Heart warming food. Polite and professional staff. Great beer and cocktail list (margaritas are on point) Always good vibes here. Top neighborhood bar!
My card was “misplaced” i.e. mishandled, given away or stolen.When I got to the restaurant, I indicated I had never been. I was told to place orders at the counter and to give them a card to hold the tab open and continue to order.My husband had wings, salad and a coke.I had a watermelon margarita, guac and empanadas.My kids had rice beans and our proteins.The food, drinks, overall ambiance and service were fine.I sent my husband to close the tab and get a box. He comes out saying that “they can’t find it.”It’s late I have a baby and toddler and I hand them to my husband to try and understand what’s going on because I watched this guy put it under the counter.Apparently my card was placed in a server book “where they keep all the cards.” Yet, mine was missing. My husband also said they tried to give him someone else’s card and if he was a dishonest person he could’ve easily taken it without verification or question.We believe my card was given to someone else as the system for holding cards is super insecure and there isn’t anyway to verify the card actually belongs to the person they are trying to give it to.There was also several times where the people were not near the register at all so really anyone could’ve taken it if they paid attention.The female server also suggested I check my own wallet as if I would have possession of the card with a tab open after they insisted they needed one on file.Very inconvenient as it will take 10 days to replace. The guy who originally handled the card “took care of the food,” which was seemingly the only thing taken care of and the bare minimum in this situation.
Loved the tacos and nachos! Large beer selection and friendly staff. There are some outdoor games and a nice patio too for when the weather is nice.They have a taco happy hour too. Highly recommend as most of their tacos are included and are super inexpensive!
This is the new neighborhood spot! The drinks were awesome. TRY THE BLOODY MARY! They have a good variety of beer on tap. I tried the curry bbq dry rubbed wings. They were so good. The spot is really trendy but the staff seemed to know all of the patrons. It was a really nice spot to watch the game, even though the Falcons lost. Oh, you can bring your dogs and sit on the patio too.
Delicious food, diverse craft beer selection, friendly staff, and super cool motorcycles for sale! Leo did a great job of concepting this! Ask him to tell you about his collection of motorcycles. The 1950s BMW was stunning! Theyve got a fun patio with bocci too. Looking forward to coming back.
Great expierence, watermelon margs were very good and the outdoor seating is nice. Also the most adorable stray cats live right around the corner!
Great beer selection and solid food! Motorcycle themed interior is cool. Right off the beltline and awesome outdoor seating. Bocci ball and fire pit outside as well.
Food was great. Really disappointed with service however. My husband questioned the bill after he noticed the amount on the screen was substantially higher than what the cashier quoted right before we was about to swipe his card. The cashier stated that it was customary to include a 20% gratuity to the bill, mind you we were ordering at a counter and had been self serviced up to this point. The waiter seemed upset by my husband’s request to adjust the tip. Even more disappointed that our food came out completely packaged as if we had ordered to go. We were literally never waited on, no drinks, no “can I get you anything”, nothing. Literally “here you go” with a big brown bag dropped in front of us and our 2 small children. Unfortunately for us, we had already paid for service (albeit not the 20% that’s apparently required)! Surprised even more to see other patrons selecting their gratuity amounts on the checkout screen without any mention of a customary amount. Can’t help but feel we were singled out. It sucks but after this experience I will definitely not be going back.
Im starting to do Airbnb experiences and I am definitely considering you can just go to my stop I definitely recommend this place for the great dive bar for the West End very nice bartender she was amazing as well as the owner he was fantastic as well I enjoyed the nachos in a very tasty and flavorful the beer Hudson was great and the crowd was very mixed with the music see me quite nice
Fresh food, beer selection has a lot of Iowas to choose from and stouts. Theres outdoor seating that allows dogs and the inside is large and spacious. Very reasonable prices and good staff.
Unique setting with a biker bar yet craft beer vibe with a plot twist! Authentic, fresh tacos, plantains and all other surprising and delicious offerings plus tons of beer choices and a projector screen for playing Wii, Jenga, outdoor area for pong etc.. what more could you need?! It just seems to pop up out of nowhere on the west end! What a gem to find we’ll definitely be back soon!
This is a gem on the West side! Great chill place with nice staff, cheap food and drinks but a clean, laid back vibe. The patio is awesome with some games as well.Great spot during the pandemic with safe outdoor seating. The lemon pepper wings are fantastic!
I arrived about 2.5 hours before they closed 6-12-18. The place was not busy (see picture) .. after waiting in my party of 4 for over 1.5 hours our food never arrived.. we were told that the kitchen temporarily closed, but see picture kitchen was operating.. we asked for manager (see picture) .. he said there were only 2 ppl in kitchen.. all we had was chips.. this was a bad stop .. they were not prepared for a party of 4... Also drinks .. just 4 drinks took 30 mins.. I am not exaggerating .. see pictures as proof..
Been going to Lean since they opened. The food is great and I love the service, but my favorite part is the atmosphere. It feels like family at Lean, and that’s why I will keep coming.
I gather here on Thursday nights for pick-up soccer and good drinks/food afterwards. There is plenty of selection of drinks, and every single item of food is delicious, from the jack fruit nachos to the burgers. The owner is a jovial man and the servers and bartenders are cool, helpful people. The outdoor seating is a few wooden picnic benches with fans to keep you cool. I believe this is a worthwhile place to visit in the West End. Full disclosure though, this has become my regular weekly spot and Im emotionally invested in it.
