Finish Line Sports Bar

Sanitary conditions of this establishment are so bad that you have to cover your beer/​food with a napkin so all the fruit flies don’t land in it.
Meanwhile, they use electric fly swatter until something is done. I would expect this at some local corner bar. Not at the Hilton.

Daytime Bartender is very inattentive. Waited 5 minutes to be greeted for first drink and 5 minutes to get a second drink after I was finished with the first. Total of 4 people at the bar.
Joke!!!,

I haven’t read the other reviews to see exactly why the star rating is so low, but I can tell you there is no way a 2 star average is fair. I am enjoying a craft brew and some buffalo style «pig wings» right now which I highly recommend if you like chicken wings. The servers are super nice and there is a great atmosphere here if you are looking for a sports bar.

Nice energetic music. Variety of local and regional sports. Revamped local draft selections which they sell in half liters of your thirsty. Pool tables and darts (which are complimentary). Food is solid well executed pub food. Staff is eager and accommodating. Probably a nice local place to watch March Madness. Enjoyed it immensely!

Friendly server, great burger.
I was staying in the hotel due to travel delays and wanted to grab a quick bite to eat before heading up to my room.
The server was super nice, welcoming, and efficient.
I ordered the Dirty Southern Burger (tasty burger, maybe a tad over done, crispy bacon, fresh tomato and lettuce, and really tasty pimento cheese).
I’d eat that again if I was in the area.

I figured I would give the Finish Line another try after a not so good experience the first time.
This time was much the same experience. The bar is run by middle aged plus women who have no giddy up left in their horse. Service is slow and you should feel blessed if they even recognize you sitting there.
I wish I could comment on the food but after 10 – 15 minutes of sipping on my beer they couldn’t bother to ask.
I don’t wish this type of service on my enemies. This place needs to shut down and new owners take over because it is in a great location to do amazing things.

It’s one of those spots where you can sit down, have a beer while waiting for people. It’s nothing special yet it’s within the confines of the hotel. There are seats, there are tables and there’s a bar with stools around it. YES!
There’s also staff that tends to the bar, the kitchen and the dining area. We walked in and we’re immediately greeted and told to sit wherever we liked. So we make a bee line for the bar. The significant other and I ordered 2 pints of beer, whatever we fancied. The beer were served in a proper glass that’s made out of glass, it was cold and it was procured from a tap with a wooden handle. WEEEEEEE!
Whoever we were waiting on was taking a little bit to arrive and we were getting sorta hungry. We asked the bar tender for an order of wings. He promptly sent the order to the kitchen and less than 20 minutes later, we get buffalo style chicken wings to share. It was hot, fresh from the fryer, nicely sauced up, it even came with blue cheese and ranch dressing. SUPER NICE!
We had a great time shooting the breeze. The staff was very attentive and the place was impeccably neat and clean. The bartender was very nice and checked up on us from time to time which is top notch stuff.
I don’t usually prefer to go to the hotel bars just because I don’t like to eat and drink where I sleep. I had a good time here though so I dub thee 4 stars. You guys keep kicking ass. I would come back and drink here again if the opportunity arises.
Weeeeeeeeeee

I decided to go here versus Andiamo for my one night stay in Atlanta. I’ve been to other Andiamo’s and while the food is good to great it is a more formal sit down restaurant and I just wanted a quick dinner and pub food seemed to fit the bill. So the bar was set pretty low for Finish Line. All they had to deliver was pub food, with a smile so I could go back to my room and do some work.
They did did deliver pub food. I ordered the ribs and sweet potato fries. The waitress didn’t know the difference between baby back ribs and St. Louis Style spare ribs. I know because I asked here which they were (I despise baby back ribs) so you can guess what she said and what was served. But after waiting 30 minuted for my plate to hit the table I thought I would suck it up and make due with the baby backs. If you are looking for dry, tough and small ribs, this is the dish for you.
While the server was nice enough, her lack of knowledge of the menu was irritating. Just before I finished my meal I put in an order for wings to go. (I was making a poor breakfast choice since I knew there would be no options at the airport at 5:00 AM). I asked that the wings be naked with the sauce kept on the side. I wound up waiting another 35 minutes for these to come out of the kitchen. At one point, 25 minutes into the wait, the waitress brought me over my to-​go bag and a check. Relieved I started to fill out the check so I could go, only to have her come back two minutes later and open the container to show me that my order was not inside. She gave me the wrong order. Two more minutes I would have been gone with it.
So now I waited for another 10 minutes for the right order to come out. Next time I’m in Atlanta, I’ll run away from this Finish Line!!! Eek!

