Even their water gets an umbrella
Carrie H.

Strangers in Paradise is such a fun cocktail bar! The decor is on point. I do not know who their interior designer is, but they need an award! The postcard wall is my favorite, and I really wish I could make one in my house. If you are lucky, Terrance will serve you. He is the best bartender! Everyone who works there is fantastic. If you have a larger party, you can sit in one of the couch lounge areas, or if there are just a few of you. You can take a seat at the massive bar. All of their drinks are so much fun, but my favorite is the one in the cup. I also love the cute toothpicks. They put all the fruit on. I like him so much that I keep them and put the toothpicks in my plants at home.

Never had a bad drink here This bar is located in the food hall at Lee + White If you're with a squad, get the Cheeseburger in Paradise, it's a hoot.

Sitting area in front of the bar... the band was seen in this area.

This area sits off one of the many entrances of the Beltline. Really, really cute! It sits in a food hall but it definitely transports you to a paradise island beach side bar. It is a bar only but you are able to bring your food over. The bartender gave upbeat energy and amazing service. They have some cool drinks, he made us something not on the menu a Julep... good but strong, I needed a little more chaser....lol. I've been to the Food Hall before and in passing, I seen they have a band sometime. I enjoyed my time there and will be going back for sure. FYI... the parking is now paid parking, PLEASE don't get got like I did! It is free for the first 2hrs., so look for the QR code and be sure to register your tag.

Super fun tropical cocktail bar tucked inside the Lee + White food hall! The vibe is laid-back with quirky vintage decor and beachy energy that makes you feel like you've escaped to the coast. Drinks are creative and colorful (great conversation starters ), and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Perfect spot for happy hour or a chill night out with friends.

I've been to this cocktail bar twice now and it's amazing. It sits right at the entry of Lee + White on the Food Hall side and has this vintage tropical decor. You'll definitely feel like it's the new Cheers - a place where everybody knows your name. The cocktails are fun and refreshing. They'll make up something or you can order off the menu. Most recently I attended an Alumni Meet & Greet event for Clark Atlanta University and prior to that for Homecoming pre-game. I had a whiskey cocktail that was on the stronger side - no complaints! My server was actually the GM and he was awesome. Calm, cool, great smile and came out from behind the bar to help guests. The other bartenders were attentive and friendly. I love when a bar reads the room and not talk to themselves. Check them out when you're in the West End.

Love the Caribbean vacation feel, -but also almost feel like a Floridian retirement retreat. The vibes and 70s decor will take you back in time. Outstanding drinks. Creative menu, and generous with proportions. Excellent servers and service. check out the ever-changing menu with some classics and modern twist. Also plenty of mocktails-but those of us who won a party responsibly

View of the bar. Can't miss the neon alligator!

Strangers in Paradise is a fantastic addition to the Lee& White food hall. The uptick in foot traffic on the grand opening night was sizable. The drinks offered are new and elevates twists on classics. From your Miami Vice to your Pina Colada and even new inventive drinks like a Pink Flamingo. The vibe represents a 1980's/ 1990's south Florida resort hotel bar. With the garage door open and under the glow of the neon alligator, you certainly feel like you're in SoFlo! Drinks range from $13-$16 and craft beer from local ATL breweries are $6/$7. From the Lady Bird/ Ranger Station hospitality group, Strangers in Paradise is sure to make us all Friends in Paradise by the end of summer!

Such a fun bar with cool decor and chill vibes! Had a Birthday meet up here and it turned out awesome. There were still specials and services was prompt. The bartenders were friendly and fun! There is plenty free parking. The bar is located in the food hall so while they don't serve food, there are plenty of options right where you are.

This is the bar located in the Lee + White food hall, it's right in the front and has a very tropical Caribbean feel to it, there are two conversational sofa sets in addition to seating around the bar. They had two mocktail options the day I visited and it was pretty chill. The service was good, I was greeted by both bartenders and offered a menu without having to ask. I ordered the Sun Pass an alcoholic free drink that was $8. It was electric green with three slices of kiwi in it. It was refreshing, delicious, however it was ice heavy so next time I would ask for light ice. If you enjoy tropical drinks this is your spot.

