Burkhart's

If you're looking for the old biker bar at Ansley Square, it closed in 1988 and has since been replaced by Burkhart's. It's not a "strike a pose" bar; this is one of the most unpretentious gay bars in Atlanta. It's a very comfortable place to hang out, have a drink, and play some pool if you like. The boys here are approachable and laid-back, and on Sundays the legendary Armorettes will make you laugh until you can't take it anymore. Other nights you can sing karaoke or even grab a full dinner.

Insider Tip: Burkhart's patio sprawls across the entire back side of the bar. It's also intimate enough to allow you to step back and disappear into the shadows if you want.

My work friends and I went here on a Monday night for a relaxing drink. We went inside and sat at a table, while one of us went to the bar to get our drinks. He was told rather rudely by a smoking bartender that we couldn't get drinks there, we had to sit down and wait for a waiter to come take our order. The waiter (cute but a little slow) came to the table once to take our order, then had to come back 10 minutes later with a pad & pen because he'd forgotten it. The drinks were okay, but our table was under an AC unit that blew on us the whole time, and it smelled like the place had been freshly varnished. We paid and left, thankful to get out of that dark place. We went across the lot to Felix's and had a better time, better drinks, and were treated better by the helpful staff and patrons.

Good food at reasonable prices. Great mix of all ages. Fun Drag... The Easter Sunday Drag Races are a long time Atlanta tradition. Try it you'll like it!

never seen so many overhill drags water down drinks below average bar tenders save your cash go across the way to oscars or flexies why must gay bars think they have to let drags take over

I've seen a lot of drag in my time but the reason I keep coming back to Burkharts are the amazing drag queens! Mary Edith Pitts--you've done a great job of getting the best drag queens without the attitude. Not only do you keep the shows light and fun, you never seem to take yourself too seriously. Yall keep up the great work!
