Happy Hour
Late Night
My Favorite Food
The BEST Italian in Atlanta in my opinion and their cocktails are AMAZING
Sotto Sotto Restaurant
My favorite Mexican! The Krog St. and Avalon locations are my fave
Superica
There are many tapas place in Atlanta, but the atmosphere and food here is top-tier. They also have a tableside gin & tonic service
Barcelona Wine Bar
super casual environment and really good food. The chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries is my go-to.
Bantam Pub
I know this is a controversial topic in Atlanta, but I promise you Brooklyn Bagels has the best bagels in Atlanta. While there is an Atlanta location, I recommend the original location in Norcross
Brooklyn Bagel Bakery & Deli
This is a classic! Amazing to go any time, and has great food and drinks that are affordable
La Fonda Latina
Happy Hour
The best places for cocktails
I've tried a lot of margs, but Chiringa has THE BEST margs by far!! They make their mix with fresh orange, lemon, and lime juice… sooo good trust me.
Chiringa
Above a plant shop on the beltline! Amazing drinks and reasonably priced. It's a great place for happy hour drinks with friends. They also do live jazz on their patio Tuesday nights in the Summer!
Burle's Bar
Late Night
Anything from dancing, snacks, and nightcaps
A small hidden gem! A great place to go late night if you want actual cocktails and they usually have a dj playing
MidCity - Atlanta, GA
My favorite concert venue! They don't oversell it, it's huge, and has good airflow which is important
The Eastern
Perfect for when you want a chill night to hangout with friends - located in Virginia Highlands
Dad's
A bit of a younger crowd, but the upstairs is great if you want to dance. It's basically one huge dancefloor with a dj usually playing
Smith's Olde Bar
Where I usually go for a girls night for good drinks, music and dancing! And it's a rooftop which is a plus
