Moondogs

From Chicago, and was transfered down here for the summer. Happened to come across this bar from suggestions from a golfing buddy. Went up on a Tuesday and discovered it was a relaxed, comfortable place. They even put on the Cubs game for me. Pool tables were quite nice, and the bar was well kept. Was introduced to the knowledgeable, fun staff that poured me a great drink or three. But who is counting? Played some cards had some bad hands and a good time and felt right at home. Went up that same weekend and the same barkeep already had my drink in hand ready to go. Really enjoyed myself. Met some new faces and friends. Good stuff here in the Atlanta area. Would suggest and recommend this place highly. My home away from home. Pros: Great drinks and attractive people Cons: no beer nuts more

Moondogs has grown up, and i can not be happier!!! This place has evolved from a college bar into the staple of Buckhead night life. I am now in my late twenties and can honestly say this is the place to be seen in Buckhead. Relaxed atmosphere and great service put Moondogs at the top of my friends and colleges list of bars. Unlike the rest of Buckhead this place has not sold out. From the over zealous, pretentious bores or bars that have taken the city by storm it is great to see this place standing strong. From the great service to the great music this is the place to go. Look for Dallas, Mac and Charlie, they are the heart and soul of this bar. They are well honored and great to look at bartenders. My girls and I have had an ever lasting crush on them. So head up the stairs and grab a drink or a game of pool and mingle with friends and make new ones. Only down side is the smoke. Pros: the prices and the familiar staff Cons: smoking more

My buddies and I all play in the Texas Holdem contest they have on Thursday. You can't beat it the deal,It's the BEST IN ATLANTA! and We always come back on the weekend for the dance party scene. Sooo nice to hang out in a place thats run right! Cheers! Pros: Always Fun! more

Big drinks,Great prices and Awesome bartenders! My friends and I won't go anywher else! Alexis & Kelbe are both soooooooo HOT! .........GOODTIMES! Pros: Big drinks,Great prices, different bars,dancing, texas holdem,nice pool tables Cons: upstairs, crowded more

I definitely agree with other reviewer's comments on the cleanliness of this place- the floors are sticky, there's toilet paper all over the place in the bathroom, etc. However, it's a very fun place for the demographic that frequents it. It's frat guy central, though there never seem to be quite as many girls in there as guys (a bonus for girls!) They play very dance-able music, the drinks -if you don't have someone offering to buy them- are reasonably priced and relatively strong. There's no cover, and the staff are pleasant as well - over all it's just a very fun, relaxed atmosphere for young college-aged people. Only other drawbacks I can think of : It is extremely smokey; you will definitely encounter at least one incredibly drunk girl being dragged around pathetically by her friends; one of the 2 women's restrooms is actually one room with 2 toilets but no wall in between (kind of strange if your in there with someone you don't know very well!) and the men's room is VERY open- you can see guys standing there peeing as you wait for the women's to open up, and they also have zero toilets in the building for the guys, just a giant metal trough. Pros: relaxed, fun crowd, no cover Cons: dirty, smokey, bathrooms leave something to be desired more

Love this place. Located right upstairs from Hole in the Wall, Moondogs has a great variety of music, fun people looking to have a great time just like you, and awesome drinks. Good service. Even though its located in buckhead you will feel like its your own special neighborhood place that you've been going to for years. No dress code that I am aware of but the gentlemen should double check. It gets pretty hot from the body heat so ladies dont waste too much time on the hair it will be flat in 5minutes. I recommend a updo thats cute but doesnt require too much fuss. Go out and have a great time!!! Pros: cost, service, drinks, music, atmosphere, people, FUN!!! more

This is always one of my favorite bars to go to. Always things happening there, plus there is so much room there to move around. Very good prices and if you want to play pool there you can, if you want to dance you can, and if you want to sit down and relax, you can. Pros: Alot of room and great atmosphere more

Great times for me and my girlfriends. The bartenders are fast and fun to look at. great live music on Thursdays. Best Poker in town. Crowd is a major plus now. Not just a college bar, the best bar in Atlanta. Young and old alike this is the place to be. Great place to mingle and meet new people. Great to be seen. Easy to be a regular, I know all my girlfriends and I have been loving it since we celebrated our 21st there, and every birthday since. Keep it rockin Moondogs. Pros: Thumbs up, way up Cons: Smoking more

