    Very cool cocktail bar tucked in the back of Lady Bird! The place is very true to its rustic/vintage theme which I loved. A perfect dark, moody, and unique place for sure. I tried the Smoke & Roots and loved it. My husband had the cabin carre and it was a bit too sweet for both of our tastes. Overall I'd recommend and return to try new drinks!

    Love Ranger Station in Ladybird! This is their upstairs speakeasy style bar! It's dark and moody and perfect for an intimate date or night out with friends! It's a perfect spot for a night cap on the beltline!! I always love their holiday decor. And they do fun shot skis, cocktails, and small plates. FYI the fondue is DELICIOUS!! We literally took it home and made pasta with the leftovers lol it was sooo good!! You can make reservations for this spot, so if you definitely want to get over there make a reservation in advance!

    When you come here, ask for Kass. She is what made our experience here at the bar. The food and drinks are amazing. It is also less crowded than the outside part which makes allows you to talk with friends. Also got the tater tots with caviar which I highly recommend.

    I'm in love with this place. It's such a cute speakeasy style, 70s vintage, vibey place for happy hour or dinner. The drinks are strong, some of which are.. creative.. and the food is delish. Had the rolls because.. of course. The chimichurri steak was delish. The potato with caviar.. chefs kiss. I didn't know this was here. It's above lady bird in the back. Total spot.

    Ranger Station is unfortunately in a loud busy environment. If familiar with the beltline, it takes a lot of effort to get to if visiting for the first time. The inside is beautifully decorated with plenty of western themed items and colors and the vibes are consistent even all the way to the "latrines". The menu did not wow me. There were only a few items that stood out but what I did actually order was also just okay. I was expecting the dip to be hot but it was the exact opposite. I think it is maybe better suited for individuals interested in unique items or just hanging out to grab a drink or two but not for a real meal.

    The best kind of "hipster bar". I know that word is supposed to be a pejorative but I do not intend it that way. This place has that perfect and seemingly contradictory blend of ambiances: hand-selected/rustic/cabin/bougie/cozy/fancy/high-end/home-town/speak-easy. It shouldn't work, but it does. The cocktail menu is made with such loving attention to detail. It looks like a guide to hiking trails. Behind the bar is a beautiful 3D topo map of a mountain range I'm not going to indentify for you ;) The cocktails are spendy but worth it. No thumb-gun action here, all made fresh right in front of you! The folks working here, and the folks drinking here were also incredibly friendly. I was just visiting but I got invited to a Halloween party later in the week!

    Fun vibes and great cocktails. Loved their classics like an old fashioned and their new menu as well. We liked the mountain cat's bloom and smokejumper off the menu. Their wine list is pretty good too.

    Ranger Station is a V I B E. I came on a Tuesday night pretty close to closing time so it was a little slow, but the atmosphere is great and the cocktails are really solid. They have a way of mixing really complex ingredients together to generate a deliciously mixed cocktail. Definitely recommend!

    Made it to Ranger Station after having it bookmarked for a while. We had a group of 6, so made reservations prior to make sure we didn't have any problems. Ranger Station is located above Ladybird food hall and mess. Signs will guide you well. We didn't have issues finding parking if the space on a Saturday night, and while it was busy it wasn't too crowded. Music was good (not too loud) and the ambience was out of an old Western - stuffed animals, wood panels. You would fit right in with some cowboy boots and a nice cowboy hat. But something casual or even trendy will make you feel just as comfortable. We perused the menu and ordered a few drinks and the Truffle fries. Our server was not the most attentive and the drinks did take time but other than that the drinks were made well. My first drink was from the menu but decided to go off beat for the next! Everyone at our table enjoyed their drinks (and yes the fries too). This place closes at 1am, and kitchen closes at 12, so we missed out on ordering more food. But overall this place was fun. I'll definitely be back.

    Ranger Station might be my favorite bar. I was visiting from out of town and saw it on Yelp. After seeing the fun, outdoor themed decor, I knew I had to try it. The staff was very friendly and helpful when making suggestions, I loved my drink, and it was the perfect quiet place to catch up with friends! Would highly recommend for cocktails!

    Visited Ranger Station on a Tuesday night. Since this is a hidden bar you should definitely make reservation. It was not busy, with only a few patrons at the bar, and other tables. The ambiance of the restaurant was dark and intimate. The walls are adorned with decorations and the seating is a combination of couches and comfy chairs. The servers all seemed to genuinely love working there all wearing smiles and can-do attitudes! My server was very attentive and checked on us often. As far as drinks I ordered the Old Faithful, Thunderbolt and Truth or Consequences. All three drinks were perfectly crafted and delicious. The Truth or Consequences was my favorite - had a nice low spiciness but was super refreshing! The thunderbolt was tasty but I wish it did not have as much ice. The Old Faithful was light and refreshing - a ton of fruit flavors acting on this one. For entrees I order the Smoked Pork belly without walnuts, and the Cauliflower Cake & Herb Salad. The Pork belly was absolutely delicious. The sweet potatoes and apple mostarda was the perfect accompianment. I would come back over and over again for this. The Cauliflower cake was tasty, I wish it was a bit crispier, maybe seared a little more so that there was more of a crunch. The Herb salad was sweet and refreshing. I would eat the herb salad alone. I also order the amazing Truffled Waffle Fries. Perfect as a side or a started, great portion, seasoned perfectly and nice and crispy. Overall I am so glad I stopped by! From the sweet servers to the food I was pleased and would visit again! Perfect for an intimate date night or night cap.

    We had a great time at Ranger Station. Our hosts and servers - Jarret, Connor, Des and Cass were attentive and helpful. The vibe is fun but relaxed with a great collection of vinyl from the 50's-90's. Highly recommend.

    Truth or consequences
    Morgan C.

    We came here on a Friday night before dinner at Kevin Rathbun. The ambiance is great. Nice & quaint but upscale. I had the truth or consequences, which is similar to a spicy margarita and then the espresso martini. Honestly, it's probably one of the best espresso martinis I have had. So good. I'd highly recommend stopping by for a few drinks!

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! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!

There probably isn't a bar in the city that offers as breathtaking of a view as does Moonlight. The panorama of all three of Atlanta's skyscraper centers is clearly visible, along with the historical architecture of Ponce City Market.

The lobster roll was very bread heavy and the useless dab of caviar was just a wasteful decoration.

Having dined at Elektra already this weekend, we wanted to try something different. Hostess started with some type of unposted dress coded nonsense because my son was in a hoodie (which he agreed to remove) before we were granted access. Arrive inside and it's standing room only at the bar - all seating areas are clearly designed for large groups and they're all occupied, as were the handful of actual seats at the bar. Proceed to order numerous dishes from the menu to-go. Bar tenders, in fairness, were very pleasant btw. Nowhere to wait except standing there like idiots until bartender says we can sit in a reserved section for a bit. Nasty waitress comes by soon after to usher us away, despite conflicting instructions from the bar. Anyway, insult to injury when it appears I've been charged a service charge and a gratuity charge and the dishes were small and mostly not great. The wings were ok, but the grilled cheese was gross, the flatbread was minuscule, the cheese plate was meh. Overall, between the mostly rude to indifferent staff attitude, lack of seating, and poor quality of food this place deserves a pass. ,

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.

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.
