Rowdy Tiger
Inspired by Midtown Atlanta’s multiple periods of prohibition during the middle of the 19th century, Rowdy Tiger Whiskey Bar & Kitchen channels the city’s unruly past, which included local speakeasies known as ‘blind tigers.’ In celebration of whiskey, legal or otherwise, Rowdy Tiger boasts one the largest selections of scotches, bourbons, and international whiskeys in the city, complemented by a quintessentially American menu, including Southern favorites like Brioche French Toast, Lowcountry Cioppino, Fried Green Tomato Caprese, and Bread Pudding.
Our Atlanta whiskey bar and kitchen commemorates the city’s storied past by raising a glass to an exciting future in our Midtown Atlanta neighborhood.

We had brunch there and everything was delicious. Johnny (our server and the bartender) did an outstanding job.
Great Great Great
This is a hotel restaurant. We went for breakfast. They were out of french toast and fruit. Eggs were literally bad, spoiled and unedible. They did comp the other breakfast and drinks which was appreciated.
We ordered an Hamburger for the kids.The hamburger was raw.We sent it back and it came back raw again.The waiter was great though.And the drinks was good.The menu needs more items and need items for children
Our server was very sweet and attentive. We arrived at 6pm on a Saturday and there weren’t many people there until about 7 or so, so it was pretty quiet. My husband had the bourbon flight and and old fashioned. I had a couple of cocktails which were very good, had an ample amount of alcohol but not overly strong. Husband had the rib-eye and sweet potato fries, I had the shrimp and grits. Steak cooked to a nice medium as requested and had great flavor. The charcuterie board was beautifully done and tasty. I’d love to go back when the rooftop is open and they get more bourbons in. Our server advised there were supply issues due to Covid which is to be expected.
Our table of 5 was sat at a larger table that could have sat 8, so it was a little awkward. They also sat us next to a couple when the entire restaurant was empty which was a little bit awkward for a Friday. The food was good and drinks were great, but could have gone to a more exciting place for the price. The waitress was so nice.
If you are looking for a modern speakeasy specializing in whisky, Rowdy Tiger is a spot for you. They have over 100+ different whisky labels and a decent menu. The Atlanta Hot Chicken is my favorite so far.
I cannot recommend this place enough!! SO GOOD!!
My wife and I haven’t been out to a restaurant in nearly a year because of Covid, this was hands down the BEST experience for our first time out!
We walked into the Rowdy Tiger around 545pm and were the only ones there so we sat at the bar. The bartender was quick and kind and walked us through the menu in detail, making perfect recommendations when asked for it. The drinks were quick and delicious. We started with the Bourbon Glazed Wings that were without a doubt the best wings we’ve ever had. After a large party swarmed the bar, we cashed out but ended up coming back for dinner half an hour later. For dinner, we had the Bourbon Short Ribs and the Shrimp and Grits, both dishes were phenomenal! Highly recommend them both!
The restaurant is gorgeous, the two bartenders were so attentive and thoughtful, and the executive chef not only makes some of the best I’ve had in Atlanta but also took the time to come to our table and check on us. This was the best night out we could’ve imagined, thank you!!
Horrible experience. Do not recommend. Food was cold. Bummer.
My mom was in town so I was looking for somewhere to brunch. Brought my boyfriend also. Unfortunately there was no brunch menu, only breakfast. I ordered an omelet with breakfast potatoes as the side, plus a side of toast. Omelette was over cooked. Toast was great. Service was excellent and I may try again for lunch or dinner but probably would choose to go somewhere else for breakfast as it wasn’t very impressive. Super cool spot though! Lovely decor, quiet and excellent service.
I love the low key environment. Mimi provided the greatest service. A good time as usual!
Super disappointing. Our server was nice but super slow to get our cocktails there was no bartender and that drinks were super limited also. The avocado toast was subpar and that's being nice. The bread was just your basic back in the day thin wheat, soggy with smashed avocado similar to what you get in little containers at Trader Joe's. Very disappointing. I can't even remember what we ate but it was just not good.
Amazing brisket and perfectly prepared brunch items. Not only offered a delicious complementary birthday chocolate lava dessert but a birthday discount. Server was excellent and happily fulfilled all requests.

This was our first time going and it was great! The food was so delicious and Johnny was a great server. The ambience was very nice as well. The short ribs were SO tender and delicious.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, Alley! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your meal including the short ribs. We will pass along your feedback and positive comments to our management team. We hope to see you again soon!
We went to have steak at a 5 star rating restaurant on Google, and don't get me wrong, it was really good. Then we came here for steak, which was rated 3 stars on Google, and it was so much better!! One of the best steak!

