I absolutely love how you can get a nice cocktail in the heart of virginia highland before dinner or something else! The drinks are more upscale than just a beer, so its perfect for a more elevated night. If you go on the earlier side, you can just walk in, but if it's later there might be a line.

I would recommend making a reservation, especially on a weekend at sunset, but they do take walk-ins and you can get added to a waitlist or try to find an unreserved table.

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.

The inside is beautifully decorated with plenty of western themed items and colors and the vibes are consistent even all the way to the "latrines". The menu did not wow me. There were only a few items that stood out but what I did actually order was also just okay. I was expecting the dip to be hot but it was the exact opposite. I think it is maybe better suited for individuals interested in unique items or just hanging out to grab a drink or two but not for a real meal.

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.
