This was always one of my favorite places to go, and it is unfortunate that it no longer exist. I wish there was more support for it to be kept alive. The bartenders and service was always great. It was always a nice vibe and sometimes they served food out of the back, but both the cocktails and speakeasies were a vibe. read more

Food: good Service: attentive and nice Ambiance: grown and sexy, classy Sophisticated, cozy space with pleasant staff. This place is truly a speakeasy so it's a bit tricky to find. There's a discrete pink door on the side of the building facing the paid parking lot. If you go earlier in the night you might be able to catch free street parking. On a Friday at 9pm, it's a bit quiet and intimate, but it really picks up after 10pm when the crowd comes. The drinks are good and decently priced $14-18. The Wake The Dead was so refreshing and my favorite even though they all were lovely to drink. Plus, there was a live dj playing r&b after 10pm. The food is flavorful but the portions are a bit small. You'll be satisfied but not full. So consider getting an app too if you're truly hungry or eat before you get there. This is the perfect place to go to for a night cap with your boo or catching up with your girls over drinks. read more

Might be my new cheers! Tucked away in the Arts District, this gem is eclectic and fun. There's on-site and street parking. To park in their parking lot, there's a $20 charge. It's a little annoying, but the convenience makes up for it. I made a reservation online. It's a small, intimate space with limited seating, so I'm glad we did. The ambiance is relaxed with a hint of bop. There are couches, chairs, benches, and stools for seating. A DJ kept the energy up. And our server (co-owner) was phenomenal. Knowledgeable on the drinks and very attentive. We had the Mr. Jones, Smooth Operator, and then the last round I asked for a Manhattan (best Manhattan I've had in a long time). The drinks are a little pricey, but well made and super boozy! Worth the price tag. We also asked for a drink not on the menu. It wasn't to our liking. The owner not only got us a new drink, but asked what the bartender could've done to make it better. I love that! If Covid precautions are a concern this likely isn't the spot for you. It's close quarters, and none of the employees wear masks. I'll definitely be back though. read more

My husband and I came in to Parlor early on a Friday night for a pre-dinner cocktail and some apps. The decor/vibe in this place is awesome and you immediately feel like you're in a speakeasy. Now, they had just opened up for the night when we got there but y'all - at least half the staff wasn't masked. Huh??? There was a waiter, bartender, chef, and who I believe was the owner walking around unmasked. Even as more guests started to roll in, the bartender never masked up and the owner was walking around delivering food to tables unmasked the entire time we were there. That is the primary reason for this sub-par review. In terms of food and drink, first of all: they don't give you water. If you want water, you pay $4 per bottle. Ok... we ordered the Navegador and the Love Sexy, which were both great, but it took at least 15 minutes to get to us. We also ordered the cauli bites and the chicken potato bowl. The cauli bites were great and we ended up ordering a second, and the chicken bowl was decent but they were both the same size (served in a tiny bowl) and in my opinion, overpriced. Our second round of drinks were the Gentlewoman (I think this was my favorite of the night) and the Millionaire, which was not at all what the description portrayed. It was served in a champagne flute and had obvious bubbles in it and tasted nothing like rum (the drink is described as rum, white tea syrup, mint, lime juice... not sure I tasted any of that). Overall: great vibe, great decor and I love the concept and most of the food and drinks were tasty, but pretty overpriced and definitely not somewhere you want to hang out during a pandemic since many of the staff do not take safety/hygiene seriously. read more

Parlor girl. What's going on? Not you serving my $30 fried lobster tail on a plastic plate with plastic cutlery?!?! What happened to the sexy intimate cozy vibe you created here? We used to love it here. Corners are cut ambiance is sparse. Cafe tables from IKEA and wrinkly table cloths just won't cut it. We love that you've expanded but we just cont justify coming here for an experience that no longer exists. Please please please reevaluate and get back to what made us fall in love with you in the first place. We love you. We miss you. We want the old you back. P.S. Our bartender and waitress were amazing and very accommodating. Outstanding service. Thank you! read more

