Black Bear Tavern - Atlanta

I would give a better rating because I have been a few times and really enjoyed it,then tonight My son and his dad went and brought My food back to me..it was not what I ordered at all and I was on the phone with my son when he ordered it and I know he ordered correct.. I called them and they tried to tell me he ordered it wrong when I know he didn't... They said the waitress didn't write anything down and kept getting mixed up.. so I am a little disappointed since I don't have a way to get there and they didn't want to make it right anyway..

Across from Piedmont Hospital, small, comfy neighborhood bar. Serves a variety of great bar foods, claims to be best burger in the ATL. Two folks had burgers and were happily satisfied. Another had the Big Fish sandwich; fish extended well beyond the bun, whitefish fried to perfection with a spicy tartar sauce. I had the wedge salad, best I've had in years. It arrived deconstructed with loads of bacon, tomatoes, and blue cheese. So easy to then mix with my blue cheese salad dressing. Very fresh. Prices are reasonable. Great variety to choose from. Went on Sunday afternoon, not crowded. But, it for sure seems like a great, friendly, comfy, neighborhood watering hole with great food at great prices. Plan to return on next visit to town.

Jenny took great care of us. We went for late lunch and the drinks she crafted were top notch. The food was fresh and arrived to the table fast. She was the only person working the bar and tables at that time of day, and she was friendly and gracious. Having a professional running the place makes the difference. Kudos to the kitchen staff for getting our meals ready fast and accurately. We are looking forward to returning to the Black Bear Tavern! Highly recommended.

My husband and I went in here yesterday to give it a try (doing the tourist thing). We were ignored for about five minutes and sat at a high top that was right by the entrance and decided we should probably find another table. (It was seat yourself). One of the employees promptly tells us we can't sit at the two tables available because they were reserved. We find another high top Infront of darts. We are sitting there for another five to ten minutes meanwhile another server ignores us and we still don't have menus or are offered drinks. Finally another server asks us to move if we aren't playing darts. We told her the other tables weren't available and she said we'll have to move back to the front high top and doesn't offer drinks or anything. She was quite rude about this too. We ended up leaving because we figured if that was going to be the experience we had within the first 15 minutes of being there then it isn't worth it. Shame on you guys being so rude and avoidant to customers. It's really inexcusable.

I'm thankful that they're still open for a late night to go. I ordered their original burger and onion rings.
