam, the variety of menu options, and the tasty sushi we ordered sat just fine with me. We ordered the Pink Lady roll, the Bottle Rocket roll, and I asked for a custom roll with just avocado and salmon. I was so impressed by how Sam said, "IF you tell me what you want, I can have the kitchen make it for you." No sushi server has ever told me that! Every roll was excellent. Fresh fish, fresh avocado, well seasoned and moist/sticky rice, and fresh nori. Wish we could have stayed for more, but sushi always fills me up quickly. Strange atmosphere, great food, can't wait to go back. read more
