There was also one bar/restaurant that allowed smoking -- the Heineken on the upper level of Concourse A, near the center point.

However, I no longer see it on the ATL map, so it may have been closed.

There is no smoking before Security in ATL, but if you go outside you will find smoking areas -- and even benches -- on the sidewalk.

With so many smoking lounges pass security in ATL, why bother to waste time and smoke outside ?

If you are arriving in ATL and have checked bags you do not want them going around and around and tempting somebody with sticky fingers to walk away with them.

I get to the baggage retrieval area as quickly as possible, look to see if bags have started coming out, and if not then I walk outside for a smoke before going back in.

"TAP" bar/smoking lounge in ATL Concourse A

I don't know if this is new or not, but yesterday was the first time I've seen it and I go through ATL quite frequently. Arrived in ATL on Concourse A and discovered a smoking BAR/lounge called "Tap" between gates A1 and A3. They offer some food options too. It's nice to be able to smoke while sipping a cold beer, and it's much less crowded than the Budweiser 2nd floor bar (or whatever it's called now) at the end of the gates.

I didn't have time to see if there are any new "Tap" bars on any of the other concourses. Please report if you find one!

Some links to menu and reviews:
