Bulldogs

Being a patron of Bulldogs really emphasizes the name. It reminds me that we live in a dog eats dog world and that I am ultimately prey in a world of predators. But running into Queens like the one I’m photographed with, bartenders who make refreshing ice waters, or meeting other special friends, makes existing in this space beautiful and soft. When I walk in here, there are people who embrace me, welcome me, adore me, and let me know I belong. And then there are others who ice me out before I even get through the metal detector. From spectating spades matches, meeting former models, authors, and makeup artists who have done the work I am doing today, enjoying a drink here and there, then and now, or simply displaying my latest outfit, I am honored to be welcomed by such a Queen. One who never tears me down but only lifts me up. And I think that’s the point. Even when I frequent here out of proximity and get shunned for it by some of our older gay peers in our community, I still shine. I have to hold my head higher than the passive aggressiveness from those I look to for guidance. May the younger gay men who come to Bulldogs for the ultimate gay Atlanta experience have the privilege of meeting Queens like Oriana, who will remind you of your worth and teach you to hold your smile high in the face of opposition. And through my spontaneous bar trips here, I pray to God I continue to meet men who will uplift me and not tear me down.

Great customer service and I can remember back in the days after leaving bulldogs well head on over to the Marquette for after drinks.The old young days.Him and her in the same night as in the setting and the environment.Duhhhhh🫢

Shout out to Lenny the wonderful bartender he never disappoints & A special shout out to the DJ last night (didntgethisname) for playing Kash doll for me.

Definitely a local shmokal kinda vibe. For sure the oldest gay bar in Atlanta. Bartenderswere cool tho

A friendly Gay bar located in midtown. It is hard to find parking. It's best to take the bus or use a rideshare app. The best food to eat is the baby back ribs. The French Fries had alot of salt on them. The price for a drink was reasonable. I recommend a cape cod as a drink to get when at Bulldogs. Overall, I had alot of fun at this bar with my female friend.

GREAT SERVICE!

The bartender Darrius was super attentive and he got everything right the first time!!

Byron is a terrible bartender. He has a NASTY attitude! Attitude is terrible, suck at communication. He needs to GO! I will never come back here if he’s here.
