Bummer! Today, I took a department head to Bantam with me. The department head was looking for an establishment to cater a function for her team and outside vendors. I had been bragging about the food, particularly the Bantam chicken sandwich and I convinced her to come with me to pick up an order I had placed over the phone. We were going to ask for a catering menu while there. Unfortunately, we were totally ignored. We stood at the bar and werent even acknowledged. There was only one other person at the bar, yet the waitress ignored us. She didnt even say, "Ill be right with you." Nothing. It was as if we werent there at all. We certainly werent welcome. We waited patiently and then, minutes later, a third person walked up to the bar. She waited on him, but still did not acknowledge us. So, after she took care of that patron, I asked if I could please pick up the order Id called in. She then snapped, and said something along the lines of "I was going to get to you all." I told her it would have been nice if she had just acknowledged us. She handed me my order, which had been sitting there the whole time. I paid for my order. She didnt even say thank you... just walked off and talked to someone else. Bantam wont get this big order from my Fortune 500 company or others that may have come thereafter. Bummer. I really liked them before today.

Distinct and accessible hangout Ive found useful before or after a haunting of Atlanta. A homey feel is made possible by a mellow owner and cute, attentive staff (some of whom may or may not have more muscle than you). Calamari is a great share and the hangar steak small plate is almost entree size. Amusing patron banter can range from local gurus gossiping on city politics to in town free spirits arguing over the pronunciation of syrup. Bantam uniquely mixes up its accommodations with your choice of: music filled bar, covered patio with TV, uncovered patio for sunning, and a separate lido deck for smoking and pets just a few fathoms away. Parking is ample for cars and bicycles and the sunset is majestic above and through the surrounding trees.

Weve been there twice now. Their food has been excellent and the service exceeded expectations. Friendly staff, great atmosphere and location in O4W. Weekend brunch with soft shell crab benedict on the menu! Amazing. Bloody Marys served with a delicious piece of lamb bacon. The "Stewnami" is worth the trip alone. Seafood stew with clams, shrimp, salmon, and veggies cooked in a spicy tomato sauce. Excellent. My favorite new bar in the neighborhood.

Bad food and even worse service! I ordered the seafood stew (supposedly an award winner). The award must have been for who can make the coldest soup that tastes the most like pepper. I tried a friends brussel sprouts and they tasted like straight tumeric. Everything I tried was way overseasoned and I usually like a lot of spice. The service was extremely slow. There is no reason for the service to be as slow as it is considering how small the restaurant is.

Such innovative drinks, man. I got a cocktail called the Rickdiculous, which was a Tiki-esque tequila based drink, but with really beautiful herbal liquers. It also had a pineapple-apricot jam that was made by the bartender herself, speaking of which, great staff! I also had a flight of their home-brewed beers. Their Berliner stands out! Theyve got great daily food specials, too. I got the veal brain when I was there and theyd cooked it to perfection.

The food was good but the service was lackluster. We actually saw the gentleman who brought our plates out more than our server. Also, we sat on the porch/patio and one of the employees dog kept coming up and sniffing around. While I have no problems with animals (I grew up on a farm), I think pets should not be at restaurants or if its a dog friendly deck/patio they should not be allowed to wander around no matter how sweet he is.

Great neighborhood bar with an eclectic "unpretentious" attitude. Their burgers and soups are incredible and theres plenty of beer on tab to freshen your hot summer afternoon. Choose from inside or outside seating and if youre a smoker theres also a super nice outdoor section for you (right next to the pub). Conveniently located in the Poncey Highlands neighborhood, is a quick stroll to the belt-line, Ponce City Market and O4W.

Ive been to Bantam Pub for both brunch and dinner and had really good food all around. My favorite is their lamb burger which I crave. The sauce on it is to die for. They even made an omelet out of it which was also fantastic. Their Mongolian Yak drink is fantastic and has Lemon Head candies in it - how can you go wrong with that? And best of all, they have outdoor seating where you can bring you dog.

Not just a pub! But a really good place to eat. The food is top notch which makes me very happy this is in walking distance of my home. Beer selection is always well curated, and the bartenders definitely know their way around their liquor selection too. Dog friendly on the outside, with a good about of outdoor seating makes this a constant destination for when I have to "take the dog for a walk".

Saw the high ratings so thought we would give it a try for brunch before heading over to the 4th Ward Festival. The place was cute. Service was lacking. I know they were busy but our drinks never came. I had to order our drinks from the bar. Our brunch order was incomplete and what did come out was not that great. Really wanted to like it.

Every single item was delicious! Ive been here 3 times and everything (w/ the exception of the OK Cesar salad) is absolutely delicious!!! I recommend the following: 1) To drink, the aviator (if beer) or the yak (like moscow mule, if liquor) 2) For appetizer hummus & chicken wings 3) For entree, veggie burger & the chicken sandwich.

Drinks are great, food is awesome and the service is top notch. Great place to go if you are you not looking for the loud bar scene and want something a little more adult. The outside patio is perfect for those days when the weather is to nice to be inside. I have been here a few times and plan to keep coming back.

Très bel endroit pour terminer la soirée, merveilleusement décoré avec des matériaux disparates et recyclés. Bon service & chouette terrasse

Some great things come in small packages. The food here is great just about everything on the menu you couldnt go wrong. The staff are mostly women all cute last time I was there. You can definitely meet some new people thanks to the size. A cozy neighborhood bar.

The absolute cutest little neighborhood pub. The food is delicious (be sure to try the french fries and the brownie...at least the brownie) and the atmosphere is cozy and classy. The staff is super nice. Definitely check this place out if you have a chance.

Cold food and cold service. Not just one plate, it was all of ours. We had to go to breakfast somewhere else. See our dumpster ham photo that even our British friend would not touch. No acknowledgment or apology from management. Will not come back.
