Bigelow’s

Yeah… a «5»…I did it… but this is the underground Atlanta spot for people like me (grown folks that like that strong pour in their drinks and a party like its 1999 atmosphere)…this place never fails to please… yeah…a solid 5

I’m a bit late for this review because I visited this pace some time two weeks ago. Its a whole in the wall spot that at your first glance you think to yourself should I get out the car? But to my surprise I enjoyed myself. Its a small place and it gets crowed but the people are super nice the DJ was on point with old and up to date music and the drinks where half price. Sorry I cant seem to remember what day of the week I went. I would definitely return to this place. If you looking to hang with a younger crowd this is not your place. This place is the real grown and sexy. The dress code is casual but you can rock as I did a pair nice jeans boots and a sexy blouse and you good. Hope this was helpful.

Yes, Bigelow’s Is a Whole in the Wall, But if you are looking for a fun place this is it. I was there on Monday for Karaōke the place had a nice crowd, The drink are Strong And the wing are very good. So If you’re looking for something to do on a Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday check out Bigelow’s.

The premier «Whole in the Wall» of ATL. I’m from Alabama so this place makes me feel RIGHT AT HOME! Let’s start with the free admission! (Unless you go late on Friday or Saturday then admission is $ 5). The wings are rediculous! A gentleman in the kitchen who I’ve dubbed «Chicken George» is a genius when it comes to the wings. The drinks are fairly priced and they won’t skimp on the alcohol. The DJ on a walker (yes I said a walker) is added entertainment. I love this place so much. If you are too snooty and enjoy table cloth dining and big named lables DO NOT ENTER. But if you’re looking for an old school, chill spot after work on a Friday to unwind PLEASE go here! LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!

This is definitely hole in the wall central. I like it. Sometimes I like to just hang out and have fun without dealing with all of the overly done up folks. I think that the drinks are reasonably priced compared to going to several other places. The music is good. The place is normally packed when I’ve gone on a Friday night. The parking can be a headache, but there’s plenty across the street at the car wash if you can’t find one. Leave the pretentiousness at home.

I don’t know why I had never been to Bigelow’s in the 24 yrs that I have been to Atlanta but I had the best time last Saturday night. It’s truly a «hole in the wall» but with class; the people make the atmosphere because of their friendliness… no one is rude, the men don’t mind buying drinks, and if you’re looking for new friends, you have your choice of several socio-​economic classes. The bartenders are cool as hell especially the fine-​ass lt-​skinned tatted-​up brother who made up a drink just for me (he still has to give it a name). I don’t know about the waitresses because I had no interest in food that night but this will probably become one of my regular Saturday night spots because you are guaranteed a good time!

Great food hands down don’t let the appearance fool you great

What I love about Bigelows is that you don’t have to look like Beyonce in order for a guy to buy you a drink, ask you to dance or just say hi. The men love all the women and the women return the love. I don’t drink so I can’t speak on that. But the music was a good mix of Rhythm and Blues, old/​new Hip Hop and Dance tunes.
The perfect spot when you don’t want he pretense of downtown, buckhead and other spots.

Bored on Tuesday night and need some real entertainment, great wings, strong drinks, and a jook joint type good time?
Easy solution. Go to Bigelows.
You get a little bit of everything in Bigelows… hood rats, lawyers, postal workers and Im sure a drug dealer or three is in the building… but its FUN.
A very small venue with a small dance floor and a busy bar, Bigelows is the stark opposite of most clubs/​bars in Atlanta simply because its stripped of being pretentious. The one thing you wont find in Bigelows is «stuck up».
The drinks are ridiculously strong at this joint…2 long islands will have you on your azz relatively quickly!
The wings are pretty damn good too. Service is a bit on the short end… and yes, you will find the «I dont give a damn» attitude that most of these type of establishments seem to think is fantastic… but its a small glitch in what is always a great night…

I like to hang out during the week, trust me, this is a treat during the week. But you KNOW the superfreaks come out on the weekend. Also, this gets my HOLE IN THE WALL AWARD. They consistently have a great staff and some of the besst fried foood you ave ever had (lol).
So if you wants some Whiskey and Chicken wings… join me at the HOLLLLLLLLLLLLE in the wall!

I have been coming to this place off an on for almost 10 years and it never changes. It’s still that same hole in the wall that I am used to, the food is great and the drinks are never watered down.
Karaōke is every Monday with some hard core steppers in between sets that show everyone how its REALLY done! Every 5^th Monday they have free buffet and dont charge a cover.
It loses a star for me because the parking can be a pain in the ass, the dance floor is not as big as it needs to be, and the waitresses can be a bit «un-​responsive». But I still have big fun when I come here, which is why I still do.

If you need a nice chillout spot without pretense-​this is it. Lot of old school cats, but that’s the positive element in the «wanna be» L.A., fake ass town Atlanta has become. Drinks are reasonable, music is just loud enough for you not have to yell at the party with you and it’s dark lol – good if you not trying to be seen.

Well, let me start of by saying that if you’re bourgeoise, overly pretentious, or trying to be seen in a ritzy environment, then this probably is not the place for you.
Bigelow’s reminds me of a late 1980’s to early 1990’s juke joint. This is not a bad thing, actually it’s VERY GOOD. Bigelow’s is a place where you can relax and be yourself, enjoy the lively tunes from a wide selection of DJ’s, the drinks are strong and the food is good.
The crowd is about what you’d expect in a Decatur spot. It varies from middle-​aged hood, to upbeat urban… They have a different party just about every night, but I’d recommend Tuesday nights, or Friday-​Sundays. Tuesdays is affectionately named «Ladies Night», as it gets PACKED with a wide selection of scantily clad, well-​to-​do ladies of all socioeconomical standards. If you’re looking for classy, trashy, hood, or uppity, you can find it ALL in Bigelow’s. Again, if you’re stuck up or can’t seem to take the edge off, then this probably isn’t the place for you. But, if you’re the type person who can vibe well in ANY setting, then I definitely say check it out, and see if you can enjoy it.
The drinks are Grade A (by this I mean not watered down, and priced well within reason), if you don’t mind fighting to get to the one bar they have that usually is crowded with regulars and bar trolls. I found that the easiest and fastest way to get a drink it so summon one of the waitresses who mill about the crowd. Their attitudes are usually dependent upon how you treat them. I’m a social person with an upbeat attitude, so I tend to get great service, which in turn leads to great tips for the waitresses, so everybody’s happy.
The food is what you’d come to expect for a club with a kitchen in the rear. It’s not fine dining, but more than serves it’s purpose, comes out hot, and goes down well…
If you’re looking for something to do on an off Tuesday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday, then check out Bigelow’s… Do me a favor, leave your preconceived notions at home, and just go and have fun!
