Elbow Room is a great spot to relax with a good drink and tasty food. The atmosphere is comfortable, the service is friendly, and everything came out fresh. The Irish Mule was made really well and ended up being one of the highlights. The “small” onion rings were surprisingly giant and absolutely on point. The potato skins, on the other hand, were just okay — not bad, but nothing special. Overall, it’s a solid place for a casual meal and well-made drinks.

The space itself is a vibe. Walking in, it genuinely felt like New York; great energy, great atmosphere, and a concept that immediately pulls you in. As someone visiting Atlanta for the first time, this was exactly the kind of spot I was excited to experience.
That said, the service seriously missed the mark.
We waited close to an hour for calzones. That’s not an exaggeration and for context, I’ve never waited more than 15–20 minutes for something like this anywhere. There was little to no communication, no updates, and no acknowledgment of the delay, which made the wait feel even longer.
I want this place to win because the potential is absolutely there. But service and execution matter just as much as ambiance. A quick check-in, transparency about wait times, or even a small gesture would have gone a long way.
If management tightens up operations and prioritizes guest experience, this could easily be a standout spot. Until then, the vibe alone can’t carry it.

The pizza is great! Shoe string fries were served they were good. Those are not my favorite style of fry but they were good.
The pizza tasted like brick oven pizza.
The staff was super friendly and attentive.
The place is as described. Elbow room..lol. It is a tight fitting place. But some good seatingnoptions. They played old school like early to mid 90s rap while we were there. Had a great time. Would definitely revisit.
Again the pizza was great!

Food is good, but unfortunately due to consistent very poor service, we are disappointed as frequent customers that we will need to find a new regular spot. Would not recommend.

Nice place, the decor is a little dated, but the TVs are great. We went for a Texans game as it is a Texans bar and that was great. The pizza, especially the Stromboli was great. Be aware, the parking is limited.

Long time customer here at Elbow Room. Walking in here nothing but smiles and a warm welcome from staff and patrons a like. Bubbly vibe, Christmas feel, with friendly customers jockeying for a position at this ever so popular bar, with great food flare. We decided on a large “Pizza Supreme”. Real nice, baked right, in the later hours of Buckhead. Thanks Elbow Room, for nothing but good times, as an Atlanta destination spot!

I really like the feel of this bar. It feels like a great local bar where everyone knows each other and the vibe is real chill.
Let’s start with the bad. The parking lot has only 9 spaces and one path to enter/exit the premise. There is some street parking but you have to pay for that.
The place looks huge. Plenty of seating and TVs at the bar. There is an upstairs and outside patio.
I ordered the Stromboli which was huge and cheesy. I also grabbed a beer and cocktail which were good. I like this place.

I love coming here! Especially at midnight. The pizza is one of the best pies in town. But then again all their food hits pretty good. The staff is funny and interactive. And the people who come are characters. If your looking to do something but still be chill and entertained then try my spot.

This place has always been consistent. Great food, fun and friendly staff, and very clean. I get the Stromboli on and off every few years, and it is always to Joe’s high standards. Hope for many more good years!!

Can’t believe I’d never been here before after 20+ years in Atlanta… Fantastic Italian dishes & drinks! We got 2 pizzas (bianca & pepperoni) both of which were grade A. Their cazadores frozen marg was good too, but s/o to our server Morgan for making our visit really enjoyable. Will be going back for more!
