A cute venue- a multi-sided bar, cozy dining room, and additional upstairs levels. It has a great patio where I sat (sort of isolated from street level, which is preferable in an urban setting). There's lunch specials and quite a decent bar menu. Standouts were the option for a half-paella of the day for lunch (batch-made obviously) and a sleeper dessert that was one of the best I've had (flan and ice cream), a mere $6 add-on to your lunch special. Incentive to indulge! Croquettas were less interesting and the paella isn't as intensely flavored as typical in Spain, but here in Atlanta entirely decent. This section of the city near the Federal Reserve has quite a few interesting dining options. I liked Bulla's open design. Lots of green space nearby and decent sidewalks for walking around after your meal.

Huevos Bravos
Yaminah M.

My best friend and I were in town for a music festival and ended up at Bulla Gastrobar after our original brunch spot was too crowded. We sat at the bar and were taken care of by Charles, who was incredible. He knew the menu well, gave great recommendations, and made the experience easy and fun from start to finish. I ordered Montaditos de Salmon, Huevos Bravos, and the Torrija for dessert from Prix Fixe menu. Everything was beautifully presented and full of flavor! The bottomless mimosas and sangrias were a perfect touch. The passion fruit mimosa was great, but the beer sangria was shockingly good...and I'm not a beer drinker. Even with what looked like a busy bar and fewer hands than usual, Charles managed it all with ease and kept the vibe upbeat the whole time. The manager also came by to check in, which was a nice personal touch. All around, a 10/10 brunch! Great food, great drinks, and top-notch service.

Steak
Lily S.

HH till 6:30 Food options and yummy cocktails special for HH. We loved the steak on toasted bread with shishito peppers. The chicken skewer was juicy and tender, but was lowkey salty. The garlic shrimp was unbearably salty, we had to send it back.

Braised Pork Hash & Coconut Flan

Bulla Gastrobar sits on a lively street and definitely has the quality of food that makes it stand out. I came here for a bottomless brunch and although we arrived near the end of the allotted time, our waiter took great care of us and made sure we had several drinks. That type of service makes me want to come back. In additional to the service, the food here is awesome. I did a three course brunch which came with a pork hash, a flatbread, and dessert. The portions are decent and didn't have room to eat much more afterward. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.

Paella Mixta
Amber L.

I have referred/ brought so many business lunches here! The salmon with the cream sauce is absolutely amazing and never dry. The tuna tartare is so fresh and cool which just hits the spot on a hot summer day. Their two for $15 tapas deal is great for sharing and allows you to sample a good portion of the menu. All the wine is stellar. Staff is usually pretty friendly and helpful but we did have a server once who was pretty rude. I let the manager know and they took over for the rest of the time we were there so it was pretty reactive. Love that! It saved what would have otherwise been a terrible time. I'll still recommend this spot for business lunches or nice chill spot before a show at the fox or something nearby

Very good tapas place in midtown Atlanta! I came here for lunch with a friend, and we both ordered the lunch specials menu. Service overall was a little slow. It is $17 for an appetizer and entree option, with additional costs for form upgraded entrees. I got the salmon carpaccio and chicken paella bowl (+$3). The salmon carpaccio was fresh, but a little too much dressing for me. The paella was really good, although a little salty. Overall, this was a great restaurant and I would love to come back and try some more tapas.

Paella Mixta
Ansley C.

Our server Milton was great! He was very attentive. The food was incredible with the paella being the highlight! The indoor bar was also a great vibe to grab a cocktail before gabbing seated. We came for a birthday and felt throughly celebrated!

Janet B.

Super cute little tapas place! This was such a vibe for happy hour, they had several affordable food and drink specials. Their steak montaditos were probably my fave, along with their pintxo de pollo. You also can't go wrong with their patatas bravas. We sat at the bar and enjoyed some cosmos and our server was very attentive, food kept coming out fresh and perfectly portioned. Definitely come for happy hour! We probably had about 3-4 cocktails each and like 7 apps all for a bill.

