Gopi JayaprakashAugust 12, 2018Same old spot with pool and darts... Has that really good vibe and a perfect place to bring your date after dinner to continue the conversation.
This place totally has grown on me. Many reasons. (1) The smoke situation isn't as intense as the Highlander's. (2) Lots of pool tables. (3) The $5 PB&J deal (Pabst Blue + Jameson) is unbelievable.
Creative Loafing AtlantaJune 2, 2016Located directly above the Highlander, the Independent has board games aplenty, dartboards, and a room full of charge-by-the-hour regulation-size pool tables. The menu includes typical bar fare. Read more
Low key no frills neighborhood pub type bar with a focus on billiards, darts, and trivia. Tables are in good condition. Food is decent, and booze priced fair. Great cross-section of different folks.- Intown Expert, Jennifer Kjellgren & AssociatesFebruary 8, 2013The best place in Midtown for late-night billiards and beer. You may have to wait for a free table though, especially on the weekends.
Cameron MonieFebruary 6, 2013Trivia is awesome...if you're searching for a healthy option to relieve the guilt of a rad pint, don't. The salad is crap. Dry chicken and iffy (but delightfully non-iceburg) lettuce. Live in guilt <3
Vivian WenFebruary 24, 2014Board games and darts make for a great night at the bar! My only complaint is the smokers at the bar after 11pm!
AtlantaAugust 20, 2010Not just billiards! Voted Best Trivia Night in Creative Loafing's 2009 Best of ATL Reader's Choice poll. General trivia on Tues, music trivia Wed, movie trivia Thurs. Or play SNES or Connect Four!
Holy crap! You should ask for the Italian Sausage Sandwich covered in tasty grilled onions. It's like meat heaven.
- tuesday nights: $2 shots of Jameson & $2 high life. woooo!

"The menu changed recently. It seems to have kept the best around (buffalo-jerk wings) and added a lot of different options for sliders, which you can mix & match. The only downside is no more tacos!"

"Being from Philly I stuck with old school onions and provolone. It was the best I've had in Atlanta. The black and white shake was delicious also"
