Three stars for the cool, cute set up with a view. Pretty place with no substance: -drinks were trash -drinks more expensive than listed online -drinks did not have the same ingredients as listed online. At least "13th floor" did not. It was supposed to have orange juice and orange Creme and instead it was just bourbon and bitters. I could make that at my home bar. Also apparently a few of their Instagram photos of their menu items are taken off Google. "Pretty with no substance" Such a bummer as I was super excited to try this place out! read more

Shout out to Carlos! The sweetest and entertaining bartender I have met in a while!!! He was so educational on his liquor !

Nice atmosphere and good sized rooftop bar. Our bartender Fallon was pretty chill and helpful in helping a friend and I determine what drinks to get. Drinks aren't cheap, but you're hanging out in a pretty cool place with excellent skyline views of Buckhead and Atlanta. The whole Sylvan hotel has a really swanky vibe, and depending on what time you go, I'd recommend dressing a little more on the stylish side. I went on 4pm on Saturday to beat the crowds and the people coming in after me were rather stylish. I wouldn't say the vibe is pretentious in any way, just really hip. The have bar bites and a small food menu, but I'd eat somewhere before arriving. read more

Kimpton has been a favorite of mine for years they finally got it right in Atlanta with the second hotel St. julep is the roof too bar if the hotel ! The views are sweeping the vibe is amazing every other Saturday there is a DJ who is awesome ! Wear your dancing heels ! The bartenders are very nice (and cute) and the drinks are strong ! Patrons are very friendly mix of hotel guest abs after workers 30-40s looking to unwind ! I highly recommend this place for after work drinks with coworkers (if you must). The Saturday DJ will have you dancing! Just call a head to find out if it is a DJ Saturday Enjoy the summer make this a spot to try . The food is very bar type but kinda cute they actually have specialty soft serve ice cream if you are into that but good ! Remember it's a bar don't come looking fir food they have a restaurant in the hotel that's great ! read more

I've been to the St. Julep twice this week & both times were wonderful. I don't remember our bartenders name from the first night, but Donovon (I think that's how you spell it) stepped in to help her when the bar got busy. He is really knowledgeable and approachable. Even more so on our second visit there! He remembered us without us saying anything, which I always enjoy! This place also makes some AWESOME drinks. The "My Cousin in Trinidad," which both bartenders suggested was amazing! As for food, it's light bites but the calamari is great! Can't wait to come back soon! read more

One of the best bars I've ever visited! The drinks and food were pricey - but so worth it! The bartenders were simply wonderful - they made excellent recommendations and provided amazing service. The atmosphere is unsurpassed. We tried the homemade corn dog and were shocked at how tasty it was - we almost ordered a second! The soft serve ice cream was the best I've ever had. The drinks were inventive and beautifully presented. We so enjoyed our evening there! I can't recommend this place enough! read more

St. Julep - Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I've been waiting to come here for a few weeks since I started working down the road, and I'm glad we finally came. The view and out door sitting looked nice but we ended up grabbing an indoor seat due to rain. The drinks were fantastic, I had the Mainstream. I'm not a huge fan of gin, but the other flavors cancelled it out. We also got the corn dog flight... highly recommend. The cheeeeze dog was a nice dessert to finish it off. We had Carlos as our bar tender, he was very attentive and made sure we were always taken care of. All and all, this is a nice addition to Buckhead's bar options. read more

Weekends up here are the place to be seen, and you'll totally appreciate this eclectic getaway that's right in the heart of Buckhead. So put on your sexiest, make your way over, and let the good times ROLL! read more

Came here for my birthday and I cannot say enough about how special the staff made our experience. The drinks were perfectly crafted especially the "So Hot Right Now". Perfect spice and sweet ratio. Amazing. The bartenders were so knowledgeable and really went of their way to take care of us and made sure everyone was having a good time. Eric, Dawson, and Melissa are some of the best and they made this our now favorite rooftop experience. They didnt rush us out and took our food orders when it was late. Will be back. Highly recommend. read more

Eric made the most amazing drinks after a long day. The vibe was amazing the views were to die for.

Came here for my wife's birthday for pre-dinner drinks. Been here many times, and each time the experience is worse. The cocktail menu drinks are extremely underwhelming and the bar is not well kept. It's very cluttered and doesn't feel as upscale as the prices would lead you to believe. If I am paying $18 for a martini in Atlanta I would expect it to be served in a proper martini glass. I was served it in a rounded coupe instead of a v-shaped glass. Something I would expect from a dive bar. What really set my bad experience over the top was not the underwhelming and disappointing drink selection, it was the automatic 20% gratuity. I mean what a joke how far has the Atlanta food and drink scene fallen that customers can't be given the respect to determine a tip amount based on the quality of service they received. I understand why an automatic gratuity exist for large parties, but this was literally just my wife and I in an empty bar on a Wednesday night. Our service was fine, so no complaints there, it was just a very off putting experience. The rooftop view is nice but not worth the crazy prices and quality of beverages in my opinion. Buckhead is crazy competitive and this place doesn't hold a candle to some bars in a 1 mile radius of its location. read more

Eric and Melissa hands down the best bartenders. Efficient and very attentive can't recommend them any more!!!