Chill place in West End! I had the Best End Salad, and it was one of the most interesting and tasty salads Ive ever eaten. They have indoor seating as well as a patio. They also have a bocce court. Perfect post-game spot after getting through the headache of Mercedes-Benz traffic.
The staff was really attentive, polite, and helpful. The food was delicious. I got the theee tacos with black beans and rice combo. Best black beans and rice Ive had, but I wasnt a big fan of the philly cheesesteak taco. They do have a nice happy hour taco and beer menu though. The guacamole was a 7/10 for me, especially with the price though. The decor was nice as well. I plan to return.
1st restaurant in West End! Great spot, cool vibe and good food! Simple menu done well. Cheese steak taco was DELISH.
Great selection of tacos. The fish sandwich is tasty and served with well seasoned waffle fries. Wonderful selection of local beers.
Clean, laid back, nice patio, good food and service was good. What else can you ask for?
The atmosphere is groovy. The food is groovier. The drinks are grooviest lol...always a great time here at this establishment!
Delicious food and atmosphere complete with a dog friendly outdoor patio a stones throw away from the West End beltline. Any given night you are bound to bump into a number of locals ready to dine on tacos or my favorite Chorizo waffle fries or just having tasty beverages. A great & unique local business that brings life to West End area.
Great fish sandwiches and fish and chip cross cut fries.
The chicken tacos were really good, especially the rice and beans.
Cocktails are must to try. Large local beer collection. Fresh and good variety food.
The wings here are kinda bland. But the rings are great. love the chill vibes and outside patio.
This place is real chill, the staff is friendly. Good drinks and some of the best bar food Ive had.
Just to clarify: they don’t actually serve lean like the name implies, but the food was good.
Nice place with great tacos and a very impressive beer selection.
Awesome service and amazing food. The soy chirizo taco was my favorite. The yucca fries were a hit. We got 3 desserts because we couldnt choose and they were all amazing. A definite recommend. It was so comfortable we sat outside until after close just chatting and enjoying the setup. Great place.
I love this place. Great beer selection, great food, especially the tacos, and friendly staff. Plenty of room for larger groups, but without that big barn feel. Great patio too when its not too hot. A really positive addition to the nearby neighborhoods.
I checked them out for a quick cocktail and they were very knowledgeable about premium Liquors and their service was great as well. I have to put it in my itinerary do a double take so I can give a full-scale review
Slow service at the bar but good selection of beersNice renovation of an old Atlanta west end building.Regentrification at its finest
My favorite local neighborhood bar! Local neighbors regularly hang out here. Beer/drink selections are great, and the food is really good - if you like tacos/tapas/streetfood with a Latin-inspired flare, look no further! Sunday brunch is a great deal here, too!
I like it here. I visited a few weeks ago with a friend. The food was decently priced. I loved the pitcher of beer we got but I honestly don’t remember what it was. Our waiter was nice and the environment was very casual. There were families and mixed crowd. We sat outside. THE MUSIC CHOICE WAS PHENOMENAL! It was like we weren’t in America. They were playing Benjamin Damage & Doc Daneeka and all music like that. I was living!!!!!
Great food, great service, covid safe environment is above average even in the later evening hours when people get more loose, masks are still required. Had a DJ was making my friend dance consistently the whole time we were there!
Great service. Tasty beers and tacos. A great neighborhood place, so glad that it opened!
Pretty good selection of beer, yummy food!
I live in the neighborhood & enjoy coming here every once in a while for some good tacos. The best one Ive had was the special pizza taco they had one night. Im hoping it makes it on the menu one day. My only complaint is that Ive had to wait at my table for at least 10 mins on a couple occasions before being recognized by a server. Overall, its a nice place to hang out & watch sports or play one of the games they have available.
Such an amazing place to get a local drink, and check out some awesome european motorcycles at the same time. The food there is great and it has a great atmosphere, especially when it lights up the patio at night. The owner is really cool and will talk motorcycles with you when he isnt busy help run the restaurant. Has bike only parking next to the building, and parking on the street in between the park and it. Cannot wait to go back for another brew.
The location is awesome right off the west side beltline. It’s a cool place the food is pretty good however the menu is a little small not a lot of choices. The drinks are strong and delicious. The only draw back in my opinion is the wait staff they are really slow and not very attentive I attribute this to growing pains this a fairly new spot hopefully it will get better with time. Parking can be a bit of kerfuffle on a business night. Did I mention the drinks are strong 😃😃
First time visiting and the beer selection was locally fantastic! Learned about a few new breweries in the process. Great place to chit the chat with friends and have some solid food to munch on. I recommend the cauliflower and spicy chicken tacos (if youre a big fan of heat, its a medium-hot). Great service with a good knowledge of the beers.
Great atmosphere with great tacos. My favorite thing on the menu are the yuca fries. There is plenty of outdoor seating and it is dog friendly. The only recommendation would be to place a limit on how many tacos a person can order as one person ordered 40 tacos to eat at the bar and this caused a huge delay in us getting our food.
When I asked folks about the food here, the responses have invariably been lukewarm. I was pleasantly surprised with how tasty the tacos (grouper, shrimp & especially the cauliflower) were...they came with rice & blackbeans too. Cool, laid back atmosphere.
Best GD shrimp tacos Ive ever had! Husband had meat tacos and his were excellent also.Really good selection of beersand platanos maduros are so, so good.Go and you will not be disappointed.
