Woofs Atlanta

Woofs Atlanta is a gay bar located in the northern half of Atlanta. This bar is almost split in a way where it is half bar and half restaurant. Some love Woofs with all their heart and others find it to be disappointing and lackluster. This bar has a trick up its sleeve with fantastic promotions each day of the week.

No matter what day you find yourself in Atlanta, Woofs frequently has deals going on! Whether it is $5.00 Burger Night or 20% off of all appetizers, Woofs will always have a deal and something going on. Woofs being a sports bar also has many T.V.’s so you can always watch your favorite sport.

They also pride themselves in their welcoming attitude where all members of the LGBTQ+ community can and will have a good time free of hate and judgment. Woofs is also a fairly inexpensive place where you can eat, and have a fun time while not spending too much.

 Although if you are the type who likes to bar hop then Woofs might not be the right place for you. Because of Woof’s northern location, it is the only gay bar in its part of Atlanta. So if you find yourself in north Atlanta why not come over to Woofs and get a drink in this welcoming environment

Bulldogs

10 gay-friendly restaurants in Atlanta

The next bar we will be looking at can be found in the heart of Atlanta. With non-stop hip-hop music this place is where you want to be. With overwhelmingly positive reviews Bulldogs is the place where you want to go. Unlike the aforementioned bar, Bulldogs does not also function as a restaurant, it is strictly a bar. 

That means that there are no reservations and it is first come first serve. As of October 14th of 2021 masks are required for entry. But don’t let that keep you from having a good time. Bulldogs is also one of the most long-standing bars in Atlanta, Georgia seeing many others close down in its lifetime.

It has survived many difficulties in the past and it looks like they are also going to survive the COVID-19 Pandemic. Everyone is welcome at Bulldogs and people from various ethnicities and backgrounds have found a sense of community here. Like every other bar on this list, you will need to be over the age of 21 and show ID.

A very important thing to note is that you are not allowed to bring in bags, purses, or fanny packs to prevent drugs or weapons from entering the building so it’s best to leave those in the hotel and to only bring cash because of their cash-only policy.

The best part of Bulldogs is if you are part of the United States military you drink absolutely free. So after a long day of serving your country why not head to your favorite gay bar in Atlanta, Georgia.

10 gay-friendly restaurants in Atlanta

Mary’s is a bar found in the heart of East Atlanta. Mary’s is considered to be a hole-in-the-wall bar that welcomes everyone. Mary’s is open from Wednesday to Saturday so if you find yourself in east Atlanta from Sunday to Tuesday then you are out of luck.
