Gravity Pub

The beer was good. The bartenders were cool. It was a great place to sit down and grab a beer. Sad to see its gone. Overshadowed by its next door neighbors I suppose. It was never that busy.

I am bummed to see this place is closed down! This was the only restaurant in the city that offered Krispy Kreme hamburgers. Yes, thats right, KK donuts served as the bun and a delicious bacon, cheeseburger inside! I got weak in the knees between the salt/​sugar mix and was so sticky thanks to the donuts!
They also served a fried hotdog wrapped in a thin layer of beef, covered in chili and cheese. I could only eat one bite but wow, it was phenomenal as well.
The customer service was a bit blah and the waitresses looked like extra’s for the Walking Dead series but come on, Krispy Kreme burgers for the WIN!

As many times as I have been to EAV, I have never stopped into the Gravity Pub. Well, Turkey eve we were at The Graveyard and on our way to The Glenwood and made a side stop in here.
Really friendly staff. The kitchen sent out bacon carmel brownies for everyone to try and give feedback as they were thinking of putting on the menu.
Seemed everyone in there was smoking and the ventilation didn’t seem adequate or maybe it’s because it is a small space. I’ll just make sure I’m not wearing «dry clean only» the next time I come here.
Glad we stumbled, I mean stopped, in.

Once upon a time I would have given this place a 4 star rating, but after my experience this past Saturday night, I will never come here again. I’ve been to the Gravity Pub at least a dozen times in the past and it was one of the few places in EAV that you could always get a seat at the bar or a table and this is still the case for a reason. The customers have changed for the worse and the service and the food is mediocre at best. I honestly felt unsafe in this place and I have been to many, many, «dive» bars in Atlanta without a hitch.
If you are into trash without the charm, then this is the place for you.

With a new owner and new menu, the food here kicks ass now.
My husband and I have been trying to figure out WHY everything’s so tasty here now, and we finally got it: really high quality meat (get your jokes out now, so you can pay attention, people, because I’m saying something important here).
Now, I would normally complain that there are no french fries, but those «chips» are off the chain. They are like thin potato slices of greasy heavenly deliciousness.
You have GOT to go order the cheesesteak «one whiz, with.»
Go now… I’ll wait…
Ok, ok, you can go tomorrow, but Holy processed cheese and onions topping high quality shaved beef on a roll Jesus! I’ve already ordered it about 4 times since I tasted it in May, and I think I’d only been to the Gravity about 4 times before that.
The scene is tattooed dirty dive bar (which is fine by me), but I think service has gotten much faster and more pleasant, and there are even some of our old friends there (Hi Jessica!!).
If you’d written off Gravity before, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF YOUR TASTEBUDS!!! Give Gravity another chance.

The first time I went to this place it was great – awesome burger, cheap pitchers, etc. – but I recently had a horrific experience dining there late. My «kettle cooked» turkey sandwich turned out to be verbatim 3^rd grade lunch fare: Wonderbread and two slices of Carl Budding style processed turkey. For $ 7, I could have furnished this meal for a week. That and they messed up the cole slaw the only way you can: it was easily 1:1 cabbage and mayo ratio. So for future Gravity-​pub goers: get the wings and burgers (if they haven’t run out of ground beef).

I like Dive bars as much as the next person but this one takes the cake. With a mixture of all types under it’s roof it never fails to entertain. Not the place to take a date but hanging out with friends it’s not bad.

This is the worst place in atlanta. We sat here for 20 minutes without anyone acknowledging us at all. Then FINALLY when they did. Our server was a total douche bag. I heard the food here was good but i will never know because we left. These ppl think they are wayyyy cooler than they actually are. Being dick is out dated and will get them nowhere! Dont go here if you like hospitality.

My disclaimer is that I was 3 sheets to the wind when I walked in the place, but I have to mention the food we got. I consider myself a Tots and Onion Rings connoisseur, and this place had both in spades. Honestly, probably the best tots and onion rings I’ve had in Atlanta. The rings were very crispy and the whole onion did not get dragged out with one bite. Tots… how can you describe the perfect tot? they just were.

The new owner, Ed, has really turned this place around! He was our server on Monday night, when they were having a poker night. He’s got personality coming out of his ears, and he seemed to enjoy poking fun at us (which fit the situation).
My one beef is that my friend told me before going that there were healthy options, and there ARE — but not many. (It’s unfortunate for me that I don’t really care for portabello mushrooms, bc there is a sandwich of that type.) But the pulled chicken was really good — the barbecue sauce is PERFECT for me — nice and vinegar-​y. The green beans had kind of an odd taste to them, but not unpleasant.
My one friend got the turkey ribs, and they were delicious. Other friend got the reuben and OH. .. MY. .. GOD. We’re all STILL drooling over that thing. It’s not that it’s that BIG (like Jason’s Deli, where you have to unhinge your jaw like a cobra feeding on a damn zebra) — it’s that it’s that freakin’ good. Rumor has it that Ed has the deli meat flown in from the Carnegie Deli. Might want to verify that, though.
Also, we had the coconut jerk wings, and they didn’t disappoint on any level — yummy, and very coconut jerky (and somewhat spicy, as jerk should be). When I left I said, «I have to come here more often.» Not anytime I’m dieting, for certain (can you say «cheesesteak»?), but any other time. YUM.
It’s on Scoutmob through (if memory serves, bc the expiration date doesn’t show now that I’ve used it) 6÷5÷11. If you like dive bars (and it’s PRETTY dive-​a-​riffic), go!

