If anything, it looks a little sketchy from the outside given the bars on the window, but it's not a sketchy place at all. Believe me when I say this. I stopped in on a Monday night for a nightcap. It was nice and quiet, which is exactly what I was looking for that particular evening, the following day being a travel day for me. As you can see from my pics, it's a nice little place. Drink prices were very reasonable, and the bartending was very good, too. I will happily stop in again when I return to Athens next year. Cheers!

We followed that up with a couple Lone Stars, a nice touch for these two Texans.

The server was nice, yet took forever to attend to us. We ordered the Cajun shrimp bucket, didn't expect it to be cold cocktail, we thought it would be hot boiled.

Wings and Rasta pasta were decent and were big servings. Queso tacos were good. Drinks were strong. This was very lacking.

Highly recommended!!

The server was on it and we never wanted for anything. We tried some of their seasonal adult beverages and even had the bartender come out and suggest some of her favorite old fashioned recipes.

It was a perfect day out so we were able to take advantage of the outdoor patio. Again highly recommend Yahola if you have never been.

A friend had an old fashioned and the A Certain Slant cocktail. He enjoyed both. One friend was alcohol intolerant and tried the Blanche Dubois which they enjoyed immensely. The vibe and aesthetic are cozy and elegant. Service was fast and welcoming. It took a moment to find the entrance. Though we did miss the initial sign pointing in the direction of the bar and then the bar sign hanging from the side of the building itself. The entrance is located directly to the right of Tokyo Alley. Loved the outdoor space walking up to the entrance itself. This could be amazing for warmer temperature days. Will be going back for sure!

This is a very cool speakeasy experience in downtown Macon. I highly recommend checking it out…read more They're a tiki themed bar located in a basement. The ambience is very fun and immersive. They specialize in rum based cocktails (and will publicly shame you if you order a vodka drink). Their menu was pretty huge and full of very interesting and fun looking drinks. The Big Willie D in particular was phenomenal and tasted like a coconutty White Russian. They also have a passport where if you try every drink on the menu you get access to their exclusive explorer's club menu. The staff added to the fun atmosphere by periodically making announcements and playing along with the crowd. You can tell that this is a very local, family owned business. A few things to note: -You MUST make a reservation and if you don't show up to that reservation you will have to pay a no-show fee. -You only get one hour in the bar per reservation. They rotate out the entire bar every hour on the hour. It's a fast paced but fun atmosphere. Defined not a sit back and relax type of cocktail lounge.

Highly recommend!…read more What a cool ass place! The drinks were loaded with alcohol too....dayuuumm!!! It's got that speakeasy-vibe, except it's a Tiki Bar. I would go back in a minute. You only get 1 hour to drink and then your time is up.

Not huge, but two or three people could enjoy. (6 slices cut) I wanted to try something different so we got two and boxed the rest. Shelby greeted and seated us, and although she lacked a little knowledge on the beer menu, she made up for that with a trip to the bar to investigate our questions on sour beer, and came back with two excellent samples! We settled on a Dr. Robot and the Charcut-a-pie. I loved the toppings and balsamic drizzle. Goat cheese and arugula just go together. A little honey and I was in heaven! The crust on this one was a little well done, which disappointed but, the overall flavor was on point. Next, we sampled the Spicy Italian. I'm usually pretty good with spicy things, and while this was no exception, it did have both of us in a small sweat! If you are averse to spicy, stick with something else. This crust was also cooked and not over done. I'm not sure what McDonoughs' obsession is with vaults, but it seems to be a recurring theme around the square. You'll find vaults or at least doors that look like vaults all over. The rest of the decor inside and outside was well done. Exposed brick gives it immediate rustic charm, while black floors, raw wood art, and leather stools wrap the package nicely. I definitely like their lighting! Oversized bulbs hung around the pizza oven bar (which you can sit at if there's space) and giant hoop rings finish the rest of the space. It isn't that glaring light that spotlights your table, it's just a nice warm ambient light that makes you wanna pour a vintage red into a wine glass over and over. Oh! I almost forgot, they do have an outdoor patio up front, so on those less humid days and nights, I'll definitely be hanging out there!

They have an extensive selection of tequilas behind the bar. We were advised they don't really have add on flavors. So don't go expecting your basic Mexican restaurant margaritas like peach, mango, and/or strawberry, these here were definitely top tier. They only serve appetizers so you may want to grab a bite to eat beforehand if you're hungry. The service was good. It was quite early and not very crowded. The bartender stopped by our table to introduce herself and gave us a sample of one of the drinks. 9 out of 10. Definitely recommend!

It wasn't very busy when we came in so we experimented with a table right in front, but then moved to a table in the back once we discovered that the precious air conditioning was mostly flooding outside due to the open front door. Service was prompt and unobtrusive. We had a spicy margarita made with Cuervo 1800 and a tequila-based mojito. Both were well iced and tasty. While both drinks were nice as before or after dinner drinks, I would not normally drop $15 - $16 each for them. Stopping in here was more for the experience.

"There's something magical about rooftops. You feel like you're in 'Mary Poppins."…read moreGeorge Clarke There really is something special about being on a rooftop on a perfect summer evening, and it's great to have it right in downtown Sugar Hill. I would like to say I planned the perfect date, but as some of the best things in life, this was just an impromptu visit to cap off an already great evening. Outside of being on the rooftop, the bar itself is upscale yet approachable, service was fast and friendly. Being a bit of a self engrandized home bartender I'm a bit critical when out of my home lab, but their Smoked Old Fashioned wasn't bad. ("Wasn't bad" really means very good.") While I don't love the prices and hate paying a cover charge, when you throw in live music, a great vibe, and a view, I can't really complain. The owner made an announcement that whoever tipped the band $10 would get a free drink, and since most drinks were over $15 I thought that was cool on many levels. Will definitely be back to The Rooftop!

We walked around and finally ran into a waitress who told us to sit anywhere we wished inside or outside. The only area festive was inside a closed igloo and no heaters were on outdoors which was just a tad too cool for me despite the super nice weather that day. It would have been so to sit outside but without the warmth of the heaters we headed inside. We placed our order and explained we were just there for a pre-dinner drink and wanted to check out the venue so we didn't leave our tab open but we were quickly served the fabulous taking drinks on their menu(s). The Old Fashioned was on the regular menu and the Russian was on their seasonal tabletop menu. Server was very nice and took photos for some ladies we met. The only reason I can't give them a 5 star is they claim they are big on hospitality but yet we were not acknowledged upon arrival. Many restaurants and even some retail stores have a way to ensure they say hello/welcome immediately when you enter and without a hostess - the mindset should be that the bar or wait staff have a way to immediately say hello or welcome so those who have never been feel welcomed as well as those who frequently come. It would be nice to have a more festive decor for the holidays but that didn't affect my review; just a statement to say that the entire Sugar Hill area was pumping and themed with the holiday spirit then we walked in the only area decorated was not even accessible nor was it offered as an option to enjoy.
