Brews and Blues Bar

Destiny is a star. What a great server! She single-​handedly took care of a packed (I mean standing room only) bar and was so pleasant. She made the whole experience great. There are only 2 bars on that side of the C terminal area (other being Longhorn steakhouse) and I’d come back here in a heart beat.

The waitress warned me that the ham and cheddar sandwich was a cold sandwich! I said that’s ok. Then she informed they were out of ham! So, I ordered the turkey and cheddar which was also a cold sandwich. She brought me my bud light in a nice size glass. Then she placed a basket nicely lined with red checkered paper containing a small cellophane wrapped sandwich? Seriously? I could have bought this at one of the stands in the hallways! I ate it anyway and it tasted just like a cellophane wrapped sandwich. Order the hot entrees. I will, if ever go by there again. Enjoyed the hell out of the beer!

For an airport bar and restaurant this place is one of the better ones! There sandwiches were less than $ 6 — I know that is ridiculously cheap for an airport and they have beers on tap… what more can you want?
If you’re stuck because of a delayed flight or just have a layover… stop by and pick up a sandwich or wings and a beer.

More blues than brews!
The $ 7.50 turkey and cheese sandwich was literally three slices of cheap deli meat, one slice of cheese stuck between two stale slices of bread. It comes with no condiments. The bartender also tossed my credit card and the bill to me like he didn’t care.

They get a one… Place smells so bad like rotten beer we couldn’t stand it. Sat at the bar for five minutes, only one guy besides us and nothing was even said to us. The only words spoken were something about the basketball game on TV… No wonder it was empty.

No thanks.
I wasn’t expecting the Ritz, this being a burger-​beer joint in a terminal of Atlanta-​Hartsfield Int’l Airport and all, but this place was all around kind of a joke.
I had a three hour wait before my flight leaving Atlanta, and Brews and Blues was literally right next to my departing gate. I had seen this place while going through Atlanta before, but this was my first time stopping in. Service was painfully slow. probably because on a couple of occasions I noticed the one bartender left the bar area to go sit and chat with his friends/​co-​workers. for a good 10 minutes at a time. He was nice enough, but that is totally unacceptable.
Their food menu consists of overpriced brisket, chicken, and burgers. I had one gin and tonic and decided that was enough considering the painfully slow service. I’m glad I stopped there. because they charged me a whopping $ 12.21 for one very watered down gin and tonic. That is reprehensible.
There’s a steakhouse just a few gates down, that is even closer to security actually. I would recommend trying that out. This is overpriced nonsense in need of serious retooling. And by the way, not really sure where the «Blues» part of the name comes into play.

Was in Atlanta for a layover with my husband. We sat down at a table and waited 10 minutes for a waitress to greet us. It seemed like the only people who were getting service were the ones at the bar. I approached the bar to order our drinks. We got doubles because usually they pour weak drinks at airport bars. The drinks were very strong. The bartender was nice however the rest of the staff was not. One waitress asked a patron «what can I get you?» Before handing her the menu that was in her hand. And threw the menu down in front of her.

Didn’t expect much. Service was friendly. had I known it was there, I would have eaten, but not seeing it from the other end of the cconcourse, I ate somewhere else. The bartender and wait staff were attentive and nice.

What a bunch of clowns. People standing outside waiting while customers wait inside and watch the bartenders goofing off and moving at a snails’s pace. I would give this zero stars if I could, there is a HUGE management oversight problem here. Avoid at all costs.

I came here to drink a beer and pass time before catching my flight home. They had an issue with the kitchen so the menu was extremely limited. They only had 3 or 4 sandwiches available. The service was decent, but nothing spectacular. I would suggest sitting at the bar for better service.
I ordered the Blues beef brisket sandwich. It was mediocre and overpriced which is the norm for airport food. Their beer menu was also very limited. I had a Stella. It was served in a generic beer glass. I’m used to having it served in a Stella glass. If I had to do it over again, I would just drink beer here and skip the sandwiches unless they had their full food menu.

To answer your badge, NO you did not WOW me with your service. Did not expect much and was not disappointed.

Basic. Food. Drink. Airport.

bartender Robert is nice even when he got a rush of orders, he kept is cool and smile. ordered a sam adams and beef brisket sandwich. total $ 20.45. the brisket is precut and they pour the sauce after the sandwich is capped. convenient since it is right outside gate c5.

Its the airport… I don’t expect much. But the bartender is nice and the drinks are good, high priced but good. Turkey goblet is a little salty but the bread is helpful to absorb the alcohol.

Not bad wings for an airport!

Not sure why the reviews are so bad. It is true they have a tiny menu. But it is basically an airport bar. And as airport bars go, when you can get a BBQ beef brisket sandwich and a beer, not too much can go wrong. The sandwich was actually surprisingly good for being from an airport bar. I just had a beer, and it is pretty hard to screw that up, so no comment on the drinks.

Arrived Atlanta airport very early for our flight to Chicago. There are not many choices in the north terminal so we chose Brews and Blues. They offer bbq sandwiches in either pork, chicken, brisket, or smoked turkey. Since we had just had smoked turkey for Thanksgiving, my husband and I opted for the brisket. It was good. Not as good as the brisket I make at home, but for airport food it was decent.

Staff needs some work took a long time to get my check and out to catch my flight.

Food was ok very limited choices, limited beer choices but who cares when your waiting for a plane.

I had plenty of warning.
First, they only had Bud and Bud Lite on tap. Never a good sign, and it doesn’t help if Dos Equis is the best thing you have in bottles.
Second, I watched the bartender mix drinks. She was carefully measuring shots into the drinks. Not good! It means stingy drinks.
Third, when someone asked for a Guiness, she recommended a Budweiser American Ale as being «close».
All these warning sides aside, I drank there anyway. It was near my gate. Then she crossed a line.
The menu called it a «Kentucky Cola». It was described as «Makers Mark with a splash of cola».
Last time I checked, «a splash» is not half the fucking glass.
I was never going to catch a buzz at this damn bar. I ended up riding the tram to a different terminal just to get a decent drink.