Bulla Gastrobar was a great accidental find. After spending the day at Truist Park I wanted to find a tasty dinner. Bulla didn't disappoint. I sat at the bar and was well attended to by the staff, including a couple visits by the GM. I was lucky to arrive during happy hour and tried the sautéed garlic shrimp...wow! Super tasty! I also had the Manchego & Serrano plate and the Patatas Bravas. This potato dish was the star of the show. Unfortunately, they were out of beer, which forced me to try some cocktails. The French 75 was classic, refreshing and expertly crafted. As a gin lover, I decided to also try the Proper Gin & Tonic. Wow! A great combination of a floral gin with star anise and juniper berries. I wish I could have enjoyed more than one. My next visit to ATL will definitely include a stop at Bulla!

Happy hour menu
Lauren R.

Recently went to the happy hour with some friends. There's a food and drink menu specifically for bar area. We tried the grilled chicken skewer, smoked salmon montaditos, steak montaditos, tuna tartare wonton crisps, truffle fries and ham croquettes (not pictured). Overall food was good, portions are small bites for happy hour. The bartender was helpful with the Hh menu. We tried the French 75 and lady killer cosmo. He was willing to help me make drinks skinny. We were there 3-4:45 on a Friday. It wasn't busy during that time. We found metered parking on the street but they will validate parking for you in the garage if there's parking available. Overall would return for a meetup with a friend for happy hour.

Manchego with toast, nuts and fig or guava jelly or paste. Lovely!
Elizabeth S.

Not only was this one of the best tapas restaurants I've ever experienced, but our dinner at Bulla was one of the best meals I've ever had. Before I get to the food, MAJOR props to our wonderful server, Ilyeana, who had awesome recommendations and helped us make great choices -- and the perfect number so we still had room to share dessert. Thank you! Here are the dishes we had: 1. A lovely manchego, which came with small toasts, nuts and what I think was guava or fig paste. Whatever it was, it complimented the manchego perfectly! 2. Albondingas. Light, airy, but super flavorful meatballs in sauce. 3. Patatas bravas. You may be thinking, "I've had these before at other places." Well, you haven't had them HERE. Highly, highly recommend -- and the sauce has a nice kick to it. 4. Ham croquettes -- Again, LIGHT. I usually steer away from croquettes when I get tapas because they feel so heavy; these were delicious and again, light. 5. Chicken Fideua -- Oh my goodness, YUM. It's like Spanish pad thai, but totally different taste. Rice noodles with tender chicken, spices (flavorful, not hot), chickpeas and, well, unicorn dust, I think. SO GOOD. 6. SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST: Chorizo Stuffed Dates -- EHRMAGERD. They were roasted or seared or something magical -- one of the most delicious appetizers/small plates I've ever experienced! (By the way, we were three people in total, and this was perfect for us). As I mentioned, we had room for dessert -- so we shared a coconut flan and an oreo cheesecake. They were both good, but I LOVED the cheesecake. You know how cheesecake can be dense and heavy? Again -- the theme of this restaurant is LIGHT and FLAVORFUL. Once again -- the best Oreo cheesecake I've ever had. We were only in town for a few days and had hoped to return -- but we didn't get back this trip. But when I'm in Atlanta again, I definitely will make it back to Bulla -- and in the meantime, plan to review where the other locations are to see if I can make it to another location in the meantime!

Pimentos de padron (grilled shishito peppers)
Leyang Z.

The Spanish restaurant that I go to most frequently in Atlanta. The restaurant offers lunch and dinners, with different menus. Have been there for quite a few times. The lunch was good and really worth the price. At $17 I get a big bowl of delicious butternut soup (seasonal dish) and a personal size paella. For dinner, I have tried quite a few dishes like the chicken paella, grilled shishito peppers, Pollo Al Chillindron (chicken stewed in red pepper sauce), Mallorcan style lamb, chicken fideua, etc. The shishito peppers dish is a must-order. The seasonal dish Mallorcan style lamb is also very creative and tasty. However, their paella could be less salty. Besides, service is just Okay. Sometimes it is too slow. The good thing is that you can scan a QR code to make the payment.

