So I will preface this review by saying I don't remember much but I do remember this: 1) When you enter to get to the elevator to go up to Moonlight, you will be asked if you have a reservation as they do notify the staff upstairs. 2) You will be placed on the elevator with other folks, not the other way around. I remember saying a couple of times "is this a group project?" because of the way they herded us on the elevator 3) If you are coming on a popular day please have reservations 4) There is not much sitting room if they are busy. 5) My passion fruit margarita was good but I think I remember asking about the tequila and they didn't have a higher quality tequila 6) The ambiance is nice!

Very nice spot.... Rooftop lounge with a great view. The inside is very swanky and the outside is a chill wrap around. The small bites are very solid as well. Bartenders were really friendly and cool. Def nice for a date night or hang out with friends.

Everything about this place is great, the ambiance, the views (anywhere you sit outside you can see the entire city), the drinks were fantastic. The service was also good, she was friendly and attentive?

so i don't have any photos of my drinks but my dirty martini was delightful. i've never eaten dinner here, but ive heard mixed reviews. BUT definitely come here for a drink if you're in the beltline or a pre/post dinner cocktail in OFW. this is definitely a more upscale rooftop, as compared to new realm or azara. bartending staff was nice and attentive. then try to grab a table outside or just stand on the balcony if you can and watch the best view on the Eastside in my opinion.

A total vibe. I was there around 7:30/8:00 on a Friday. Do not go hungry. Menu is small. Drinks are good. Service was on point. Located right on the Beltline. This was great for after work Happy Hour to get the night started.

Solid Atlanta lounge experience with a great view. We went just before sunset, which I'd highly recommend. The cocktails were well done, and the overall ambiance feels upscale, so it's worth being a bit thoughtful about what you wear. It was a rainy evening and we were mainly looking for somewhere to take shelter, and this place was exactly what we needed. The timing, the view, and the drinks all landed just right.

Made a reservation a few days in advance for Moonlight and thought it was interesting that they included a disclaimer saying reservations don't guarantee seating. Luckily, it was a quiet night, so we were seated right away. The ambiance was super cool -- from the zebra couch to the velvet bar, it felt like we'd been transported to Miami. Unfortunately, that ended up being the only highlight of our visit. There were only three other parties in the entire bar, yet there were more than twice as many servers and bartenders. Still, it took over 20 minutes for our two cocktails to arrive. Not only was the wait excessive, but our server was also extremely unprofessional -- sucking on a lollipop while helping us and offering little to no guidance. I also noticed there wasn't an espresso martini on the cocktail menu, but there was one listed on the non-alcoholic menu. I asked if it would be possible to make it alcoholic, and the server said "no problem." When the check came, I was shocked to see I'd been charged for the non-alcoholic drink plus an additional $18 to add Tito's -- making the total for one (terrible-tasting) cocktail $34. I couldn't believe that extra charge wasn't mentioned when I asked about it. Truly unfortunate, because I really wanted to like this place.

I definitely think moonlight is a cute little spot to go to! It's right above a hotel, and has a great view of the city. If you want parking validated. Make sure to park in a garage and get a TICKET - do not park above ground. From the looks inside, it's clear they're trying to curate a very chill vibe, 70s inspired. I liked the style of the bar and the velvet through the room. One thing I noticed was the purse hooks that were under the bar counter - points for that but- why are there no bar chairs? I'm here for standing room but wow- there is a lot of empty space between the bar and the couches. The bar seating won't take away from the aura trust me. The girlies come dressed for a good time, heels on, the music is great, but sometimes we want to sit - and not have more than our legs on display. The seating here is very low so be aware of where your body is facing. I had to let some women know that men were looking up their skirts... The drinks were okay- we tried four different ones, but the universal remote was the best thing I had. Not too sweet and the pandan really came through- my drink tasked like the holidays. The grilled cheese was okay - I do think the menu should have had fries! A bowl of fries goes so well with cocktails. Not sure if I'd come back here any time soon, but if I did - it would be for the universal remote !