Great bourbon and whiskey bar. Food for vegetarians and meat lovers alike.
We are thrilled that you enjoyed your friend's birthday gathering. Thank you for recognizing our server. We are delighted that you enjoyed the food quality, service and cocktails. We look forward to the next time. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager
Food was great...menu was getting changed so couldn't try the pork chop. The wings were perfect and the burger cooked to perfection.
We are delighted that you enjoyed the experience and we look forward serving you again as our new menu items are now in place. Thank you for your visit. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager
Our Waiter was everything..Tony had great personality and was right on point with the meal selections. My girls and I had a blast, we will be back and telling our friends what an Awesome Experience. Oh ma d I can’t forget Walter he is one of the best mixologist I’ve come across that can make a mean Cucumber Gimlet!!!
Thank you for recognizing Walter and Tony, as well as your visit. We are so happy that you enjoyed it and truly look forward to your next visit. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager
Brunch menu is EXCELLENT. Our meals were prepared and presented exceptionally. The customer service and pricing was awesome. I will be back
We are thrilled with your excellent visit for brunch. In two weeks we have an updated menu, including brunch which we are sure will appeal even more. We look forward to your next visit and sincerely appreciate this one, as well as your commentary. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager
I made a reservation to collect points etc, but there wasn't a host, or at least a designated server to greet guests, so that was a bit frustrating to enter with confusion. I really like the girl that was behind the bar. Unfortunately I didn't get her name but she was super nice and accommodating and always looked out for me. Our actual server was okay but kinda slow. I don't think that a slow dining room should mean slow service. I cannot recommend this place for a weekday lunch unless its for convenience.
We appreciate your visit and your constructive feedback. We will share your comments with our team as a teachable moment. I am sorry that you did not comp[lately enjoy the experience, but hope we can serve you again in the future. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager
I ordered the molasses wings and fries. Even though this restaurant is fine dining I wanted to try something familiar.. chicken of course. The service was excellent food was prepared to my expectations. Our server was hands on and very friendly. I'd recommend this place for a celebration, date night or just a solo evening with a great vibe.
Your 5-star review is highly appreciated. We appreciate your recommendation. We are truly delighted that you enjoyed the experience. We thank you for stopping by and look forward to the next time. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager (Hotel)
Went for brunch on Sunday. Barely anyone there, thought it was closed at first because there was no hostess. Flagged her down in the back, looked disgusted that she had to get up from her table in the back to seat us. Food was very good but took surprisingly long to get coffee and drinks given that there was only 1 other table of guests present. Disappointing that there was no brunch drink menu as advertised online.
Thank you so very much for your visit and your feedback. I am thrilled you enjoyed Chef Christina's Brunch men and quality of food. I am however very sorry for the rest of your experience. We will use your comments as a teachable moment for our team, as this is not an example of our customary great service and creating wonderful experiences. Thank you again for your feedback. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager (Hotel)
Food was just ok for what you pay. Service also just ok. Valet service the worst. Take Uber or Lyft.
We appreciate your visit and your feedback. We would love to hear more about your experience, so if time allows please feel free to reach out to our Food & Beverage Director Okan Hazar or myself. I am sorry that your visit was not completely satisfactory. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager (Hotel)
Our waitperson was great. The food was great, especially the collard greens and pork belly mac & cheese. Love the speakeasy vibe.
Your recommendation and visit are appreciated. We are delighted that you enjoyed the dining experience, both food quality and service. We look forward to your next trip. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager (Hotel)
The food was excellent, flavorful and presented well. Also, the scotch options were impressive. I will return to try other options on the menu. I had the lentil sloppy joe and collards. There were multiple sides that I wanted to try, next time! Kiara was great too!
Thank you for sharing your positive thoughts on our food quality, the scotch options and our service, in particular Kiara's. We can't wait for you to return back and try our upcoming revised menu starting early March. We truly appreciate your visit and hope to see you soon again. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager (Hotel)
We truly enjoyed our first time dining at Rowdy Tiger. Heard about the restaurant on Trip Advisor. I ordered She Crab soup. It was a generous bowl. A little bit spicy for me but still enjoyed it. also ordered the Bourbon chicken wings which were very flavorful. My husband had the hamburger. Although I didn't try it it looked amazing. The fries were very tasty too.
Our waiter Tony was the best part of the evening. He was attentive, funny and professional. When we go back I will ask for Tony!!!!!!
Thank you so very much for your visit, recommendation and recognition of our team, especially Tony. We cannot thank you enough for your fantastic comments and we look forward seeing you again soon. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager (Hotel)
Rowdy Tiger has a limited menu done really well. Every dish we had was delicious! The service was accommodating and efficient. Was worth the visit.
Thank you for visiting with us. We appreciate your 5-stars and feedback. Our more limited menu was merely over the Valentine's Day Holiday for Friday and Saturday of that week. Our regular more extensive menu is available normally. We look forward to your next visit and hope to see you soon again. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager
Had reservations. Arrived on time. No one greeted us. Had to look out for someone to help us check in. Waited long time for a table even tho there were plenty empty. After a while, got seated. After 25min, still no one come to our table to greet us or even bring us water. We left and had an immediate / great service and wonderful dinner at Ecco just across the street. Save yourself the headache and don’t go to this place.
I am sincerely sorry that we created a headache for your you. I cannot thank you enough for your feedback. Your comment certainly will be reviewed with our team and used as a teachable moment. Please accept my personal apology for making your evening extremely inconvenient, even though it ended well. I would love to speak with you in person, if time allows.

