Adorable restaurant with beltline views and live music! Location and Parking Side Saddle is located in Grant Park, adjacent to the newly opened portion of the Beltline. The restaurant is behind an apartment complex, and parking is available for a small fee using the QR code. Venue and Atmosphere Most of the seating is setup outside with two small buildings used for staff to cook, organize food and take orders. Menus are located on a QR code on the small rectangular blocks on each table. Food and Beverages The charcuterie platter and grilled broccolini were delicious. I also enjoyed a margarita; they had live music to celebrate the opening of the beltline, which really set off the entire experience. Service The staff was friendly and helped with drink recommendations. Verdict I'll be back! read more

Not sure what could drive the score down, but anything below a four is unwarranted. They get a five for the following reasons: Food- really good! Got a protein Caesar and chicky nuggets, delicious! Drinks- wine flight, perfectly curated by the server for what I was eating. Ambiance- such a cool location, right off the Beltline. Make it a point to come! And btw, coffee right next door! read more

Seems like the servers here are unhappy, so if this is a lack of attention and care from management i suggest yall step your game up cause this place is cute! I never write reviews, yet here we are. I wish a server or mgmt would have come to us so i didnt have to come here, but it was the opposite. Girl, i wanted to like this place so bad. The wine list is excellent, they have some good skin contact wines and most of the list is dry which i appreciate. What's a huge bummer is the food and service. The place was not busy, just for context. Our 5 top ordered about 4 appetizers- the brussels were actually shareable, however the okra, salmon dip, and hummus were ramekin sized. Legit 1 ounce portions. Thats chill, i thought, we're all gonna order mains, whatever. Uhhhh, our three friends got their skewers (which they said were fine) but by the time our server came back around to ask if "everything was good" homies were finished with their dinner and my husband and i were still waiting on ours. When i let the server know that, he kindly said "ohhh okay, i can take that off your bill"?! Like honey, we never GOT IT and we got places to be. Thanks? We awkwardly wait a while finishing our drinks and wait for the bill, they drop a cookie off at the table, make no apology or eye contact, and say "its on the house". Phew, thank you so much, I dont eat cookies bro, i ordered a burger and okra. I understand that mistakes happen completely, but the way it was handled was totally embarrassing. Then we never encountered another server again, we figured out how to pay the bill through the QR Code plastered to the table. I haven't experienced such a disappointing dining experience in a minute so that was interesting! read more

I was looking for chill vibes and that's what I got! I really like this place which shares a patio(and owner?) with the finca to filter spot. Any place that is woman owned and friendly to all walks of life is my vibe. Family and pet friendly. Indoor seating available, but outside dining was the best. Enjoyed the Shirley temple, wine specials, flight, biscuits and more! Order was a little mixed up but all good. Fruit plate was all melons. I Ubered and was sure I was in the wrong spot when it looked industrial, just keep going. The restaurant is right on the beltline. read more

The vibes here are immaculate. They had live music from a really good band the whole time we were here and plenty of heaters and fire going. This was such a laid back fun place to be on a Friday night. Our waiter was really helpful with giving us information to pick which glass of wine fit our palate the best and the service was very attentive. We tried the tiramisu for dessert and I wouldn't recommend it. It was more like a dry yellow cake that had the essence of espresso. I think their other desserts are probably better and would recommend getting those. They have events almost every day of the week and post their monthly calendar of events at the beginning of each month. I can't wait to go to trivia Tuesday or women wine Wednesday for half off bottles of wine! read more

Side Saddle Wine Saloon & Bar - Tiramisu - Wine Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Went here last Saturday night during the bachelorette weekend, and this place matched the chill vibe we were looking for. Most of not all of the seating is setup outside with two small buildings used for staff to cook, organize food and take orders - with a little bit of seating located within each. A staff member noticed us walking up and offered to help us find an area to accommodate our group (10 of us). Menus are found through a QR code on the small rectangular blocks on each table. Everyone got something different but we all seemed to enjoy what we got. I just ordered the Kentucky Mule as my drink and Warm Chocolate Chip Cookies as a snack since I planned to eat food we had back at our Airbnb. Well, I was pleasantly surprised to see two massive cookies served on a plate to me and they were perfection! Served warm, soft and gooey in the center but not in a way that made to question if it was baked right and the salt topping is something I did appreciate. I gave the second one to others in my group and they also raves about how good it was. To pay, we scanned that QR code again and it was a pretty simple process as our bill as already split up for us per person. Before we left, the staff offered the bride-to-be a complimentary dessert of her choice, which was such a sweet, thoughtful touch. read more

After a bike ride in the beltline, the perfect pit stop. Wide variety of wine (everything we tried was really good!) and a wonderfully refreshing Caesar salad. And a super cool spot - tiny building with a welcoming, chill, yet still refined aesthetic. read more

Tried out this spot for dinner a few weeks ago. They have two buildings. One for the bar, one for the coffee shop. And they have quite a bit of outdoor seating! We got cocktails and the smash burger with sweet potato fries and Caesar salad. It was yummy and loved the neighborhood spot! read more

