Had a great first experience at MidCity. What immediately stood out was the cocktail program's focus on clarified drinks -- not something you see executed at this level very often. The amount of prep, technique, and patience required for clarified cocktails definitely isn't lost on me, so I naturally gravitated toward those options. MidCity clearly puts serious effort into the details and the server was well-equipped to discuss and help guide me to the right decisions. I tried the Peanut+Butter, Mangorita, and Pear Matcha Fizz. The Mangorita was the standout for me. The rum brought a deep, complex backbone while the mango rounded everything out with just the right sweetness. Super balanced, layered, and honestly just delicious. The Peanut+Butter reminded me a bit of a Boulevardier variation, with the Cynar adding that earthy, slightly bitter edge that kept it from leaning too sweet. Really interesting drink with a lot going on. The Pear Matcha Fizz was refreshing and easy to drink -- definitely tasty -- but felt a little less complex and developed compared to the other two cocktails I had. Overall, very impressed. Creative menu, thoughtful execution, and a clear respect for craft cocktails. Already planning to go back tonight to work through more of the menu. This is a gem on the cocktail scene in Atlanta and deserves the glowing reviews that it has here on Yelp. read more

Such a cute, cozy bar in the heart of the city. I ordered the TreS Lychee, which was strong, but super fresh and fruity. The espresso martini was one of the best I've had, but the Irish coffee was so delicious and unique in its recipe, I can't decide which was my favorite! Definitely come visit if you're in the area. It's not too crowded, the staff are super fun, and the drinks are really cool! read more

The space is small but the vibes are huge! Great place to grab a drink in midtown. The vibe is great and I love the house music that was being played. The bartenders were great and the service was fast. The drinks were very good. read more

Vibey cocktail spot. There are seating inside and outside. We took over a nook at the side where there are multiple seats/cushions around a low table, Drinks were super fun. Bartenders and mixologists knew what they are doing As the night goes on, it definitely does get a little rowdy, but more because it looked like everyone knew each other/the staff. read more

Met a date there. Had great drinks, conversation and kisses. I will definitely go again. Great vibe and ambiance. Awesome for a first date place. read more

MidCity is my new favorite cocktail bar in Atlanta. I would rate it 10 stars if I could. I had the most incredible cocktails here - Melon and Corn. Quite honestly the best cocktails I've had. The flavors were unique but went together so well. The bartenders really know what they're doing and can also craft a cocktail based on your preference. It's a smaller place and can get crowded but they play good music in the background and keep the vibe intimate. I can't wait to go back! read more

Amazing drinks and knowledgeable mixologist. The Plaintain Sour is perfectly balanced and the queso fresco on top is such a treat. It read more

Went here with a small group of friends. Most importantly, the drinks were fantastic. Each of us seemed to really enjoy our cocktails. Both the server and mixologist were helpful with recommendations and explaining some of the options. We were there a bit early in the evening so maybe we got more attention than a busier time of night, but either way it was appreciated. The space is great too; a tad upscale without feeling fancy or unapproachable. There's lots of street parking in the area as well. read more

Nicest, friendliest staff. We came late and felt no pressure. Great cocktails. Menu was small but looked good although we only had hummus because we had already eaten dinner. Small space that is inviting and beautifully done. read more

We walked into this place with about 25 people right when they opened. The owner and team did NOT miss a beat! The drinks were served fast and tasted great. They really went above and beyond to make our group feel welcomed! read more

The perfect hybrid of intimate, modern and rustic all in one. The low lighting sets the mood and once the staff engages you -you're in for an amazing experience. The menu with its leather cover and paper cloth pages definitely exceeded my expectations. I stuck to cocktails and had the Rise and Shine and had no regrets. Each cocktail is accented with a tiny food gesture to help expand customers palate before consuming. A surreal cocktail experience read more

A Must-Visit Cocktail Bar! This place has it all! The service is fantastic--friendly, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable staff who clearly know their stuff when it comes to mixology and the menu. The vibe? Sexy and cool. Perfect for a date night or a fun girls' night out. The dim lighting and great music set the perfect mood. The food is just as impressive as the drinks. We're obsessed with the tartar and ceviche! And the cocktails? Absolutely phenomenal. They have a stellar bar program, and I love that they introduce new seasonal creations (if I'm not mistaken). Highly recommend--this spot is a gem! read more