The food is awesome - my girlfriend is from Venezuela and says that the yucca fries at lean draft house are the closest thing to a democratically elected government that she has ever known. My friend had the Philly cheese steak taco, the shrimp taco and one other. He rather enjoyed them. Note that the pitchers of beer are FAR cheaper than buying beers individually. Definitely go if you are in the neighborhood, kind of pricey but totally worth it
Always great, that Nashville taco and yucca fries are my favorite! Also that mushroom taco is off the hook too!
Great if I could give 6 stars I would. Great place to hang with a group of friends great service. Food takes a while but is worth the wait. Some of the best yucca Ive had.
Its conveniently located along the Atlanta Beltline Westside Trail, right across from Gordon White Park. The restaurant/bar facility is very nice, and bigger than I expected. Theres a good selection of beer, and a pleasing variety of tasty taco offerings, among other things. My mild disappointment stems from the value proposition. The tacos, priced nicely enough at four bucks apiece, are very small. I understand theres a weekly special on Tuesdays, with yet-tinier versions of the tacos - for two bucks each. Im likely to see if theres better value to be found in other parts of the food menu, next time.
I love this neighborhood restaurant. The tacos are delicious (especially the shrimp, because they know how to cook shrimp here) and the fishwich is absolutely delicious. Its my favorite. 😅 There is ample bike parking (two racks), bocce court, and outdoor seating with fans. Great servers, service, and ambience. The only complaint is that they use disposable glasses for drinks.
Great beer selection, tasty food, and friendly staff. And yes, covered outdoor seating.
I love Lean Draft House! Next time you’re cruising on the BeltLine make sure you stop by and if you LOVE mezcal you must order a delicious Salt Flat.
Super tasty grouper taco, and the cheesy fries bowl is amazing. This place is already great and perfectly positioned to take advantage of the west side belt line once its connected to the rest of Atlanta!The vintage bikes are a ton of fun to look at too.
Good food and good service in a welcoming setting.
Cool place to eat. This is a place that has a mixed identity. Is it a Mexican restaurant or a draft house? Cool motorcycles parked inside and helmets adorn the walls. One would expect from a draft house that there would be a selection of wings or some sort of burger. If you are looking for that you will be disappointed. However, if you want the best tacos this side of Atlanta this is your place! My husband had fish tacos and I had a cauliflower taco hold the tortilla. They placed my cauliflower mixture inside a small bowl because I was holding the bread. Very thoughtful! What I ate out of that bowl was a slice of heaven. The beer selection is great. Rivals the selection of Taco MacI am sorry I have no photos because we ate so fast I forgot to take pics. DELICIOUS.
What? Motorcycles in the bar? Awesome. Pair that with tacos and beer and owner Leo has got a good thing going. The beers are all locally brewed (where did he get that idea?) and, really, who doesnt like tacos? A great stop along the Westside belt line with great outdoor patio.
Our waitress was incredible. Food was great. Yucca fries, fried brussel sprouts are a must. The Nashville Hot chicken is not joking. Place was friendly. Visited from out of town and seeing all the furbabies made me smile and realize how much I mossed my own.
Today was my first visit because I am new to the neighborhood. However, I will say that I will definitely return. My friend and I were immediately greeted upon entrance. Our bartender was friendly with great recommendations for new customers. Service was prompt and food was delicious.
My favorite hang out spot in this area! Great view of the Beltline and great patio games.
Went there last night with friends for Taco Tuesday and was really excited about checking out a new spot along the belt line. The menu looked pretty decent but the service was TERRIBLE!!! Took 30 minutes to get water, drinks and put our food order in. After more than an hour, our food never came and when we asked one of the servers about it, she said in a nasty tone Theres only one person back there for all these people. The place wasnt even crowded at all. Manager was very unhelpful and did nothing to try and accommodate us for waiting so long. So I say So Long to Lean Draft House, never to return again.
Ehhh. Great location at beltline. Walked in right as brunch was finished. A good group of folks around and all were gone in a flash. Sat down, took a few to get served. Never been here before so took the time to review the lunch menu. Ordered the queso dip and chips to start. Chips were stale. Dip was good.Meal arrived and needed silverware, had to get from bar because server not found.I had the Nashville taco and it was the best if the 3. The steak taco was very very chewy. The curry cauliflower taco was ok, lacked flavor.Had to ask for refill on water.Great to see pups in the patio. I have tried, no real reason to go again. Hope your experience will be better......
Excellent service! We were greeted upon entry and offered with seating at the bar or at a table. We selected the bar and our bartender was very knowledgeable about the cocktails and beers. Will recommend and will visit again with a few more friends.
My coworkers and I ate here after a team building event. We arrived 10-15 mins after they opened. The restaurant itself is not equipped to seat large parties, but since it was empty we were able to sit at the bar. After about an hour, we headed outdoors to enjoy their nice patio and play cornhole. All of their mixed drinks were delicious and they had a nice assortment of beers. Even though I am a vegetarian, I had three different taco options. I’d definitely recommend the cauliflower and avocado taco! A few of my colleagues ordered the nachos and enjoyed them. Another two ordered the pull pork sandwich-one like it, the other didn’t. Had a bite of their fries and those were nicely seasoned. I would definitely recommend trying LDH out and hope to be back soon!
We met some friends from Atlanta Cycling Festival there and had some yuca fries, Nashville chicken tacos, and curry cauliflower tacos. I cant speak to whether the chicken tacos were good or not since I dont eat meat, but the curry cauliflower tacos were very bland. The yuca fries were pretty awesome! I would get them again for sure! Really nice staff who work there, and they allow pets. Be careful if your dog does not like cats, because there are some neighborhood cats that hang out. The atmosphere is cool, and they have ping pong.
