Northside Tavern

Located on Howell Mill Road just steps from Atlanta’s burgeoning design and residential districts, Northside Tavern might appear to be a dilapidated eyesore in the midst of renovated industrial splendor. And honestly, it is, which makes it a true Atlanta experience. The famed blues destination draws a crowd for live music seven nights a week and is a must-visit. There’s no food, but plenty of cheap drinks, pool tables and great music—all we could ever ask for in a classic Atlanta bar.
