Graveyard Tavern

Friday nights are great here. There is definitely an interesting mix of folks here, and thats what makes it so great. With the cinemax style porn on the big screen you definitely will not be bored.

The bar was packed with a really nice mixed crowd. Everyone was hype and having a good time. My friends and I were also having a good time just drinking the night away. I typically like going to the same bartender but this night I shouldn't have. I ran out of cash and went to the bar to get a drink for a friend and only had exact change. So the bartender who I have been tipping all night(good tips at that) tells me that I cannot get a drink unless I tip her. She also told me that I have to tip her. I try to explain to her that I'm out of cash and that I have been tipping her the whole night. She doesn't care to listen, and all she tells me is that I have to tip her. So I tell her don't worry about it just give me my money back and I will go elsewhere. She refuses to give me my money back and pushes the drink towards me almost spilling it and says "GO", as if I were a dog or a child. This was by far the worst service I have ever had at a bar. The rest of the night I just paid with my card and tipped the more polite bartenders. If you ever decide to go here watch out for the semi-fat white chick with short hair that wears the bandana and raggedy clothes. She will completely blow or ruin your night. All in all I had a good time. If your ever in East Atlanta you should stop by but beware of Raggedy Anne.

I must say I was VERY surprised by this place. My friends had been trying to get me to go for a couple of months now and I always thought, okay dance floor + bar = not my cup of tea.

We went early, around 8:30pm on a Friday to dinner, and they didn't seem that busy, but our server just seemed like she didn't want to be there refills were slow and their sweet tea tasted like it was last made the morning before.. it was Putrid and then I was still charged for it when I asked for it to be taken back.

The Tuna tar tar was amazing and so was the lobster bisque. My friends had the blacked chicken wings and they loved them

Their long islands were mostly pre-mix and ice and for the price not worth it/ mind erasers also tiny conpaired to other places and the same price so overall I will say the food and atmosphere won me over, but the service and drinks need some work...

OK, this is where you want to be in East Atlanta -- if you have a group of people and want to slide into a big booth (and get there early, people!) this is the place - drinks are cheap and strong, service staff is super cute and friendly, and the food is amazing -- I had no idea they had a real chef and awesome food! I had the Gravedigger (a HUGE hamburger) and it was killer! It gets a little too crowded on Friday and Saturday after 11pm, so go on a week night or early on Friday or Saturday. But go! And make friends with the staff, they will take good care of you!

I live near this restaurant and I do enjoy their food. My biggest complaint is the stale cigarette smell which is always there.
