My birthday is the 12th (tomorrow) and I wanted to watch the NBA Cup game somewhere with a good Hawks crowd.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Edit: Here’s the Hawks Bar network for reference

  1. I’ve started defaulting to Hudson Grille (little five points). Not a crazy atmosphere but there’s people in there and lots of TVs.

  2. I mean if we can’t find one maybe let’s make a bar the spot? Not sure how many of us actually live here but maybe it’s enough to show up in numbers and have a good time!

  3. I honestly dont know of any. A few years ago when the Hawks were in the Conference Finals I went with some friends to 3 Dollar Cafe. They had like 30 TVs, and all were either playing an NFL classic game or showing whatever was on ESPN. We asked to turn it to the Hawks game and it look like 20 minutes for someone to change it.

    I would love to find a bar with the atmosphere you see for other teams. Everyone huddled around the tvs cheering or groaning in unison.

  4. I don’t know if it’s around anymore but when I would visit my brother we would watch Hawks games at a bar called Sidebar in Downtown not far from Centennial Park. The food was good and they had plenty of TVs.

  5. Unfortunately the Hawks do not have a sustained enough culture in Atlanta to draw a crowd for a Tuesday night game in November. You will not find any Hawks centric bars.  There are some bars where you will probably see a handful of hawks people around, those are – 

    STATS (downtown) 
    Dugans (off Ponce) 
    Benchwarmers (Decatur) 
    Sport and Social (the Battery) 

    And some others.  Personally, I like Midway Pub in EAV.  Never tried to watch the Hawks there, though.