This is a true craft cocktail establishment. We ordered two of their specialty drinks and both were exceptional. Additionally, we spoke to the bartender a bit and were impressed with her depth of knowledge as it relates to mixology. The service was generally friendly and attentive, but was slow towards the end when we were ready to go, which is what resulted in a one star deduction. If you like interesting drinks then this should be on your agenda. read more

Cozy, Modern, and Fresh - Midcity Cafe is a dimly lit, cozy little cocktail bar that serves refreshing and unique small dishes and drinks! It is easy to walk to and the people who work there are extra friendly and fun. When you walk into Midcity, you feel like you are transported to somewhere exciting and exotic, but the cocktails are the star here! The space is adorned with verdant plants and features a beige, fashionable decor complemented by subtle, indirect lighting. The cocktails here are works of art - both in flavor and in presentation! With cute garnishes and beautiful colors, they are just fun to look at. I ordered the same drink two times because I loved it so much! The flavors are balanced, unique, and just enjoyable. At the door, they told us they served all kinds of different options and they were right! Only serving small bites, the items on the menu are again a delight for the eyes and the tongue. Midcity serves a variety of different tapas-style bites including Ceviche, Hummus, a gourmet Hot Dog, and a Charcuterie board! The Ceviche was a citrus-forward, refreshing and beautiful dish with foam and flowers - a must! This is an excellent little spot to visit with your friends or as a date night - there was no line when I came and it was not very crowded. A Midtown treat, Midcity Cafe is a place I will definitely return to. read more

We went with our friends on a Friday night, double date situation. This place is perfect to hit right after your pre-game! On the weekend, it gets super crowded. The place is tiny, but gorgeous! The drinks are decent. A very concise menu. Amazing dj. The ambiance is what I liked the most. I'll definitely revisit! We street parked. I'm sure you can find a parking garage nearby. read more

Cute little bar spot. The inside is aesthetically pleasing & the bartenders were all nice. Drinks are a little on the pricier side. Came here right when they opened but the crowd started coming in steadily. read more

I found Midcity Cafe from a Google search of bars near my hotel. I was pleased to find that it was literally right next to the Renaissance. Midcity was a pretty cool bar. The place was small but that just attributed to its intimacy. The interior gave me a Latin vibe. There wasn't a DJ at the time, but I suspect that they have resident DJs during the week. Customer service was fine. There was one bartender at the time, but I didn't talk to him really. There were two other female non-bartender servers behind the bar who took my drink orders and relayed them to the main bartender. Just thought that was an unusual interaction. Nonetheless, the bartender made my drinks quickly. I ordered a couple of cocktails. The quality of the cocktails were amazing. I got the Panorama Garden and Moonbow, which were both gin-based drinks, and I was highly satisfied with both. read more

This place off of West Peachtree and Abercrombie reopened about a month ago. Looks small from the outside, but is much larger when you walk in. If you like Long Island ice tea, they make them nice and strong here. I sat at the bar and chatted with the friendly bartenders. One of them gave me a new restaurant to check out. read more

When I say this is the most fun bar I have been to I mean it! It's kind of dark and sexy inside and the drinks are crafted to perfection. I wanted to try every single one if I could. It gets busy at night but surprisingly the bartenders were quick! They play house music on the weekend not sure about weekdays and there is only one bathroom which is unfortunate. Other than the bathroom situation I highly recommend coming here for a charcuterie or cocktail in the evening. 10/10 read more

In town visiting, came to this spot looking for a really good cocktail bar. Looking for a bartender that cares if the drink is good. Ordered a Negroni Blanco (bar tenders fav drink), and he absolutely crushed it. Top 3 Negroni I've tasted. Solid spot. Good music, not too packed when I was there (8pm weekday). Very chill, was exactly what I was looking for. read more

I can't remember which drink this was but it is a mezcal based drink. On the stronger side, the smoky flavor definitely comes through. The bar has a DJ at night with a small dance floor. People were dancing but also sitting at the bar talking. There is also some seating outside of you want to escape the loud music. read more

This is a very cute intimate bar that reminds me a lot of NYC! Me and a friend went there to start off the night and it did not disappoint. The old fashion was the best I've ever had and the espresso martini was fabulous. Feel good house music playing and just overall good vibes. One of the best smelling bars too - once you're there you'll know what I mean. read more

