Description:
PONCEY-HIGHLAND. Somewhere in between Va-Hi and Little Five Points, cozy Manuel's stands as the stately grandfather of Atlanta's nightlife scene. The bar the "New York Times" once referred to as "Atlanta's quintessential neighborhood bar" dates back to the mid-50s, when Manuel Maloof opened the place to serve sandwiches and suds to the neighborhood crowd. Today, the joint serves as a city archives of sorts, with its Coca-Cola mural, classic Braves pennants, and old beer cans. Sunday nights feature Manuel's popular trivia contests, which tend to get fairly competitive, and the Laughing Matters comedy troupe leaves patrons in stitches the first Saturday of each month.

Description:
MIDTOWN. This temple to all things sports provides folks who live and hang out in the urban oasis known as Atlantic Station a cool, sophisticated place to watch sports on the tube. Indeed, the Fox Sports Grill teeters the fine line between sports bar and trendy gathering spot thanks to its open design, exposed brick walls, central bar, and comfortable leather seats. And though the kitchen prepares an outstanding regiment of pizzas, burgers, ribs and pastas, the true reason sport fans queue up outside is quite simple: No matter where you sit, you have clear view of at least one plasma screen TV.

DanTanna's |

Description:
BUCKHEAD. Stop in on a March afternoon, and you'll likely find this establishment across from Lenox Square packed with suits captivated by NCAA Tourney broadcasts. DanTanna's is a "sports restaurant" – a sophisticated gathering place that isn't dressed with neon signs and team pennants. Instead, dozens of flat-screen TVs hang from the clubby, dark-stained walls. The bar area includes attractive open-air patio, and the adjoining cigar bar gives Buckhead aficionados a place where they can puff freely. That said, if you're on business and looking for a classy place to catch the "big game," DanTanna's is a good call. Great surf and turf options, too.
