    Hammer's is a divey spot with great service. Our drinks were perfect while we played pinball, pool, and Keno. Our waitress was amazing, very personable, and thoughtful, she made the visit extra special. We ate before we came so we didn't order any food but I saw a plentiful Chef Salad go by that I would absolutely order in the future. Smoking is allowed in this establishment except for cigars but there is an outdoor patio where cigar smokers can go. There's a fairly large parking lot.

    I def enjoy coming here for the company, but the drink and food service is horrible. I've been twice, the first time after waiting 20 minutes and never being served, we left. We decided to give it a second chance because we wanted to check out the volleyball court, and it took a while to get a drink, and the volleyball court was reserved so we weren't really allowed to play. Apparently you need to reserve the space, and get a ball. Otherwise, the plus side, the drinks were good, and the atmosphere was fun! Lots of open seating that makes you feel like you are outside of Atlanta (could go without the cigarette smoke though). Will come back just because it's a unique concept, and I'm convinced there is something I should be doing to get better service. Also - 2 drink minimum!

    It's very clear that this location is not professional at all. This was my second time there. The first time I thought that the reason why I was greeted and properly was because I did not have my ID when I asked for a drink. I completely understand that because every bar must ask for ID. But this was almost a year ago, what this part did not understand was this was the week of my birthday and I decided to come back and get a drink Just Me Myself and i. When I walked up to the bar I noticed that the bartender already gave me a certain look, couldn't understand why. But I proceeded anyways assuming that maybe she's just having a bad day or going through whatever she is going through. I sat on one side of the bar realizing that maybe I was too far from the other people that were ordering on the other side so I decided to cross over so that way I could communicate with the bartender. She still continue to be rude. I don't know if she was having a bad day I just felt like it's not fair that she decided to put this energy on to me. I tried to ask about different drinks and different foods but the whole time she still had an attitude. I still ordered my food and even though I tried to ask for forks and knives she didn't offer me anything but I waited until the end of my meal and by then it was too late. I really did not enjoy my time there. When I went to pay I realized she charged me 18% on top of the meal. When I asked around all the other people that were eating told me that yes she definitely did charge me more than she was supposed to. I low-key feel like this location is possibly favoritism and racism. How in the world am I getting charged 18% tip just because I'm asking questions? The bartender also said that I was talking s*** to the other guess that we're eating when in reality I was just asking questions about how long this place has been open for. I was just asking about the history of the location and the vibe and the energy but somehow I got treated as someone who came here to argue and fight. I had every right to yell at the end when the bartender got rude and told me if I could not afford the food then why did I come there to eat! Not realizing that she was talking to a hair stylist who just came from doing her clients hair. I really wanted to ask her if you're not happy why are you even there working. And the fact that I took a picture of the bartender because she wouldn't give me her name! She said she would sue me but how can you sue me when you are a servicer servicing someone who comes to pay you and you're being so extremely rude! I'm pretty sure there are cameras around sue me I'm waiting for it! Because I have my proof as well!

I brought in some fans when the air was out a couple of days ago. Let me preface by saying that I did this to help my friends. I didn't want anyone to have to work in ridiculous heat. I brought two small fans and one large. I got my two small fans yesterday, no problem at all. I came in tonight and Yanna (who I have always been cool and amicable with, for quite a while), acted like my last fan wasn't available and it was somehow stolen, though I had seen it hanging over the staircase the night before. It would simply be ok with me to get my property back. It's shameful that any of this turned out the way it did. I'm literally one of the quietest and nicest people that anyone ever deals with. I did not have any kind of negative interaction, but was treated as if I was being a nuisance and causing a problem. I am always kind and calm, I never have any issue with any server or bartender. It really disappoints me because I've always been a kind guest, and have always been treated well. But I think my time with Chairs is now done. It sucks, because all of my interactions with everyone leading to this moment has been really great. Jess, Cay, Ike, Nigel, Major, Kelly. Everyone until one stupid night with one stupid fan. I was not at all forceful, just inquisitive. I really feel like Yanna didn't have an answer for a very soft question and instead of looking into it, turned me into a villain, using Jess as a stopgap in order to avoid dealing with a very simple situation that could have just been dealt with by either giving my fan back, or the owner spending fifty bucks on a fan of the same caliber and writing it off as a business expense. This is all very sad. I enjoyed being at chairs. I'm done.