I was looking for a new and good place to take my wife for Valentine's Day, and Rowdy Tiger was it! The food was delicious, and the wait staff was very professional and courteous. The short ribs were succulent, and the mashed potatoes tasted like they were made at home. If you're looking for a good spot to eat in Midtown, check out Rowdy Tiger!
I am thrilled you found us and that you & your wife enjoyed the Valentine's experience. We appreciate your visit and your feedback. The team looks forward seeing you again soon during a return visit. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager
Everything was great except when we arrived there was no hostess at the stand to seat us
Thank you for your visit and your feedback. We appreciate the 4-stars and look forward seeing you again soon. Your comments will be shared with our team. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager (Hotel)
Delicious dinner, friendly staff - loved Necie - great evening! Brussels sprouts are to die for! One friend said the mussels were the best thing on the menu. Short ribs were tender, she crab soup was perfect, and burgers were delish. You can probably skip the deviled eggs. Happy eating!
Thank you for your delightful review, which we will share with the team. We appreciate your business and look forward serving you again in the future. We ae thrilled that you enjoyed the experience and are grateful for the recognition. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager

Sound carries, but Tony our waiter was amazing! Loved his suggestions and energy. Great service.
Thank you for your commentary, recommendation and recognition of Tony. We are thrilled that you enjoyed the experience. We appreciate your visit and look forward to the next time. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager
Management is poor at this restaurant. We were a table of 15 and were given ONE server. The server did everything she could be our food was late and some people never received their dinner at all. It took about 45 minutes to sort out the check. It was a giant disaster. This restaurant may be ok for groups of 2 people but do not bring a large party here. I was also not able to contact the restaurant by phone to let them know of changes in my reservation which is another problem. Food was ok, but expensive.
Thank you for you comments and recent visit. Please accept my apologies for not delivering on your and frankly our expectations. We accommodate groups of your size and bigger very frequently and have a high degree of success with this, so I am very sorry that there were a few teachable moments in your experience. Our Food & Beverage Director Okan Hazar will be in contact to discuss this further. We appreciate your visit. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager
Tasteful dishes, fabulous live music, great ambiance
Our team thanks you for the 5-stars. We appreciate your visit and we are thrilled that you enjoyed the experience overall. We trust to see you soon again. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager
Went here on a Thursday night. The restaurant wasn’t quite half full at its busiest point. The food was tasty, plate presentation was as expected for the price range, portions were very good. The service, although friendly, wasn’t as attentive as it should’ve been, especially given how quiet the night was.
Not all liquors listed on the menu were available. The first two I chose were out of stock. The bartender ended up coming to the table to make sure there wasn’t a strike three. I must add that the bartender graciously poured a full dram (2 oz.) for me when I ordered a taste (1 oz.) due to the stock issues. Having worked in a number of restaurants over the years, that was the right thing to do. It was very much appreciated.
Overall, I’d go back to give the Rowdy Tiger another shot. I really want to like this restaurant.
We really would like you to like our restaurant as well. We sincerely appreciate your precise feedback, which will be shared with the team. Thank you so very much for stopping by and for taking the time to provide your thorough feedback. I am sorry that two items were out of stock and that the service could have been slightly swifter. We look forward serving you again in the future. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager
This is a hotel restaurant. Food was just okay. Pork chop was dry. Soup was cold. Highlights were the mac & cheese (real not cauliflower) and the collards.
Service was slow. Very slow. And timing was off. Server did not ask if anyone wanted a second drink.
I was expecting an amazing Bourbon selection and was disappointed.
Thank you for your review. I am very sorry for your disappointment. We would love to speak to you in person if time allows. Kindly contact either our Director of Food & Beverage Okan Hazar or myself and we would be happy to address your concern and identify the teachable moments. Your feedback is paramount to our success and we would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you in advance. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager
Excellent. From the walk-in to the end of meal. High quality service and food. The valet was icing on the cake.
We are delighted that you enjoyed the overall experience and look forward seeing you back in the future. Thank you for your visit and the 5-stars. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager
Great service. The food was very good except for an element of my wife's dinner. They addressed this immediately. Our waiter was great and made our Sunday evening concert date a real treat.
Thank you for visiting with us prior to your concert date. We appreciate the recognition of the server and quality of food. I am thrilled that the one small opportunity was resolved to your satisfaction in an expedient fashion. We look forward to the next time. Stay well, Martin van der Laan I General Manager
