The People, The Stories & The Place

Are there certain traits you look for in your favorite corner bar in Vinings, GA? Most towns have a place where all the 'regulars' know to gather at a certain time every day. It could be a chain, and it could be an original restaurant or café. These go-to places might be in different states, serve different food, have different type of service styles, and have different price points, but they all have similar characteristics that they can be known by.

 The People

 While the people obviously won't be the same at every corner bar around the world, you can usually tell those corner restaurants or cafés by the people that frequent them. They're people who appreciate community and routine. Going to the same place at the same time every day or every week to meet the same faces. They usually sit at the same table and have the same server and order the same thing. They're pretty easy to point out regardless of what town, state, or country you're in.

 The Employees

 You can also tell it's a corner bar by the employees. The ones that know exactly who the 'regulars' are and have their drinks waiting on the table before they even get there because they know they come at the same time every day and sit in the same place. When a new employee is hired at a corner bar, it's often part of the training to learn who the 'regulars' are and where they sit, when they come in, and what they order. Restaurants sometimes even encourage their employees to memorize their 'regulars' names and keep a list of their names to see who can name the most.  

 The Atmosphere 

No matter the size of the corner bar or the town it's in, you can usually tell the second you walk in if that restaurant is the town favorite. There's something about the atmosphere of it. It might not have the best food, but you can be certain that it's full of the best people. And, if they're lucky, some really great prices and a good cup of coffee or special on beer.