What a beautiful discovery!!! I have found something else to add to my weekly dose of happiness. This place makes you feel like you are on vacation....the aura of the bar, the open garage , the whole aesthetic made me forget I was in ATL. Terrance was the bartender, and he was the sweetest!!! Since I was feeling vacation-y, I ordered (quite a few) Piña Coladas. They were delicious, I'm curious to know which rum it was made with, cuz it was just the right amount of strong. The overall atmosphere is super dope. You have the nice breeze coming from the open garage concept, the lighting for outdoor seating was perfect too. I am already planning to go back next week. This was such a treat!

This new bar is located within Lee + White football. It's sooo cute and tropical vibes especially with fun cups! I came in a group of 3 and we sat at the bar. The staff is friendly and they have tons of options including mocktails. Terrance was so fun to chat with! The drinks prices are fair considering tons of free parking. I would definitely come back!

Great evening but I was ticketed later for parking. Make sure you scan in for the parking to prevent getting a 85.00 ticket!

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. ,

It's actually hilarious that I've been in this parking lot SO many times for neighboring spots like…read moreLee + White Food Hall and somehow never realized Boxcar was right there! My friend and I wanted to try something different, and when she suggested Boxcar, I literally asked, "Where is that?" She pointed out that it was in the same area we'd been standing in countless times. For anyone visiting for the first time, it is a little tucked away past the food hall. You'll also need to walk up a set of stairs to reach the restaurant, which is worth knowing ahead of time if stairs are inconvenient or inaccessible for you. Once inside, I really liked the atmosphere. They also offer outdoor seating, but with the Georgia heat that day, there was absolutely no discussion--we were sitting INSIDE. Our server was Najah (please forgive me if I'm misspelling!), and she was AWESOME. Such a warm spirit, great energy, and exactly the type of person you'd want greeting you whether it's your first visit or your tenth. Since this was my first time, I asked for recommendations. We started with the Boom Boom Shrimp from the happy hour menu, which is available Monday through Friday until 7 PM. The shrimp? 10/10. No notes! For our entrées, my friend ordered the fish and chips, which she loved--and it came with hush puppies, so really, how could you go wrong? I ordered the Bourbon Bacon Jam Smashburger, and it was cooked perfectly. I don't even remember being asked how I wanted it cooked, but somehow they knew exactly what needed to happen. And that bacon jam?! I LOVE a sweet-and-salty combination, so it was right up my alley. The fries were fire too, but apparently I was feeling a little greedy because I noticed mac & cheese on the menu and decided I needed that as well. LISTEN. I would've been perfectly happy if somebody had taken away everything else and left me alone with that mac & cheese. It was THAT good. Easily 20/10. I actually had to ask Najah who made it because I needed to understand what exactly was happening back there! She told me about the chef, who is Caribbean and from New York, and as someone with Caribbean roots who is also from New York, I may be a little biased--but suddenly I understood why that mac & cheese spoke to my spirit the way it did. I've literally been telling people about it ever since. There's still so much on the menu that caught my attention, including the lamb burger, Brussels sprouts, short rib, and several other dishes. I've included a picture of the menu because there's definitely more exploring to do here. As far as seating, Boxcar seems pretty versatile. There were just two of us, but there's plenty of indoor seating along with bar seating, and I could easily see a group of around 10-12 being comfortable. I also noticed what appeared to be a separate space toward the back that may be available for larger gatherings. Between Najah's wonderful service, the atmosphere, everything we ordered, and THAT MAC & CHEESE, Boxcar absolutely earned a return visit. I've already been bragging about the mac & cheese to everybody who will listen, so now I'm looking forward to finding out what I'll be bragging about after my next visit.

My crew and I love Boxcar! The vibes are always consistent, whether we're sitting at the bar or…read moregrabbing a table. It's a great spot to come with friends, enjoy some good food and drinks, and have a good time. They also have some pretty good happy hour specials during the week, which makes it even better for a weekday outing. Definitely a spot we enjoy coming back to!
