Atlanta is full of incredible fine dining options, fun bars and quick burger joints. Before I moved here, I really had no idea what a social city Atlanta really is, but there are several establishments throughout town that prove it is. One area in particular I have come to love is midtown west. Last week, I had the chance to spend my Sunday at Ormsby’s, “a classic neighborhood tavern” in the area.
Ormsby’s is a fun restaurant/bar that features bocce ball, backgammon, skeeball, darts and more. It’s a great place to gather with a group of friends and have a great time. The full bar features tons of beer options and they offer yummy eats as well. The boiled peanuts are a true southern favorite. They come seasoned with Cajun spices and I couldn’t get enough! The hand-cut fries are also great and come with plenty of sauce options.
For my meal, I tried the eggplant parmesan sandwich, which was incredible. The flavors were just right and the bread was perfectly crispy on the outside. My friends and I sat at a large table and decided to play some fun drinking games. Ormsby’s provided us with board games and a deck of cards and we ended up playing for hours. I’m sure we were a little loud, but it was all cool with the Ormsby’s staff. The atmosphere was very fun and laidback and I felt comfortable the whole time.
Overall, I had a great experience at Ormsby’s. The food was great, the service was accommodating and the drinks were refreshing. I honestly can’t wait to go back and have some more fun!

I LOVE this place! It’s actually one of my favorite date night spots because when you play some of the games it challenges you and your date to interact with each other. Great post!

My bf and I actually went there on one of our first dates! We played scrabble and there were like no spaces on the board at all after a while. It was so much fun and challenging!!

Truth be told, I’ve never even heard of Ormsby’s, but it looks like a really neat place! We don’t have a whole lot of restaurants around my area, but I’m totally adding this to places to go. 🙂

I think this is their only location. Atlanta is all about the local businesses! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
