Central City Tavern

I’ve been trying to visit this place for about a month now.
I’m pretty sure it has closed its doors. But nothing has been posted to its social media-​hence the 1 star.

I have always enjoyed myself here. Britta is the friendliest staff member I have came across. She is always pleasant and accommodating.
Played trivia for the first time here last night, it was entertaining. My server, Michael could have been a little more attentive and smelled a little less like he was drinking on the job.
CCT is definitely my favorite neighborhood bar!

Food is ok. Service was slow, even though it wasn’t crowded. Server was not knowledgeable of the menu and was unenthusiastic. Definitely won’t be coming back. My first time here, visited based on Unilocal reviews.

I’ve had many great experiences at Central City. From afternoon college football games to reserving a huge table to watch the World Cup this past summer. They’ve been everything I need in a sports bar– free parking, sweet potato fries, and tons of TVs (obviously). My main recommendation would be to have more local beers on draft.

New bartender Britta Smith (she claimed it was Brenda until I researched it) is a joke and doesn’t pay attention to her customers, their orders, and lacks class. Since the management changes recently to this establishment the business will fail. I was asked to leave after I voiced my concern about service. This place was my favorite now, I will make sure others know that the bar has been lowered. I’m sad the direction this place has gone.
No manager on location that night. I hope changes are made immediately because in all my years of patronizing taverns and restaurants this is the worst treatment I can recall to date. Not including being accosted by a kitchen staff member who would not give his name who threatened me without cause while I was asked to leave.
I prior to this event frequented this location almost once a week. New bartender Britta and new kitchen staff member (not named wears glasses) do not understand the service industry and I will not return unless they are removed.

Came here for a Browns game this is the official Browns backers bar of Atlanta. This place is awesome great atmosphere, great service by the bartender, and great people. The beer is a little pricey but I had a good time watching the Browns win! The turkey on croissant with Swiss sandwich was really good and huge! They give you a ton of meat. The fries were good too. I will come back here if I’m ever in Alanna and the Browns are on. Fun memories.

Pros:
— Hot dogs were decent. Chili was good but need some seasoning.
Cons:
— Beer selection is pathetic. I ask for a list and out waitress points at the special sheet (which was not a beer list). I asked for the September special of Jekyll Brewing Hop Diggity. Waitress comes back 5 minutes later and says they’re out. OK. I order a 420. I finish the 420 and ask for another only to find out they are out. Coors Light it is then!
— Our server was very nice but pretty incompetent. Had no idea of the beers on tap when asked and instead dropped her ticket book on the table. We were one of around 3 tables she had and drinks took forever. The bar was fairly empty for a football Saturday and multiple requests to change games that were over would take 15−20min and the process would them look like a comedy of errors as no one knew channels for game and remotes wouldn’t work on TVs. Remember, this is supposed to be a sports bar.
— Food is pretty mailed in. Everything seemed straight out of a Sysco freezer bag and into the fryer. As I said, hotdog was decent rest is pedestrian at best.
Other observations:
— If I was a restaurant owner I would be embarrassed to serve the ketchup and mustard brands they have on the table (West Creek WTF???). It just shows you don’t care.
— there’s a reason people go to Taco Mac and other sports bars that care.
— On a Saturday night during CFB season to have the same game on 75% of the TVs is idiotic and again shows the owners just don’t care.
in closing CCT should be embarrassed but obviously that’s not the case. The old location on Peachtree was great and always a good place to catch a game and some bar grub. This version is just sad. Do yourself a favor and go to Taco Mac or Whitehall Tavern.

I’ve been coming to this place to watch Braves and Falcons games for a while. Food is solid and so is the beer selection. They have TVs 360 around the restaurant so you can always watch what you want. Love the daily specials

Just okay. Came in for wings and even with 3 different favors, none of us were impressed. The best thing we had was the blue cheese dressing was favorful.

I had a friend move into this area & we decided to get a beer & ended up at this place. Really dead for a weekend night and this place doesn’t have the cheers type atmosphere and the menu is kind of a hodge podge of this and that. There are plenty of TV’s so it would be decent as a sports bar may give it a try again if i’m in the area.

It’s the closest bar to my house so it’s my best option for those much needed bar stops. The drinks are strong, the prices are normal and the staff is nice. The food is bar food so I wouldn’t suggest you order salmon. All in all, I enjoy it.

The smokey smell welcomes you as you step through the door. We were the only customers in the place, besides a gentleman sitting at the bar, and this should have been the first sign as we were there during dinner hours on a Saturday. But we decided to give them a chance still. As we had issues with our order the manager came over to explain that there was nothing they «Would» do to accommodate for the error and handed us the tab. We took our food to go as the stench got to be unbearable. Fries, ok, driest chicken sandwich I’ve ever tasted. Almost inedible, but our dog worked his way through it. Not going back. By the way the Food Truck Market is less than a mile down the road, I recommend Nana G’s Chicken and Waffles or Ibiza Bites.

