LOUD, SLOW and overpriced

Music is so loud you can’t hear the person next to you as you go hoarse screaming into each others ear. Not surprised to learn it has the same owner as Slutty Vegan(same problem).

I don’t get why the kitchen is so slow. We got buffalo wings that were just Beyond nuggets with sauce. The lemon pepper wings were nearly inedible as if they dusted it with citric acid to make it sour. We told the server and she nodded, “They’re sour aren’t they?”. The cheesesteak egg roll is meat/cheese mush in an egg roll wrap. It’s what I assume catfood would taste like if you mixed in some cheese that you can’t get off your teeth.

We wanted dessert and more drinks. Hard to screw up sugar water and alcohol. But the server was AWOL after she took the order. I paid $80 for 2 meals, 1 appetizer and 2 drinks(1 alcoholic). That included gratuity.

I love the idea of a bar for vegans to hang out at but the loud music makes socializing a pain.

Apparently Happy Cow doesn’t allow 1 star reviews.

Pros: Very attractive waitress? 🤷🏻‍♂️ , Nice aesthetic , Food is edible

Cons: Loud music, Slow service, Expensive mediocre food

Great Lunch at Ponce City Market

When we selected Bar Vegan for our lunch spot, we didn't know its location. We loved that it was all vegan, and we happened to dine after the lunch rush.

Service was prompt and friendly.

Our two choices were buffalo chicken and cheesesteak sandwiches. The cheesesteak sandwich was the clear winner. The buffalo chicken would have been good as an appetizer, but it was OK—not nearly as good as the cheesesteak sandwich.

Pro Tip: You have to pay for parking. We had a ticket on our windshield after lunch.

Pros: all vegan, appetizers and dessert options

Not worth it

Service is incredibly slow. The food is mostly beyond tenders/patties. Save your money and eat at home.

Great concept and good menu, a little pricey

The vibe is awesome and the food is as well. I like that it’s a fully vegan bar, which you don’t see often. The prices are just a bit too high. Other than that it’s a great spot.

Incredible

Tried the elote & the Brussels sprouts (3/5 and 5/5 respectively) Drink choice was an espressotini *chefs kiss* so yummy. Also had hockey playing so it was bf friendly.

Pros: Menu options, HH menu, Location

Service was a little slow, but food was well worth the wait. I’ve been looking for a good vegan street corn and they did not disappoint. Jerk oyster mushrooms were very spicy but I like it hot.

Pros: Food, Taste, Price

Cons: Slow service

Pretty disappointed

I was excited to finally try this spot, it had been on my radar for years. Unfortunately I accidentally came in on open mic night or slam poetry night or something, so I can't speak to the usual ambience, but I didn't have a great experience on that front. There was one poor sweet woman running the bar and also serving the entire floor, so service was slow. My friend and I ordered cocktails. His was cold. Mine was room temperature for some reason. It was a French 75, so I don't think that was intentional. After a lengthy wait, our food came out. He got a sandwich, and I got wings. The flavour of both was fine, nothing special. However my wings were also room temperature, while his sandwich was piping hot. I don't know if I was just unlucky twice or I unknowingly offended someone, but I have no desire to return.

Party vibe

Music was way too
Loud and food took forever but cool spot if you want to have cocktails. We went as a family and it wasn’t it.

Pros: Cocktails

Cons: Too loud, Too long for the order

Fun vibes

Very cool spot. Really good music.
Just one issue- waiter took almost an hour to get one drink. He handed it to me 10 minutes before the bar closed. I had to drink it FAST and then immediately leave.

Such a cute vibe with awesome food

I had the cheesesteak egg rolls and they were absolute fire! My non vegan boyfriend shared them with me and he could not believe they were vegan. I also had the buffalo chicken boneless wings and fries, which were great. For dessert, we had the fried Oreos. I loved the food and can’t wait to go back again!

Pros: All vegan , Delicious food, Extensive menu

Cheezesteak combo

We’ve only had the Cheezesteak combo and it’s not consistent on the seasonings.

It was good just needed more flavor, I didn’t get it with the mushrooms and I think I missed out.

It’s open for a decent time. 

Pros: Good deals on uber , Decent size and good , Parking

Cons: Tots were cold and not crispy enough

Worst pasta of my life

Stay far away from the pasta Alfredo. It consisted of spaghetti swimming in about 3 inches of oil. What a disappointment.

Exceptional food, fun atmosphere

What can I say, this is some of the best vegan food you can get. Had the Chik’N sub and a watermelon/cucumber mocktail. For dessert we had the Boozie Brownie with Hennessy ice cream. Just bonkers good!

Very friendly and fun party atmosphere! You won’t regret it!

Pros: Food quality, Popping taste, Great staff

Good junk food, but expensive

We got the lemon pepper wet wings and the buffalo chicken sandwich. Both tasted good, but it's definitely expensive for a bunch of impossible and beyond meats. I guess that just comes with the neighborhood it's in.

Updated from previous review on 2024-11-07

Cons: Expensive, Most of the menu is impossible or beyond

Delicious!

Great location and amazing food.
I had the French toast and they were honestly the best I've had. My omnivore friend tasted them and said it was better than regular French toast. She also loved her chickn and wanted to return for another meal.

Good for greasy bar food

I was delighted by my meal here. I got the Philly cheesesteak, a few manhattans and the brownie. Everything was delicious but definitely greasy, yummy bar food. Perfect for what I was looking for that night.

Pros: Food, Vibes

Good Bar Food

The space is nice. They play good music and have TVs. The food selection is what you would expect from a pub. Part of the menu is provided by Slutty Vegan which is awesome, burgers and Philly…. They have a full bar and plenty of food to choose from. Everything is vegan.

Pros: Decor, Food, Location

5 stars

I’d consider Bar Vegan one of, if not the best vegan sit down restaurants in Atlanta. Good food and a good time will be had. The Shrimp and grits were incredible, probably the best grits I’ve ever had. I also liked the mocktail I ordered. I’ve been here for dinner also and the cheesesteak and tots are great.

Pros: A lot of different options

Cons: Automatic service charge, Music loud at times

Always good

This is a must stop when I visit ponce city market. I’ve never had to wait too long for a table. And everything is usually really good. I like the bar/vegan atmosphere with the occasional live DJ.

Love all menu items

Never had anything here I don’t like. It’s all paperless, which is fine, but you don’t get any kind of receipt after you pay. I’m not a big fan of the server holding up the bill and waiting for a form of payment, and not having a receipt makes it a little harder to split the bill when you go with friends. Food is great though.

Pros: Great comfort food, Good brunch , Seasonal menu options

Cons: No paper receipt, pay the server directly

NOT a place to bring a family, even during the day

I was so disappointed with our experience at this restaurant. I am a longtime vegan and eating at Bar Vegan was on the top of our to do list in Atlanta. We made it to the restaurant yesterday, Thursday, November 30 at around 5:30pm. First off, the food was good. Flatbreat and Brussels were very good. Cheesesteak and spaghetti were okay. When we first walked in censored heavy rap was playing. This was fine with us. We ate our appetizer and ordered our main dishes and at around 5:50pm the music changed to uncensored heavy rap music. Here we are sitting with our 6, 8, and 11 year old children with f bombs, n words, and explicit sexual lyrics while we are trying to finish our meal. It was AWFUL. I can understand something like this after 8 or 9pm or on a weekend. Absolutely no consideration from the staff. Insult to injury when a 20% gratuity was automatically added to our bill for five people.

I would give them one star if Happy Cow would allow it. I have reached out to their management as well.

Pros: Food

Cons: Inappropriate music, Staff, 20% gratuity automatically added
