Park Bar (Atlanta Georgia)

Park Bar, 150 Walton Street NW, Atlanta Georgia, USA downtown by CNN.  It has a very nice long sit up bar that seats 18 people.  They have 12 different types of beer on tap.  There are a few flat screen TV's and one projection TV.  They have two big tables of 8 that are on locking wheels, so they can easily be moved. Once again there is one toilet for men and one for women, but they are very clean and modern. Their specialty is burgers and I had one and it was good.  They are across from CNN world headquarters. It is owned by two local guys who also own the near by Sidebar.  This bar opened on 2011. They were out of a few things when we were there such as mushrooms and onion rings??  There is an upstairs area but it was closed for a private event. It is also a narrow bar with more tables across from the bar.  It was quite busy for the lunch rush.  Wine was not bad either.  All in all it was pretty good!

Vortex Bar and Grill (Atlanta Georgia)

Vortex Bar and Grill, 878 Peachtree Street NE, Atlanta Georgia, USA in Midtown area.  This is the newer of the two Vortex bars.  Very cool place in side, as there is something on every surface space of the bar. from beer trays to a giant 3 ft tall wood penis and everything in between.  The sit up bar seats 25 people and is very long.  They have a huge selection of liquor.  100 different bottles of beer, 28 different Single Malt Scotch, 25 different whiskies, 23 different Bourbon,  18 different beer on tap 20 different tequila's and 4 white and 4 red wine.  for food, I had, get this: Mac "N" Cheesy-Changa, stuffed flour tortilla with macaroni and cheese and BBQ pulled pork, then deep fried, topped with a drizzle of their famous Cheesey-Goo and BBQ sauce on the side.  It was every bit as good as it sounds.  You have to try it!  There is smoking allowed in here. Service was very good. You spend a lot of time looking at everything there is in here.  two motorcycles with skeletons riding them, neon slights, posters, the list goes on! I would recommend that you go here and try it out.  If you feel up to it, get our picture taken with the giant penis......

Joe's On Juniper (Atlanta Georgia)

Joe's on Juniper, 1049 Juniper, Atlanta Georgia, USA, in the Midtown district. It is an old house converted in to a pub, they have purchased the old house next door and hope to expand their venue.  They are very flamboyant here and their marketing  is very suggestive.  So go with an open mind.  In front is a very large outside patio area with 40 tables all under a large sprawling tree which makes for nice shade.  There is a covered veranda as you enter in the front with 6 pub height tables.  I happened to be there on a Sunday morning on Mother's Day.  There were lots of people taking their Mom out for brunch.  Inside there is lots of sports themed items on the walls and hanging from the ceiling.  Wine starts at $5.00 for a decent wine, not bad! The food looked very good, but we only had chips and salsa.

Meehan's Public House (Atlanta Georgia)

Meehan's Public House, 200 Peachtree Street, Atlanta Georgia, USA right downtown.  Ph 404-214-9821. www.101concepts.com  This is a long narrow, Irish themed bar.  They have a beautiful long sit up bar that seats 25 people.  There are 4 very cool, cozy booths.  They are covered on all 3 sides almost like your own private little booth.  Down towards the back they have a room with a fireplace that is also very nice!  As for beer, they have 25 different types on tap.  I had the Sheppard's pie, made with lamb like it should be.  It was a large portion and very good.  You can get a decent glass of wine here. I would have it again!  This place s very popular and very busy, and for good reason.  They have a self serve Bloody Mary bar, I guess they supply the booze and you make it how ever you want to. I would go here again if I had a chance!
