Wingman Metrics
Battle & Brew is primarily a gaming bar, and the wine list makes that priority crystal clear — seven labels total, three of which are simply called 'House Red,' 'House White,' and 'House Champagne.' This is not a wine destination. It's a place where wine exists so that nobody feels left out while everyone else orders a craft beer.
The list runs exactly seven entries, and calling it a 'list' is generous. You've got a House Cabernet Sauvignon, a House Sauvignon Blanc, a House Champagne, and then two additional unnamed house pours that may or may not be duplicates of the above — the menu doesn't clarify. The rest of the card is rounded out by a Demon Slayer Sake and a Flavored Soju, which are interesting inclusions but not wine. There are no regions, no producers, no vintages — just category labels dressed up as a drinks program.
Three glass pours are available, all priced at $8/glass, which is at least honest and accessible. Beyond the price point, there's essentially no information to work with — you're ordering blind on a house pour with no producer, no region, and no vintage to guide you.
The Bottom Line
If you're at Battle & Brew, you're here to play games and drink something cold — and that's completely fine. The wine list exists to check a box, not to excite anyone. At $8/glass for anonymous house pours, the price is inoffensive, but there's nothing here to seek out. Order the Demon Slayer Sake, grab a controller, and don't lose any sleep over the wine program.
· Sandy Springs · Rotisserie Chicken
Roasters is here for the chicken, not the wine, and the list makes that abundantly clear. At fair price points for what's on offer, you won't feel robbed — but you also won't feel inspired. Order a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, eat the bird, and call it a night.

Inman Park · Sandy Springs · Spanish Wine Bar
Barcelona Inman Park runs a genuinely ambitious by-the-glass program — fair prices, Iberian depth, and enough global detours to keep things interesting. We'd send a friend here specifically to work through the whites and bubbles with a spread of small plates, and the Bico Amarelo at $9 a glass makes that an easy ask.

· Sandy Springs · Global New American
Earl's Sandy Springs is clearly a restaurant where wine is an afterthought — three bottles is a bar cart, not a wine program. Come for the food and the cocktails, but don't count on the wine list to add anything to the evening. If wine matters to you, this is not your spot.

Sandy Springs · Sandy Springs · Steakhouse and Seafood
Chops Lobster Bar delivers a competent, well-stocked by-the-glass program that will satisfy the Napa loyalists without totally abandoning people who want something with actual personality — see: the Loosen Riesling and the Champy Chablis. The markups are what they are at this price point, and the list isn't going to win any awards for creativity, but if you're here for a good steak and a reliable glass of wine to go with it, you won't leave unhappy.

Sandy Springs · Sandy Springs · Seafood and Steakhouse
C&S Oyster Bar isn't trying to be a wine destination, but the list is smarter than it looks — well-matched to the seafood format, fairly priced, and fully available by the glass. If you're eating oysters in Sandy Springs and want something more interesting than a house white, this list will take care of you.

Sandy Springs · Sandy Springs · Italian
Pricci's wine list is the restaurant equivalent of a reliable business traveler — organized, presentable, and rarely offensive, but not the person you call for an adventure. The markup leans steep across the board, and the lack of a visible specials program means you're paying full retail every night. That said, the by-the-glass depth is real, and there are smart Italian picks hiding in the list if you ignore the Napa trophy bottles.