I loved the vibes of this place! We certainly recommend a reservation but it's nice that you can order wine while you wait for a table. The last star was missing solely due to the prices but I guess you pay a premium for being near the beltline, even on this stretch. The food and drinks were great and nothing too large (tapas style). Certainly a great place anyhow for the vibes specifically though. read more

Side Saddle Wine Saloon & Bar - Outdoor bar with Belt Line views, music and patio seating - Wine Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This is going to be one of my favorite places on the Beltline! They officially opened about a week ago and it's a vibe already. Love that they offer NA cocktails since I'm not much of a drinker. We took seats outside but the inside was super cute. Definitely not a lot of tables so I highly recommend making reservations. Every single one of their staff that we encountered was so nice and lovely. Our water glasses were always refilled and when we were still missing items, our server (forgot her name but it started with a Z) would check in on it. There was definitely a wait on drinks (my husband was halfway done with his margarita and I still didn't get my drink yet), but our food came out quick. I ordered My Little Pony that tasted like skittles, and my husband a margarita with black salt on the rim. For food, we shared the wings and large grazing plate. The presentation is beautiful and definitely plenty of food for two people. If I had one negative thing to say, they need to have outdoor fans. I know they just opened and hopefully it is on their list of things to add. read more

Don't know why folks gave this place a 1 star, but let me set the record straight. Side Saddle is a lovely place with good food and a very warm atmosphere. It is very small indoors with only 2 tables, but there is a lot of outdoor seating along the belt line. The wine selection is not large, but what they have is quality and natural wines. Last night was 1/2 price bottle night with a focus on women vintners. We ordered the Caesar salad and burgers and they were delish. read more

Cutest outdoor wine bar on the Beltline!! Definitely going to be the spot this summer. They've got wine flights for just $20 which was so worth it. I believe they validate parking for 2 hours too. Service was very friendly and they also host events with Finca to Filter next door. Will definitely be back! read more

The patio is great. Fantastic cocktails and wine list and the bread and butter is an absolute must. Would come back anytime read more

Super cool, super welcoming, great wine. Yes they have just opened (July 2025) and the smell from the beltline fertilizer/mulch is strong. It was still busy on a Thursday happy hour - testament to their appeal. Great live music. Super warm / casual but helpful staff - like being at your cooler friend's house who is a great host. Like the selection and good N/A pics. It is very small indoors, finca to filter across the courtyard /patio is bigger but different vibe (more coffee/café). Food was quite good. Hope they hold up the quality once the beltline is open - it will be tempting to cut costs and serve big crowds like what happened with Rathbun steak, etc etc. Great spot. read more

Such a great addition to the neighborhood! Solid menu and great ambiance. Friendly staff!

25 people have left this company since opening on memorial Day weekend. Licenses and permits were not properly acquired, pay to staff has been wrong almost every single check, tips are pooled and not accurately dispersed to the staff. Many staff will work 5 days a week and leave with a check of maybe $150-200. When following up on pay grievances staff was left on read and never had issues resolved. They were having staff run multiple roles and promised to pay them certain rates they never saw. If you patronize this business you're stealing from the staff that waits on you and cooks your food and directly putting money in the pocket of an owner that has had time to go on multiple vacations while opening two new businesses at the same time. read more

"Wine Bar" should be used loosely. Was a hair in our food, still was charged full price. Service was HORRID. If I could give 1 star I would. Only good thing is the mustard on the grazing board. This is my first ever review if that tells you anything.. I mean a "wine bar" with 9 bottles of wine to choose from? I mean come on not even a Pinot Noir read more

We loved the ambience, food, cocktails, and wine flights. We had the fried okra, dip duo, and some gelato, and it was all great!

Initially I was excited to come and experience the wine bar. Girlfriend and I attended. We were not pleased with the service or even the selection. Nothing on the menu was available at the time we arrived. We made do with a charcuterie board that was ok, not anything amazing. Also the wine selection is not broad at all. No sweet reds or even moscatos to choose from. Our server turned out to be the owner and she wasn't great at all. Very passive aggressive. We changed seats and got a nicer server who actually wanted to please our expectations. Overall I would not return nor recommend. read more

Food was alright, service was absolutely splendid. You can tell these folks take pride in their work but it doesn't seem like management has a clue what's going on. I overheard some of the staff talking about not having been paid for weeks which is super fishy. I'm not sure what they've got going on but it didn't sound too good. They've got a great staff and they should be paying them for their labor. Wish the team well and hope they can find better places to work where they'll be valued. Don't think I'll be spending money at this place again. read more

I went here with my partner for good food and good music. The jazz was decent but the food and the environment was a fucking let down. first of the vibe is not it. Side saddle is way too small to sit comfortably and the bugs in there are a nightmare. When it started to rain they pushed us all in either finca or side saddle with that good luck energy... my food took way too long to get to us and it was cold and mid. The food is so overpriced and the fries were inconsistent to what i saw on social media. The staff were running around trying their best but it was a mess. Its clear that this is a new restaurant. read more

Nice selection of music played. But, turn the volume down. This is a residential neighborhood.

Bad service, bad food, bad wine. over hyped on social media, server slammed things down on the table. Over priced!!!