Bad food, high prices.
I had low expectations going in, but I should have set them lower.
I recognized one of the wines on the short wine list. It’s a $ 9 a bottle wine. They’re charging $ 9 a glass for it.
The beer list is decent, with a couple local craft brews, and at $ 6.50 a pint, it’s your best bet if you’re wanting to imbibe. They do have a full bar, but the liquor prices, like the wines, are high.
The food is overpriced, and it’s fast food quality. My side salad was ok, but my chicken sandwich was so bad, I’d wished I’d stopped at McDonalds instead. Worse, they’re charging a whopping $ 13 for it. The small side salad was another $ 5.
I’m not sure what other dining options there are outside the hotel, especially within walking distance, but I suggest you go to the trouble of finding someplace else to eat. Even if you’re on foot, and have to walk for a few minutes, it’s likely better than the convenience of eating at Finish Line.

Absolutely horrible. Food was junk. Luckily I wasn’t paying. Service was a joke. I opened a tab, which was then closed like 20 minutes later because the guys shift was over and he «couldn’t find me“There were like 5 employees standing around while 2 were doing the work. I ordered a nitro porter (nitro is great because as the tiny bubbles come up it gives it a great head for the first few minutes) it was poured from a pitcher and was completely flat. Their prices are outrageous for what you get as well and the staff is just completely indifferent to their failings. Glad I’ll never have to come back.

Moderate selection of beers with a few local crafts. Ambiance is dark and decorated with old race car memorabilia. Beer was cold, chicken quesadilla was about what I expected at a hotel sports bar, not bad, not great. Other foods on the menu were typical bar items, burgers and fried food. Staff was very nice and attentive. More of a 2.5 mediocre than a straight 2 but what do you want from a hotel restaurant/​bar.

Terrible waitstaff, took over 30 mins to have server come to our table and get our drink order. She never returned to bring our check for just drinks!!!

One of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. Not only was the service slow and the seating disorganized, the food was awful and pricy.
During the college football playoff games, they had half of their TVs dedicated to the Food Network…
Do NOT get the appetizer dips.
Although, I will say, compared to the other options in the area, this restaurant is about on-​par.

The bar is located in the Hilton hotel at the airport. Having stayed at the hotel several times, I have stopped in a few times for a beer and every time it’s quite the disappointment. Having dropped in tonight, the service was slow and unfriendly. My first beer was served overflowing with foam and my multiple cocktail napkins were soaked and beer was running everywhere. Then I watched a server who was on the phone by the bar sneeze, not covering his mouth, and sneezed all over the drink glasses. When I asked for my tab, it was as if I was an inconvenience. Typical night at this bar. And I wouldn’t even venture to eat here!

Here for an overnight layover… Seems like they are out of a lot of drinks on the menu and beer.
The bartender is really nice, but can’t pour a proper Guinness (poured it all at once, instead of half and half!)
Not great ambiance, dark and dingy. But what can you expect from a hotel sports bar?

This is an updated review. I have come here 3 weeks in a row. This week they redeemed some lost stars from last time (see my previous experience).
This week they had full taps on their beer selection with no excuses. I had the half rack ribs & sweet potato fries — excellent and a generous portion for $ 16. Another day, I had their fish and chips. It was generous, but not as good as the ribs for appx the same price. My friend had the nachos — which were $ 10 and piled high with lots of toppings. Overall, typical high prices for bar food — but it’s in a hotel (to be expected) as you pay for convenience.
However, most importantly, the food was good and very good sized. The beer was good also. So, hopefully they keep their taps full & keep up the good service. They are friendly.