I am a fan of all things black, grown, and sexy and that is the epitome of Parlor. The staff is so welcoming and friendly and the space is very cozy. Feels familiar. I have enjoyed every drink I have had. My absolute fav is The Unbothered. I've recently gone and the displays of art is also such a nice touch. A wonderful lounge! Only critique would be the parking situation isn't ideal. If you can't find street parking, I believe the lot was $20 the night I went and seating can be hard if it's crowded, which tends to fill quickly in the weekends. But they are on Open Table, so maybe that could be combated. Oh, and the music love it. read more

All was well, ambiance was decent.. we were able to lounge and chat. The downstairs party area was ok, I wasn't really feeling the music, it was more African beats that I enjoy at times but for some reason didn't like it this time. After spending over 300 for dinner we paid $20 to go to the basement area but stayed about 15m.. I kinda felt we shouldn't have to pay, while many walked in and went straight to the basement. read more

Drinks were delicious and the vibes were amazing. The service was unmatched with their attention.

Finally this sexy, chic, pre-prohibition bar has arrived! The space is small and intimate, and they play a mixture of jazz and house/lounge music overhead which creates a relaxing vibe. I ordered a Mr. Jones cocktail, a Cuvee du Merlet, and an Old Fashioned Cupcake. The Mr. Jones had a nice peach flavor that complimented the bourbon and the Old Fashioned Cupcake also had bourbon infused in it and tasted amazing! The Cuvee du Merlet was similar to a Whiskey sour, but a lot smoother. Alphonzo (the owner or one of the owners) served me and was very warm and welcoming. This place is off to a great start so I hope they keep the momentum going and maintain the same level of service and customer satisfaction :) read more

Step into Parlor and you know you're somewhere special. From drinks to nibbles, it's a must.

Don't drink before you get there, or else you won't find it. Super cute, it's small and aesthetically pleasing. No TVs or big bars, definitely created for engaging conversation. Drink prices are unusually expensive for the area, but I believe its supposed to match the thought and motif behind the venue - a Prohibition Era speakeasy. That being said, they are delicious, but it takes forever to make a single drink. I think the recipes and processes they follow also factor into the price, but waiting 12 minutes for one drink when the place is already empty.... not ok. The incredible wait time for every. single. drink. is what prevents this place from being 5 stars, to me. Service is good, not great but not terrible. Wouldn't mind the prices as much if the service was up to par. I'll be back, if for nothing else than to feel cool while slipping into a "hidden bar....." read more

I had the pleasure of visiting Parlor last weekend for the Cultural Crawl on Peter Street. This is a great place to meet up with friends over a hand-crafted cocktail or for a date night. Parking - There are a couple of options. You can pay to valet your car or find street parking. Ambiance - Parlor theme is "a pre-prohibition style cocktail den'" and they nailed it! The setting is imitate and great for conversation. Cocktails - I order the Mr. Jones (their version of an Old Fashioned) mixed with Uncle Nearest 1856 Whiskey, Merlet Creme de Peche, bitter trio, citrus oil. It was probably THE best old fashioned I've ever had. I loved how the bartender put so much love into crafting each cocktail. Bites - I order the Chef's Piquant Popcorn with duck fat caramel. Delicious. It went perfectly with my drink. Customer Service - We were acknowledged promptly at the door. The order was super nice and very knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Parlor will definitely make you feel at home. I encourage everyone to check them out. read more

Absolutely one of the few places I venture out too during Covid19 when I need a sense of normality when hanging out. They do go the extra mile to keep you as safe as possible during this pandemic and ensure that you have a great time. Truly a gem! read more

Parlor - The perfect cocktails! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

What happened to the couches?! What happened to the low-key speakeasy vibe that was so ever present before the change in decor? I used to love hanging out at the Parlor when they had the lush velvety couches to lounge on. This new look with IKEA tables and chairs ain't it. The decor doesn't do this space Justice anymore. The vibe also is off now. I would come to Parlor because I loved its unique, classy, and low-key vibe, which places with such ambiance are already very rare in Atlanta. Why they switched up, I don't know, but just know it ain't it. read more

