The Iberian Pig

We visited The Iberian Pig during our first trip to Atlanta, and while there were some aspects that stood out, it was Brandy, the bartender, who truly made our experience memorable. Not only did she consistently make great drinks, but she was also incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. She even took the time to recommend other venues and restaurants around town, which was above and beyond. Her energy really elevated the atmosphere behind the bar, and I can’t recommend her enough! On the flip side, there was a bearded bartender who seemed visibly frustrated, and his lack of engagement was noticeable. After Brandy dropped off our drinks, he briefly asked if we were OK, but that was the last interaction we had with him. When it came time to pay, he came over and grabbed the check as if he had been the one taking care of us all night. If tips are pooled here, it’s hard to see why he would be included, given that he wasn’t really contributing behind the bar. Brandy and the barbacks were the real stars of the show. As for the food, we only had drinks and appetizers, but everything we tried was fantastic. The ribs were incredibly tender, falling right off the bone, and the broccolini had a great flavor. The Iberian Pig definitely lives up to the hype, and every drink we had was well-crafted and consistent (when Brandy was behind the bar). Overall, while the staff was mostly friendly, I really hope the management addresses the behavior of the bearded bartender, as it detracted from an otherwise excellent experience. Brandy’s hospitality is what will bring me back, without a doubt.

This tapas place is wonderful. Has plenty of Spanish hams. Their tapas was a bit saltier than I like. But tasted great nevertheless. The service was great. The staff made a mistake on our bill and put some items from other table on our bill. But she realized her own error and corrected it.

I have been here several times and it never disappoints. Great atmosphere and fabulous food. And easy safe parking. Always good service. Our waiter was Alex and he was outstanding.

My wife and I have eaten here before and loved the food and the atmosphere, so we decided to come again while we were visiting the area. We had a reservation for dinner and had to wait a few minutes at the bar before our table was ready. Once we got to our table, were sitting between two exceptionally LOUD tables and we could not even hear ourselves talking. So, we decided to leave the table and head back to the bar. The staff saw that we left our table and immediately came over to check on us and we told them that it was just too loud at our table, and we preferred to sit at the bar. They immediately apologized and then the bar staff really took care of us. Our food was excellent. We will definitely be back again soon.
