Highland Tap Steak Cellar is Atlanta's premier subterranean hide-away. A haven for local Atlantans, our dimly lit, warm and clubby atmosphere offers a timeless venue for any occasion. 

Located in the heart of Virginia-Highland, Highland Tap has been the only steakhouse in this historic neighborhood since 1989. What began as a popular gathering place for neighbors, the Tap has become a destination restaurant for travelers and local diners as well. Many of our regulars are greeted by the same faces who served them in 1989!

The stone walls and below street level location give the bar a 1920's speakeasy ambiance, perfectly paired with martinis. Our smoke free dining room is cozy and romantic for couples or larger groups. Smoking is allowed in the bar area.

The Virginia-Highland area of Atlanta has over 100 privately owned shops including clothing stores, flower shops, gift shops, pet stores and of course restaurants & bars. Parking is a premium, so be sure to take advantage of our free nightly valet at the rear entrance.
