FROM THE HEART OF THE VORTEX
By a strict definition, there may be some technical differences between bars, cantinas, pubs and taverns, but I have always thought the purpose of these establishments was somewhat romantic. They are cherished places within a community where folks gather, share stories, celebrate triumphs and commiserate over tragedies.
7 STEPS TO DRINKING LIKE A PRO
Celebrating your 21st birthday at The Vortex has become a rite of passage in Atlanta, so we really want to help you crazy kids learn the ropes. Trust us, you don’t want to be branded an “amateur” by your friendly neighborhood booze slingers. To begin, it’s important to understand the difference between day drinking and night drinking.
AUTHENTIC ATLANTA
Eons ago, my siblings and I escaped from Los Angeles and settled in Atlanta, with no jobs, no money and no previous bar experience. So we decided to max-out our credit cards and open The Vortex Bar & Grill. Sure, that seemed legit.
FEATURED BRUNCH ITEMS
The following items are only available on Saturday & Sunday from 11:00 AM until 4:00 PM.
APPETIZERS
These are a few secret variations to the appetizers we offer every day. While they’re good for sharing, you can always order one all for yourself. At The Vortex, we’re not about judgment – unless its bad judgment.
SANDWICHES
Unless noted otherwise, even our secret “off menu” sandwiches come with a side dish, so PICK ONE when you order your sandwich. They’re all listed on the regular “not secret” menu. Or you can ask your server – if reading is not your strong suit.
THE BASIC BURGERS
Basic Burgers are the ones everyone has heard of and eaten at some point in their lives. At The Vortex, these burgers always come topped with Lettuce, Tomato, Onion and dill Pickle slices.
SIGNATURE BURGERS
They can’t ALL stay on the regular menu forever, so some of them have landed here. Unless noted otherwise, our secret “off menu” signature burgers come with a side dish, so PICK ONE when you order your burger. Just ask your server if you’re confused.
OLD-SCHOOL BURGERS
There’s no need to specify a cooking temperature on any of our Old-School Burgers because we flatten the patties out on the griddle and cook ‘em until they’re done.
MORE BIG STUPID STUFF
The items listed here are also too ginormous and absurd to make them all the time. If we offered these things during our peak business periods, our cooks would either die or quit. We can’t have that, can we? That’s why we only offer the following items Monday through Friday, from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m.
