You had to try to guess which type of wine you were drinking, and they gave you a list of the possibilites with the tasting notes as emojis. Cute idea, and we were only 1/3, but it entertained us.

Overall, it was a good experience. I felt our instruction was detailed between explaining the why behind steps and demonstrating. We got a lesson in knife skills that was cool. Dishes made: -Paella (chicken and a meatless version for our vegans) -Tortilla chips -Pico de gallo -Guacamole -Sangria My only con was that we started late (more than 20 mins) so there was a lot of waiting around at first. I undetstsnd things can happen which is why thebexprrienfe was overall fun and positive. Once we got going, the pace stayed at a steady flow and we were not rushed out at the end. Would recommend if you're in the Atlanta area. The next group after us was also a corporate event, so I'd say the setup works particularly well for that (groups less than 15).

Our instructor was so entertaining, southern, and sassy (his words lol). He was really patient with some of the people in our group who weren't as experienced in the kitchen and gave tons of tips along the way. I'm not sure it was relaxing haha, but a group of 20 making pasta and sauce from scratch is almost guaranteed to be a chaotic good time. I recommend this for work teams, families who want a group activity, couples, friend groups, or even solo. I'd love to go back and try another cuisine class - there are so many to choose from! Plus there's a drag brunch option that our instructor teaches, which is probably really fun too.

So in addition to rosé I bought, I ran across a Cardi B birthday card that my friend loved. A win! Beautifully set up and an easy go-to for the warmer months.

From a party of one to large events, Green's has you covered. Huge selection, knowledgeable staff. Marvelous location. And a no nonsense approach to service. You need your drivers license to shop.

What should have been a 30-second transaction turned into one of the strangest retail experiences I've had in a long time. The cashier, Sophia, simply refused to complete the sale. Instead, she remained standing at the register while other paying customers waited in line until a manager eventually stepped in and finished the transaction. Let that sink in: a cashier holding up the line and refusing to ring up a customer for no legitimate reason until a manager had to intervene. If the owners care to review their camera footage from that time, they'll see the entire interaction. At no point was I rude, disruptive, or inappropriate. The escalation came entirely from the employee. What stood out most was the willingness to create a scene and delay multiple customers over what appeared to be a personal reaction rather than any store policy or legitimate issue. Retail is not complicated: ring up the customer, be reasonably polite, and keep the line moving. Apparently that was too much to ask here. I'm not looking for compensation and I'm not interested in arguing about it. But it was such an unnecessarily unpleasant interaction that I felt it was worth documenting. Needless to say, I won't be returning to this location.

The beer selection was posted right on the bar--it was extensive, and we were genuinely excited about the options. After looking it over, we both decided to go with beer flights to get a good taste of what they had on tap. For food, Wifey ordered the Chicken Tenders with French Fries, and I went with the Golden Chicken Sandwich. The beer flights came out quickly and were clearly labeled. While we sat at the bar, some old-school hip-hop played in the background. It kept us nodding along while we sampled our beers. Not long after, our food arrived--hot and fresh. The chicken tenders came with fries, and I managed to sneak a few--they were perfectly crispy. My sandwich really hit the mark--crispy chicken with great texture and solid flavor. I was chatting with our bartender and learned they have a full-service restaurant upstairs, so of course I had to head up for a little recon. As soon as I reached the top, I was warmly welcomed by the host and staff. I let them know I just wanted to check out the space. Upstairs had a completely different feel from downstairs. While the lower level had more of a laid-back, neighborhood bar atmosphere, the upstairs was bright, modern, and a bit more refined. I even noticed some outdoor seating, which we'll definitely have to try next time. One thing to note: the beer selection upstairs isn't as extensive as what's offered downstairs. I headed back down, and Wifey and I ordered another flight to share. At one point, I looked over and said, "I could honestly stay here all day." Great music, cold beer, tasty food, and sports on the TVs--it checked all the boxes for a relaxed and fun afternoon. Instagram: @whatsthenextmemory

Want to like this spot but didn't have a great experience…read more For one the system is a bit confusing. You order at the counter and can separately order cocktails at the bar. For seating, it seems you are encouraged to bus your own table, but it isn't clear so most people don't. So we (and multiple other groups) ended up waiting for a table to open up and then cleared the dishes/glasses ourselves. Not a big deal but was just not the most welcoming system. Additionally, our entrees came out about 15 minutes apart, which wasn't ideal. We would have liked to order a couple more beers, but pretty sure we would have needed to enter the main line again to order those. We arrived around 6:45 on a Saturday and the pizza was sold out. Not sure if this is typical, but it was a bummer, especially since the menu isn't particularly large in the first place. The Caesar salad was great. Really good. And the grinder was quite good but not exceptional. For about $80 for 2 beers, a salad+chicken, and the grinder, I can't say it's worth the price. Review would probably be different if we were able to get the pizza because that seems to be the main attraction.

You can tell it's done with intention, not just thrown together. And honestly, the salad deserves a shout too. Fresh, crisp, and actually flavorful (not just an afterthought like most places). Simple menu, executed really well. One of those spots you leave already thinking about the next time you'll go back.