The only negative I have is the exorbitant drink prices. But what I'm starting to learn is I'm usually drinking to get hammered rather than enjoying my beverage and the preparation and flavors behind it. Sometimes sipping and savoring is more appreciable than chuggalugging. But hell, who wants to sip... drinks get watered down that way. But in all seriousness, I put Parlor high on the list as a night cap or perhaps a conversational opportunity. Even a first date would be super clutch at Parlor. Your date would most likely be impressed with your ability to locate such a hidden treasure. The inside is laid out for casual comfort in a way to stimulate socialization. Love seats and couch chairs are spread throughout with a few areas to stand as well as spots at the bar. Servers are attentive and well rehearsed on the menu offerings. Bartenders are world class. Every menu designed drink has several unique ingredients and takes a minute to make. But they push em out pretty efficiently. The location is in the Castleberry Hills retail district on Peters St. But it's not really on Peters St. I mean the address is Peters St. but you ain't getting in on Peters. Look for the pink door. read more

The menu is very limited, $30 dishes served on disposable plates! Drinks are overpriced and actually cost more than they do at more upscale places. I was not impressed by the presentation nor the cheap furniture. read more

Nice atmosphere great chill spot for the wife and I. I definitely recommend the Parlor for a night on the town with your significant other. read more

Came on a Friday night with friends to chill and catch up. The venue was a grown and sexy vibe. They had a dj who was playing afrobeats/reggae which was a plus. There was only one sever which made getting a drink a little slow but the drinks were delicious. If you love a hood craft cocktail and a chill spot with good music - this spot is for you read more

Can y'all be a little more professional Atlanta. Can you create a voicemail greeting that covers the basics and does not appear to be someone's personal cell phone? Things like address, website, hours of operation, things that are important to know (parking... basic covid rules) just thinking off the cuff here. I realize service is not something that seems to be high on the priority list in the Aye, especially places that cater to Black people, but if you consider the user experience as opposed to... nevermind... lol does anybody read this anyways? read more

Cool speakeasy! Enjoyed the drinks and service at Parlor. No issues getting seated and accommodated our party of 5 with no issues.

Great, classy secret spot to enjoy craft cocktails and food. highly recommend. staff is awesome. vibe is dope. they have great music. bring friends. it's small, classy and quaint. great for a date night. read more

Parlor is a modern-retro cocktail bar (and event space) at the corner of Peters St and Fair St. I say that now because my husband and I had the hardest time finding this place. So if you're reading this now you know! Look for the hidden door in the parking lot. Thoughts and Recommendations: - Parking is nonexistent. Not literally but basically. Parlor has a small parking lot but of course by the time you arrive there will be no spots available. My husband and I had to pay I believe $12 for 1.5 hours for public parking? Y'all, that's a drink! - Vibes. We loved the vibe here everything from the decor, the people, and the music was spot on. My husband and I came here for an event and the DJ was doing his thing. Wish we could've stayed longer but our parking was about to expire *rolls eyes*. - Drink options. We only ordered a glass of wine but I do appreciate that Parlor had options- wine, beer, and cocktails. Next time I'll give their cocktails a try since they looked so good. Also worth mentioning the bartenders were so kind and friendly! Overall I really enjoyed my night out at Parlor. It was grown and sexy, and just made for a fun and perfect night out. Like any place, Parlor has its pros and cons so I tried to give you a heads up on what to expect! Hope this helps :) read more

very small and limited bar menu. The drink I ordered off the menu was way to sweet. This is a good place to start the night or if you want to be heard on your date. I do wish they would expand the bar and allow folks to order traditional drinks. read more

Fire. Dope ambiance, great drinks, delicious food. Lowkey, in a great location. 9.5/10. Would definitely recommend.

