Great place, great food, great service. Not scary!!! Main Street East Point is fine. Jefferson Park is great! Don't get me wrong... there are bad parts of East Point... but there are bad parts everywhere in Atlanta and surrounding areas.
Don't be shy! Just come and enjoy!
First of all, I think its kinda funny some reviewers think downtown East Point is scary. I dunno why it just makes me chuckle. So onto Corner Tavern. I love this place!
The drinks are affordable, the serving staff is welcoming and take good care of their patrons. The food is better than a lot of bars. The buffalo shrimp is succulent and I could drink their buffalo sauce which they make homemade by the way. As everyone else has mentioned, the fried artichokes are delish and definitely worth the trip. I've also enjoyed the French Dip which was pretty darn good.
They have all kinds of entertainment available in the form of darts, pool and games you can play at your table like Jenga (or some kind of rip off of Jenga). I always love having the option to play if I want to.
I've gone to Corner Tavern looking cute and I've gone whilst taking a break from rebuilding my porch wearing overalls and looking disgusting and no matter what the servers were amazingly welcoming. There is absolutely no attitude here. All are welcome, the more the merrier!
Stop in, enjoy a few drinks and take care of your waitstaff cuz they rock!
I'm giving props to our waitress. We had an unexpected table of 20, I think, on the back patio on a Wednesday night. And she warned us ahead of time to not switch or move seats. We obeyed. And she was exceptional. Friendly, fast, to-the-point, and thoughtful.
I'd go back for the service alone. However, the food was decent. My BF and I split the hummus platter and chips and cheese dip. The burgers that everyone else was getting looked mighty appetizing though. Perhaps next time, as I'm sure there will be one.
I was a little sketched out to go here initially. Downtown is already a little scary sometimes, but going to East Point?!? Oh whatever, my Trivia itch overcame and we decided to go here for trivia.
We were pleasantly surprised, that is for sure. The food is diverse and, while it is primarily bar food, I will say that have some healthier food, mixed in with some things you really have never heard of or tried before, like the fried artichokes.
Being that most bar food is pretty mediocre, this food was pretty good. The setup of the restaurant is cool too... They have darts as well as like 4 pool tables.
It appears they have drink specials on a continual basis as well which I like, being a cheapie (who wants to pay $6 for a beer, ya know?!?).
And, my BF and I got third place in trivia both times we went, which translated into 2 $10 gift certificates. So, we will be back. Oh yes, they also have "XXX Rated (or Adult) Trivia," which I have yet to play, but it does sound cool.
To conclude, if you are a trivia fan or if you live close-by, give this place a chance and I think you will enjoy, just like I did.
Okay, so I had a hard time rating this place fairly. To be honest, I didn't eat anything but lack of experience has never prevented me from having an opinion.
The service here was great. Our server was prompt, spunky, attentive, had good hygiene, and really cool tats....all pluses in my book. The atmosphere of the place was trendy and eclectic...lots of fun. It was like an urban Cheers, but with more alternative lifestyles and piercings and no fat mailman.
There was a steady flow of kariaoke...karioke...karioake...there were lots of people up singing. The song selection was great. We were grooving along to everything from rock to redneck, grunge to ghetto, with a splash of retro and remix thrown in. Any place that can mix up the cupid shuffle, Van Halen, Reba, and Whitney all in the same rotation and still keep everyone into it is awesome in my book.
Also, apparently you have to be able to sing to work there, because half of the staff sang at one time or another. Two of them were phenomenal. The only reason I couldn't give a higher rating was the....um...exterior atmosphere, which left much to be desired. to be fair, I probably should't hold the creepy panhandlers on the sidewalk against them. On a brighter note, I did enjoy getting my heart rate up dashing from the car to the tavern and back again, all with my trust phone in hand in case I had to throw it at someone. I guess I'm more used to the midtown vagrants and was out of my element.
I do like this place. I'm gonna go back. This place is great.
Three words: Fried. Artichoke. Hearts.
Whenever my parents come to town they usually want to go here and eat on the patio. We get two orders of fried artichoke hearts for four people and we eat them all. They are just that good! Now don't let the fact that I said my parents love to come to the Corner Tavern scare you off. My parents are drinkers and love good fatty foods.