Sauteed Garlic Shrimp
Chan F.

Bulla Gastrobar in Midtown is a cozy spot with a modern American-Spanish twist. It's not a huge place, but I found parking easily on a Sunday evening--always a win in Atlanta. I met up with a friend visiting from out of town for dinner and drinks, and we were seated at one of the countertop tables near the entrance. The atmosphere was lively but not overwhelming. The lighting was a bit bright, and the music was low enough that we were probably louder than the speakers (classic New York and New Jersey energy!). The menu is tapas-style, perfect for sharing. While they do offer paella, I passed--being a regular visitor to Barcelona, I'm pretty skeptical of paella anywhere on this side of the Atlantic. That said, their tortilla was fantastic, and the garlic shrimp hit all the right notes--savory, buttery, and just garlicky enough. It's a solid choice for a casual meetup with great service and shareable plates. I'd definitely go back to try a few more dishes--and maybe brave the paella next time.

It was delicious, but it could've not had juices leaking so much? Maybe cheese below and above the meat to try to keep some of the juices off the bun or maybe more bun toasting? The fries were amazing and I should've gotten the aolie initially, but didn't get it until I saw another table with an order. It was delicious. The service was very good.

I'm thrilled to share that I finally stopped by Brick Store Pub last Friday! I've visited Downtown…read moreDecatur Square countless times and walked past this spot over and over but this time, I got lucky and made it in for a drink. Brick Store Pub is an incredible place. The staff are fantastic, personable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. They really know their craft and are happy to share recommendations on both drinks and food. The ambiance adds so much to the experience, I recommend you to come and relax on the patio or grab a seat at the bar. There's such a great vibe all around that makes you want to stay awhile. If you're in the area, definitely stop by, you'll enjoy every bit of the atmosphere that Brick Store has been giving all this time. I will be back!

Was meeting friends for…read morelunch and tried to call to make a reservation since there were 6 of us for a Saturday and there was going to be a music festival that afternoon. Got a text back saying they don't take reservations, it's first come, first serve, but they would do what they could to accomodate us. 4 of us were seated and we had 2 more coming before we wanted to order. The wait staff was attentive, making sure we had our beverages and if we needed anything before the 2 arrived. Once they arrived, the staff gave us a few minutes to make sure the 2 had a chance to look at the menus. We ordered appetizers to start...corn bread, sage fried pierogies and poutine. We weren't sure about the poutine because we didn't see any gravy, we did see the cheese curds on the fries, but once we finally dug in, the gravy was at the bottom. The pierogies were tasty. We asked if they could cut the cornbread so each of us could get a taste, which they did. Corn bread had a toasted texture, and the honey butter was delicious! Everyone ordered something different. One had fish and chips, which would seem to be a likely order for a pub. Their special for the day was a ruben. Another ordered a falafel sandwich, and I think 2 salmon BLT's and then one salad with rainbow trout. Portions were not overwhelming, but we realized that we were full from the appetizers and almost everyone ended up taking most of their main choices in doggie bags (boxes). As time got closer to the festival to start, it did get crowded, but the staff handled the influx of people and people were seated relatively quickly. This was a nice destination as most of the group live a drive from Decatur. Lovely afternoon visit!

Our server, Trey, was awesome. He was attentive, friendly, and really helped make the experience smooth from start to finish. One thing I loved about Argosy is the ambiance. It can go either way--you can keep it super casual or dress it up a bit for a night out. I also noticed they have karaoke on certain nights, which I definitely plan on coming back for. We started with cocktails and ordered the Rosé Cadillac (I took a picture of the menu for details), and it was really good. As a self-proclaimed lightweight, I appreciated that it was enjoyable without being too overwhelming. For food, we split a wood-fired pizza--the "Boss Hogg"--and each got a six-piece order of lemon pepper wings. The wings were okay, but the pizza? Absolutely slammin. Looking back, I definitely should've taken some home. Overall, Argosy feels like one of those spots that works for any occasion--date night, casual hangout, or group outing. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu and bring some friends along.