We were…read moregoing to go to this other dive bar, but we decided to come here because I passed it or thought I had passed it and we ended up spending the afternoon here and meeting a great bartender by the name of Amanda. Amanda took such great care of us and make sure we're OK. We expressed that it was our first time having food here and she gave us some great recommendations. We ended up having wings, but the wings were so good and they even gave us one or two extra. I did have a hookah and when he brought me a refill, I asked how much and he said he always includes a free refill, which is very rare in Atlanta because they will charge you for everything! But I gave him a tip so all is well I will be back to watch a basketball game in the next few days and I'm sure I'll have the same experience! I can't wait and when you come, make sure you ask for Amanda The only reason why I knocked off one star is because you can't smoke cigarettes and black and Miles and hookah and cigars in here so it can get very very smoky.

She brought my food over and did not come back to check on me. I literally had to ask for my bill. I paid and left feeling that they only welcome the regulars and are not open to new customers. The 2 stars is based on the ease of parking in the back and the okay food.

The reviews were decent so I figured why not give it a try. It's attached to a gas station which gave me pause but I decided to try it anyhow. When we walked in, it immediately smelled like cigarette smoke. In any other instance I would've turned around but I was so hungry and there was actually a lot of foot traffic so I proceeded. The spot itself was crowded with boxes everywhere and it felt super grungy but I knew what I was getting myself into. Ordering and getting my tacos was pretty easy - made to order but came out quick. I settled on some chicken tacos. Once I got home I was slightly disappointed. The chicken really didn't have any seasoning and flavor. Once I added my hot sauces it was good but I just wanted a little more flavor to work with. As crazy as it sounds, I would try the birria if I was ever in the area, it seemed to be literally what everyone else was ordering. Overall wouldn't necessarily recommend but it wasn't terrible.

I opened my tacos to see how they were looking and there was absolutely no cheese at all. Cheese is one of the main ingredients of a quesabirria taco. How did you forget that? Now let's get to the worst of it all. Before I thoroughly picked through the meat I started tearing the 2nd layers of the tacos off to prepare to eat it because I don't like to eat a double taco shell. I was gonna take the L and just add my own cheese until I realized about 70% of the "meat" was fat and the weird connective tissue looking stuff ( the fat is the lighter parts in the meat mixture and look at the stuff I was stretching in my video). So now I'm taking it back for a refund. I let the cashier know it was mostly fat, and I was there for a refund. She took it back to the kitchen, returned trying to see if I wanted something else on the menu, and I told her I didn't want anything else after my experience with the tacos. At this point she has an attitude and asked me did I have my receipt like she didn't just see me 15 mins prior. After going back and forth with me she hands me $14 when the cost was $16.83. I told her she shorted me and she goes back and forth with me again. I showed her the receipt. She accused me of eating one of the tacos and you couldn't pay me to eat those scraps! She asked for the money back she already gave me before she would give me the right amount back. I did and then she hands me $16. I went off and told her I wanted every dollar of my money back and she tells me to have a good night and walked off. Clayton County just happened to be in the parking lot dealing with something else so I went out and talked to a officer about coming in to assist me with getting my refund. I went back in and told her that she can either give me my other dollar or deal with the officer when they come in. She finally gives me the dollar and says you're obviously broke and you need it. Baby let's be clear, I probably make more in a day than what you make on your 1 week check. It's about principle. Y'all made me waste my gas, my time, and gave me poor quality scraps. You owe me every dime I gave y'all and more. The officer came in and asked me was I good. I let the officer know I now had all my money and went home. HORRIBLE PLACE, HORRIBLE CASHIER, AND I RECEIVED HORRIBLE QUALITY FOOD.