There are some many good things to eat here as long as you keep in mind you are gonna be eating bar food. But occasionally they will slip in a daily special that is light and flavorful. Always ask the server about the daily special as they most likely had it that day for lunch and will probably give you an honest opinion on whether to get it or not. My favorites here include the Diablo Burger (which is burger served with salsa, chili sauce and cheese) and the Reuben. The beer list is a decent size and changes every once in a while with new draft items.
THE BOTTOM LINE -- The place is great for an afternoon lunch on the patio or a late night dinner on the weekend.
Nice place to hang out with friends. Never had any issues with service - they've always been super nice and never take too long. Burgers are good and having the option of playing pool (I think there are around 5 tables...I've never had to wait for one) or darts is a plus. I'm definitely a fan :)
$2.50 for a 16oz PBR.
AMAZING buffalo chicken sandwich.. just ask for it grilled.. and you are in business..
I didn't like the fries, they were soggy and kinda home made looking.
The tomato basil soup was perfect.. so.. i was quite happy with dinner.
Waitstaff great
Clean bathrooms..
Stairs offer a little workout pre and post meal..
there was Trivia there on Fri night.. I didn't venture out of my booth area other than to go to the bathrooom, but my side of the bar was nice.
The East Point extension of the same bar/restaurant venue right in the heart of Little Five Points. This branch offers the exact same menu as its sister---tasteful bar food, from salads to well-made sandwiches and pasta dishes.
I actually liked the East Point version better than the L5P as the ambiance seemed more chill and open. It was on the second floor of the building, and for some reason I always like coming upstairs to eat (perhaps tricking myself into believing I'm working up an appetite?).
I had the reuben which was immaculate, and more refined in taste than most other reubens I've had. The steak sandwich ordered by a friend received high reviews as well.
I was surprised to find the coffee here was actually tasty: a rarity for a bar.
East Point seems to be another up and coming area, perhaps the Cabbagetown of 5 years from now. EPCT is a nice addition to an area worth exploring.
I have now had the artichoke hearts...they were good. Also of note is the pineapple chicken sandwich-devine.
Great food for dine in or take out. Well poured drinks, cool patio (covered and hidden away in the… Read more »
This localtion is the original, baby.
Affordable, good food, funky-friendly staff, great patio, and a killer beer selection make the EP Corner Tavern our favorite local bar & grill. Their activities (karaoke, pool, darts, Texas Hold 'Em, trivia) make going there even more of an adventure. Great place to meet or make friends.
...You wanna go where everybody knows your name.....
Try the onion rings with a steamed deli sandwich. They have the BEST buffalo shrimp EVER.
Great neighborhood tavern! The staff is very friendly and I'm sure once I get settled down in East Point I'll be in the habit of going regularly and will probably learn all of their names. They've got pool tables, a patio, darts, and I think I even saw a chess set in the corner.
As for the food... very tasty. Their fried artichoke hearts are to die for! Daily specials. Big salads. They also have a good selection of wine.
I just moved to a neighborhood fairly close to East Point and went to Corner Tavern for the first time Saturday. Love it! I can definitely see this becoming one of my regular destinations for dining and drinking. Had the Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich, which has grilled pineapple on it and is fantastic. Don't care for the knot roll it's served on though; it's a pretty messy sandwhich as it is, and if you cut it down the center like I did, it pretty much falls apart. Very tasty though.
Staff is really friendly, atmosphere is very laid-back. But the main thing I noticed that deserves mention is the jukebox. Maybe this isn't such an uncommon thing these days (I don't go to bars all that much), but they have a digital touchscreen jukebox that can literally download most any music selection you can think of. This was the first one of these I had seen but it blew my mind! You can search for songs and even use additional credits to move your song up so it's the next to be played. Awesome!
Fried artichoke hearts = amazing.
Onion rings = delicious!
Drinks = reasonably priced (make sure you get a glass with your PBR, the can smells like an ashtray; which is the caveat of being in a bar)
Overall, I really liked the feel and atmosphere of this place. It has a cute outdoor patio, and the main bar is pretty spacious and very nice. There is place to play darts, a large bar, several pool tables, and even a little corner with board games and whatnot. What I did find interesting, was that as the night wore on, more and more patrons coming into the bar were gay. Lesbians and gay men took the place by storm, and I was fascinated to see a full fledged gay friendly bar this far from the city! That definitely made the night better.