My niece was visiting and said she wanted to go to a spot that had skyline views. She found Moonlight via Tik Tok. We were having dinner a few miles away from this spot so we decided to check it out. A few things to note : 1. This is located on the rooftop of FORTH Hotel & Social Club. 2. There is plenty of street parking and a decent size parking lot in the area. This is Atlanta, so expect to pay to park . We parked in the parking lot and it was about $10 for an hour. When we walked into the hotel we were greeted with a smile. The staff asked us if we had reservations for moonlight - we did not. This was not an issue for us. She apparently booked us and placed us on the elevator to the rooftop. When we got off we were greeted again. It was clear that the staff was notified that we were heading up! It had been raining so the staff advised us she would have to check to see if any of the outdoor seating was dry! Lucky for us there was one section that was dry! Once seated another staff came over and greeted us and asked us what we wanted to drink. He was friendly and had a great personality. My total party size was 3. My niece and friend both orders alcoholic drinks- I opted for a virgin expresso martini. My drink was just ok- I would not order it again. If my memory serves me correct my friend and niece enjoyed their drinks. I will say the food menu is small but I would love to come back and give the food a try. Now- the real winner here-- the views! It's worth coming here for that alone. I also enjoyed the music they were playing- it was like old school r&b. Overall this spot is worth checking out !

Yep. This place is definitely one of those ones. Came here on a Saturday night after dinner to finish the night off here and I only have great things to say. I had a reservation for 10:30 and we were escorted to the rooftop pretty promptly. I did hear the hostess say the wait time was about 40 minutes if you didn't have a reservation. The reservation guarantees entrance, but DOES NOT guarantee a table. For a Saturday there was a decent amount of people, but most definitely not over crowded they do a good job of limiting people coming in. Luckily we were able to get a table! The service I experienced here was just as top tier as the bar (Rooftop Bar. Get it?) Our Server Sofi! Was great! Super fun, attentive, so fye!! We ordered the Cinnamon girl, high fidelity, moon shadow, and dream weaver. All of which were exception drinks! We also had the caviar which was exquisite!! The views of the city are unmatched! The drinks exceptional and the service was perfect. There's not a better rooftop bar in Atlanta. You're welcome!

This rooftop bar is what I needed in Atlanta. In the OFW area. Top of the fourth hotel. Very new. Contemporary. I didn't try the food but the cocktails were crafting. The outside area is beautiful. Beautiful sunset. loved this place. Great date night or to go out with friends. Service was great. Our waiter was very friendly and followed us as we moved outside. Very appreciative of that.

I went on a Saturday evening and had such a great experience at this rooftop. The bartenders were super friendly and made excellent drinks. The view of the Atlanta skyline was absolutely beautiful, definitely one of the highlights. We sat at the bar, which worked out perfectly, but I'd recommend making a reservation if you want a table. That said, we were able to walk in without one, so it's definitely doable. Great atmosphere, great service, and stunning views, highly recommend!

I love this place... Gotta start out by saying that. As of the time of this one...it has only been opened for real for real for maybe 3 or 4 months. This is a bar with good vibes and good bartenders on deck. Mariama and Cree took great care of me. Superior views... Absolutely stunning. It's a good view of PCM and downtown. Plenty of couch seating outside and inside as well. They got the 70s and 80s music playing in the background. It is absolutely a vibe that I'm here for. Dreamweaver - great drink choice. Kind of a variation on a Manhattan but it's sweeter and more of a savory flavor (because it has chocolate and coffee involved). This was good and I would get it again. Moon shadow - now this is a grown old fashioned forward type drink. It has a hint (to me) of coffee, but only a bit. It is the bourbon that's sweetened and the bitters add to the flavor. It was pretty decent. I have gotten a few martinis from here as well and was not disappointed. Overall it seems like a place that you want to keep to yourself but then again you want to tell everybody about as well lol. You take the elevator up and after that, you are very well taken care of and tended to. If it's nice outside, the outside seats are super clutch. Definitely worth the trip!

Just a warning, the space inside is pretty small--typically there's optional seating outside, but it's really chilly at the moment (although they have heaters)--but there's more seating downstairs in The Victorian Atlanta plant shop. I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!

