Such a unique and memorable place to visit. Entering through the classic London‑style red phone booth sets the tone immediately, leading you into a dark, warm, and beautifully maintained speakeasy. The atmosphere is classy without trying too hard, and the cocktails are truly top‑tier -- crafted by some of the most skilled bartenders you'll ever see. If you enjoy cigars, this is the perfect spot to relax, sip, and take in the experience. Whether you're there for the drinks, the vibe, or just something different, Red Phone Booth delivers. A great night and an experience I highly recommend. read more

My friend and I walked in during FIFA and immediately felt unwelcome. Bartenders were extremely rude. Asked how long they've been opened to be told "what is it to you" twice. Asked if I could smoke- being polite although a smoking bar- to be told the 2nd bartenders doesn't like it. Rude and weird experience. $50 for 2 drinks I don't leave reviews often Spend your money elsewhere in a city that provides better hospitality. Without snikering waitstaff and going out of their way rude bar staff read more

I stopped in for a quick drink before heading to my next destination, and my experience was not only disappointing--it was unacceptable. 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. read more

The Red Phone Booth in Atlanta delivers on atmosphere with a smoky, sultry flair that absolutely fits the speakeasy playbook. We first spotted it on Yelp and couldn't resist the promise of a hidden entrance and a little mystery. And to be fair, they've nailed the "adventure of getting in" concept without overplaying it -- it's fun, discreet, and sets the tone the moment you step inside. That said, our entry came with a surprise we didn't love. The doorman told us there was a membership fee, so we paid it on the spot. Only later did our hotel inform us that guests can get free access codes -- no fee required. That discrepancy knocked the experience down a notch right out of the gate. It's one thing to play into the speakeasy mystique; it's another to feel misled. Once inside, the ambiance is the star. The low ceilings, dim lighting, and deep wooden bar created that moody, old-world vibe where you half expect someone to croon jazz standards from the corner. Bottles lined the back bar like a quiet promise of a good night ahead. The cocktails were good, and our bartender, Sidney, made the evening shine. Watching those massive ice slabs come out to create big-rock cocktails felt like a performance. And for me, spotting Yellow Chartreuse behind the bar was an instant win. Sidney mixed a Last Word, a Cloister, and The Green Eye -- all perfectly balanced and exactly my style. The crowd was a blend of everything -- locals, travelers, cigar enthusiasts -- and the ventilation system did its job well. I could appreciate the aroma of cigars without leaving feeling like I'd rolled around in an ashtray. We actually returned for a second night, which says a lot. The space delivers enough charm, enough swagger, and enough atmosphere to pull you back in. Still, a few bumps in the experience kept it from being a top-tier standout compared to other cigar bars we've visited on our travels. Is it worth a visit? Absolutely. Just do yourself a favor and ask your hotel for the access code before you go. read more

Such a cute speak easy. Really unique and hits a niche in Atlanta. So you know it's cigar friendly so if they bothers you, maybe it's not the place for you. But the staff was so so friendly and welcoming. The spritzers were very tasty. And cocktails strong and on vibe. Definitely worth a stop if this is your vibe. read more

Red Phone Booth - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

What a cool place. Discovered it incidentally while in downtown Atlanta. Upscale with a dress code thankfully. The entrance code can be obtained from their website or local hotel concierges. Dial the number on the antique phone and the door magically opens. The staff super friendly and helpful. The bartenders are the best, clearly passionate about their work. I highly encourage you to try one or several of their signature cocktails. I sampled the Left Bank Martini and Vesper. As expected they are fully stocked with Pappy Bourbon, hard to find Amaro Noni. Ask a bartender about the ice block. The place is spacious unlike other speakeasys I've been to. Lots of niche areas with couch reservations, pool table available. No time for a cigar but that is on my list when I return. Food available from their upstairs sister restaurant. read more

My friends and I wanted to celebrate our birthday month together. It was easy to secure a semi private area that included a reasonable spend for shared food and at least 2 cocktails per person on their website. The red phone booth was easily spotted and we were escorted inside by the doorman and our server was amazing. We enjoyed learning about cigars in the humidor and the vibe was grown and sexy. read more