Also, while my friends loved our server, I have to say, she was really toeing in the line; she was almost too bitchy to find it funny anymore. Other than that, service was great.
I would give this place five full stars, but any place that allows smoking always gets docked one star; that's just how it goes, ya'll.
The ORIGINAL of the two taverns, with the second opened in L5P last year, this is a true neighborhood spot with great food, wicked drinks and a spunky staff that knows how to hustle.
Atmosphere Pluses - 1) their great outdoor patio, one level up with ferns, fans and gas lamps for cooler weather, 2) four pool tables, 2 dart boards, 3) local celebrity and Rock Star INXS contestant Heather Lutrell providing occasional entertainment , 4) Tuesday Night Trivia, 5) Thursday Night Poker
Food! - 1) Homemade Fries - get wasabi mayo and curry ketchup for dipping, 2) Corn Chowder, 3) Grilled Hawaiian Chicken Salad, 4) Any of the burgers, 5) Daily Lunch & Dinner specials are always good
Drinks - 1) bartenders know how to pour, 2) massive beer list
People rarely think about hanging out in the southside, but this place shouldn't be overlooked. I've lived all over Atlanta and this is one of my favorite places to get a little tipsy.
I love this place! The servers and bartenders are really nice and their Buffalo Shrimp Salad is the best! I also liked the Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Collard Greens and Sauteed Mushrooms.
I had a great time here attempting to shoot pool (I'm no good). It was a decent local crowd but wasn't packed and there was room to spread out. Waitress was quick with all of our drink orders (there were probably 10 of us). I really, really liked the fries and the curry ketchup. A friend ordered them but I ate more than she did...oops! They were craveable. The nachos were excellent, too. The rest of the menu looks interesting with some cool twists on bar food such as an Asian tuna burger, collard greens and shrimp & corn fritters. They have a good beer selection. Their outdoor upper patio looked massive and fun, too.
The other night I was like...I NEED RED MEAT!!!
Doug and I like to stay close to home during the weekday but there are no stake houses in our area. We were going to go to the Vortex but the line was really long so we ended up at the Tavern. I opened their menu to not only find a stake but it was also topped with blue cheese and caramelized onions. Can you say YUM? Also their sides are wonderful! Garlic mash-potatoes and feta cheese spinach. I must say I was impressed. Also, our waiter (I am not sure of his name) was on the ball and our drinks were always topped off. I give them 4 stars and a big Yahoooo!
I love this place! Friday Nights adult Trivia is awesome! Especially when Heather is Bartending! Food is good. Always hungry when I go in even if I just ate! And I love that they have Magic Hat on tap! Yum!
This pub has a nice feel to it. I'll admit I had no idea where east point was but truth is, its not that far from Atlanta. This pub is worth the trip for a good brew and good food and live music on Sunday. Wish it was closer!
Good neighborhood bar. Friendly staff who are willing to point out if the beer is pouring "wonky." The food is tasty for bar food. The fries can actually be quite top-notch on a good day (I've had them come out soggy, but only once). Kitchen's open pretty late. Too bad they still allow smoking inside. Other than that, it's a pretty good place to hang.
We went here yesterday after my plane out of Atlanta got delayed for several hours. We decided to drive around College Park and check it out but apparently started with the wrong part of College Park - so we were a little disappointed with the area. This changed as soon as I found this place (while yelp-ing from my cell phone) and we headed over.
They have good beer on tap, delicious sweet tea, and the food was good (we had a chicken cheese and bacon sandwich with collard greens and sweet potatoes - the sweet potatoes were particularly good).
We played a few games of pool and then moved to the outside deck and enjoyed the ceiling fans and the view. We liked the laid-back clientele and the overall laid-back feel of the place.
I love the Tavern, I am so glad to have a place to go eat some great food, hang out with friends, shoot pool and just relax for a minute. The atmosphere is always fun and friendly, the service is fast and upbeat. I love the back porch in the summer!
EPCT is a great neighborhood bar/restaurant. Great food and selection, good beer choices, wonderful 9 foot pool tables in good shape, usually something do do most every night - Sunday's live music is the definite highlight. Quick access from Atlanta. I highly encourage you to check this place out.