This place is the BEST. The lively hostess, awesome waitress, fun decor, beautiful views, delicious food, AND yummy drinks?!?! Everything was spot on. Mainstream drink was my favourite, and I'll definitely try the Bowtie next time (I'll definitely be back). Don't even get me started on that Diplomat corndog. DELICIOUSNESS in every bite. And their soft serve alone is enough a reason to pay a visit! read more

Eric is my favorite bartender. He's amazing, and so hot and Blake thinks he's hot too.

Eric was the best bartender I've ever had. Great recommendations and such great conversations. Go visit soon.

Eric and Melissa are the best bartender's ever!!! I would go just to see them! Can't recommend this bar or these people more!

Pretty anticlimactic rooftop bar. The view is okay, but not amazing and it feels like they opened prematurely or something. The drinks were pretty and in pretty glasses. But... Instagram definitely makes this rooftop bar seem much cooler than it is. It was kind of a bummer because we were so excited to check it out! read more

Eric was awesome to talk with and made awesome drinks. Definitely ask for him when at St Julep. He can pair liquor and create cocktails to please the whole crowd. read more

The St. Julep is the newest rooftop bar to hit the Atlanta scene. The rooftop itself is awesome and reminds me of rooftop vibes I've had in NYC. Interior of this place was well decorated and it would be the perfect place to casually gather with friends or grab drinks with a date. Parking is valet only, but there is a paid lot across the street and also street parking in the vicinity. The low review is for the LACKLUSTER SERVICE. We went on the first Friday they were open and I called ahead to see if I would need any reservations. Unfortunately, the bar has no number attached so I reached out to the concierge at the hotel. He informed me that they do not take reservations and it was "first come first serve." Fast forward to the night of our visit. We arrive and there's no hostess at the stand, so we seat ourselves at an empty table and look at their website for a drink menu. The hostess immediately runs over and tells us that the seats are reserved, and additionally are only for parties of 6 or more. I explained that I called earlier to specifically make reservations and that our party was 6 people. She did not seem to care and asked us to move to the bar. We put our name on her waiting list and she stated that there were 5 parties ahead of us. We then understandingly moved to the bar. *Within seconds* an elderly couple sat down at the seats and she allowed them to stay and order drinks without question. That immediately rubbed us the wrong way. (The table remained empty the rest of the night and she never ended up calling us...) After having waited for months to visit this place, we decided to suck it up and keep trying. As we patiently waited for the bar staff to approach us, we got ignored repeatedly as the bartender served a group that sat down minutes after us. We stop a busboy and ask for a menu and immediately realize why most people are only drinking beer. The cocktails are extremely overpriced!! Not only that, but their prices are higher than listed online! The cocktails were tasty, but had lots of ice. The snacks were fairly priced though and I wish I had tried the Szechuan tots. In the end, we walked down the street to The Regent Cocktail Club and had great service, no hassle with seating, and still got a rooftop experience. Something tells me the staff here may have some implicit bias against our skin tones...but this is Buckhead so that's sadly to be expected. read more

We went here for early cocktails with our baby. The rooftop so beautiful and the drinks are well made. However service was terrible, there is one server for the entire outdoor patio. We had to wait thirty minutes for each drink and thirty minutes for the check. Then we received our check, it was totally wrong, the wrong food, wrong drinks placed on it. We waited for another thirty minutes to get this corrected, but our baby was starting to get very fussy, so then we had to give up and overpay $50. It was ridiculous. They seriously need to work on their service!! read more

Horrible service!! Such a nice rooftop but the service sucks so bad I would not recommend this spot to my enemy. Definitely not worthy to be in buckhead. Whoever is managing this place must do better. Where is Brandon? This place use to be a good vibe. read more

Me and friend stayed at the Kimpton Sylvan Jan 6 2022 they had a card on file but I payed cash for my drinks at the rooftop bar At Julep well the server Cole didn't let them know I payed and I spoke to the manager he said he took care of it I spent 250 for drinks because they double charged me read more

4.5 stars from me! The view is really nice and there is nice seating outside. The DJ was really friendly and took requests and the vibe was great. My drink was good and the bartender was friendly. read more

Rooftop vibes are great but bartender flirts with guests entire time and manager is horrible to her own employees. This is the 1/2 full espresso martini I got for $15 read more

St. Julep - Great vibes. Manager is rude to her own employees and this is what I got for $15 (half of an espresso martini) - Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Carols is the reason this bar rocks. Oh and the rooftop and mid century decor are pretty cool too.