Stopped in here on a whim after my partner's birthday dinner. Great music and cool ambiance. Awesome place to grab an elevated cocktail. I tried the Traveler which is great if you love fernet and mint flavors. My partner got the classic old fashioned and enjoyed it. read more

MidCity Cafe throws me back into the New York nightlife scene of house music and carefully crafted cocktails down here in ATL. I've been craving a place that consistently plays techno and deep house and MidCity has one of the best playlists down here for that kind of stuff. The charcuterie boards are also well above average compared to similar places in Midtown. Definitely stop by for a couple of cocktails and some small bites before getting piss drunk elsewhere in Atlanta. You won't regret it. read more

Great Happy Hour Cocktails, Live Music and nibblers! A must visit whenever in midtown!

Nice place and drinks but bit pricy! Convenient and safe location, also parking across the road if you have non drinking friend with you.

Good music good videos good drinks and good servers. Stopped by on our way through DT and grabbed a few drinks--all of which were great! Would definitely recommend the "patio vibes", "Midcity high", and "coconut shell"!!! read more

Great music and vibe but bartenders have the worst attitudes. Especially Gabriel and Amanda. I live in the neighborhood and frequent often. I always see the bartender Amanda giving attractive girls the hardest time. She rolls her eyes, makes smart comments and is plain out rude and nasty. Gabriel is also a jerk to guests. See it happen all the time especially when they continue to make some of the worst drinks in the city. Should be fired. Too many cool, cultured, fun and talented bartenders in Atlanta. read more

Fantastic drinks! Phenomenal food! Zadquiel was absolutely wonderful! He's a very inspirational chef, also very interpersonal! Very knowledgeable, and very kind! Took my girlfriend for her birthday while we are visiting town. He was full of information and very willing to share how things work. The ambiance was also fantastic. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a superb culinary experience. Honestly my girlfriend doesn't like to drink but she raved about the drinks she had. I can't express how impressed we were. read more

What an awesome space! We stopped in on a Thursday night and had a fabulous time. The bar was nearly empty when we got there, but it didn't take long for it to fill up. They also had a DJ starting at 9 pm that played great house music - not normally my favorite genre, but this was really chill and fit the vibe of the bar perfectly. The drinks were fantastic - I tried two of the mezcal drinks, El Cuyo and Cielo, and my husband had The Traveler and the Oaxacan Negroni. All of them were well balanced, delicious cocktails. We will be back! read more

I LOVED coming here for the music!! It was so premium the vibe is soooo cute. I would def say it's more of a drinking establishment so don't go thinking the food is going to blow your mind - go for the awesome DJs, bar and vibe. read more

I used to come here a lot as I rented the unit directly above this establishment from the owner's brother at the time. It always drew an eclectic crowd and employees. The place has great drinks and ambiance. read more

First let's talk decor: I absolutely LOVE it. I am someone who values ambience and decor just as much as good food and service! I'm not even sure how to describe it but it's great. The ambiance here is amazing and reminded me of some of my favorite bars in New York. I came in on a Friday and they had a dj who played what I would describe a mix of house and chill tracks. The service was great and I ordered the cuban panini and an amaretto sour to drink. I'm lame and didn't order one of their craft cocktails but will definitely return to experiment with their drinks! The cuban panini was amazing! I'm a sucker for bars with good food so I was sold on my food ALONE! I personally do not like sandwiches at all. But the cuban panini was worth it. The location isn't kind of small, but I liked the intimacy the size entailed. All in all this is a solid addition to midtown. read more

I really wanted to like this place but was disappointed with the drink I got. Starting with the good-- the vibe, smell and decor is amazing. I was super excited about getting an old fashioned here, but it was not worth it. I didn't like the tea bitters they used and wished they made just a regular old fashioned. We also got their bruschetta which just ok. For a nice old fashioned, I'd recommend Rowdy Tiger instead read more

A little hole in the wall bar in the heart of the city. My friend dragged me here after a late night dinner a few weeks ago. It was a weekday so there wasn't that many people there, but the vibes were super New York-y in my opinion. I love the small bar and eclectic interior atmosphere presented here. I had a coffee martini and it was perfect. Definitely check this place out, it's different from any bar I've been to! read more
