    Chicken Caesar Wrap
    Monique A.

    Central City Tavern is a cute little spot in Downtown Alpharetta that can get quite busy, especially on the weekends. It offers a wide variety of food and drink options for those that are interested in spirits. The interior emulates a "pub style" restaurant with bar seating, tabletops, and booths for both small and large parties. Additionally, they offer an exterior seating area that is an extension of the bar itself and allows the outdoor visitors to feel enticed in the Downtown Lifestyle. There is street parking that is first come first served, and a bit difficult to obtain especially during highly populated times of day. Also, a short distance away is the Downtown Alpharetta parking garage that is just steps away from the Town Hall. I've never been disappointed with the taste/flavor of my food, and have always been provided decent service.

    Sat outside at the "window bar". Our bartender was great even though they were very busy. Drinks were solid, tad expensive but not too crazy. Haven't tried the food yet but will in next visit. Fun place for a drink though.

    Wings with Carolina bbq sauce
    Meredith A.

    We came for lunch with our dog on a Thursday & were the only people on the patio. It was so quiet & peaceful. I got the wings with Carolina bbq sauce. They were delicious & super messy! I feel like they should have brought out wet wipes for all the messy sauce! My husband got tacos and we got a plain chicken breast for the dog. The tater tots were perfectly cooked, just the right amount of crispness. The waitress was nice and attentive. It's a good casual lunch spot with basic bar food & I'm sure we will be back!

    Teriyaki Chicken Bowl
    Karo R.

    Yes!!!! This place rock! Loving the lawn area and the 360 bar! This is definitely a vibe. Lots of TV's and friendly faces, they also have a menu that is not for the weak! I tried the teriyaki bowl and it did not disappoint! The cook was nice enough to send a little extra rice. I definitely would recommend this place.

Doing some research, I couldn't find any pricing on it, or even a ton of info about "what it is." So, I decided to go ahead and book it and only after you've started the booking process, do you get pricing ($30 p/person p/hour for a private table.) Since we had five people, we got our own private table. Showing up, we were greeted by our host and shown to a Vegas-like blackjack table, complete with overhead screens, a felt table for cards, and NFC-enabled cards and chips so the computer could track everyone's hands and earnings. This is 100% card-based. All the games have to do with cards and while you can play the old traditional poker games, they have tons of different games you can play, of differing types. All told, we played about five different games. The computer works pretty well, although there were a few times our host had to "reset" something, or fix something the computer did wrong. Our host was a young guy, as was our server. Both were pretty outgoing and friendly and made everyone at the table feel welcome and comfortable. Our server even joined in on a few games with us since it was a slow, Wednesday night. Our table host clearly had some advanced card-training as he was a pretty good shuffler and certainly had more card moves than the average person. All in all, it was a fun night. Since our evening, I've received several text messages inviting us to book again. Unfortunately, the cost is a little prohibitive. I certainly can't drop $350 all the time for my family to do something for a couple of hours. But, the whole place isn't dedicated to group, table games. It's a mixed-use game-slash-restaurant and most of the other people there didn't appear to be gaming. I hope the place stays around, but I feel they need to be a bit more transparent about things. For instance, I had no idea if we needed to tip the server AND the host, so I just left a big tip and hoped they split it. Just info like that and in general, what happens when you're there, might help things.

This mac & cheese was not the best, but that is only because the world's best macaroni and cheese is only to be found at Dave Poe's Barbecue in Marietta Georgia. This m&c was good, though. The ribs were tender and juicy, and fell off the bone. The real star of this trio was the onion rings! Perfectly crispy, perfectly breaded, savory onion slices! Absolutely delectable. If you were up north of Alpharetta just off Highway nine, give Milton Tavern a try!

Not sure if there is an elevator to access Joes. We sat ourselves as there was no hostess. The music was very loud and quite an active place. I didn't mind the music being loud perhaps it brought in the festive evening of it being Nee Year's Eve. Although a bit hard to hear conversation but we managed. I loved all the decorations celebrating Christmas and New Year's Eve. Really done up inside the restaurant. There were lots of tables, very large bar and there is even a back side with a whole other room. Not sure if it's for larger parties or the general public as well. Didn't know about it until I walked through to check the restaurant out. We ordered Margaritas and for the price of $6.50 they were very good, can't complain. I shared a bbq bacon burger with my husband and it was delicious. We were asked how we wanted our meat cooked. The burger was large enough to share along with fries which were very good as well. I suppose they could have been a bit hotter for my liking. My daughter enjoyed their steak plate said it was cooked nicely and very tasty. Our son-in-law opted for chili hot dogs which came with two and fries. He too enjoyed them and didn't finish the two. It seemed like there were many regulars chit chatting with each other. They do have an outside dining area but it wasn't being manned that evening. Also have an outside smoking area accessible through the main dining room. The women's bathrooms were even decorated for the holidays which was fun!! The staff were friendly but we had many different servers which struck us funny. Definitely will return with our kids. Reading the menu items, it seems the food is fresh and made when ordered. Apparently the pizza dough is made fresh daily so I'd like to try it next time. The menu has many options to try.
