“ The atmosphere is always fun and welcoming, whether it’s game day or just a regular night out. The service is top-notch, and Olivia, the manager, does an amazing job making sure everything runs smoothly. She’s friendly, professional, and truly cares about the customers. The staff is great, the drinks are reasonably priced, and the pool tables and outdoor seating make it a perfect spot to hang out. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great time! ”
“ The drinks are always amazing here and the staff is always polite and attentive. This bar definitely wins for the largest restroom I never have to wait in line to use the restroom at this bar. I think they have a TV on every inch of wall space in this place and if you ask them to change it they don't mind. The bathrooms are constantly looked after and kept clean. There's great outdoor seating and plenty of seating inside along with pool tables and bar space. We'll kept all around. Definitely recommend this place for big parties!! If they ever have a crawfish boil. Don't miss it!! I have been a few times and the crawfish are always amazing!! Great bar all around ”
“ We went watch the Atlanta Braves play and it was great.We really enjoyed guard time ”
“ Stopped by here for lunch and a few drinks after A Day. Loved it! The Pink Elephant drink is a must try!! ”
“ Love the large selection of brown and that the bartenders have an extensive knowledge base to match when it comes to drink selection. One big surprise was the food. After tasting the fries, I went into instant fat kid mode. The burger I ordered was great, prepared to perfection and then match with fries with a simple yet bold seasoning blend. For nice vibes, great food, and if you're mature enough to appreciate darker alcohol this is the place for you for sure. ”
“ Houndstooth is one of the best, if not the best bars in ttown! Everything is perfect, people are nice etc. it’s all grand. Now, the big boy bouncer with the glasses and the beard... That gentleman is rude and unprofessional. The way he speaks and treats customers isn’t what you would expect from a bar such as houndstooth. Bouncers should be used for authority, not being a-holes to your customers for no reason. ”
