Dad's is a popular bar in Virginia Highlands. It's listed as a cocktail bar on Google but i…read morewouldn't consider it one, even though they have cocktails. It's more of a regular bar that has a variety of cocktails, beers, and I think wines too. We went on a Friday night and it was packed the entire night. Perhaps it had more of a cocktail bar vibe during the week when it's less crowded. It had a mix of crowds from college grad-looking aged students to people in their 40s. The two cocktails I got were good - the mezcal one and the ATL mule, but my friends got a Mai Tai and Paloma and both were really bad. The Mai Tai tasted like straight up concentrated lime juice. No one could drink it. And the Paloma also had a really strange taste to it.

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. ,

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!

Food came out probably 15 min after and I was ready to dig in. These wings were pretty hyped and with anything popular, I'm always worried I'm going to be disappointed. But OMG these wings are worthy of their hype. The flavor of their sauces is incredible and they hit that desired balance of crispy and juicy. The meat falls off the bone. Tell you what, I'll definitely be back. I've also heard great things about their karaoke nights so that's going on my list as well

This was my first visit to Highland Tap, and I came on a Monday with a friend who visits regularly…read moreand highly recommended it. He specifically wanted to take advantage of their Monday prime rib special, which is just $20. I'm not much of a prime rib person, but I decided to tag along--and I'm really glad I did. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. It wasn't overly loud or crowded, and the décor created a relaxed, comfortable vibe that made for a great dining experience. Now, let's talk about the food. My friend ordered the prime rib and requested it Pittsburgh-style seared. I ordered the steak burger cooked medium-well. Unfortunately, my burger came out a little more well-done than I prefer, so it wasn't as juicy as I had hoped. My friend also felt his prime rib was a bit more undercooked than expected. Neither dish was bad, but they both missed the mark just enough that I'd give the food a 3 out of 5. One thing that absolutely deserves a shoutout was the tomato jelly that came with my burger. It was incredible! It tasted like the perfect blend of ketchup and jelly--slightly sweet but not overly sweet, with just the right balance of flavor. I ended up dipping my fries in it, and it was so good that I'd gladly order it again. It was easily one of the most memorable parts of the meal. What truly elevated the experience was the service. Our server, Sam, was outstanding. He was personable, attentive, friendly, and genuinely enjoyable to interact with. Great service can completely change a dining experience, and Sam did exactly that. Overall, while the food had room for improvement, the atmosphere and exceptional customer service more than made up for it. I'd definitely return to Highland Tap, and thanks to Sam's excellent hospitality, I'm giving them a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

You can find Highland Tap at 1026 N Highland Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30306. The restaurant is in the…read morebasement from street level, fortunately there's a parking lot with free valet parking around back and a private entry. I went to Highland Tap for the first time in probably 20 or so years - I first visited back in the early 90's when I lived in L5P. Some friends wanted to meet here for their Monday Night Prime Rib special - you get a very generous 10 oz prime rib cooked to order with one side. It was interesting and very nostalgic to return to this restaurant/bar that seems to have withstood the ravages of time. The interior is rustic with exposed wooden beams and wood tables - very masculine and old-school and something you rarely see or experience in the 2020s much less in 2026. We were seated without a wait (4 in the party). The dining room first greets you with a bar to the left with the room extending, essentially following the lines of the connected buildings above. There are stairs that lead down to additional seating that's a bit more private all the way in back - it's an interesting space with stained-glass windows. I can't go over the menu as I was singularly focused on the prime rib, something I haven't enjoyed in ages. We were given a sliced Ciabatta with butter. After ordering drinks (Sweetwater 420 for me along with wine and a cocktail) we all started with the French Onion Soup (we called it FOS back in the day) - this was made pretty much exactly as I learned to make it, served in a crock with a floating crouton covered with melted cheese. The flavor was delightful and once again very nostalgic - I do wish there was a bit more caramelization on the onions - but still very satisfying. All four of us got the Prime Rib special with various sides (loaded baked potato, brussels sprouts and for me the sauteed mushrooms). I ordered mine rare and indeed it was. It was a serious cut of meat and well worth the $20. Service was fantastic - I didn't get the chap's name but he was a frequent visitor to make sure our water bottle was replaced and to ensure out needs were met. Great experience.