This place is lit and literally every drink is fire. They accommodated a huge party on the spot and had incredibly friendly staff. Music was on fleek as well. If you're ever in Atlanta, hit up this spot! read more

Great atmosphere and ambience! Service was great and the people were awesome. I got there around 11pm and the DJ WAS GREAT not really many food options but I went for the cocktails read more

Hello, Tonight I had some friends come for my going away party. The service was some of the worst service I've ever experienced in a while. My first experience was amazing, but to have my people there with a waitress that was NOT interested in anything and chose her own tip at check out is totally disrespectful, illegal, not what I expected from your establishment. Unfortunately, she did not give her name, but she was the only woman working tonight which is 4-12- 2023. We had to leave and go somewhere else to have the experience that someone would expect when they are moving away from their loved ones. What I am hoping for is a response from someone who understands great customer service and whatever it is your brand is trying to put out to PAYING customers. Everyone is entitled to a bad day, but what I expect is for you to call out from your paying job when you're not in a place to provide excellent customer service. I am not done with your establishment because I really enjoyed my first experience. I am hoping to return for a better experience before my google review. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. read more

We came here on a Saturday night after having dinner elsewhere. I saw this place on iG a few years back when there was an event held here named Unsectioned. If you're from Atlanta, then you would understand the reasoning behind the name. From that point forward, i made sure to put it on list on Yelp and made sure to come here. This is a good place to start your night or have a nightcap and its a must if you want to be heard on your date. The music is curated to create a great vibe where ppl can converse and enjoy great drinks. It is small, intimate with great choice with thoughtful furniture selections. Later in the night, a DJ showed up and kept the vibe going with her mix but the music did NOT get louder and that is the vital part for me. There are no tvs here so if you struggle with conversational skills, this place is not for you unless you wish to be challenged. The staff is super friendly and greets with warm smiles. When we first got there the only seating available was along the wall where there is a long bar top and stools. A couple made their exit and a spot opened up on the velvet and sofa and the hostess/waitress came over to us and asked us if we wished to move over there for the remainder of our time there and we quickly took the opportunity. The drinks are made with fresh ingredients and by a mixologist who understand the dynamics of said ingredients. This place is a must when i go back to Atlanta. read more

Amazing time! The Salmon bites & cauliflower were amazing. Half price bottles of wine on Wednesday!

Small but mighty. A great place to have some craft cocktails and chill. The crowd is mature so it's a not too rowdy. Will definitely return.

This is now one of my favorite spots in Atlanta. Their cocktails are sooooooooo goooooood!! Just make sure you go at a decent time because seats are limited. I can't wait to go back. read more

I went here for an event and was pleasantly surprised by the ambience and whole vibe! I'm in love with the velvet seats and art. The decor is definitely eye catching and gives the place a back in the day feel! I wanted a Long Island, but the bartender suggested I try the Rumpunch, being from the Caribbean, that's all I needed to hear and went ahead with his suggestion. I was not disappointed at all! I didn't get a chance to try any of their food, but definitely will when I go back. I don't get out much, but when I do, I now have my go-to spot to just chill out and relax. Thank you for a great 1st time experience! read more

My laid back low key chill place. Great vibe and atmosphere. Drinks, service and owner are the best.

A cool spot that is tucked away off Peter's Street. The cocktails are crafted with house made juices and syrups. I thoroughly enjoyed the specially crafted drink. I watch the bartender, Cole, pull this drink together on the spot. It was so tasty and delicious. This is where you should to have a nice drink and enjoy the ambiance of a pre-prohibition era. The care and knowledge of the mixologist behind the bar are sure to excite your palate. Cheers! read more

First time here for a birthday celebration. Well the cash bar has a limited selection. Ok not a problem. The main has all the craft drinks with as a Bartender takes much longer to make So the need for additional bartenders is important. I shouldn't be waiting for a drink for over 15 minutes. Space is beautiful but the need for help is needed. Pay for the extra help. It will pay off in the ends. More drinks brought by customers the better. read more
