Cheer on the Atlanta Hawks as they progress into game six tonight at 7 p.m. against the Washington Wizards at one of these bars.
Multiple locations
Televisions on the patios and a prominent location on Peachtree Street (one in Midtown and one in Brookhaven) lay a great backdrop for watching the playoffs. In addition to a full bar, the restaurant has several healthier food options, like blackened mahi-mahi or lemon Greek grilled chicken. Often during the playoffs, the bar becomes extra-generous: think free ticket and gear raffles.
150 Walton Street N.W.

Just on the cusp of Centennial Olympic Park, you’re pretty close to the actual action at Philips Arena (that is, if it’s a home game.) Their wheel de fun lets you spin and win for food and drink prizes, so chance your luck. Bottled beers feature local and domestic breweries, and there are some heftier entrees like New York Strip Steak. Start off with “cheesy banana boats”- fried plantains topped with pimento cheese and bacon.
300 Marietta Street N.W.
404-885-1472
The sports bar distinguishes itself with a tap system at the table, so you can pour your beer yourself, so snag a booth with the table taps early. The bar and dining room features plenty of spots to catch views of the game on surrounding big-screen televisions.
Multiple locations
With multiple locations both in and around the city, this local Atlanta sports bar has walls of televisions, more than 100 beer selections and satisfactory bar fare. In some locations, the restaurant features a HD-projection screens and audio that links through the restaurant’s speakers, so you can actually hear the commentary.
Multiple Locations
This place is likened to Hooters, and you’ll find ample televisions situated around the bar. Happy hour specials from 3 to 6 p.m. discount special items like “TK cheese bites,” “corned beef and cabbage spring rolls” and “sliders.” Corona is the May beer of the month. Tonight (Friday) the Mall of Georgia location features $2 Tecates.