Came here tonight and I rarely ever leave reviews for a place, but hopefully the owner see this and can adjust accordingly. I live in the area and would like to see this place thrive. Its $2 taco night so it gave my fiance and I a reason to cheat on our diets... but the tacos never came. We ordered food and I ordered a beer. Twenty minutes later I realized I still lack a beer and our appetizer showed up so I asked if I can still get that beer. Finally got it and it was luke warm. Anyways our waiter disappeared for about 40 minutes and we finally waived him down to ask about our tacos. Many familys who showed up after us including one that was 45 minutes after us already got their dinner. the waiter responded in a very defensive manner saying they are gonna make it faster. This didnt happen. Twenty minutes later we decided to leave and all we were told was Sorry its been a crazy day.. On a brighter note go try out Box Car! its absolutely delicious
They have good food (tacos and sandwiches), beer from local breweries and an amazing staff. You can sit inside or outside and theres parking in front and behind the building. Even when its busy the staff are all quick to get you seated, waited on and served.They have cool board games to play inside and outdoor games (corn hole) as well. Definitely going to keep coming back.
Great place, great atmosphere, great food. Im holding back 1 star b/c a) they were out of some things we wanted, and b) its a place that serves Mexican style food, yet the server wanted to correct my pronunciation of molé. Its a Mexican sauce, not a small burrowing mammal.
I like Lean Draft House and am glad they’re in the neighborhood because they offer late night dining, unlike most places around here. I love that they have Trivia on Thursday nights! Their food is good, and I’ve had good luck with service since they’ve found their rhythm.I recommend the Best End Salad
Love this spot for Tacos in SW Atlanta! Yuca fries are amazing, Nashville hot chicken taco is just the right amount of hot, and the mushrooms taco is a fantastic vegetarian option.Fantastic service and great deals.Bonus: if you like bikes this place has some cool ones for sale in the back!
I had the sopes and they were okay. They were kind of dry. The margarita was great and I loved our server. The ambiance on the outdoor patio cant be beat. I would return to drink and just have chips or the yuca fries. Not sure that I would return for dinner.
My neighborhood place. The beer selection is ridiculously IPA heavy, but thats me reaching to find a problem with it... The beer and ciders are on point, and the food is fast and quite good. The help and the beer menu make the location what it is. Friendly and fast service, and diverse, while the location is lovely, open and easy to enjoy.
The West End is in need of a cool unique place to eat, drink and hangout, this place hits the mark. The food is good with a nice simple menu, the beer selection is excellent, and the motorcycles are exquisite. Very cool place, I plan to keep coming back!
The beer selection is awesome! The food could use more flavor. I ordered the nachos and they needed more meat other than that its nice to have a cool hangout on the west side.
The space is cool, I enjoy the motorcycle theme, but the food is just alright and a little too expensive. Also, wait times tend to be long. Last night, admittedly a busy weekday, we waited over an hour for just tacos!
I rather go back during the summer. They left the door open the whole time so it was cold 🥶🥶🥶. The margaritas are pretty strong and they give good portions of food.
Outstanding place for a beer, bocce, and dog friendly patio. The inside is decorated with gorgeous vintage bikes and it also has plenty of space to relax. It would get 5 stars but the food outside of the cheesy chorizo fries leaves you wanting.
So I got the Chicarrones with Valentina and the Nashville hot sauce tacos and they were bomb 💣 This place has a really good vibe too, the motorcycle collection they have as decor is really neat and different. Theres corn hole and a cool patio, seems dog friendly, there were water bowls (but no dogs around) The ONLY reason Im giving it 4 stars is because the bar tender at the time wasnt friendly/welcoming at all.
Great food and drinks! Im not a fan of sports-y bars usually but this place is much cooler than most sports bars. Check out all the cool motorcycle memorabilia, play some bocce ball or hang out on the front patio and listen to live music (sans TVs!)
The atmosphere has all the right things, but the service is completely incompetent and the food marginal. If you just want to hang out and talk, then that works. Just dont expect your drink, food, or even napkins at the same time. But hey, even No Mas is still in business. My fav was, let me take some of these glasses, but only took one. God bless.
Ive never had service as terrible as this in my entire life... no exaggeration. Zero apologies, rude reaction when mentioning we ordered over an hour ago. It was almost funny if we hadnt been starving and left after an hour and a half never having gotten our food. I had high hopes for this place and was so excited when we arrived... that quickly ended and sadly will never go back :(Hoping the wait staff and kitchen operations get it together before this place is out of business.
Not even one star....service was the WORST Ive ever experienced anywhere!! Ive had much better service at Taco Bell. We arrived on a Tuesday, 6.12.18 at 8:15pm, it was not very busy but there were other customers there (go figure). Literally every employee we interacted with acted extremely bothered & burdened by the fact that they were there, consistently commenting back to us that they were SO swamped and busy! No server or the manager ever apologized for our 30 minute wait for a beer or 1.5 hour wait for a few tacos, they did however have more excuses then we could even count. Including telling us the kitchen was temporarily closed an hour AFTER we had ordered....& not proactively, then went on to say that it was closed but the food was eventually still coming!?!? Huh? When we asked to speak to the manager after 2 hours of him never even acknowledging us (or other customers) he walked past our table 3 times but would not even approach us. It wasnt until we were walking out the door that I had to approach him...& guess what? he had more excuses, no apology and still charged us for everything we had.Ive worked in hospitality for 18 years & have never posted a bad review, as I fully understand some operational challenges come up from time to time. But Lean Draft House definitely needs to invest in a lot of training or a new team....they were collectively a kiss of death & will kill your business in a city when there are plenty of great restaurant options.