If you attend Georgia Tech, Georgia State, or Emory, you will fit right in at this bar. On Thursday-Saturday nights, the local colleges have this bar packed wall to wall, mostly greek. The bartenders are quick and trained well. I, personally, am a fan of the Long Island Iced Tea, and they make a mean one of those. Pool tables in two rooms separate adjacent rooms allow for you to get away from the noisy bar and have some "one on one" time with your friends. Booths are also located in the rooms so it's not just standing room only. Tables are located next to bar for larger parties to sit down and enjoy a pitcher as well. If you aren't 21, don't even bother trying to get into this bar. The bouncers are extremely strict and are known for confiscating fake ids. Moral - wait until you are legal to party. Pros: good if you are in the college crowd Cons: not very personal - gets very packed more

These guys must have the biggest drinks in town. They run a great poker tounament every Tuesday and Thursday and if you play well and get a little lucky you can win CASH! Friendly staff and good value on drinks I will be back! Pros: fastest bartenders best drinks Cons: same as all other high volume college bars more

I have been a long time customer of Moondogs for a few years. I just can't help but feel right at home the moment I walk through the door. The bartenders are top notch! I highly recommend this bar to fellow Atlantans as well as out of towners. GREAT BAR!!!!! Pros: This is just a Great Bar!! Cons: non more

I have been a regular at moondogs for about five years.I really cant say enough about how fantastic this bar is. I consider it like a second home, the owners and bartenders are very approachable and kind. There are always plenty of hot ladies to meet and fun people to hang out with.I would not rather be at any other bar in Atlanta! I will continue to come here on a regular basis and I advise all others to do the same! Pros: Good prices on drinks , great atmosphere, great ownership and bartenders Cons: Mac tries to make out with me all of the time!!!!!! more

This is my absolute favorite bar in Atlanta. Always a happening place to be, especially on the weekends. Bartenders are friendly and speedy and usually remember you the next time you come in which always makes me want to return to bar. Great atmosphere, great bartenders, great music, and good looking women, I mean what more can you ask for? Pros: Bartenders, Music, Poker, Pool tables, Darts, and the Women!!!!!!! Cons: Your mom more

Really great people! ...........My favorite bar by far! Nice big drinks and Dallas and Turner rock ! We love the new pool tables, You'll be seeing us every weekend! Why go anywhere else! Pros: New pool tables,Dance floor ,No cover,Value for the dollar! Cons: Crowded more

This place is always packed with people, in a good way. The drinks flow dangerously close to freely, and the game is usually on. This is a great place to kick back, shoot a couple games of pool and just take in the craziness of nightlife...on a WEEKDAY! more

Sure, it's a frat bar. If you want to go and get picked up by guys who would have one night stands with anything that has hole then this is the place for you. I think the drinks are affodable for these sorry guys to have a chance to buy girls drinks to get them drunk and all for a a "fun" night. But that's not what the problem is here nor what I am here to warn you about. Beware to get punched in the face by crazy ex-girlfriend of the the frat guy hitting on you. Just not worth it when there are hundreds of other places in Atlanta that are just as fun and just a bit more mature.... I dont know about you but I go out to bars at night because I am over hanging out at house parties with guys and girls that can't handle their alcohol. Have fun! more

This is a popular bar for college kids. Its definitely a frat bar. So if that's what you like, its a great place to be. The drinks are affordable. You can either dance, hang at the bar, or play a game of pool. Plus, there's no cover! It's a fun place. Pros: No cover, cheap drinks, multiple things to do Cons: Lots of smoke more

This place was a blast. I went for my friend's 21st birthday and it was full - but not so many ppl you couldn't move. They had great music, lots of people were dancing. The bartender was good, decent drink prices. We just had a great time drinking, dancing, and hanging out w/all our friends. more

Great drink prices, fast friendly service, 4 different bars in one location! Need I say more? MOONDOGS has the very best bartenders and a great crowd. We just spent the weekend in Atlanta and spent most of our time at MOONDOGS its like our home away from home! MOONDOGS gives such an opportunity for variety, in one room you can catch up on the scores for the ongoing games with several plasma tv's all showing a different game, in the groove lounge you can sit and chill for a bit till your ready to move to the next room where you can dance to the newest booty music! If you haven't been you must go check out MOONDOGS! Pros: Fast Friendly Service! Cons: none more

my friends and I always end up here on a friday night and we love it. from the atmosphere to the cheap drinks and friendly bartenders you can't go wrong. it's a good mix of a college bar and a dance club. and when it closes you stumble down to hole in the wall. Pros: great service, cheap drinks more
