    Met a couple of old Midtown friends here last weekend. My first long island ice tea was a bit weak in the speakeasy bar, but when I met my friends we had a table full of booze to make it up. We were there a couple of hours and enjoyed our time just drinking and chatting.

    So this spot is clutch! I can't stress that enough. It's in the Chattahoochee food hall area so you may not come across it unless you're looking for it because there's so much other stuff over there. Parking is not free so you make sure you pay the park but depending on where you go in the area you can possibly get a validated. I don't think that this spot does the validation. I came on the back half of the evening in my parking was free and the structure across the lot from the establishment. I would definitely suggest making reservations. You can go to the forum or you can go to the speakeasy inside of the form which is called the midnight room. That's where I made reservations for online. If you go to the forum, It's a really dope spot with a couple of TVs and swim lounge areas. They have a full bar in bartenders that are really nice and super friendly. If you go to the midnight room, it's kind of a back room that you go to that has the same situation only it's more personal and more private. If you try to be a little more intimate then this is the spot for you. Again, they only have limited space so you want to make sure that you do would do a reservation online. There's a 15 minute grace period I believe but you can call them if you have any issues. Typically I do an old fashioned, if you read my reviews you already know that. But I did a Manhattan. I did a smoke Manhattan It was actually pretty good. Had really good presentation. They smoked it in a dome and brought it to the table and that was pretty cool. It was a pretty well constructed cocktail. If you look on a menu though the only difference between the Manhattan and the old-fashioned was the smoke so that was kind of weird but no matter! Also try the french fries. Well the super hungry so fries were enough, but I tried the garlic parm fries and these joints were fire! They were very crispy and well seasoned and they came with ranch and ketchup. Overall I think I would invest more time in this establishment period If you want to go ahead and get a little duck off and trying to find some place that's a little more quiet and intimate if you're trying to get some one-on-one time or a small group of friends, this is definitely a spot. Just to note, the midnight room will fill up so make sure you heed your reservation. But I did enjoy the vibe. They had music playing in the background and everything and it was actually old school '90s music so it really spoke to my soul. I can't stress enough just make sure that you are aware of the fact that 20% is added to your bill already. I kind of wonder how I got to about $80 with two drinks and some french fries, but they will add it to the bill but if you are aware of that then it's no problem. Would I go back? 100%!

    Loved this place. Had a cute little girls night with my friend and had a very demure, very cute time here. It's a lovely venue and very sexy inside. Just plan for 20-40 bucks per item but I loved it. Worth it. And it has a lowkey vibe. If you come late night, prepare for a club vibe as well past 10 pm. But I love the elegance plus lounge vibe. The food was tasty and buttery, we ate so good. Love he charcuterie because it's multiple people friendly. The service was cool also, the girls are pretty and it's just a sexy place overall. I'll be back for sureeee

    This is a 21 & up restaurant. It's located close to Chattahoochee Food Works, right next  door to Axe Throwing Atlanta. If you're coming on a weekend reservations are highly recommended, it's a small space. On this visit I only had cocktails in the Speakeasy. Your entire party has to be present. Tip: You must book the Speakeasy (The Midnight Room) under Experiences in Open Table if you want to visit the secret room. It is reservation only. You will have an hour and a half in The Midnight Room. FOOD IS NOT offered. There is no menu in the Speakeasy which also means you have no idea the price of your drink until you receive your check. The mixologist asks you what type of cocktail you're interested in then they create you a drink. Get creative and step out the box. It was pretty cool to see what he created for our table of 6, everyone's drink was very unique. I requested a bourbon spirit forward drink and said I like ginger, the mixologist made a Manhattan without the vermouth and added maraschino flavoring and cardamom. I enjoyed it! It was perfection and something I probably would never order. My Manhattan cocktail was $18 plus gratuity is added on to the bill, 20%.  Enjoyed the spot and would like to return to eat in the restaurant.

    West was our server and he was the best! We cocktails were great! I loved how the bartender placed his twist on the selection. I never had a rum punch that was so good! The ambiance was decorated with a modern with creative visual muse! I recommend this for a chill cocktail night or after hour date night!

    The ambiance is very cute and very instagramable. Low light settings, great artwork, and dj after 10 on the weekend. The oysters were really good, the baked wings were delicious honey lemon pepper ( the fries were not a fan favorite, they were very thick potato wedges that were dry), and the Ceasar salad was a nice size as well. However, the drinks were uber sweet from the old fashion to their "dank gimlet" and little to no alcohol taste, just sweet. The server offered suggestions and was able to check with the chef to have warm chicken on the salad instead of cold but towards the end, she seemed overwhelmed with her tables and forgot about us. I would come back for sure but maybe just order neat drinks instead of their cocktails.

    We had a party of 4 who came by on a Friday night without reservations and was seated promptly. The space is gorgeous and the chairs were comfortable, a big plus. Our server was awesome and gave good explanations for the drinks. We had dinner earlier so we only wanted small plates since we came to drink. Everyone enjoyed their drinks, from the classic drinks to their signature cocktails. For food we had the bread and butter. The sweet butter was sooo good, I could eat that by itself. We also shared Brussels which were nicely crispy but could've used some salt. Overall, I'd actually give them a 31/2 rounded to 4 stars because the prices are a bit high for what you get. Brussels are a standard menu item, $17 is a bit pricey for what we got. There were other food items that interested us but again why so pricey? On top of that, there's an automatic 20% service charge (no matter your party size) which the server explained is split amongst everyone at the bar. He was great so we tipped additional. I wouldn't be in a rush to visit again but would go if someone else wanted to.