Our table waited an hour and 20 minutes for our food. 80 minutes. I ordered the Torta De Pollo, which turned out not to be a torta at all it was just shredded chicken and pico on a normal hamburger bun. I was disappointed about that, you cant call that a torta. Our server was great though and the team trivia was fun.
Good food, great beer selection, servers are very friendly. The owner is in tune with the restaurant; he listens to customers and makes changes to enhance experience. I love hanging out there.
While I like having some decent spots on the south side, this one left me unimpressed. The hot chicken taco was neither hot (temperature or spice wise) and there was very little chicken to speak of. The fried fish was ok.The chorizo fries were pretty good, but nothing really knocked my socks off.
This is an $8 guacamole...robberyUPDATE: Twice now I’ve gotten sick after eating here. I think I’ve learned my lesson. Very skeptical of 1) the quality of their meat and/or 2) how well they are cooking it.——This is a first impression. If Im going to eat somewhere more than once the spot has to have at least one of two things: cheap beer or good food.Tonight I only tried the tacos. But my first impression is OK. I got 4 different tacos between me and my wife and each taco is basically a piece of meat, sauce, and some Cole slaw (I think they dropped some Pico de gallo in there by accident—like two pieces of diced tomato). Not what I would expect for a $4 taco. If I didnt eat coleslaw Id have a piece of meat and some sauce in a taco shell. 😐Gotta give it 3 stars for now. Good but not great.
A cool place. Service can be a bit inconsistent at times but usually ends up on the side of good. The menu is limited but what is on it is good. Lots of local beer, probably one of the better selection of GA beer in town.
Great atmosphere and food! Live music was played by a neighborhood artist Gabe Long. I ate the chicken sandwich and it was delicious, Ill rank it right behind the Popeyes sandwiches. I will be back again!
Overall: Im in love with the atmosphere but the prices are a tad high, and one of the appetizers we had needed some work. Outdoor seating is dog friendly and they carry only local breweries which I was thrilled to see. The beers however are about $1-$2 above what id expect. Most beers are at $7+, which seems reasonable for the eastside Beltline, but given that this place is starting out, im torn about pricing it that high. Tropicalia here was $7.50, for comparison, Ladybird in a incredibly prime eastside location carries it at $7.00. None of the beers at Ladybird go above $7, but plenty of the offerings here go up to $10-$11 (partly due to goblet vs pint sizes, but id cut that and just offer pints or more explicitly state if a goblet is 16oz vs 12oz so the price is more justified, despite that it still felt rather steep).I think dropping the prices a little will bring in more people who wish to enjoy the Westside Beltline and avoid the premium costs of the Eastside Beltline but right now, its more expensive to come here.As for the appetizers, we ordered the yuca fries and the queso (I had a dinner later so I didnt eat my way through the taco menu but ill be back to check it out). The yuca fries were a bit over seasoned (but delightfully cooked) and we got 6 yuca fries for $5, so that felt rather underwhelming. The queso however was on point and had good spicy kick to it. The staff (which was excellent all throughout) offered to bring us more chips when we ate our way through them, so kudos for that.
Still one of the best places on the Westside for great drinks and awesome food. The super empanadas are the best.
Decent atmosphere, GREAT tacos, good draught and liquor section. Dry rub wings were interesting and unique. Great spice blend. Lean into it - could use more flavor but very good as is.I do have some notes: dont put your f***ing bus cart near tables and slam dishes into it. Nobody wants to hear that all night.Buffalo hot wings taste like Franks brand store bought sauce. Which isnt terrible, I mean, I keep some around at home, but I expect more from a self proclaimed gastropub.Great service and staff hustling hard when hit with an unexpected rush.Need 2 things most of all: more restrooms but also more places like this on the burdgeoning west side.
The service was very consistent and the food was delicious - they even have some things for vegans I really enjoyed the shrimp taco and the Yuca fries. This is a great place to hang out and watch a game because there are quite a few televisions, its just a really cool eclectic looking spot
We went late for tacos and beer. Its such a great spot right off the Belt line in Rearview.
The food is great and I had great service. I love the beer selection. I ordered the nachos, which are very good. But I have to say that the shrimp tacos are by far my favorite.
Great Motorcycle themed taco bar just off the Beltline next to Dunkin Donuts. We like driving or biking over for dinner, cocktails, or apps (We like the chorizo cheesy fries & nachos the most). Family friendly as well.
Lean Draft House is everything a Beltline community needs and a great addition to the West End. Cold local beer, cool cocktails and full bar, boccie ball court, outdoor seating, good music, great food, and Atlanta United Soccer on TV set this place up for success! Sporting exclusively local/regional beers on draft (Wild Heaven Watermelon Emergency Drinking Beer, anyone?), they know that community is key and it shows. Tacos are unique and delicious. Service is exceptionally friendly. Theyre new, so working out very minor issues, but getting the big stuff right and they are working hard on the little things! Leo and the whole team are doing a great job and handling the nightly rush very well. This is going to be one of the standout places on the Westside Beltline. Ive been there 3 nights in a row and each time Ive had a great time. Come check it out yourself!
With 20 rotating taps. A great staff, and excellent chefs who know how to season food nice and spicy like your abuela. This is an excellent place to visit for tacos and beer.