Nice view of the city Good selection of food Fun and colorful summer vibes Rude bartender with bad customer service Went to check out to see if we can host some events there. We were greeted by super sweet hostess upon our entrance and who seemed like a manager. However, def did not get the same vibes from the bartenders! It was not crowded at all, but two of them were not giving my group any attention. Very odd....!! Especially, the female bartender (not sure of her name as she minimized the convo) was rude and avoided us forever, so the male bartender ended up helping us, who turned out to be nice! Such a shame this awesome rooftop has such a bad bartender...because of her bad service, we decided not to return to this place again or host any events here that we were planning. We want the best service for our guests. read more

Best rooftop in ATL. Cocktails are great, vibes are better, and the corn dogs and soft serve are a perfect cure for what ails you. Great spot for a dinner pregame or a great night out with great views. Service is fast and friendly as well. read more

eric is my favorite bartender. he made our corporate event an amazing time. he's super fun and i can't wait to come back

St. Julep is great for an after work mixer and mingle sess. The bar gives a beautiful view of Atlanta's skyline at night. The laid back restaurant and bar takes a turn at night and becomes a little more lively when the DJ comes. Definitely be ready for a great time! The food is pretty good and the service is pretty descent. read more

Such a gem! I was there with a couple of friends and we loved everything. Nice service, chill vibe and good drinks.

If I could do no stars I would. 30 minute wait to get to the roof regardless of how many people left the rooftop. We were first in line and security let a darker more "privileged" group go ahead of us that just arrived. Rude service. Horrible drinks. I've lived in Atlanta 4 years and this is the worst place I've ever been. Oh yeah and it's $16 a drink for sour mix and well liquor. read more

Last week the server tipped himself $25 for bringing me one drink and tater tots! Last night. Waited an hour to get up to the Roof. Over 50 people came DOWN from the elevator. yet the officer wouldn't let one person up, for an HOUR. Stood right in front of the elevator watching tons of people come down. finally finally after getting up: it was empty up there! i ordered five tiny little sip sized basic vodka lemon juice shots for my friends. they charged $17 for EACH little shot. Over $100 Bill. Management said they'd look into the previous over tipping incident. read more

These people are thieves! I went in for drinks and apps on 9/3. Had a great time, loved the bartenders, hung out for a few hours, and didn't get too crazy. When it started to get packed around 11pm, I closed out my tab, tipped like 22% and left my signed receipt on the bar. The next day I noticed they had overcharged my card by about $15, but I gave it a couple days because I know sometimes that stuff sorts itself out. But when the transaction went through, they had overcharged me $35! This has only happened to me a few times, but each time it has, the establishment has been so apologetic and mortified; they would immediately refund the difference. Not only have I had to call these people four or five times to get my refund, it's been over a week and I have yet to receive my money back, another call back and I never even received an apology. It's pretty disgusting that I have to follow up so many times for something that was clearly their mistake. I would give this place zero stars if I could! Never in my life has a restaurant stolen money from me and not given a damn. They should seriously be investigated by the Better Business Bureau as I am sure I am neither the first nor the last person this will happen to. read more

Takes about an hour to get a drink. Not enough bartenders. Also the ones working don't care to be there.

AMAZING atmosphere and staff. Our bar tenders Cole and Carlos were super friendly and fun. They made my friends bday so enjoyable. Plus the drinks were great read more

LOVE this place! Some friends and I came to stay at the hotel for my birthday and we came to the roof for some pre-dinner drinks and Carlos & Cole are amazing!! Super fun, personable, & knowledgeable. I had the St. Julep cocktail but everything we ordered was awesome. Best part? The views!!! read more

The corn dog was flight.. Wow I couldn't recommend anymore highly. I gave Le Clasique a 9.2/10. I eat a lot of corn dogs.

I am so glad this roof top bar opened in Atlanta! It has amazing food, drinks and such a great atmosphere. While there Freddie was our waiter and was so attentive and sweet! He did a great job getting everything we needed in a timely manner. Trey was working the bar when I went to get a drink and told him to make me a surprise cocktail, and it was the BEST drink I have ever tasted! Everyone needs to go check out this bar!! (If I could give it 10 stars I would!) read more

Fallon is amazing bartender. Made one of the best drinks I ever had. Thank you! green chartreuse

This place is just AMAZING! Great people work here and they have the best cocktails. Highly recommend to any locals or visitors!
