Luckily, Atlanta boasts a diverse range of sports bars perfect for watching any big game. From cherished dives with longstanding charm to upscale establishments offering a more elite experience, the city’s sports bar culture ensures there’s a perfect spot for every fan. So gather your crew – or make some new friends – at any one of these spots next game day.

Are you an Atlanta Falcons and/or Georgia Bulldogs fan? If so, there’s a perfect bar for you. Nestled at the edge of Atlanta’s famous Piedmont Park, Park Tavern hosts events and watch parties for the Falcons, Dawgs, Braves, and more.

This place is a haven for soccer fanatics, no doubt. They’ve got 27 screens, so you won’t miss a beat of the action. And they’re not just about soccer – keep tabs on their online schedule for a mix of college football, NFL, MLB, and NHL, too. Between the cold beers on tap and a menu with bites for everyone, it’s no surprise they snagged the “Best Sports Bar” title in Atlanta Magazine’s Readers’ Choice 2022.
Meehan’s Public House
2810 Paces Ferry Rd NW, Vinings, GA 30339
200 Peachtree St, Atlanta, GA 30303
With one downtown Atlanta location (set within the old Macy’s landmark building known for its unique architecture) and another in the heart of Vinings, Meehan’s Public House is a classic sports bar with an elevated twist. Picture polished wood, moody lighting, and authentic Irish charm. They’ve got plenty of screens for game-watching, plus traditional American bar food like house-made potato chips, pretzels, fried pickles, and buffalo wings.
Fado Irish Pub
273 Buckhead Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30305
933 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309
For over 20 years, Fado has been offering soccer fans (and sports fans in general) an authentic taste of Ireland’s pub culture with gleaming wood bars, tons of big screens, dozens of international and local beers, and a boisterous crowd on game days. Their made-from-scratch menu features delicious Irish standards like corned beef rolls, fried goat cheese, Guinness mac and cheese, and classic shepherd’s pie. Fun fact: Their Buckhead location was featured in the film Captain America: Civil War.
Der Biergarten
300 Marietta St NW, Atlanta, GA 30313
Der Biergarten draws inspiration from traditional German beer gardens, serving up a delightful selection of German beers and cuisine. Feast your eyes and taste buds on menu highlights such as Reibekuchen mit Apfelmus (potato pancakes with applesauce), kassler rippchen (pork chops and sauerkraut), reuben rolls, and hearty wurst plates. Whether you’re cheering on your team in the nostalgic indoor atmosphere or catching the game al fresco on the patio, prepare to be transported from downtown Atlanta to an authentic Biergarten experience.
Black Bear Tavern
1931 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309
Calling all Chicago transplants: Black Bear Tavern is your ultimate team headquarters. This cozy bar is the go-to spot for fans of the Chicago Cubs, Bears, Blackhawks, and Bulls, equipped with plenty of TVs for optimal game-watching from every angle. Forget the standard bar fare; Black Bear Tavern takes it up a notch with mouthwatering signature dishes. Regulars can’t resist returning for their stellar burgers, the aptly named “Big Ass Fish Sandwich” (yes, that’s what it’s called on the menu), and an extra foot-long chili dog that’s a fan favorite. Swing by for the game, indulge in some irresistible bites, and wash it all down with an ice-cold brew. Maybe just leave the Atlanta sports gear at home.
