    I love this bar. I mean really, really love it. Best bar tenders in Atlanta (I'm serious). Cheap drinks and amazing clientele. The only thing I'm sad about is no more Sunday karaoke. I went every week and always had a blast. There are some fantastic singers who regular here. Other than that, man...best prices on drinks and such a friendly place. Love it. I've been a regular for years and will be as long as I live here.

    We entered the spot at around 845 and were ignored for a full 15 minutes then she tried explaining why she was ignoring us .........truth she was ready to go home. So the total came to 18 00 I gave here a 20.00 and she didn't even attempt to give me my change Sure I would've given it to her but she made the choice not me.

    I really love this bar and no one paid me to say it! OK It’s bare bones and in a weird location. But everyone that works and drinks there is always so nice. I’ve always gotten fast service and strong drinks. Plus questionable, unlimited Chex mix! It’s a quirky bar and I hope it stays.

    In response to the other One Star Review. There was a rude guy working at the one on Ponce, I heard they moved him over to the new location. A very Nasty character, I know I was insulted on Ponce, and I will not go to this location because a friend told me when she went there she saw him and she walked out and didn't even buy a drink. We will let all our friends know in the EAV, what's going on at this bar because it was full of drug dealers on Ponce and now it's just blocks away from residential homes and families.

    It's now known as The T Grant Park. Fun little bar with a pool table, games and a jukebox. The owner and staff are wonderfully attentive and friendly. They serve food in the evenings created in their kitchen by a local chef, although I am unsure of exactly what nights. The crowd is somewhat eclectic and a mixed bunch as one would expect in and around midtown Atlanta. There is ample parking and plenty to drink.

    Service on a Friday night was abysmal. I understand Felix must've been having a rough night, but waiting 45 minutes+ for a drink is insane, even more so when he was snapping at MULTIPLE customers over the course of the night and borderline refusing to serve the karaoke crowd. Been going to this place since they were on Ponce. Deeply disappointed in my experience tonight but I'm willing to believe it's not always this bad.

    I'm a regular here or there but there karaoke guy is selfish and self absorbed. He has an attitude and has napoleon complex. So the food is def great the drinks are good but if you want to sing on their karaoke night, please watch it for miss napoleon dynamite she will wreck your song or cute you on the mic if she is going thru her issues. However, everyone can be replaced and time will show... Note... If you are in customer service serve the customer vent and tell in the back like a grown woman.

    Kate, the bartender, was incredibly kind to me while I felt down and was quick to keep my drink filled. She lent a sympathetic ear too. I came in distraught and left with a smile. So thanks.

    The location is nice but the bartenders is VERY NASTY and RUDE. Especially the white male bartender name FELIX. I found him to be NASTY for no reason. I politely pulled him aside to call attention to his unprofessional ugly behavior. His comment to me was "It's not about you ? I kept my cool. I left with a desire to never go there again. Model Trash !

    Friendly bar! Good juke box! Great bartenders ( Michael and Felix) ! Its not your typical gay bar - straight, bi, black, white and just plain everybody welcome and gets along. Only con is its smoky and there is no change machine for the pool table.

    Much like the previous bar at this location, they hire nasty rude employees. Who drink behind the bar, snap at the customers and generally continue the dysfunctional behavior of the previous establishments, yes It is now called the Model T! I personally will never go there again. I feel it is not worth the eventual bad experience. Take this review or leave it, but I did my best to describe the reality I experience at this place.

    We had to stand outside for an hour to get in. The guy that was the "bouncer" was hustling customers to pay $20 per person to not wait in the line to get in. He was rude and argumentative. Once we got in the atmosphere was stuffy and the people were very pretentious and unfriendly. Will never go back there again. Bulldog's is more friendly and accommodating to their customers.

    Great neighborhood bar. The staff is friendly, the drinks are good, and the atmosphere is lively.

  • 4/5 Treylin H. 10 months ago on Google • 33 reviews
    I have visited this place maybe about five times. I must say that the environment is pretty consistently inviting. The bartenders have very very loose hands and they know how to make you feel like you are in Hollywood. It is really small and intimate, but it does have a very good outside patio and the karaoke on Sundays is amazing.

    This bar is ok just be weary of the service and wait times.its currently experiencing an increase in the number of folks coming and I dont think they've adjusted to that other than hiring additional security; frankly I based on the attitudes I dont think they ahve the desire to hire additional bar staff. A couple examples...on last Thursday they only had two bartenders...one completely shut down to close out for a shift change and the other tried to take the orders of everyone else in the bar..it took me 20+ minutes to get a cocktail. On another occasion (a Sunday night) the bartenders shut the bar down because they had too many people in the bar. Its ok to visit occasionally but can be mildly frustrating to frequent.

    I have been to this establishment on many occasions and this was the absolute worst night. I didn't order food but as I drank my first cocktail the Caucasian woman serving me also gave me a cup of water when I asked. With my second drink I asked for a refill of water from the tall Black bartender who referred me to a cooler of water in the establishment. I questioned him as a patreon why I couldn't be served water while sitting and drinking and tipping him for service... he became agitated and rude I then asked another bartender who appeared Hispanic and shorter why the bartender wouldn't serve me water he .. again referred me to the cooler of water as the source for patrons but did so in an angy and aggressive tone while the tall bartender chimed in angrily as well I just in disbelief.. the Hispanic bartender said I could leave if I wanted and I told him I planned to do that after I finished my second drink .. all this to say I have never encountered such rude bartenders at this establishment I was turned off and may choose not to come back but felt that I was treated less than other customers. the Hispanic bartender definitely spoke to me as if I were less than he which I absolutely will not tolerate.. all in all I did not enjoy my experience... I hope owners and management realize that our community does not have to come to this establishment and if we're not welcomed and made to feel that we are worthy we will stop coming as a community.

