The Earl Dog may be the best drunk food in town. A big, fluffy bun, a 100-percent Angus dog with all the snap and salt you crave. Get it with the works. Read more

The food here runs from basic to surprisingly interesting to a bit cute. That means Pabst Blue Ribbon-battered gator fingers and boiled peanuts served alongside a rib eye steak and a salmon B.L.T. Read more

It’s shocking how much soggy, crumbly veggie burgers pale in comparison to the meatless black bean burger. A bite through the crust somehow yields a robust, earthy, almost-meaty experience. Read more

One of the best local bars. I would even say one of the best bars in town for drinks, food, and socializing! I especially liked the burger with the beer!

Try Cayrum, its a dark rum aged 3 years and then infused with all natural ginger and honey. Its great as a chilled shot, on the rocks, ginger ale/beer, juices or Red Bull. Theres nothing like it!

Had a great time there chillin after all the 4th of July hooplah. The bartender was very welcoming and the drinks were amazing. I only ordered vodka soda but the ratio was just right.

sure it's a great spot for music and to laugh at hipsters. but, their kitchen may be one of the best in ATL. the burger is perfect.

It's a great place to grab a burger and a beer, as long as you don't mind smoke and noise. Read more

"This bar is full of charm. Great veggie options in the front bar and the fresh fish was too good. We'd go back just for the food alone." -New Cassettes
Kat CooperJanuary 20, 2014
Don't tell anyone how awesome this place is. It's one of those spots that's still not douchey and has awesome food. Keep it that way!

Awesome venue for music. The BBQ pork sandwich and thin cut fries are great together. Great bar for the adult crowd if you don't mind the heavy smoking - not kid friendly.

several tofu options and the roasted red pepper dressing is an excellent vegan choice
Creative Loafing AtlantaJanuary 20, 2012
East Atlanta staple for local & up-and-coming rock bands, as well as nationally established indie acts, and grub for the hipster-PBR set. Sundays feature hangover-friendly live music set from 1-4 p.m Read more

While at The Earl enjoy a chilled shot of Cayrum or add some Red Bull and do a CayBOMB!! Cayrum is not only a local company, but has a taste like no other. Read more

You are allowed to smoke here and it can be difficult to enjoy yourself if you are sensitive to it.
Jasmine FlowersOctober 6, 2013
Nice atmosphere, great performances and a dope crowd. I have to go back for the food, I hear its pretty good.

The food is good and you can catch a great band at the same time

Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Find a seat at one of the deep booths or scattered tables and cherry pick gems from the stellar jukebox. Order shoestring fries. Read more

Get a basket of Nugglets (mini corndogs) and lots of cheap beer. Once said cheap beer has been consumed, go into the back and dance like a moron to whatever band is playing!
Melissa TarverApril 25, 2015
The Earl dog pretty good with Island salad

Nutslinger shots make you act like an asshole. Burgers are amazing, and don't be afraid to order the shrimp plate, it's good!

For carnivores, The Earl Burger can't be beat - get it with a side of fried okra. If you're of the vegetarian persuasion, the black bean burger is divine.

Best shows in town for the price.

Get a burger. It's one of the best in the country.

Don't complain about having to stand at a show. If you want to sit, go to the Fox.