Dive Bar. That pretty much sums it up. No, it’s not really clean. Yes, it’s dark enough so that they hope you don’t notice too much. Yes, it’s small and smells a bit of mildew. But I’d rather hang out here any night than at the Tavern at Phipps.
Just me? Nope, didn’t think so. Read on…
I went here for nerd trivia with some friends. Trivia was hard. But $ 1 tacos– even though we ordered 4 and had to wait an hour to get them– were awesome. I mean, I was not expecting them to be homemade, yummy, and topped with fresh cilantro. Score!
Just order a beer if you are here, their drinks are nothing to speak of and made rather weak. Never had any of the other food besides the tacos.
If you like dive bars, tattoos, beards, difficult trivia, cheap food, beer or all of the above, you will probably like this place. And bonus– Graveyard Tavern is right next door.

I came in here expecting it to be like most dive bars that I visit and for them to give me a drink where the alcohol is so über strong that it makes me want to slap my momma! I ordered a margarita, like how hard is it to make a frickin margarita? I sipped it and it was like sweet and sour overtook my tequila! What the heck? Who makes a margarita like that? Gravity that’s who! Weak sauce drinks! Where was the piss tequila trace of Speedy Gonzalez, Patron y Jose? And why was everybody dressed in black? If I didn’t know any better I could’ve sworn I was at a biker bar in redneck jawja!
1 star for the waitress being hot plus 1 star for her having tattoos mmmm! 0 stars for my drink grrrrr!

Oh Gravity, what a love-​hate relationship we have. I love nerd trivia, but I hate getting yelled at by the trucker-​stached cook dropping tacos on me.
I love the sense of approval I feel when the Sweet Home Alabama meets LCD Soundsystem bartender acknowledges my physical presence in front of him, but hate myself for loving it.
I hate that there’s a puddle of water and graffiti in the bathroom, but I love that the graffiti is Lord Byron (she walks in beauty like the night, of cloudless climes and starry skies – I do not lie).
I won’t rage against other patrons to defend my inner conflict. It’s a little bit country fried and a little bit dirty rock n roll.

Look I normally come here for a couple of cold PBR and Nerd Trivia on a Tuesday night. It is a great way to celebrate the passing of another Tuesday. Plus the trivia is actually challenging and fun.
However last time I was in I hadnt eaten so I decided to give the wings a try. They were amazing! Good price and great amount. I could really finish them and I am a fat kid.
Also the draught selection will surprise you sometimes. It is the only place I have been able to find the full spread of Jailhouse Brewey’s fair. I love their stout. Get one in your face!
Don’t bother coming here if you are decked out in american eagle.

Nothing new here…
Gravity falls into the play-​it-​safe world of PBR swilling «anti–
establishment» beer of choice fools who have no idea that savvy
capitalists have been quite effective at making massive profits off of
their «non-​conformist» asses through slick marketing!!!
Feel free to come and watch the 20 30 something crowd flog the
long dead carcus of karaōke, and pretty much do
absolutely nothing new and interesting with themselves.

The better half and I are always looking for the best dive bars. We had been here once before and it was fine, but last night was great. Quick with beer recommendations and other beverages, fabulous cheesy fries, and now — the Vandross (formerly known as the Luther Burger). A video game with all the oldies but goodies (Pacman, Ms. Pacman, Jr. Pacman, Asteroids, Frogger, Donkey Kong) rounded out the entertainment.
Go and enjoy an evening of great food with no attitude.

We stopped by here instead of Graveyard this last Friday because Graveyard is getting a bit too crowded for my liking. Gravity Pub is a lot more low-​key and you can actually hear the people next to you talk without having to yell to loud. The place is small, divey, rather clean and the bathrooms were cleaner than you would imagine them to be.
We had a nice table in the middle, some good tunes were blaring from the jukebox all night (my favorite being WEEN). It is a nice place to go out with a decent group of friends if you want to sit, talk and not get too crazy. Fast service was had all night and the people around us were friendly. Some guy accidentally spilled a beer on us and he bought our friend a PBR as an «I’m sorry» gesture. I hear Thursday nights here are pretty fun with Karaōke being belted out to songs by Seal in heavy metal fashion. I will be checking that out this upcoming week…

I ended up here after meeting up with a few friends on Thursday. Luckily Thursday at Gravity is Karaōke night.
I only had a few drinks, and didn’t have the energy to get on stage, but the people that did were all entertaining in their own way. The crowd was in a good mood, and overall it was fun.
Beware of the blind dog walking around. He’s really sweet, but can end up directly behind you.

This is my favorite bar in Atlanta. It has all sorts of interesting people in and out of there. The drinks are moderately priced and the beer is free flowing. The bartenders are cool and will actually do shots with you. The owner was always really cool too. Now that I live in LA I miss this place a lot.

If you don’t mind seeing a cockroach climbing on an obnoxious stranger’s arm and they are too drunk to know it, this is your place.
Yeah, it isn’t clean, nor is it my first choice of places to go in Atlanta, but it’s not the worst. My own private hell would be a night in Buckhead, but that’s another story.
But the Gravity Pub will help you get drunk if that is your aim, but be sure to order your next drink while you are still halfway done with your current one because you will be finished with it by the time it comes.
