My buddies and I will be in ATL in March. We are looking at Little Five Points as a place to go on a Thursday night. Is it a cool place to check out? Is one bar better than the other?
Also... we are looking for the best pizza in town. Traveling distance and price is not a problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help!
Little Five Points and a place for Great Pizza
Yes, Little Five Points is great. You can just wander between the bars. Star Bar is fun if there%26#39;s a good band playing. Corner Tavern and Vortex are fun but most people will be at tables eating rather than hanging around the bar. Vortex has great burgers. Corner Tavern is fine for bar food, but Brewhouse and Porter are better. Euclid Yacht Club is more of a traditional bar and is a ton of fun - definitely go there. Brewhouse is a fantastic place to sit on the patio and watch people. Front Page News and Sabrosa share a beautiful patio and are good places to drink, but neither has particularly good food. The scene in those two places is a little less eclectic than the other bars of L5P. The Porter is newer, but the bar is very happening. Check the calendar for Variety Playhouse, because it is a good place to see a band.
For pizza, you don%26#39;t even have to leave L5P - try Savage Pizza.

Hey thanks a lot! Your info will be very helpful. We will try to check out all of your suggestions. Looking forward to it. Again thanks...
bird4514 - I agree with most of what JAtlanta says. I would especially check out the schedule for Variety Playhouse for the days you%26#39;re here.
';The best pizza in town'; is a subjective thing. I know a lot of people who like Savage Pizza, but I%26#39;ve never been a fan. My preference is Fellini%26#39;s on McLendon Ave. Walking distance (but it%26#39;s a good walk!) from L5P.
March weather can be iffy here, but it should be a nice time of year.
I was also going to suggest Savage pizza....plus its right there in little 5 points. I%26#39;ve been there once and I personally really liked their pizza....they offer like 5 different sauces and they have quite a few specialty pizzas. Another pizza suggestion is Cameli%26#39;s gourmet pizza at 699 Ponce de Leon Ave. I%26#39;ve never been there (been meaning to check it out) but it gets a lot of good reviews...its not to far from little 5 points if you google the address i gave you. to be honest though at least from what i%26#39;ve experienced, atlanta is definitely not a pizza town.
I would also second checking out the Porter. If you have any interest in beer (and who doesnt!) you need to check this place out. Lots of different beer selections but dont expect to get a budweiser or guiness because its only micro brews and small foreign brewerys here. Havent had any food here, but from what I%26#39;ve smelled it sure does smell good.
Right next to porter is Criminal Records. Definitely worth checking out if you are into music. Then a little further down Euclid is the Yacht club. Great little bar cool bartenders also someone in there to have an interesting conversation with. Always have had a good meal in here. Personally I%26#39;d stay out of Brewhouse. Average food
at best and the service can be lacking.
Another bar and place to see bands is the Star Bar. I%26#39;ve only been there once but from what I remember it was a really cool place.
As you can see plenty of places in little 5 to hang out....definitely enough to keep you busy for a night. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hey thanks a lot for the info. We will definately be putting Little 5 on the to do list. I love pizza but it sounds like there is a couple of good burger joints too. Hell, as long as there is beer I%26#39;m good with it. Looking forward to it! Thanks again.
UGH!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to put in a vote here for Litte 5 Pizza, near where the road forks, right near
The Clothing Wearhouse, almost across from the Brewhouse Cafe (which is home to crazy Brit beer lovers). How can you guys have missed this! THIS is some of as close to NY pizza as you%26#39;ll get in this town, with some of the similar atmosphere.
NO Bar in Little 5 Points should be missed, so I hope you guys can do all of it! The Euclid Avenue Yacht Club is a rare place to find Busch in a can and boiled peanuts! Don%26#39;t mind all the bikes parked outside, the inside is not to be missed.
Little 5 is definitely a neat place to go. As for pizza, in my opinion you can%26#39;t beat Everybody%26#39;s Pizza, which has been around since my mom was a teenager waiting tables. I think there are 2 locations, I would do the one in the Emory area.
The best Pizza in Atlanta, hands down, by far, is Nancy%26#39;s Pizza. It is the same Nancy%26#39;s that started in Chicago. Atlanta is not really a good Pizza town, but you can get good Chicago style Pizza here.
