The hearse parked in front of this East Atlanta spot gives you an idea of what to expect at this bar, which has a definite dark side. But the spot is actually pretty high-energy, especially if you arrive after 11 p.m. on the weekends, when the place is packed with a wide range of people checking out everyone in sight. During the week, the Graveyard hosts a variety of events, including a swing night with live music. Show up early to order from the full menu, which includes everything from wings and Black Angus burgers to lamb paninis and blackend shrimp over polenta, or order a snack later from the bar menu, which features wings, sliders and chicken tenders.