Wanted a place in west midtown for wings and fries after work during March Madness. No complaints on the food or service.
This place would have been 4 stars and a repeat visit if it were non smoking and had working WiFi. Since it’s smoking, I can’t come back. Clothes reek and my eyes are bloodshot.
It’s 2014, don’t let smoking inside. I can’t imagine this place makes it another year. Opening weekend of March Madness and the dining room is empty on a Friday. Screwed themselves.

Soooo me and Yolanda P. was in the mood for a good place to sit down for burgers and wings on a weekday after work, I had booked marked this place based on her review (granted its about 3 years old).
I am still pissed off about how horrible it all was: (The wings were a decent size but flavorless and the burger was burnt to a crisp and just plain nasty. I did get an order of Cajun fries that I finished off just to be some what satisfied with the experience.
Needless to say this place is scratched off my list.

I’ve been all over Atlanta for all my years, and this little place was unbeknownst to me until I visited last week. Hidden behind La Parilla on Howell Mill, this little gem is a well-​rounded eatery. We had the chips and salsa with queso, and I ordered a peach BBQ burger. The burger was almost impossible to finish. People think I have a hollow leg because I eat so much, and I almost didn’t finish. The sweet potato fries are good as well, and are seasoned differently than they are elsewhere.
If you’re tired of eating at all the other regular places in the complex, give this place a try. I was surprised that a hidden place like this was as good as it was.

I ate here last night with my family for the first time. Yummmm! Super good American, bar type food. Ummmm… they have FRIED PICKLES. Doesn’t get much better than that! All of the food we had was great, drinks were decently strong and not over priced. Super delish tatot tots and huge burgers. Our server was very nice and efficient as well. They have tons of TV’s and apparently on Wednesday nights they have karoeke. Great place and I will definitely be back!!!

I really enjoy their andouille burger, and it makes up for anything else lacking. It’s a sports bar though, and you should expect a taco-​mac crowd with lackluster service and the occasional completely distracted waiter.

This is a decent little place. Stopped in on Sunday afternoon to grab some brunch/​lunch before running errands for the day. We arrived a little before noon and the place was almost empty — which was a pleasant surprise. The waitress was super friendly and made us feel very welcome.
The sign outside said they served brunch, but that was a definite disappointment. They had breakfast burritos and other such items, but definitely not what I was looking for in a Saturday early afternoon meal.
Sooo, I decided to order off the regular menu instead. Based on a Unilocal recommendation, I tried the spinach and artichoke dip. It was delivered to our table quickly and piping hot. The flavor was quite good, but the thick layer of cheese on top wasn’t my favorite. For my entrée, I had the fish and chips (I’m a sucker for fish and chips). Though it wasn’t exactly what I’m used to, it was quite good. The breading on the fish was much lighter than I expected, but it was seasoned really well. Though it was a little greasy, the flavor easily made up for it. The fries were very good and appropriately seasoned (nothing sucks more than a bland fry).
There are TVs all over the place, so it seems as if it’d be a good place to stop if you’re looking to watch the game while you eat. All in all, I’d probably eat here again.

The «new» CCT is a really nice spot. The old one, for those of you who don’t remember (at the corner of Collier and Peachtree) was a dive — in the good way!- but this version is snazzy and sleek.
The food is good. From solid bar food (get the chicken fingers!) to daily specials from soup to fish, they fancied up their menu along with the new digs.
I have a dear friend who loves this place, so I’ll meet him there occasionally– and I have to say, my 3 not 4 rating is because I seem to only get *really* good service when I’m with him as some bartenders/​servers can be a bit inattentive, but he knows them all…
They also do good specials, trivia and the like. If you’re looking for a place that will «please» everybody food-​wise (salads to burgers, etc) and you’re in this area, especially if looking for something right off 75, this is a good pick.
Note:(1) the shopping center can be busy, so be careful parking! (2) smoking is allowed so be warned!

They’re not closing! sweet baby jesus! Love this bar… not too busy and the food is great. My personal favorite is the pizza burger although I’ve yet to have a bad burger. Andouille burger and the Bleu burger is great as well. Football season is coming to a close now but this was my Sunday spot. Sooooo glad they’re staying open!

A few things to know about this place:
1. They say they’re non-​smoking before 10pm (as it states on their menu) but people were smoking all over the place when I got there at 7:30pm.
2. They don’t have prices on their beer list. How can you tell what’s a good deal, and what’s going to cost you too much? We got a pitcher of Abita Purple Haze which was overpriced at $ 16. If only they had the prices listed we would have known…
3. Don’t expect your server to smile at any time. All the servers I saw were moping around like their dog was just run over. Their servers appear to be 20 year old college girls who look like they just got out of bed.
4. Nothing on their menu will be surprising to you. Of the few items we purchased nothing was memorable.
5. This place, for only being at it’s location a fairly short time, is really smoky. It’s much more for regulars who smoke than for families, etc.
I hoped for so much more, as this is a Red Sox bar, but they’re not on the same level as most other sports bars in Atlanta. You’re better off at any Taco Mac or Hudson Grille for better food, less smoke (or none), and a larger selection of better priced beers.
