Ormsby's

A warm, lodgey neighborhood tavern and game room
Word to the wise: Park in the deck behind the White Provisions building. The wooden door to the bar has a scripty 'O' on it.

Tipple of choice: Atlanta's Wild Heaven's Ode to Mercy is a brown ale with citrus hops, coffee flavor, and a creamy finish.
The first thing you'll notice about Ormsby's is the below-ground entrance and the warm, honey-colored wood interior. But the second thing many Atlantans notice is that it's smoke-free, unlike most bars in the city, thus providing another reason for many to stay, and stay they do.

If you can beat the crowds to the bocce court by getting there early, you can sip a craft beer and play ball on the bottom floor. There's also shuffleboard, pool, darts, as well as decent Southern pub food including boiled peanuts and onion rings with dipping sauce. For less of a mob, try weeknights or a weekend afternoon.
