    Definitely a good time!

    Came with a group of coworkers and we had a blast. The inside bar seemed more relaxed. But the outside bar is a party! Karaoke, volleyball, darts, and pool just to name what we saw going on. Definitely a fun crowd outside too.

    Service is a little slow, but it's not a deal breaker, just order earlier. Prices are great too for a strong drink, so it's worth the wait.

    Overall a very solid dive bar with lots of entertainment.

    I def enjoy coming here for the company, but the drink and food service is horrible. I've been twice, the first time after waiting 20 minutes and never being served, we left. We decided to give it a second chance because we wanted to check out the volleyball court, and it took a while to get a drink, and the volleyball court was reserved so we weren't really allowed to play. Apparently you need to reserve the space, and get a ball.

    Otherwise, the plus side, the drinks were good, and the atmosphere was fun! Lots of open seating that makes you feel like you are outside of Atlanta (could go without the cigarette smoke though).

    Will come back just because it's a unique concept, and I'm convinced there is something I should be doing to get better service.

    Also - 2 drink minimum!

    These ppl are RACIST!! They don't not want ppl of color in their establishment. On numerous occasions I've heard the word n,g,e×r thrown around by the white staff like it was nothing..
    Skips over ppl of color to take the cacasun order first despite coming in later... Just a old hick establishment that has worn it welcome out !!!

    Mmmm, its  hard to rate Hammers. Sometimes the food is good, sometimes not. Service, the same thing. It's a bit grubby but the cocktails are  cheap annnd overpoured! the kitchen is clean. I'm not sure of there's a better bar to get together with your friends straight from the airport and have a great time.

    They do allow smoking, but I've never found it bothersome except late Friday/Saturday nights. I'm more of a lunch person so it's never a problem. If you're a local or have free time at the airport swing by. You'll soon be a member of the family. Bring a buck or two for KENO if you'd like.o I like the crappy place! Lol

    I just received the most abysmal service. I never got her name because she didn't offer it but she was white with a hat on working the 2nd (less busy) area. Not the bartender. She started out saying she could not take our order because she messed up the next tables ticket and had to fix it. That was fine. She only handled us one menu so we shared. After about 10 minutes she said she can take our drink order and we say we are ready for food too she says she can only do one at a time and writes the drinks down on a napkin. She comes back with the wrong drinks and says "well I think it's right you taste it and see what you have" and no, it was not correct. She as obviously new and we were patient. She took the food orders and brought it. She then brings a ticket with 18% gratuity added despite the fact that signs say that that is only for tables above $50 (we were at $39). When we mention this mistake she says "well y'all didn't look like you would tip and I figured it was close enough to $50." I have never in my life not tipped a waitress. I cannot believe she said we "looked like we wouldn't tip." I don't know what made her think that. We were both planning on tipping. We ask for a manager and after another 20 min the manager comes from the other bar and doesn't even apologize, just says she "will fix it." The original waitress comes back and slams the new bills down without a word and walks off. At this point I don't feel comfortable with her having my card info so we walk to the other bar and ask the manager to run it. I have never been treated like that and I will not be back to Hammers. I have come after work many times. Never again.