Nice speakeasy. They offer food from the restaurant above them. They have an extensive cocktail menu. If you're a beer drinker, there's only about 4/5 they offer. Bartender was welcoming, interesting guy. Nice space, location wasn't hard to find. read more

We are from Jersey and I had been searching for something to do so I found this place and we went, and I wanted to get the whole experience of being able to take pictures in the booth. However, when we arrived, someone quickly rushed us inside. He even entered the passcode instead of allowing us to do it and get the experience.. I was able to take two selfies because he had rushed us in so fast. We went inside and honestly just wasn't for us but the place is nice. That ambience is great and it's definitely a grown and sexy crowd. read more

Red Phone Booth brings one of the coolest atmospheres in downtown Atlanta. From the moment you step in, the speakeasy vibe hits you, dim lighting, polished wood, that old-school swagger that makes the whole place feel like a secret worth keeping. The craft cocktails are superb. Every drink is made with real precision, balanced, flavorful, and clearly handled by bartenders who take pride in their work. The staff is genuinely nice too, welcoming without the attitude you sometimes get in high-end cocktail spots. If you're looking for a place with style, serious mixology, and a vibe that just feels good, Red Phone Booth delivers every single time. read more

Collared shirts and sports jackets are mandatory. No problem, it's good to have class. The bartenders are super cool, the waitresses are nice however the service is slow. MM at the door will shake you down for money so be aware. Ask your hotel for the code to get in and avoid the nonsense. The drinks are poured directly from the shot glass. No extras here. The bar was out of Woodford and Uncle Nearest. WEIRD. The ambiance is cool and laid back, the speaker system is fuzzy and needs replaced. read more

This is the first "speakeasy" I've been to that legitimately doesn't look like an obvious bar. Walking inside is like stepping into the past. Dark wood, leather couches, and the smell of cigar smoke sets the tone as you settle in for something special. I normally do not drink liquor, but made an exception because I was with friends. The brandy cobbler was absolutely amazing! It's a shame we don't have anything like this in Jacksonville, I would be a member. I only get to Atlanta once a year, and I will be back. read more

Highly disappointed in this location. Except for the Perron at the front door, every other staff member was short and not welcoming. I asked for a bourbon sidecar and got a traditional. When I asked the bartender, his response for a curt "I didn't make it" and I pressed further, his "repeated rather curtly, " I didn't make it". Customer service could have been a more of "would you like me to remake it". Instead he tuned and walked back behind the bar. They get one star for the ambiance. read more

So I hadn't had a cigar for this entire trip and had dinner across the street and remembered the fun vibe from 2 years ago. It's a speakeasy type cigar lounge with rules and dress and so forth. And you need a code to get it. I love that kind of old school stuff. So, I got the code and in we went and smoked, drank and laughed all night. That's called living!!!! In the end I was invited to take pictures with the staff behind the bar. An honor. Best night.... so far. Ha!! read more

The VIBES here are the best I found in ATL. Put a collar on, check in with your bartender (as one should in a proper establishment) and get yourself setup for an old school cocktail experience. I wouldn't say the humidor was world class but it's certainly sufficient if you know what you're looking for. You say: 'it's too smoky' I say: 'The air filtration was on point and running heavy.' read more

"The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind." Humphrey Bogart Red Phone Booth. Problem solved. Cocktails here flow like secrets among the crowd, and the flair of high end cocktails combined with the intoxicating environment of this liiteral hidden gem in Atlanta's make for a great night. It's easy to get caught up in the fun of this speakeasy as you make your way into the crowded bar. You can't help but have a good time as you watch the bartenders tend to their craft, and it's not lost on the patrons. Service is excellent, and I would highly recommend seats at the bar to watch the magic. In the spirit of prohibition, speakeasies, and fight club, I won't talk about The Red Telephone Booth. What happens in the Red Phone Booth stays in The Red Phone Booth. Shhhhhh read more

