Famous Pub & Sports Palace
(Nightlife - Sports Bar)
2947 N Druid Hills Rd NE, Atlanta  30329 • 404-633-3555
Distance: ~4.01 mi from Doubletree Hotel Atlanta/Buckhead
 
Description: NORTH DRUID HILLS ROAD. The aptly named Famous Pub & Sports Palace enjoys popularity with Atlanta's northsiders and students from nearby Emory, who love coming here to catch their favorite teams on the tube, down a few brews, and munch on fried grub. Tinted glass windows shield the games from the sun, and friendly waiters and waitresses patrol the seated areas in search of anyone with a half-empty glass.

Ah, this place must be where the Gods watch football. Myself and about 15 friends have been going to Famous for about 6 years to watch the Sunday NFL games. They reserve our tables in the back room. They bring us pitchers until we say "stop." It's not a sports bar, it's a sports PALACE! I honestly look forward every year to going to Famous with all my friends and sitting in the front of the back room to watch EVERY game that is available. God bless Famous.

High turnover rate makes it difficult to see familiar faces behind the bar, watching games is tough when the owners are airing their dirty laundry in the bar.