As you drive through the shared lot (with several businesses), look to the left near the valet for Two Urban Licks. The sign is only visible as you exit the lot, so it's easy to miss. Also, parking isn't free--you'll need to scan a QR code or text to pay. We made online reservations to celebrate my husband's birthday and were glad we did. Our server, Robert, was fantastic--attentive without being overbearing. He made great recommendations and was happy to move us from a small table to a more comfortable booth when we asked. They offer a wide variety of alcoholic drinks, but we opted for "Mocktail #2," which was pink, fruity, and refreshing with watermelon, mint, and lime soda. We started with the Chargrilled Louisiana Oysters, which were perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious--honestly, the best I've ever had. The Volcano Roll was also great--generous in size and perfect for sharing. It's listed as having "spicy crab," but I didn't find it spicy at all (a plus for me!). If you want more heat, wasabi is served on the side. For entrees, I had the Salmon Teriyaki and my husband had the Braised Beef. My salmon was perfectly cooked and came with fluffy white rice and mixed vegetables. But he definitely won the entree round--his beef was tender, flavorful, and served with what tasted like sweet mashed potatoes (the menu said red potatoes). The glazed carrots were slightly firm but still tasty. To top it all off, we were served a mini chocolate cake with whipped vanilla icing--soft, rich, and perfect for sharing. The inside isn't the largest resource been to, but has plenty of seating. The atmosphere is relaxed and we saw people dressed up and down. Overall, we had a great experience. Bully Boy is a gem, and I hope you're lucky enough to have Robert as your server!

Now this was a treat…read more I had no idea Little Spirit was tucked away where it is--I usually frequent Delbar just up the street--so stumbling upon this spot was such a pleasant surprise. I know the word gets overused, but it truly was a whole vibe. What I loved most is that it's the kind of place where everyone feels welcome. There's no pressure, no strict dress code--just a come-as-you-are energy, and people genuinely receive you that way. Within five minutes of being there, I already felt comfortable. Everyone was so friendly--the bartenders, the people around us, even the random interactions felt warm and easy. The space itself is really cool too. They have artwork featuring icons like Prince, Tupac, and Biggie, which added to the overall atmosphere. We ordered the King Peach (I believe it had bourbon--I did take a picture of the menu, though it's a little cut off), and it was really good. Smooth, flavorful, and easy to sip. They're open until 2 AM, so it's a great spot whether you're grabbing a drink with friends, on a date, or even just stopping by solo to soak in the energy. It's one of those places where you can just be. I'd love to make this a regular spot--definitely somewhere I can see myself coming back to at least once a month.

Little Spirit is a cute cocktail bar in Inman Park. The place is small and can get very crowded on…read morethe weekend but tends to be not as full during the week. They have seating inside as well as some outdoor patio seating with heaters. I love their cocktails here! I haven't had a bad one yet and I was blown away by their slushie. I'm not even a fan of frozen drinks but I got to try their version of an alcoholic Wendy's milkshake and it was incredible. I hope to come back before they switch it out so I can order that. The bartenders are amazing! Super friendly and helpful and they make incredible drinks. Don't forget to check out their happy hour Monday thru Friday until 8 pm (I believe).

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.

Italian Steakhouse Says It All - The Best of All Worlds…read more Walked into IL Premio on a Monday night and was told there was an hour wait for a table, so I headed to the bar- fortunately, a seat was open. I started with one of my favorite Reposados by Herradura. For my Crudi, I ordered the Ricciola alla Puttanesca, what i thought was going to be a classic Italian seafood dish that traditionally features ricciola (Italian amberjack) in puttanesca sauce. The menu noted it was made with yellowtail, which piqued my curiosity. I expected the ricciola to be pan-seared or lightly grilled and finished with the sauce, or served with the sauce spooned over the top. To my surprise, the dish arrived as thinly sliced raw yellowtail, presented sashimi/crudo-style. Each slice was topped with a small amount of sauce infused with capers, Taggiasca olives, Calabrese chiles, and possibly sun-dried tomatoes, all classic puttanesca ingredients. Microgreens completed the presentation. This could be described as a "ricciola crudo with puttanesca-style garnish" rather than a traditional cooked ricciola alla puttanesca. Essentially, the chef uses the puttanesca flavor profile (capers, olives, chiles, tomato, oil) as a raw topping instead of cooking the fish in the sauce. While it's raw, it's a modern, crudo-style interpretation inspired by puttanesca flavors and I'm a fan. I'll order it again and again. For my Secondi, I had the Risotto ai Funghi, a classic Italian dish featuring creamy arborio rice with shiitake and hen-of-the-woods (maitake) mushrooms and a hint of lemon. Served piping hot, it was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. For dessert, I enjoyed another Reposado by Herradura. IL Premio is so much more than a steakhouse. The food is thoughtfully prepared, the atmosphere is refined, service by Janlan was excellent and it is a fitting restaurant for an outstanding hotel property.