Totally unexpected and random speakeasy. We were staying at The Ritz during the Peach Bowl and after the game, we knew that everywhere downtown would be packed and we were right. Being that the game was on New years day, a few places were closed. After going by three establishments, we stopped by Amalfi and were quoted with a 2 hour wait. While standing in the stairwell checking Opentable and Resy for reservations, we were approached by someone that shared a college affiliation with a member of my party. We were then offered a chance to come to the speakeasy where they shared the same menu as Amalfi! What a stroke of luck! We exited Amalfi and entered the "red phone booth" outside, entered the code and were granted access. I cannot stand strong smoke, especially cigarettes and while too much cigar smoke can affect me, I got over it and enjoyed our time in this super cool spot. After a while, I did not smell anything, however, the next day, my clothes and my hair did not let me forget. This place is pre-prohibition which I love. We had the first word, the last word, old fashioned's and the st. germaine margarita. The drinks were crafty and delicious. We ordered the calamari, margarita carnevale and carne pizzas and the food was good. Tony was our waiter and he took such good care of us. Thank you Tony! read more

High-price, high-quality cocktails and cigars are worth it in this establishment. Like most high-end cigar lounges around the country, this one is best enjoyed with strangers who become friends. The bartenders were attentive and friendly. I really (really) enjoyed my experience here. read more

It looked so cool from the outside and I did love the throwback vibe. Drinks were good. Nice variety of cocktails and good service. Drinks did take quite a bit to get, but understand they are being crafted. My real issue was the smoking indoors. I can't remember the last time I was somewhere cigarettes could be smoked indoors and not to be that guy, but it was not pleasant and therefore it was a one drink trip for me. read more

My first speakeasy experience and it was so much fun! The phone booth wasn't working but we were able to call in on our phones. The ambiance of the place really takes you back in time to prohibition era. They had a great seating area, fun menu, and cigars for purchase! Our waitress was exceptional although I can't recall her name. We tried their elderflower margarita and it was so good! We also ended up trying the absinthe drip and what an experience that was on its own! We don't typically smoke but wanted the full experience so with the help of staff picked one out. This is absolutely a must when in the city. read more

IYKYK!! This is the coolest spot in Atlanta, but you do need to know the code to get in. There are a couple ways to get the code- a member, local hotels/restaurants, or become a member. But the cocktails and food are really good!! This is the perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail and cigar after work. The bartenders are amazing and it was soo cool to watch them make drinks. They are so impressive. Definitely check it out if you are able to get the code. Good luck ;) read more

Been here quite a few times and it's typically really good. The bartenders mix a great drink and because they don't use energy drinks, it seems to keep the riff raff away. I mean, I like vodka and Red Bull as much as anyone but when you're in a speakeasy, the expectation is to be a little upscale. Not a huge selection of cigars and they're pricey but the environment is top notch. read more

Donald at the front was great. Gave us a tour of the entire bar. The bar was a very nice bourbon/cockatil/cigar bar with very fair priced drinks ($15 for a cocktail). The drinks were great, the service at the table was good, no complaints. I would come back again. read more

The Red Phone Booth is an amazing experience--and you should go there. An experience and a sociological Rorschach test. Go alone or go with a group of friends, but if you go with a group, disconnect for a bit and soak it all in. Walk in the humidor and pick a cigar. Order a martini or an old fashioned or Prescription or a Vaccine. Crack open the Red Phone Booth booklet and read the Rules of the House. Eavesdrop on some conversations at the bar or the sofa next to you. Order something decadent from the menu. Enjoy the light and the smoke and the feel of the leather. And turn off your cell phone and forget for a moment that you have a job or any responsibilities. Experience the moment. And when it's all done, walk outside into the Georgia night and feel the air. Go to bed and wake up and remember the experience--forever. read more

I understand having a dress code, but when you open the door to a customer and immediatelly insult them and think that that's OK... you probably retrain your front of the house staff. I was wearing a decent quarter button down, black shirt, black slacks, no hat, and instead of saying hey I have a coat that I'd like you to wear so you can come in you immediately laughed at me and said we need to dress you up. Awesome customer service. read more

I actually wanted to check out both locations so I checked out the downtown location today. It was a lot quieter than the Buckhead location and not too many people here. The music selection was not a good selection . It was more like TV show themes of music. Overall I will say the Buckhead location is a lot better but I still like the vibe of both of them so if you're looking for more of a chill relaxing atmosphere the downtown location is it but if you're looking for more upbeat, good music type of atmosphere Buckhead is better, but the service was great overall at both locations and the drinks were strong so pick your poison. read more

