    Underground, dark, warm and cozy, this neighborhood favorite is known for its steaks and drinks. Burgers are half price every Tuesday.
  • Creative Loafing Atlanta
    This subterranean restaurant billing itself as Virginia-Highland's oldest steakhouse has churned out some of Atlanta's best martinis (they come with a "sidecar" — a little extra shot of booze).

    This underground tavern has a very laid-back vibe. Lovely, dark, old cellar atmosphere, known for their steaks in the heart of the Highlands.

    Depending on the hour and the day, the atmosphere can change drastically, from classy-cool hang-out to raucous singles scene. Read more

    Stick around post-dinner. The further the night progresses, the blurrier the line between Highland Tap the steakhouse and Highland Tap the alcohol-cured hunting tavern becomes. Read more

    An Atlanta Classic. Fun--even with the yuppie crowd, and you can get a decent steak until midnight. -Hector Santiago, Top Chef

    Beware-it's a total cave. ZERO cell phone reception so lay out rocks or bread crumbs before you go in so that people can find you if necessary.
