Black Bear Tavern is a Chicago sports bar transplanted to Buckhead, the kind of small, dartboard-crowded room where every TV is tuned to a Bulls, Bears, Blackhawks, or Cubs game and rival gear is not advised on game days. It's known around the neighborhood as "BBT" or "The Bear."
The food leans into the same Chicago identity: an Italian beef sandwich, a Chicago dog, a horseshoe, and a rotating cast of burgers, including a Wisconsin topped with four cheeses that has developed a following of its own. Blackened salmon and a steak sandwich round out a menu built for a dive bar that takes its bar food seriously.
Atlanta Eats named Black Bear Tavern among the city's best, and it has settled in as a long-running fixture on Peachtree Road.
