Ormsby's

"This spot on the Westside was made for big groups, whether it’s a Happy Hour with coworkers or a bunch of people looking for late-night drinks after dinner at Miller Union. There’s a big bar upstairs with plenty of tables, and downstairs there’s another large bar where you can play things like bocce or darts. It gets packed here, so come early if you want to avoid the crowds of Georgia Tech students releasing their college stress with social drinking and games. " - juli horsford

"Offering an array of libations and activities, Ormsby's is the Westside's total tavern experience. Craft beers, classic cocktails, fresh pub eats, darts, billiards, shuffleboard, even indoor bocce keep this two-story bar bustling every day of the week. "A good place to be," indeed." - Resource Branding

"Ormsby’s has been such a Westside favorite in Atlanta that locals know how to spell its name without looking it up. This bi-level tavern complete with a patio, dining area, and multiple game rooms for adults is uniquely spacious yet still feels as intimate as a speakeasy. But it does get packed, especially during the weekend with first daters, Georgia Tech students, young professionals, and craft beer lovers who come for a long menu of solid lagers and ales from around the world. Open late and serving top-notch, upscale pub grub, Ormsby is a great place to take out-of-towners to grab a beer and a thick two-patty burger.  " - dennis malcolm byron

"Two things have helped this two-story bar remain a hot spot in West Midtown for more than a decade. The first is Ormsby’s extensive beer menu, offering 50+ brews from dark lagers (get the Breakfast Stout beer) all the way down to fruity concoctions (try Apple Harvest). The second is the downstairs gaming area, which is usually packed with Tech students engaged in heated rounds of darts, pool, shuffleboard, or bocce. Ormbsy’s has a run-of-the-mill tavern aesthetic with typical pub food, so we’re solely here for the beer and games. But if we do eat, we’ll opt for their decent Westside smash burger.

"One of the original new school game bars in Atlanta, Ormsby’s is located on the ground floor of Westside Provisions District, across from Brash Coffee. It offers everything from bocce ball and darts to shuffleboard and pool. This speakeasy-gaming parlor includes beer, wine, and cocktails at the bar and burgers, sandwiches, shared snacks, and even prime rib on its menu." - Beth McKibben