    This bar is everything great about bars. On the one hand, you should all experience what a bar should be. On the other hand, this bar is the best, and I hate sharing. Good drinks. Amazing staff. A terribly dangerous place if you like booze and fun.

  • 3/5 Steve T. 1 year ago on Google
    Meh. It's pretty much a boring little gay bar that doesn't really try to provide anything different or interesting. I'll stick with Mary's in EAV because at least they try to be fun. Kind of a depressing vibe. Service is inconsistent.

    I stopped in 8 12 2022 for my b day celebration. Not as Gay as one would hope. Waited a bit at bar for drink service. Non existant. This rude SOB blue shirt and jeans base ball cap said pardon me and plopped his butt down forcing me to step out of my area as i was there first. Ive noticed my whole trip was very rude people in Atlanta. Good luck peeps during your stay. Hotel peeps rude fast food workers and drivers on hwy rude rude rude. ! Vip of central Fla here, now we know hospitality. Come on down take lessons from the pros.

    The clientele is mostly awesome though there are a few bad eggs. Some staff are nice others are rude and snap for no reason at all. Heavy pours but you get that at every gay bar. Take your money elsewhere

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting the local karaoke bar. The environment was inviting and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The music selection was excellent and there was something for everyone. The drinks were reasonably priced and the food was delicious. Overall, I had a great time and would definitely recommend this karaoke bar to anyone looking for a fun night out.

    Cool neighborhood watering hole with karaoke..older crowd was enjoyable ... seems like a nice safe spot to hang out with friends

  • 1/5 Pierre E. 8 months ago on Google
    There is a bartender by the name of Felix who works there. He is rude, disrespectful, entitled and does not need to work there. I pray you never encounter him if you should go to this bar. You may not want to ever return.

    I love my job ,I love my job, I love my job...we enjoyed this new found spot! Great music ,Reasonable drink prices ..this spot rocks. .except for the hound dog dudes in the parking lot just waiting to put a boot on your vehicle! Just don't leave your car and walk across the street!

    Still love love love and now they have a caterer who is amazing on Thursday and FRIDAY NIGHTS AND THE BEST DJ... ASK FOR MIESHA FOR YOUR BARTENDER.

  • 1/5 polo. d. 3 years ago on Google
    My phone was stolen here. They have cameras everywhere that "don't record" which is ultimately pointless. You should be concerned about your safety in this place.

  • 5/5 Brian W. 2 years ago on Google
    I don’t know how others have had a bad experience here. Bartenders are always friendly, cheap drinks, nice patio area, always someone friendly to talk to, and the bar is open very late. The vibe is much more subdued than the previous Ponce incarnation, i.e. NOT a tweaker bar.

  • 5/5 B M. 1 year ago on Google
    I absolutely love this s bar. The atmosphere and the bartenders are amazing. I've always feel welcome. Very down to earth. No pretense here. Fortress of solitude after a long day

  • 5/5 Ryan T. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent place to get a drink, watch ATL UTD and sing and dance around the bar with friends. The bar staff were incredibly friendly and very helpful. The outside patio was a great little spot as well

  • 5/5 Yukie “Amy” M. 4 years ago on Google
    Aldo known as The Model T. Such a great small queer bar with drinks as amazing as their staff (especially Felix!) One pool table, a juke box and three or four outside tables round out the intimate setting

  • 4/5 Piyush P. 5 years ago on Google
    My soccer team and I go here after every game. Cheap food and beer. We love the staff, and they treat us like friends. Definitely ask for the wings or chicken fingers mixed in buffalo and lemon pepper. They'll change your life!

  • 5/5 Charlene B. 4 years ago on Google
    If you are looking for a bar that feels like "your home away from home" then Grant Park Tavern- which recently changed its name to T's is the place to go for the absolute best Margaritas, Bloody Mary's and most any other spirited concoction you can conjure. My bartender Josh will greet you with the biggest smile and warmest service. Jill the Manager often purchases some lil bite to eat to help weary travelers and hungry drinkers...in fact they just opened up their kitchen- so food is an option. Stop by...give them a try...you'll enjoy yourself👍!

  • 4/5 Ken H. 1 year ago on Google
    I came into this place without any context other than feeling down and the vibe, bartenders and excellent DJ immediately lifted my spirit.

  • 5/5 antwan s. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this bar and the bartenders.I’ve been going to this bar when they was in there old location by murder Kroger!!!!

  • 4/5 Whitney D. 5 years ago on Google
    The bartender was great and they have a nice selection of draft beer and wine. Only reason it's not five stars is that the grease smell is pretty strong. Other than that, great experience for a neighborhood bar.

  • 5/5 Dale Le M. 1 year ago on Google
    A great place to a few drinks and meet new friends. The bar tenders are great and always ready to take care of you. Love the place. And the food is excellent chef Michael does an excellent job and always ready to cook for you. A great cook!
