Exceptional cuts of meat, perfectly cooked, served in a setting that feels both upscale and comfortably familiar. That balance is what makes Highland Tap truly special.

A Legacy Carved in Stone and Smoke

Highland Tap has been serving the Atlanta community for decades with a clear mission: to offer the finest steakhouse experience in a warm, speakeasy-style setting. Inspired by traditional chophouses, the restaurant was built with intention—thick stone walls, flickering candlelight, and the sound of martinis being shaken at the bar. It all started with a passion for timeless hospitality and evolved into one of the city's most respected dining spots. Over the years, Highland Tap has stayed true to its roots, proving that quality ingredients, classic preparation, and genuine service never go out of style.

The Culinary Identity: Rich Cuts and Familiar Favorites

Highland Tap’s reputation centers around its serious approach to steak. The Tomahawk Ribeye, a visually stunning and flavor-packed cut, arrives char-grilled and juicy, stealing the spotlight on any table. Guests rave about the hearty French Onion Soup, bubbling under a blanket of melted cheese. For those ending on a sweet note, the Crème Brûlée offers a satisfying crack of sugar over velvety custard. Even the burgers are elevated—one standout features pimento cheese, grilled to perfection and served with golden onion rings. Every item on the menu is crafted to bring comfort and satisfaction, without compromise.

Step Inside: Rustic Ambiance That Completes the Meal

Descending into Highland Tap feels like entering a different era. The dim lighting, brick walls, and leather seating evoke a hidden speakeasy—a space where time slows down and conversation flows. It’s intimate without being pretentious, and classy without being cold. Every detail, from the heavy cutlery to the martini glassware, complements the mood. Whether you’re dining in a private booth or sharing a toast at the bar, the environment enhances the entire culinary experience, making guests want to stay a little longer.