Tacos were good so 2 stars for that.Literally the worst service I have ever received at any restaurant in my life.Half empty restaurant at 8pm on a Friday night - no excuses for 15+ minutes to bring a cup, +15 minutes to bring water for the cup, +45 minutes to get 2 tacos, +1.5 hours to get the cheese dip that I ordered with my water when I first stepped in (which came with the check). That was just me, not including the issues with the rest of the table.Waiter said it wasnt their responsibility if food wasnt delivered because they had done their duty of entering into their computer system. Well who is then?I left this restaurant still hungry because the service was so bad I could not order the food I wanted. Complete failure, loss of money on their part.
The tacos were literally to die for. No Im seriously I would homicide a distant relative for that Nashville Hot Chicken taco. The beer for freely like a tug boat down the night Mississippi River. The atmosphere was like a hip southern party minus the slavery. The music was super duper dope. Like a great warrior once said, Ill be back. Do yourself a favor and come with me if you want to live... the good life! See what I did there???
Cute little spot along the westside beltline. They have nice picnic tables in the sun that are outside and socially distanced. Staff were very good about following their Covid rules.
My first time there, and it was the worst, the pork taco were dry even with the condiments, the cheesesteak had no flavor and OMG THE chicken taco was, I dont even have words for this on. I also had the sammie was what more can I say. The server was great even though she never gave her name she was wonderful, she was also the hostess.
Finally made it here for the first time after a moto ride. Great selection of tacos - reasonably priced, unique flavors, vegetarian options, and the chorizo fries... OMG. Firepit outside to warm up next to, and a collection of sweet bikes inside to drool over. Looking forward to going back soon!
Great local bar serving tasty food. Tacos can be ordered individually which we liked and they serve a good margarita. If you are in the West end drop in and check it out
Being born and raised in Atlanta, this is the hot spot this year! I love their tacos and their cocktails couldnt be more spot on. Bring your dogs, kids, or just come for a quick cocktail or dinner. This place has it all.
Great, local, craft beer selection, and darn good tapas! It can get a little noisy inside, but theres a great sense of community here, as many guests love in the neighborhood. Its also right on the Atlanta BeltLine so expect traffic here to increase in the fall!
Has potential as the neighborhood transitions. Good draft selection, atmosphere and service. The only bad part was the food...So I tried 3 different tacos, shrimp, blackened grouper and the Nashville hot as well as The habanero Diablo wings and Yuca fries.All 3 tacos were pretty terrible and other then the taste of hot sauce on the Nashville I couldnt tell them apart.The blackened grouper tasted like someone chewed what little grouper was on there first before adding it to my taco, no blackened seasonings at all. And all 3 tacos were skimpy on the protein, just mostly slaw.The habanero Diablo wings taste like salt, I had to add hot sauce to them... No habanero flavor at all. Unfortunately the best part of the meal was the Yuca fries.The menu or the chef definitely need some help or I dont know maybe allow ubereats to deliver there. But overall Ill be back for at least another beer.
I really want to like LDH, as its a cool atmosphere to hang out and easy to bike to on the beltline. However, I usually dont like waiting 30 minutes for a beer and over an hour for one appetizer. Their service is unapologetically bad. The first few times I went, I attributed it to working out a few kinks... But they just celebrated their one year anniversary and its as bad as always. As you can see from other reviews, its become their reputation in the neighborhood. All of my friends (who would probably be locals here) go down the street to MNG instead. Great location, but I cant imagine theyll last.
The drinks are incredible, the food is phenomenal and the service is best of all. Its great when you get to speak with the owner. His love of his establishment is contagious!
Best place to get fried brussel sprouts and yuca fries...love love love!
This was a fun hipster like spot. They allowed dogs outside and games which was cute. I ordered a cheesesteak and was surprised it came in a hamburger bun and not as hero, but it was rich and flavorful nonetheless
Girlfriend and I went for opening day. For drinks they have you covered, I am a local beer advocate and they had an amazing selection in tap.For food:I ordered the yuca fries, fish taco, and carnitas. Girlfriend ordered the chicken and fish taco.Yuca fries and carnitas were amazing, so good we ordered another double order of carnitas.Great place and great atmosphere!
This place is the local’s secret. Amazing staff, drinks, and food. Atmosphere is like a small town/local bar spot. Sports, motorcycles and lots of seating.
First time here. Arrived, loved the atmosphere and vibe. We sat outside, great patio. Service was slow, but we got through it. I didnt like my first choice of taco, manager came to our table to make sure we got what we wanted, even told us about drinks not listed on menu. Wish our waiter had told us about those before we ordered. Never mentioned even after I questioned him extensively about the drink choices.The 3 stars is because as we sat there I noticed the next table over, the man had his dog sitting on the table feeding him. On the table where people eat their food!!! NO!!!NO ONE ASKED HIM TO TAKE HIM DOWN! I dont like that, at all. Mentoined it to manager on way iut. He stated there was nithing he could do about it. Welk, I think Ill see what the Health Department thinks about that!! Im sure they can do something about it. Fleas on your plate of food, imagine that!
Great beer selection and good cocktails. Food is fantastic too! Great place to get tacos for vegan/vegetarian and meat eaters
I stopped by Lean Draft House for lunch after doing some work on the Westside Beltline trail with Trees Atlanta. I got the Lean Fish Sandwich and it was incredible! The bun was fresh and delicious, and the fish came in several little pieces instead of a whole filet, which confused me at first, but it actually made the sandwich taste way better. I definitely plan to be back!
