The decor is beautiful in here in red and black go very well together I was greeted when I walked in by the host and advised I was going to the bar for a second. I've been sat down and scammed the QR code to look at the menu. I decided to tell her what kind of tequila I liked and allow her to do her thing I didn't have anything particular in mind, but I was glad I let the bartender do what she does best. My drink was freaking delicious! I did look at the menu to see what I wanted and decided on the hot honey chicken sandwich. This sandwich came out and it was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had and I am a chicken sandwich connoisseur by trade. I had just a couple of fries and then seasoning very well, but I didn't need them because the chicken sandwich was so filling I got a hookah and told her I like something fruity and she made me the best hookah I've had in a long time. I was able to blow for hours and the coals did not go out nor did I need a refill. When I tell you guys, I'll be back very soon and I'm going to invite my friends here, it'll be insane when we come. The food is phenomenal. Teddy, who is the trained Chef and curated this menu, you did your big one! Bring your friends and try everything

Locals know it well -it's been serving the neighborhoods around Normaltown for decades-and it looks the part., Food: 5 stars for their Cincinnati-style chili on French fries , by the bowl, or with hotdogs. Sandwiches are always good size and tasty. We like their Reuben and Rachel as well as the various BLT's. Food is a strong point. Service : Staff are very pleasant and the service is quick. Facility: 2- star (Sorry-but it's true) Old interior, but they have attempted to keep it serviceable. The bathrooms are a good reason to use hand sanitizer instead of washing your hands, IMHO. Lots of various beer cans for decor. Location: Very conveniently located on main thoroughfare just outside Athens in Normaltown between the hardware store and the Mexican restaurant. A few parking spaces on the street, more in the rear.

The staff behind the bar is very friendly and attentive. The only downside is that parking is not great with street parking is the only option. It was worth circling the block a few times before I got a spot! Can't wait to try another one of their awesome comfort food specialties!

We ended…read moreup staying here and thought that the lounge attached to the hotel would be a nice place to hang out . Well, it has much to be desired. We went on 3 nights (Saturday,Sunday & Monday). Saturday night it was basically empty. We ordered 1 drink a piece which were pretty good actually, but there were only maybe 10 people including the bartender. There was NO entertainment, DJ, not even the Jukebox was playing so we left. Sunday night was karaoke and there were approx 25 people there with a DJ and it was decent until the hefty birthday girl and her buddies started twerking and acting silly on the stripper pole before they left. Sunday night we returned after hanging out downtown and realized that Robert Lee Coleman would be there, so we decided to check it out. His performance was wonderful. It is nice to see that he continues to play and enjoy his craft in his later years. I pray that the band of misfits he plays with are taking care of him and not using this elderly man for their financial benefit however meager it may be. The one young guitar player to his back left by the speaker appeared to be high/drunk not able to see or walk and had to be helped off stage. Once he sat down at a table he seemed to nod off several times before he was removed just to reappear a few minutes later full of energy and vitality. What did they do to him or give him I am not sure. But, a certain medication that will remain nameless, can be given to offset the bad effects I suspect he may have been given. Overall, I believe this place truly has potential it just needs the right owners, management, and staff to turn this place around.

One of the best parts is how easy it is when you arrive--you can walk right in, pick your table, and get settled without any hassle. They have call buttons at each table to request a server, which makes ordering seamless. The service was really good--attentive, quick, and consistent throughout. The hookah itself was a standout. They offer a wide range of flavors, ice hoses, and use silicone bowls, which I personally love. Everything was smooth and well-prepared. There was also a DJ playing, which added a nice vibe to the atmosphere, and they have a large menu with plenty of food options. I tried the wings--they were decent, nothing special--but overall, the experience, hookah quality, and service make this a solid spot to come back to.

Not that large that I would think it's a lounge, more like a bar or pub. You have to scan to pull up the menu and immediately there's no wine or drink menu. Princess our waitress suggested the wine daiquiris which was a mix of strawberry and mango. It was overly sweet and couldn't even taste any wine, so my friend didn't even drink hers. The "tapas" menu was only like 4 things to choose from, we expected much more. We had honey lemon pepper wings, jerk salmon bites first. I then ordered after asking if they do Buffalo with lemon pepper since that wasn't an option wings. That's an extra 75 cents to make what is a common wing flavor. So they are setting up birthday parties, while we are wrapping up. This location opened October 2022, and we were told by our waitress that brunch was better and more options. We automatically charged gratuity although it was only 2 of us and we weren't told until we had to pay. The music was so loud we had to ask for it to be turned down so we could hear and talk. There was no one there but the employees because they had no customers. With all the plazas around it was hard to find this place, even the employees order food from Uber instead of eating here. I like to support small businesses but would say this is not somewhere I want to go again or recommend to anyone else. Our waitress, Princess was very nice and attentive despite all the negatives.

The process to place a reservation for a group was seamless and I received a response within 24 hours. I found the menu online and was pleasantly surprised at the prices. They were what I would consider typical for brunch in the metro Atlanta area. Upon arrival on the day of my brunch there was a DJ playing music and I met the owner Voneka. She was so nice and it was good to finally put a face with the person I had been texting. Immediately, I loved the decor and I loved the vibe. This space is super cute and very quaint. I loved the colors and the VIP area. They are amazing photo opportunity spots. The candles on the table added that extra touch of cuteness and they smelled amazing. Our server Princess was very friendly and polite. She was accommodating and ensured she communicated with us often. We LOVED the food and the drinks were superb. In our group we really enjoyed the wine slushie, the salmon omelette, the salmon grits, and the breakfast sliders. The service at this spot was absolutely amazing. The food and drinks tasted amazing. The DJ played great music and it wasn't too loud that we couldn't hear one another. We sang, we danced, and we had a great time. This venue did it all. We will definitely be back. Parking is the lot of the shopping center and there are lots of spaces directly in front of the venue.

Personal preference, but the cheese dip is a little bland and a little pricey, so maybe skip it, and get a nice beer instead, they have a decent selection of local options and your favorites.