The service was amazing! The owner welcomed us in and was spreading ice melt on the sidewalk during the snow storm - he went and picked up employees today so they could be open and we are thankful they were! The full speakeasy ambiance with ice blocks being chipped away to make cocktails, high quality cigars for purchase, and low lighting for a calm evening made it a perfect place amongst the hustle and bustle of downtown atl. Eat upstairs at the restaurant, Amalfi, and ask how to get into the red phone booth! read more

The experience of trying to figure out the code and how to get into this place is a lot of fun. Once you get inside, there are so many pretentious people smoking cigars and trying to look important. The ventilation system is horrible. You will have to wash your clothes twice and scrub your hair, nails, skin and eyeballs when you get home to eliminate the strong, pungent cigar smell that will be stuck to everything that entered this building. read more

Pretty cool however the dress code seems a bit over the top for a place that will leave a strong cigar odor over every article of clothing on you. Service was good yet slow however I'll lean into it being very busy and they were trying hard to sling drinks. Great place to imbibe just let it be a fun little hideaway versus some club requiring a sports coat. Lastly, if cargo pants are a no then be sure to get everyone at the door. I had a friend sent away yet two others were let in just before us. It's a tourist spot, check it out, grab a drink, and check the speakeasy box! read more

On a recent trip to Atlanta, a couple colleagues and I decided to venture out to the Red Phone Booth after dinner as we had heard its a fun speakeasy and a unique experience. Upon arrival (around 10PM) on a Monday, there was a short line out front where a gentleman was doing a dress code check (the men need to have a jacket to go in). Once your attire was approved, you are asked to step into the phone booth and then you are let inside. We didn't need a code to enter and it really wasn't as cool as it was made out to be.. more of a gimmick. Once inside, it is has a smoky lounge vibe where everyone either has a craft cocktail or a cigar. As the bar area was full, we went to a table towards the back and ordered a drink there. Almost all cocktails are about $15 which isn't unheard of. We did end up moving to a table at the front as it ended up being too smoky in the area we were sitting in. I ordered the elderflower margarita which was a nice light margarita. One of my colleagues tried to order a couple other drinks but they were out of quite a few ingredients (Hendricks Gin for example). The server ended up making a suggestion and the drinks were great! We did one additional round but they were then out of Elderberry so I had to try something else as well and again the server made a great suggestion. Overall, I think this place was a unique experience but wasn't as cool of an experience as I would've expected it to be. With that said, the drinks and service were good! read more

The rotary phone in the phone booth was out of order, so we used a cellphone to call the secret number. Once inside, we were shown to plush leather couches and given a book of "prescriptions." Our server was excellent, encouraging us to try something we wouldn't normally and ensuring us they would replace the drink if we didn't like it. I ordered the French 75 as I had never had Cognac. Everything we ordered was delicious! There's a humidor with cigars for purchase and you can smoke them with your cocktail. Very unique cocktails with a huge variety and all very affordably priced at $15. read more

This was my 2nd time here since last time i was in the area i was absolutely amazed!! This place is really cool. The smoked old fashioneds were well worth the price. I mean...they cut their own reverse osmosis ice and it's fun to watch from the bar. They have a nice cigar selection in their humidor and even with all of is smoking in the lounge, the air filtration system handled it just fine. Our server was great, but then got a little unprofessional towards the end. Wait time for drinks was about 25-30 minutes, and drinks were delivered to the wrong people so some were left without a 2nd drink. Towards the end, it seemed like the waitress was trying to hustle us to buy her drinks...and was way different than she was when we first came in. When paying the bill, there were a bunch of fees that were not disclosed on the POS machine, but maybe i just didnt scroll down and see them. I found all those out when I had the receipt sent to my email. Still, I will be back next time I'm in the area. Very chill spot and what a fun way to enter. read more

Super fun place ..best old fashions in Atlanta! Great place to take friends or have a business outing.

To begin with - I don't smoke - was just there with friends. That being said the ambiance was fun, just a cool place with a fun "speakeasy" entry. Drinks were tasty and creative - not just the same boring drinks that you can get anywhere. That being said our server was SUPER pushy on getting high ratings - handing out cards and pushing for X number of 5 star ratings for the day. It sort of felt gross - she was great otherwise but that just...meh sort of ruined the chill vibe. Also MAKE SURE you get the phone code from your hotel to save the money shake down at the door. read more
