    An amazing bar that has true essence of Little Five Points exuding from wall to wall. A hipster, trendy and alternative vibe with awesome people that truly shows an Atlanta that only the locals know.

    Star Bar is like a little slice of Texas shithole dolloped right on the creamy center of Little 5 Points. Of course, that's the whole reason people go there: it should pretty much be your capital if you're into rockabilly/surf/swing/cowpunk/dives. They have a tiny dirty little stage where bands of such a nature play 6 days a week, through a very mediocre sound system. Again: this is what people go for. PBR and the potential fist fight and Johnny Cash on the jukebox and lots of grime. They even have a little altar to Elvis, fixed with tons of memorabilia, where you can pop your head in and pay tribute. That's not a joke. Star Bar definitely isn't my cup of tea. Mainly because sometimes I drink a cup of tea. Tea drinkers aren't allowed in Star Bar. You need at least two tattoos and an exwife. Or long hair (metal style, not pretty boy) and a leather vest. All that said, they have one of the best karaoke nights in Atlanta, simply because all the people who usually hang out there actually try to stand up drunk on stage and warble Judas Priest. It's frighteningly hilarious.

    #Had so much fun here playing on stage, I don't remember much of what happened afterwards. I think there was a #dance party and some guy telling me he liked how I played, because it looked like I didn't practice.

    You know what, I'm not going to leave a negative review because one guy was rude one night. I'll try to make friends next time.

    Burle's is a great cocktail bar right off the beltline. The inside part is small and intimate but…read morethey have a lot of outdoor seating. The indoor seating is hit or miss as they have one couch that is really low to the ground and uncomfortable to sit on but the other couches are comfy. The cocktails here are delicious. I got the white witch and wow, what a great drink! The bartenders are all super kind too and make the drinks quickly. I can't wait to come back and try some of their other cocktails!

    I've been wanting to try this bar out, and I finally had a chance to do so on Tuesday for jazz…read morenight! 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!

    I was recommended The Local for great chicken wings in Atlanta, but I never expected how popular…read moreand crowded it was. We arrived there exactly at 5 PM, when it opens, but there was already a pretty extensive line. A little outside the entrance, they check your ID, which I had no idea was a thing. So make sure you have your IDs with you and are 21+. There's a bar area for drinks and a separate counter where you will order and pay for your food. (They make it pretty explicit that you can't get wings to-go.) Find a seat, and once your food is ready, they'll announce your name, and you pick up your food from the window. FOOD: We got wings in the flavors of lemon pepper (dry rub), sun-dried tomato (dry rub), buffalo lemon pepper (wet), and jerk buffalo (wet). I will say that I definitely preferred the wet wings to the dry wings. I found the dry wings to be a little too salty. In my opinion, the wings and the cook on them were just okay. I wasn't blown away or anything. Maybe the relatively cheap beer and the vibes help draw in all the appeal. TLDR// I don't think I had the greatest wings of all time here, but the vibes were really casual and pleasant. I'm glad I was able to try a place so beloved by locals.

It was a semi-private space and perfect for our evening. We all enjoyed cocktails, dinner, and dessert. Our server was excellent and easily took care of our large party. I enjoyed salmon with Brussel sprouts and fries as my sides. The salmon was perfectly cooked, medium. It was the best salmon I've had out at a restaurant in a very long time. The Brussel sprouts were tender cooked with bacon and onion and the fries had the perfect amount of crunch. I loved the maple old-fashioned cocktail and the lemon raspberry cake was out of this world amazing, nice and tart. They have free valet parking in the back and a handicap space right near the door in the back. The only downside is they only do one check; however, I feel like many places do this now especially when you have a large party so we made it work. I would definitely not use that as a reason not to come back. The overall experience was fantastic.
