    Moonlight in Old Fourth Ward = the perfect girls' night spot! Such a cute, cozy vibe and the cocktails are just as pretty as the space. Service was just okay, but I think it was an off night, as the servers were super slammed. ATL needs more moonlight vibes.

    I didn't love the food -- a ton of seafood items but didn't feel like it suited the vibe. The service is good and the servers are very attentive! the views tho....thats everything here. I have to say it's been the best one ive been to in atlanta!! get a resi, don't wear athleisure, and park valet or pay on the street!

    The lobby is exceptionally photo friendly!

    Moonlight at the FORTH Hotel Atlanta in Old Fourth Ward is such a chic rooftop cocktail spot. The richly colored décor and lounge seating give it a glamorous, intimate vibe. The skyline views are amazing....you can even see the iconic Ponce City Market sign glowing in the distance. I highly recommend the French 16 cocktail. The saffron and apricot notes make it light, unique, and really elegant. Perfect spot for a stylish night out or drinks with a view.

    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!

    Last night, Friday, August 21, at approximately 9:30 p.m., I was denied entry to Moonlight, the rooftop lounge on the 16th floor of FORTH Hotel & Club in Atlanta, because of my attire. I am the woman wearing the black glasses, and this is exactly what I had on. There were three hosts at the entrance, and all three appeared to participate in deciding whether I was dressed appropriately. They pointed toward me, looked me up and down, and appeared to size me up before turning me away. I do not understand why it took three hosts to evaluate my clothing, but their behavior made me feel judged, looked down upon, and unwelcome. One of the hosts enforcing the dress code was wearing black, baggy cargo pants, making their decision feel even more inconsistent. Moonlight's website describes its dress code as "smart casual" and specifically prohibits athleisure, swimwear, and leggings. Businesses may establish dress codes, but those rules should be clearly communicated, consistently enforced, and applied respectfully. I would like Moonlight and @FORTH Hotel & Club to review what happened around 9:30 p.m., explain exactly which part of my outfit violated their published dress code, and address how the three hosts treated me. No guest should be pointed at, stared at, or made to feel inferior while staff members collectively assess their appearance. Thankfully, the evening ended on a positive note. As we were leaving, we met actor Deji LaRay, who was incredibly kind and gracious enough to take this picture with us. A disappointing experience led to an unexpected and pleasant encounter. Has anyone else experienced this type of treatment at Moonlight or FORTH Hotel & Club? #MoonlightAtlanta #FORTHAtlanta #AtlantaRooftops #CustomerExperience

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Moonlight is a relatively new cocktail bar in Old Fourth Ward located in the Fourth Hotel. They have a variety of cocktails ranging from around $12-20. I would recommend making a reservation, especially on a weekend at sunset, but they do take walk-ins and you can get added to a waitlist or try to find an unreserved table. The view from the rooftop is spectacular. You can see almost all of Atlanta. It's a really nice spot to grab a cocktail and enjoy the views.

    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 !

    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?

    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 !

    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.

They hold a jazz night every Tuesday with live music for a nice chill, yet fun, vibe. 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!

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!

We were seated at a table in the main dining area, but there's also a full bar with ample seating and very nice view. The seats were very comfortable and the tables are spaced in a way for intimacy. They also have music playing the background & the playlist was diverse with music ranging from K-Pop to R&B. Now on to our meal! The menu is pretty straight forward and broken down into apps/small plates, mains/big dishes, and a separate menu for cocktails. To start off we got drinks: lychee martini 10/10 & "cucumber salad" 8/10. Both were very good. The ingredients used make the drinks very intriguing and definitely something you've probably never tasted. It's suggested to keep an open mind when trying their cocktails. For food we had the shrimp wontons 10/10 (sauce was so good ... a little spice to it), the salt and pepper shrimp 8/10 (a little salty but fried well), the Thai basil fried rice 10/10 (the fried egg on top and the pickled cabbage was a great touch), and last the lobster pot 10/10 (presentation alone would make me go back to visit ... this dish was so good and flavor full).

First, I tried to see the menu online but quickly found there are a lot of menus and they change, so you can't really know what they're serving. They had just five entrees to pick from, and none were very appetizing. Each was over-engineered, too. They were good about asking about allergies, but if you're traveling and careful about introducing new things to your diet, maybe this place isn't for you. They do have a steak. At $200, it's made for the entire table. You can't just get a steak, even though they clearly have steak. Frankly, a lot of the menu was just gross. Sweetbreads, steak tartare, veal. We picked a chicken plate with potatoes. The potatoes were fine. The chicken was very dry. I asked for iced tea. "We don't serve tea products" was the response. WTF? And while the cocktail and wine choices seemed numerous, the beer was extremely limited. We just stuck with water. Then there was the service. The staff were polite and prompt, but some of the habits were just deeply weird. They kept coming by and folding our napkins. Like, you get up, use the bathroom (an unmarked door adjacent to the kitchen), come back, and somebody has picked up your napkin, the one you've been touching your face with, folded it with their bare hands, and left it there. Look, servers roll silverware and I'm no germophobe, but we really don't need more people touching my napkin throughout the meal, do we? This carried over to other staff who would randomly stop by to clear plates and wipe the table down while we all had to stop talking, watch them replace perfectly clean silverware with new perfectly clean silverware, and then leave. Always with new people. None of this makes it a bad restaurant. It's probably exactly what some people are looking for. It just isn't for me.
