Who CARES if its a gimmick???? It’s something new and unique to a state where you can’t even BUY a six-pack on Sunday! It’s a fun idea! Especially in a city boasting 3 pro sports teams. Does anyone think there’s enough bars/eats near the Dome or Philips Arena???? Is the shoe modeling at The Cheetah NOT a gimmick?

And as for the radio station whose self-pimpage you are concerned about, they have an exclusive agreement with the establishment. Why else would they have a permanent, streetside studio built-in? Do you know any radio station that doesn’t exist on self-pimpage????

Since the radio station here in Atlanta that constantly pimps this place is also pointing listeners here, I thougt you should know that the whole keg tap at the table is a huge gimmick, I think there are at most 4 tables in the whole place with these and they only offer 2 beers. One is usually Bud, so you basically have one choice. . . “

I thought Stats was cool when I was still working for the radio station and got free drinks. Now I can’t even get a table with the taps. Don’t worry, I’ll be back. I still can’t believe they gave my timeslot to those weekend guys. I’m not bitter though.

Taps what a great idea. I like the taps idea. We need more taps tables around town. I wonder if they have tap tables in St. Louis. St. Louis is a great beer town. Come to think of it St. Louis is a great baseball town. Stan Musial was a great player for the Cardinals. .332 lifetime average…..

Yo where my dogs at? F’real, Stats is off the chain! I go there and watch ESPN and read SI for show prep on “What’s Up Wednesdays” and “Throw Back Thursdays”. Holla Dogs & Poodles! I’ll get Doug to read the menu to me and when he tells me they want $8 for a salad, I interupt him and yell something! Steven A. Smith knows what I’m talkin’ ’bout! A meal without beer taps is like a day without sunshine, except that on a day without sunshine you can still get drunk.
Roo roo!

I just want to say I think that the taps at Stats are a wonderful addition to the Atlanta Sports Scene. Not only can sports fans enjoy a cold brew, but Atlanta’s Sports Leader 790 The Zone often broadcasts live from Stats. What a combination: Sports, Beer Taps and 790 The Zone!

Oh by the way…even though the food isn’t so good, stop by and see me next Monday when I’ll be there for the Hawks postgame with your boy 3-D Afterdark!

Agree the taps are a gimmick, just like the bar itself. Medicore food, indifferent service and tough to get tables that actually have the aforementioned taps.

Mr. Libby, with all do respect you sound like HRC explaining her visit to Bosnia, “Well, um, I didn’t actually say I invented the concept but…”

They might as well leave a case of Blatz and a case of Miller on the table. Also, it charges by the oz. and that includes a shitload of foam…

Since the radio station here in Atlanta that constantly pimps this place is also pointing listeners here, I thougt you should know that the whole keg tap at the table is a huge gimmick, I think there are at most 4 tables in the whole place with these and they only offer 2 beers. One is usually Bud, so you basically have one choice. Here is a top ten list what else this style over substance dump has to offer:

1. No parking lot. No valet service. $10 to park in an overly-crowded lot across and down the street. We decided against parking on the train tracks behind the restaurant. Call us crazy.
2. We ordered a few appetizers to start, but continued ordering more because we weren’t happy with the prior round.
3. I finally decided to order an entree since I was still hungry (see point #2). I ordered the Blackened Fish Tacos served with pico de gallo and salsa verde — sounds like the healthiest of options, yes? They were served in fried taco shells and the fish was fried, too! Upon being questioned, the manager enlightened us: well, the fish is blackened, and then fried. Puh-lease! Just print the f-word on the menu and you won’t deceive any more patrons.
4. I don’t care that this place is owned by 790 The Zone. In fact, I expected better simply because it is owned by 790 The Zone.
5. My water glass was never refilled. Not once.
6. The warm cookies served with ice cream for dessert tasted like re-heated, stale cookies. They left much to be desired.
7. We had to buss our own table. Literally, we walked dishes to the kitchen because our server clearly wasn’t planning on it.
8. Don’t pretend like you’re the coolest spot in town by insisting a line form outside when it’s not even crowded inside. What a joke.
9. The rancid icing on the burnt cake?
10. A guy relieving himself on the side of the building as we were (happily) leaving.
