Kramer’s

We went here early for an event where all proceeds from the door and bar sales went to leukemia and Lymphoma research. Staff was professional. One bartender made crappy drinks one made good drinks, ⁵⁰⁄₅₀.
Bathrooms were clean. Parking is across the street or a few drives down.
I’m not a huge Buckhead bar scene person, I’m a little old for it but the live music was so good I would go back.

Can you say that you know at least 12 people who have had their phones stolen from the same bar? I can! Kramers has a professional phone thief that knows what they are doing. They will slip into your pockets and purses going completely unnoticed. The owners are aware of the problem and have refused to take any further precautions to try and prevent the problem — even after seeing video footage of the incident.
So if you want to chance having your phone stolen then be sure head on over to Kramers.

Disappointing service. Was with a bar crawl and supposed to receive special pricing here, as negotiated between the bar and bar crawl organizer. Ordered a drink and was charged regular price instead of the $ 4 deal we were supposed to get on the crawl. I told the bartender and he seemed annoyed but took my credit card back and ran it again and gave me a new bill. Sure enough, both drinks were debited from my account a few days later. Called and spoke to a manager and he took my card info and said he would refund me. It’s been 5 days and still nothing. I’m out over $ 10 for one crappy well vodka drink. Was also super hot inside Kramers.

This place seems like an underage sausage fest. Yes they check IDs, but the people here always seem underage.
The beers are average Buckhead bad prices and they have a decent collection of $ 6 per bottle craft beers which isn’t too bad.
The bathrooms — well, go early or hold it in.
They have a decent outdoor space when the weather is nice.
It’s pretty roomy when you compare it to its neighbors but that doesn’t do much.
The only reason I went was because my friends dragged me. I’ve been before and never been impressed.
3 stars because it could be a lot worse but it’s nothing special.

Know what you’re getting into here before you go. If I you don’t mind being bumped into without an apology, drinks in a plastic cup and yuppies, this place is fun. It’s fun for me sparingly. If any of those things turn you off, avoid here (or anywhere in Buckhead village for that matter).

It is what it is. A dive college-​isk bar. If I were to rate on that, it prob deserves a night rating. But all things considered it’s dark, crowded, loud, sticky, smoky… blah blah. But. It is that kind of place you go to at the end of a long drunken evening to close out the night. Crazy, packed with people, cheap alcohol… but generally a good time.

I came here with a few friends on a Friday night to have a drink or two after a long week of work. At first it was nice and pleasant the bar was mostly empty but once 11 – 11:30pm hit, this place got swamped. I mean you could not move, you could not here and you could not have a good time. I don’t really have any complaints about the bar or the staff, it just it becomes so crowded that you feel trapped. Maybe it’s just me but his place is not for me.

The owners must be Greek or total drunks because all I hear is beer bottles being smashed in the side alley every single morning at 3am. Nice way to show respect for the residents who need to get up at 6am and go to work.

Great bar. Lots of people, great atmosphere. Bartenders were attentive and kept the atmosphere fun.
They always had good music. If you are in the Buckhead area, I would definitely stop by here.

I didn’t have a terrible time but the people that frequent this place just dont really align with what I think of when you ask me what a good night out is. Buckhead in general reminds me a lot of Athens, both in company and prices. Music selection is mainly top 40s, which is at least easy to dance to.

This is a GREAT bar! Awesome monthly events, the crowd is nice especially on the weekends, great music, and amazing bartenders. This is definitely a must-​see dive bar if you’re in Atlanta visiting.

I love Kramers! I use to come here all the time 3 years ago. Since then it has had a face-​lift and still continuing. It’s very laid back and full of great people. Kramer himself is always there and one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.

Worst bar I’ve ever been to.

Went there this past weekend, had a band blasting eagles and AC/​DC songs. Bartenders got to us in a decent amount of time. Crowd was OK, we didn’t stay too long. It’s a place to grab a few beers. The older music is a plus, a change from the typical stuff being played.

No cover and a fun band in the back! Not too crowded you couldn’t move around but certainly a busy place. Cheap beer always :)

I’m not really a fan of Kramer’s. Each time I’ve been I am immediately approached by skeezer guys. The patio is pretty nice, if its not crowded. It is a laid back bar, and I’m sure its fun when normal people are there.

I’m a fan of Kramer’s, and this may be an indication of my gross lack of knowledge about Atlanta nightlife, I always have a solid time there.
This bar is located next door to an adult movie store and… that’s about it. You pretty much have to go out of your way to get to this place, so don’t expect any random «stumble-​by» crowds or anything like that.
It basically reminds me of a college bar for a mid-​twenties crowd that want to relive their glory days. The décor is forgettable. The beer selection isn’t that great. But what really makes the place fun is the music. I recall a night last summer when my husband and I stopped by just to see what was going on. We walked in to find a $ 10 for all-​you-​can-​drink special of keg beer (Yes please! What better way to relive college?) And then, the turning point when this bar won over my heart — Toto’s «Africa» came blaring across the outdoor patio and my mind was made up.
In all seriousness, it’s a fun, laid-​back drunk bar for when you just want to get tipsy and goof off with your friends. They also have a raucous game Keno going at all times, which can be fun if you can pick your numbers in time and get it to the bartender.

According to Unilocal,one star means «Eek! Methinks not.» This is a perfect description for how I feel about this obnoxiously loud, viciously overcrowded bar. I arrived around one in the morning and waited about ten minutes to get a drink – I was unsuccessful. All my bartender friends have told me many a time that even a mediocre bartender will notice who’s waiting for a drink and will do his/​her best to serve people in the order they approached, that flagging down the servers or yelling would put you back farther in line than you’d ever wish.
So I took out my money, stood right behind the bar, and waited. Made eye contact with the bartender THREE times and he repeatedly served others, including a girl who was strolling on up as he asked her what she wanted. Not cool.
The deejay insidej was BLASTING blasé, overplayed music and I retreated to the front deck, thirsty and annoyed. Had fun with my friends but could tell that I would never, EVER go to this place again.

I used to go to Kramer’s every weekend, then people just stopped going there, so I hadn’t been there in awhile until last weekend.
For the Buckhead bar scene, it is always easy to get a drink, there is rarely a line for the bar, and they just added a bunch more outdoor seating. And there are two bathrooms, one up front and one in the back, which are clean enough compared to some of the other Buckhead bathrooms.
It is definitely a fun place to go with the mid-20’s age crowd, to sit outside with a group and have a few drinks, while watching all the belligerent people stumble their way down to 5P and Churchills.
