A survey by Geek Nexus of dive bars with the best food — as spotted by Patch— put Reynolds Street Bar and Grill (34 S. Reynolds Street) in the number 25 spot.
The ranking is based on a poll “as voted by 3,000 adults” based on which dive bars serve “surprisingly good food in places where gourmet meets grunge.”
The number one spot went to The Vortex in Atlanta.
The bar serves a mix of pizza, subs, sandwiches and other classic bar fare.
