So, if you’re looking for fine dining, health food, vegan or vegetarian dishes, or gluten-free options, The Vortex is probably not the place for you. We’re certainly not trying to fool anyone into becoming a patron. We have always tried to be as transparent as possible about what we do here. It’s the kind of place your momma warned you about. Basically everything we offer is bad for you. We grill up the best damn burgers in town, offer a huge selection of beer, spirits and specialty cocktails, and serve some ridiculously indulgent bar food. The Vortex is Atlanta’s premier bar and burger joint. Everyone is welcome to get sucked into The Vortex and join the party. Over the years, some customers and staff have even morphed into an extended family of sorts – although a slightly unorthodox one. The relationships we have with our patrons are authentic and genuine. Service is hospitable, but may also be a little quirky or sassy at times. The Vortex is simply a cool, casual bar with a unique atmosphere, that was designed to be enjoyed by decent, fun-loving adults. With that being the extent of our founder’s business plan, we have never taken ourselves too seriously. They reasoned that hanging-out in a bar every day would be more fun than “going to work,” and they really wanted to enjoy life in their newly adopted city. After moving to Atlanta from Los Angeles, three siblings decided to open The Vortex because it seemed like a better idea than looking for jobs.