Great neighborhod establishment..Pretty decent food options but could use mpre options but prices are very reasonable . Nice atmosphere and friedly staff.Owner Leo was really noce in helping arrange a weekly meetup for a group Im in.Great addition to a neighborhood longong for decent options to dine.Also has great outdoor games as well
Fantastic Atlanta gastro pub, off the beaten path
Lean Draft house is a fantastic addition to the West End scene. It has over 20 local beers on tap and great tacos in an unpretentious atmosphere. Its location directly on the Atlanta BeltLine is also a plus, as is the ability to watch the sunset over Gordon White Park.
Servers are fantastic, and the beer selection is well curated. Motorcycles and helmets make awesome decor, especially if you’re riders, like my wife and I are.
This is a good place to hang out because of the seating in front of the park. The tacos are great, as the yuca fries. I wish they had drink/appetizer specials.
I’ve been here twice. BOTH times we had the same server and the service was garbage. I think this is the first review I’ve ever written actually. Don’t get me wrong the food is amazing and I’m always impressed with that. That is if they ever get it out to you. I know they are working out kinks due to it being relatively new. They really need better wait staff though.
Great food cool vibe!
Great place with good beer and appetizers. I went after a bike ride along the Westside Trail. A fantastic way to end a ride. Will def go back to try the tacos.
Best $2 Taco Tuesday special in the West End theyve got a great and spacious bar an amazing dog-friendly patio and really cool motorcycle and bike rider paraphernalia the drinks are great and the variety of Taco options always makes for an interesting dining choice
Amazing! The bartender was well known about liquors!
A sit-down bar/restaurant is what West End & Westview have been asking for. Lean specializes in tacos, craft beer, and European vintage motorcycles. Unique spin. Friendly staff. The yucca fries and street corn (elotes/esquites) are delicious.
Emily is the best waitress you will find - service was exceptional. Great food and good range of craft beers. Highly recommended.
Great atmosphere, loved the motorcycles, a little on the pricey side with drinks but they were exceptionally made and bartenders were engaging and attentive. Also, what a great renovation.
Nice atmosphere, great indoor or outdoor seating! Food is always fresh and hot! Very respectable selection of beers!
Yo those empanadas are dope. Super with $12. Get them in el pastor. That sauce is 😻
They were understaffed and communicative about it, but the food still took twice as long to come out and when I tried to say something I was met with some attitude. Wouldnt recommend
I heard about this place from a nice person at a Trampoline park. I definately have to check this place out. Really excited to try something new!!! Forget the Alaska summer trip, Leans Draft House here we come.....
Food was good, nachos needed a lil more meat, steak tacos were excellant, service a lil slow but not too bad....most important, i felt just as welcome as my dollars. will let you know how second visit goes...
Awesome venue on the up and coming southwest beltline. Food is great and the views are good too. Dont miss the outdoor games available at the side of the venue.
Went here for a double date and had a GREAT time. Our waiter, the beer selection, atomosphere and tacos were ALL amazing.
2 HOURS TO GET OUR FOOD. And it was not very good after it finally arrived. The salad had no flavor. After the long wait the cheese dip had jalapenos in it which we specifically asked not to include when ordering.
Fantastic beer selection, the grouper is good, and they have a fun game day experience. Went for an Atlanta United game and they had a DJ which was cool.
Excellent neighborhood restaurant! I live around the corner from th e restaurant and decided to stop by....Im glad I did! The menu isnt big but the options are great and Emily is a dynamite bartender....
Lean is a great neighborhood bar for the West End. They have mostly draft beer,that run the gambit from pils to stouts hence the name. I also like the motorcycle themed decor.
Great service! Friendly and courteous staff. The tacos were good. The beer selection was better.
Delicious food but my margarita was a bit weak. Id absolutely go back to eat.
Food is expensive yet mediocre. Service is usually good though. They have 2$ tacos during certain hours which is when I typically go.
The tacos are good but a little expensive. Sometimes the food comes out quick and other times it takes 30min for tacos... overall its a cool place to hangout.
I had the fish sandwich and literally it gave me entire life!! The ambiance was great, I took my mentee for a catch-up dinner and it was ideal! Two thumbs up from me!
Great addition to the already bustling restaurant options in West End. Excellent staff, vibe, beer, owner and rad motorcycles. This is my local bar and I love it.
Very cute brewery on the south side! I liked the motor cycle theme! They had great service and affordable pricing.
Great neighborhood spot with great local draft beers. Ive only had the Tacos here and they were great. Coming back tomorrow.
The food was decent and the wait time was great. Im not a beer person so I cant comment on that, staff was pleasant and we had a good time.
Staff is so friendly and welcoming. Great beer, cocktail and food menu! This will definitely be a regular spot for us!
Great outside seating area, large selection of beer and good food, not overpriced. Has a cool peaceful vibe, especially outside.
Tried this spot for the first time and the food was Amazing (steak tacos) omg! Great friendly atmosphere .. Good vibes . great spot to chill have a good beer and good food
Great tacos! Like, the best Ive ever had. Excellent queso. Need more basic beers. A PBR would be nice.
Friendly place with a huge patio right on the Beltline. Friendly service, nice beer selection and great food. Great spot for a casual bite and drinks with friends.
Grat outside atmosphere. The food was great especially the fish and chips
This place is pretty solid. Great selection of beers and the food is pretty tasty as well. Its a good look for the West End.
