    Stromboli
    Kevin W.

    I really like the feel of this bar. It feels like a great local bar where everyone knows each other and the vibe is real chill. Let's start with the bad. The parking lot has only 9 spaces and one path to enter/exit the premise. There is some street parking but you have to pay for that. The place looks huge. Plenty of seating and TVs at the bar. There is an upstairs and outside patio. I ordered the Stromboli which was huge and cheesy. I also grabbed a beer and cocktail which were good. I like this place.

    I just needed to come back to this review and give an update because my last visit TOPPED my first. Y'all.... Do yourself a favor and try the Bianca pizza with prosciutto. When I say I almost fell out of my seat... that pizza had me about to fall out of my seat! It was good the first time but HONEY I had to run back to the review to tell you that the prosciutto takes it to another level. I'll fawn over good pizza any day and this unassuming bar serves it. The wings were still awesome and I'm 90% sure they make a house ranch because it was the most unique ranch I've ever tasted at a BAR (of all places). We also got the pigs in a blanket this time. The blanket is REAL pizza dough, and the pig was the biggest beef pig I've ever had in this type of appetizer. The mustard they served it with provided the perfect balance for the flavor. Whoever is in that kitchen is working with blessed hands because I've never had bar food this impressive in quality. I also want to shout out our server who I think is named Amber. She was incredibly attentive and very pleasant the entire time. This will continue to be my late night spot, for certain.

    Great spot for a casual drink and bite to eat on the weekend. Ambiance is super cool - golden walls, red accents make for a unique atmosphere. There are plenty of TVs to watch the game and a patio to sit outside when the weather's nice. The service is reliable at Elbow Room as well. Overall, hits on all marks!

    Absolutely no doubt in my mind the best in town. Hidden gem but not for the locals.The food we had was 10 out of 10. Service was friendly and fast and the ambiance was chill this day. I heard it can get noisy on the weekends. Not a lot of parking and parking is tight ( drive the small car ) This place is so good I would pay for parking just to eat here.

    Dog friendly patio, good beer and chicken tenders, why am I not here more often?? Parking is a bit of an annoyance but we got lucky and found a spot on the street right in front of the restaurant. It was a little damp out but we were able to find a dry seat on the patio and brought the pup along. Service was slow but she brought a water bowl for our pup, so we were satisfied. I had dinner plans later in the evening but I was starving and wanted a quick snack beforehand. The beer battered chicken fingers were hot and crispy and really hit the spot. The tots were a nice touch too, versus regular fries. Paired with a cold Scofflaw POG basement beer and I was a happy camper. Next time I'm looking for a casual bite to eat in Buckhead, I'll definitely be hitting up Elbow Room again.

    Cool spot for late nite eats and dranks. The service is always great and the food's always been a win for me. We usually go for the pizza, but the wings are good as well. Can't miss this staple in the Atlanta bar scene!

    This is as much of a dive sports bar as you're going to get near the Shops of Buckhead. Lot's of TV's, solid food and drink options, and kitschy interior. Our waitress was very attentive although I came at a quiet time. Also had to pay for parking as there are limited options in that area.

    Nice clean and happening! We ordered cheeseburgers. Service was quick. Nicole and I had a beer too. We were in town for the French Festival which was a couple of blocks away. That was fun. The restaurant has inside and outdoor seating. The burgers and fries were no joke and good, but perhaps that I was just especially hungry.

    The service was really nice and friendly but the place is run down. They really should spend some money and refurbish.

    Is it gay friendly?

    I don't think it's overtly gay-positive or anything but the waitresses are all super nice and I don't think they'd take issue with a group of gay men or women

    Do they have hookah?

    Hello, sorry they don't

    I had a layover in Atlanta and saw this place had a decent crowd. I stopped by and was greeted and…read morethen was informed it would be at least a 20 minute wait. I wasn't surprised, because I saw the crowds. I crossed over to the other side of the terminal and was called back as they had someone that was leaving. I was grateful. The hostess was so wonderful and nice and it felt like I was a family member being welcomed into her home. I ordered a Club Sandwich and a Club soda. It was great. The Sandwich was huge! I couldn't finish it. They had great music and great food. It was super busy the whole time. If I'm in this terminal again, I would definitely consider going back.

    All Star? Barely a one star. And it's too bad, because I think the food would have been pretty…read moregood. But if you're between flights, this is not a great stop. We had 60 minutes to board. But our order took over 40 minutes, and only after we complained. I can't blame the servers, they were constantly apologizing. But the kitchen staff needs a good kick in the butt. Add to the delay, dirty tables. Dirty floor. And you understand why this place struck out. The nachos looked pretty good. But because we had to get them to go, they were soggy by the time we tried them. Same for lemon pepper wings. A quick bite told me these would have been pretty good if I didn't have to bring them on the plane in styrofoam. The side salad to go? Fine. If only the server remembered the dressing requested. All in all. A major leave decision disappointment.
