Before heading to Tavern 99 last month for the first time, I knew friends who frequented the bar in Buckhead who said it’s a great spot for watching college and NFL games. Located right on the curve of East Andrews, it could be easy to dismiss as just another Buckhead sports bar, but it’s hiding a secret - Executive Chef Darrell Rice!

Sure Tavern 99 still has all the bells and whistles of a fun sports bar - live music, trivia nights and 2 for 1 apps every night from 5-7pm. Sounds familiar. But what you haven’t seen is their amazing new menu. Props to Chef Rice for flipping expectations on their head when you sit down to eat!

When was the last time you saw Goat Cheese Bruschetta, Tuna Tataki and Barbecue Shrimp over yummy grit cakes on a sports bar menu?

For entrees, you’ll have a wide selection of classic and gourmet inspired burgers, but don’t overlook the Cherry Rubbed Baby Back Ribs. So good!

There’s always something happening, so whether it’s to watch the big game, enjoy a live acoustic performance, or just enjoy a fantastic meal out by one of Atlanta’s talented chefs, be sure to take a second look at Tavern 99!