Place is good, clean and simple, food is great, Ive tried all the tacos and they have been tasty, the only thing is that the bartenders always seem distracted, I always seat at the bar and every time I have to wait to get their attention, even if not that many people
Our favorite go to restaurant on the west side. Right by the beltline, and a nice vibe inside. Try to yucca fries! PS $2 Tacos on Tuesday
Great atmosphere, great tacos, and a good beer selection. Definitely try the octopus and shrimp taco.
Ask if they have the Korean chicken sandwich!
Fun, laid back spot for some good hangover food, draught beer and free games. Right off the West side Beltline. Picnic tables outside and a fairly large bar indoors.
Excellent establishmwnt. Pretty good tacos I mean I definitely go to the Taco Tuesday and Sunday Taco special and they have an excellent Grouper sandwich.
Great beer variety and good food. An amazing outdoor atmosphere.
Came here on a whim.Matt was awesome and helped plan our spontaneous weekend trip. The food was excellent and the service topped it.
Yuca fries are hot and tasty. Only wish I had siracha ketchup to go with. Everything is fresh and delicious.
Awesome place. Good food, Good service, Great beer. You will have a good time relaxing.
Great food, good size portion, great patio area. Overall a to do again experience.
The outside seating is really nice- right next to a park. The cocktails are good and the beer selection is great!
Food is normally always very good, but the service is extremely slow and the waiters are not the most pleasant. They need to learn how to smile and actually work for their tip.
Friendly staff, delicious tacos, good beer selection. Really excellent bike collection as well!
Love the beer selection and the tacos are always great
Chorizo Waffle Fries...... enough said :P
The tacos are great! Loved the atmosphere and wonderful selections of craft beer.
Food was decent, prices are ok, beer selection is pretty good.
Service was slow, Tacos need more fillings. The atmosphere and drinks are nice.
Youve got to experience! Great atmosphere, great drinks, and good food. Definitely will come again.
Steak Empanadas, Chipotle BQQ, and wings are amazing!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Hip, in the up and coming West End, place to grab a cold local craft beer and a taco. They also have old vintage motorcycles on display
Great food and good beer selection. The bartender Emily knew her beer extremely well.
Great food and awesome beer selection. I love their avocado tacos!
I recommend the Old Fashioned, Brussels, Yuca Fries, mushroom taco, shrimp taco, grouper taco. Fun, easy going vibe. This is a go to.
Nice atmosphere, impressive menu. Will be interested to see their willingness to collaborate with the neighborhood and the existing organizations that keep it going.
Food is good. GREAT atmosphere, and trivia on thursdays. Hidden gem in on the west side.
Food and drinks were good! Service was spot on. Definitely will be back. Shout to our server Mya (sp)!
That beer was cold and refreshing! It was the perfect pit stop while bike riding on the beltline..
Really nice outdoor area, good selection. Very bad service. Food took forever and came out cold.
I enjoyed my meal
Finally good beer and tacos in West End!! Outdoor games and a good atmosphere. Solid 5*
Its my Cheers. Everyone should have a place where everybody knows their name. Also the nachos, salads and beers are very good.
OMG the food is amazing! The cheesesteak sammie was on point! Highly highly suggest eating and grabbing a margarita.
Good service, large local beer selection and really enjoyed the tacos.

2022-06-17Great empanada. Not traditional, its made with some kind of puff pastry. Carnita is shredded and chunky and not the usual ground beef style youll find in most mom and pop places, but its good regardless. Chrizo cheese fries is excellent. We also had fish and chips but that was a miss. Pretty good but nothing special. Id rather spend the money and stomach space on more empanada. Opens early when the soccer is on but otherwise pretty late opening.

2022-04-05So glad we stopped by. This is an amazing little bar in West End. Great food, tons of vegan options. Great beer selection! A pretty decent amount of seating both indoor and out. We went for a United game, and they had the match on all the TVs and there were two projectors, were going to start going here for all the away games! Cant wait to go back.

2022-01-15If you remember Brother Moto youll remember the motorcycle style and positive vibes. Lean Draft House has that in droves and feels like a natural succession for the iconic coffee shop. Excellent tacos and the atmosphere is warm and comforting. Lots of TVs and great grub, cant complain; a local gem.

2022-02-28Food was good and came out fast. Service was fine except their manager, Conor, who completely disrespected my entire group of friends. The restaurant has several fire pits in their outdoor area. Because we brought 2 dogs, we asked if we could light one of the fire pits. Conor handed us a lighter to light the fire and then later told us it was a fire hazard to have them lit. At one point, he referred to us as “drunk idiots” in passing. (1) We were not drunk. At all. (2) Don’t have fire pits out on a cold night if you don’t want them to be used. He also refused to come out and speak with us as requested.

2022-04-12Location, ambience, and music was great. I bartended for 7 years and I’m not sure how the bartender destroyed making a cape cod. It was undrinkable. I knew something was wrong when it arrived because it was dark red. It was very very bitter. I didn’t want to complain, so I went to the bar and asked for a side of pineapple juice to add to it. I literally said “ I just ordered the cape cod and it’s very bitter, may I have a side of pineapple juice to help” the bartender handed me the pineapple juice and said “the cashier didn’t ring up a cape cod, she rung up a vodka cranberry” ….all a cape cod is, is cVodka and cranberry 😅. I need to apply to be a bartender here, because I think the lady on Sunday has never bartended before. I paid for the drink and just tossed it. The food looks great, but doesn’t have much flavor. I’d go back for the patio setting, if I could get a decent drink.