    This is a cute cocktail bar that I have been waiting on to open and check out. The space is smaller than I envisioned but they did a good job with the seating area, décor, and the look of the bar. Sat at a table and ordered the Uisgea Beatha (which is Gaelic for "Water of Life") and the Jack Rose cocktails. The Uisgea Beatha was very well-balanced and not too sweet nor bitter. The Jack Rose was a bit too tart for me due to too much lime juice in it. I also ordered a glass of champagne and it was perfectly cold and bubbly. Ordered the meatballs and they were a little too dry but had great flavor and spice so I would order them again. The overhead music was a good mix of oldies, '90s, and '00s hits, as well as other genres. Overall a good vibe!

    Everyone should stop by Forum Cocktails. And stop by the Speakeasy, the crafted cocktails are top notch.

    We came here on a Saturday night at 7:30 pm and they were already out of bread, Brussels and few things other that we were planning on getting. So we just got overpriced side of fries for $12 and few drinks, which are also on a higher end, $18-$20

    What a fabulous, fabulous spot! This is a must try cocktail bar in ATL. especially the speakeasy room! The service and management is exceptional, and it was such a perfect ambiance to gather with colleagues for the holiday. We also enjoyed lots of their delicious food, drinks, and desserts! You've got to check this place out :)

    The midnight room was a great experience! It has no menu hence you tell them what you like and they whip up a nice unique cocktail. Alex is artist with his cocktails. He put a lot of thought and effort into his cocktails. The vibe is immaculate and overall a great experience!

    Love love love this place. Alex is my favorite although both bartenders are amazing. Every drink is made specifically for you and your palate. Swanky, speakeasy vibes on . You have to have reservations so plan accordingly.

    What a cool place. Discovered it incidentally while in downtown Atlanta. Upscale with a dress code…read morethankfully. The entrance code can be obtained from their website or local hotel concierges. Dial the number on the antique phone and the door magically opens. The staff super friendly and helpful. The bartenders are the best, clearly passionate about their work. I highly encourage you to try one or several of their signature cocktails. I sampled the Left Bank Martini and Vesper. As expected they are fully stocked with Pappy Bourbon, hard to find Amaro Noni. Ask a bartender about the ice block. The place is spacious unlike other speakeasys I've been to. Lots of niche areas with couch reservations, pool table available. No time for a cigar but that is on my list when I return. Food available from their upstairs sister restaurant.

I sat at the bar and had a little light banter with the bartender who is a brother looking to be in his late 30's-early 40's. When I asked about two fruity cocktails from the menu, he flat-out said he wasn't going to make them. That alone was off-putting. Trying to move forward, I asked what he specialized in, and he said he'd "come up with something." I agreed--but very clearly stated: no rum, because my body does not react well to it. After watching him make drinks for people who ordered after me, he eventually handed me a cocktail I never even saw him prepare. That already raised a flag. I took a few sips, and sure enough--my stomach immediately started reacting the exact way it does when I've had rum. When I asked what alcohol he used, he said, "I don't even know." That response alone tells you everything you need to know. At that point, I reminded him I specifically said no rum. Instead of taking accountability, he tried to argue and backtrack. Let me be clear--when a customer tells you not to use a specific liquor, you don't ignore it, guess, or "forget." That's basic service and basic respect. This situation completely threw off my evening, as I had plans afterward and ended up feeling sick. To make matters worse, I reached out to management and received no response. That lack of accountability speaks volumes. At the end of the day, this wasn't just a bad drink--it was careless service. This staff does not prioritize customer care, and that's a problem. If you choose to visit, be very direct, pay close attention, and don't assume your requests will be respected.

This year the drinks were blah, the food was mediocre, the vibe was non-existent, and the service was the bare minimal. I have been to other pop-ups this year and would recommend any of them over this include Rreal Taco down the street or Hamp & Harry's or even just picking up the Grinch Happy Meal at McDonald's. Pros: Parking onsite, Reservations (sort of), friendly host (best part of the experience) and server (but absent), nice decorations. Cons: Expensive, boring drinks, overcooked and poorly plated food, not a lively nor festive vibe, poor communication and customer service. Even though this is the only pop-up pre-charging for their event and it was significantly more than a year ago, we liked having a booked time and it was a great experience previously so we booked in early November, but within an hour of booking, we had to adjust the time via OpenTable to a couple hours later. Faster forward to two days before our booking. Confirmations comes in and we notice it is the old time. Called, left messages, send messages through multiple means. Zero response. Called the next day and finally reached the manager who said that the time we wanted wasn't available even though it was the day before so took a later option at 730. Arrive on time but they don't have a table. While waiting they seat us in another area and offer extras since they are late...but they bring chips and salsa 30 mins after 730 when we were supposed to be seat 10-15 mins after we arrive. No waters or anything. Bring complementary margaritas at 810 but only 4 and there are 6 of us. The waitress was dismissive and there was no one else in the bar when we got there. Finally seated at 830 even though they are timed reservations and said they were going to be asking people to wrap within 15 mins of 730. Food was so basic and slapped on the table. Drinks were not festive at all. Ran out of hot chocolate. No festive cups or anything. It was the most mediocre experience I have had. Skip it!
