Once upstairs it was easy to find seating and a waitress was coming up within 10 minutes. I ordered the Cardinal it's really good and sweet but if you don't keep it mixed the syrup sinks and without the prosecco it's no longer enjoyable. So I ordered another lol. After that I also got the beekeeper but it was way too smoky for me but the presentation was nice and the rock candy garnish really good. The last drink I ordered was the Peachtree and that was my favorite reminded me of like a peach lemon drop. By the time I thought of food the kitchen was closed but the menu was small from what I noticed it's a true bar menu so either come early and eat at 5church downstairs then enjoy the rooftop or just go to waffle house after like I did lol. All in all I had a great night the dj was good until he left before midnight. I will continue to come back.

Beautiful views, but the service and the food left much to be desired…read more I ordered chicken skewers, 2 mocktails, artichoke dip, and yucca fries. The chicken skewers took forever to come out. You only get two of them, and they are served over a bed of mixed greens. They lacked seasoning and flavor. The artichoke dip was extremely oily and had a very strange texture--it was thick and spreadable. The pita bread tasted old and stale. asked for a fork and the waitress forgot. When she brought my fries, she realized that she never brought the fork, and still didn't bring it. I ordered yucca fries, but she brought regular fries. The mocktails were served in these foggy old cups. Even the customer next to me commented on her own cup and said it looked like someone had drank from it. They add 20% gratuity to ALL bills--I was by myself and it was still added. 5 Church is pretty good, but this place was not at all. I paid 65 dollars for my meal, which was absolutely not worth it, given the quality and service of my experience. Looks good for IG but I won't be coming back to this rooftop.

I like that this is close to a bunch of other bars but doesn't feel too packed, so you can easily bring a little group and not have to worry about getting your drink knocked out of your hand or anything. There is very moody lighting with a dark interior and purple lights. Definitely a place I'll be going back to.

We recently attended the Auburn/Baylor game and had already planned to park in the lot next door…read more We decided ahead of time to try Wild Leap Atlanta since it was close by and had great reviews. I'm not a beer drinker, but it looked like they have a variety of beverages in addition to a couple of meal choices. We entered, and everyone was so friendly. After placing our orders, we received a text that let us know to go nearby to the food truck to pick them up. The double burgers were tasty and the fries delicious. Our slushie drinks were exceptional. We enjoyed our meal before walking over to the game. As the ballgame ended, there was a notification that there was a severe thunderstorm and we should shelter in place by staying in the stadium. Since we had a bit of a drive home, we decided to get ahead of the weather and traffic and leave early. Well, we had only walked one block when the bottom fell out. We were drenched. We decided to run back into Wild Leap before we got our car next door. As we got to the front door, a young man (Manager? Shift manager?) whom we had seen working there earlier opened the door and welcomed us in. He immediately grabbed hand towels that were clean and dry for us to wipe off with and offered any assistance he could give us. We went to the restroom and tried to clean up a little, then came back out, handed over the towels and walked outside. It was still pouring out. The same man then insisted on running to his car to get his personal umbrella for us. He returned with the umbrella. My daughter used it as she got our car, then returned it to him. We were so impressed with Wild Leap for many reasons: the food was delicious, the drinks were excellent, and the service was superb. Thank you, Wild Leap, for playing an integral role in giving us a wonderful day in Atlanta!

This was my first time at Wild Leap. I came with my wife for a friend's birthday, as she was…read morecelebrating here. Parking can be a little confusing at first, but there's a huge parking lot basically right behind (or in front) of the place. They have quite a few beers on tap, so if you like beer, you will definitely find something you like. They also have slushie drinks and then you can make your own well drink if you want too. They don't serve food, but they do occasionally have food trucks on site. Wild Leap has two levels, but the lower level is where the party is. The TVs are all down there, and they have some nice outdoor seating. The staff is all super friendly too. Happy to help! While Wild Leap is quite nice, it's super far from my home in Chamblee. I probably won't come back anytime soon, unless someone is having an event here.

Moonlight has been one of Atlanta's tougher to get rooftop bars since its opening. Booked up nearly…read moreall the time and for some good reasons. 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 crowd is mix of tourists and locals in their 20s and 30s. The cocktails are solid. Food is decent, nothing to rave about, but again, hopefully nobody is here for the food. The lobster roll was very bread heavy and the useless dab of caviar was just a wasteful decoration. Yet, the atmosphere of the place, situated in the beautiful Forth hotel makes Moonlight an incredible spot for drinks.

A genuinely terrible experience, from start to finish. Firstly, we were guests at the hotel looking…read morefor dining options around 8pm. 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. ,

And it doesn't hurt that it's in the same building as the St. Julep rooftop bar and gorgeous restaurant, The Betty. We were heading for a night out in Buckhead and decided to meet up for a drink at Willow Bar before grabbing a bite to eat at the Betty. There is a limited "snacks to share" and entrees menu but we decided to save our stomachs for dinner at the Betty. I ordered the Bee Still My Heart, a floral & citrus take on a gin sour. It wasn't a super photogenic drink but still tasty. The cocktail menu overall looked super interesting but it got a bit warm outside so we decided to cut drinks short to head inside. Next time I'm bringing the pup so she can enjoy a night out with us!

Mid afternoon. Came on a Thursday night, sat outside and we were not acknowledged at all. My cousin asked one of the servers if we would get service and she said she would be over. She never came by so we sat inside after 20 minutes. Finally someone greeted us. Terrible terrible service. So understaffed.

So I'm not going to lie. I'm a little bit disappointed. I couldn't leave it at five stars because I…read moreactually did go back and try some food. If you look at the venue, it's really cool. It's dark and dreary but it's still very becoming and it's not like it's a dive bar kind of dark by any means. I like the aesthetic. The bar staff is always super cool and super friendly. I've sat at the bar every time I went and they've not let me down one time. I definitely appreciate their level of customer service. So they have this thing where you can go ahead and get a combo meal, which bars don't really have that lol. You can get either the chicken sandwich or the hamburger, as well as some fries, a shot of whisky, and a beer, all for like $20. Which is unheard of anywhere because you go somewhere else and you're paying $20 for just the sandwich alone. Let alone the shot and the beer they bring you as well. It's a really great deal and this night I was thinking I was going to give it a go. I went ahead and tried the combo with the chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was okay but it was not up to par from what I thought it was going to be. The chicken sandwich was basically burnt. You break off a piece of the batter, which was crunchy, but then you see nothing but charred batter and ash basically. That really wasn't cool. I had to pick it apart and pick that off of my sandwich before I ate it because I don't wanna taste burnt fried chicken batter. You can see in one of the pictures that I posted that it definitely shows the contrast with the outer crust of the chicken versus the inside. I'm glad that the chicken was still edible and the chicken still had a pretty good flavor to it but just the fried meat was the issue. If you're going to fry chicken, you got to fry chicken right because you can really tell if the oil is bad or if it's been left in there too long. That's my only gripe with the food but I still would go back and try the burger because it's probably harder to mess up a burger than it is to mess up a battered chicken sandwich. This isn't me writing them off but I'm just being honest about it. I will still definitely go back because I like the vibe there for sure.

It's definitely an adult setting with a good mix of ages, so there's something for everyone. One thing I really appreciated is that this is a smoke-free establishment, so we can breathe easy! Now, the mocktails... Save your $12. We ordered all three, and unfortunately, none of them really stood out. The food truck also wasn't out on this particular night, so I didn't get to try the food. Overall, though, I had a great experience and would definitely return. I may have to come back for Salsa Night because I'm curious to see how those vibes are!
