    The upper room is located inside Ponce City Market, in an area with other vendors set up in a large room. The Upper Room offers cocktails, coffee drinks and wine and I'm not sure if they offer food of any kind. I did find the cocktail drinks to be somewhat small in size. They were pretty good and with the two drinks that I did purchase I believe the total was between $35-$37. The customer service was really good, there's a nice area where you can sit down on couches and kind of chill and scope out the area and see what the different vendors have to offer. Again, the drink was really good, but overall for the size and the price not sure if it was necessarily worth it. Especially being inside a location like this, and not necessarily an actual bar.

    Great service! Great ambiance. I also really liked the fact that they were in the epicenter of a bunch of other vendors around so you can kind of explore while you get a drink! They're a black owned bar, that has around 80% of black owned top shelf liquor. I tried the upper room drink. I'd say it honestly tastes like a lemon drop with a hint of lavender and a little less sour. Would recommend! Considering everything is higher shelf the prices aren't bad at all. I've had mid shelf stuff for this same price in BHM so I'm definitely not complaining.

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!

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!

As you drive through the shared lot (with several businesses), look to the left near the valet for Two Urban Licks. The sign is only visible as you exit the lot, so it's easy to miss. Also, parking isn't free--you'll need to scan a QR code or text to pay. We made online reservations to celebrate my husband's birthday and were glad we did. Our server, Robert, was fantastic--attentive without being overbearing. He made great recommendations and was happy to move us from a small table to a more comfortable booth when we asked. They offer a wide variety of alcoholic drinks, but we opted for "Mocktail #2," which was pink, fruity, and refreshing with watermelon, mint, and lime soda. We started with the Chargrilled Louisiana Oysters, which were perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious--honestly, the best I've ever had. The Volcano Roll was also great--generous in size and perfect for sharing. It's listed as having "spicy crab," but I didn't find it spicy at all (a plus for me!). If you want more heat, wasabi is served on the side. For entrees, I had the Salmon Teriyaki and my husband had the Braised Beef. My salmon was perfectly cooked and came with fluffy white rice and mixed vegetables. But he definitely won the entree round--his beef was tender, flavorful, and served with what tasted like sweet mashed potatoes (the menu said red potatoes). The glazed carrots were slightly firm but still tasty. To top it all off, we were served a mini chocolate cake with whipped vanilla icing--soft, rich, and perfect for sharing. The inside isn't the largest resource been to, but has plenty of seating. The atmosphere is relaxed and we saw people dressed up and down. Overall, we had a great experience. Bully Boy is a gem, and I hope you're lucky enough to have Robert as your server!

    I was so excited to try this place. The restaurant is beautiful and the service was really great!…read moreIt's located right in ATL so expect parking to be sketchy (would it be ATL if it wasn't). The reason for 3 stars is that the food was mid (I would love to give 3.5 stars if I could). Some dishes stood out - the peanut noodles, the lobster with the same noodles, salmon crudo, and wings were pretty good too. Everything else was either not great or very mid - the platter, calamari, salmon was not crispy skin and was overcooked, fries, sardine bruschetta. We spent $400 with tip and I only liked or remembered about 20% of what we ordered. Drinks are beautiful and creative. It would be great for a drink and sexy vibes, but I would go somewhere else to eat. I forgot to take pictures (OOPS)

    My friends and I were here for the world cup this weekend, and decided to stop in at the suggestion…read moreof another friend in our group. In short- we are very glad that we did. We placed a reservation online and arrived a little early to fight the ATL traffic, and our table was still ready for us. The standout at this location to us was the service. Our server, Erin was insanely knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were catered to our taste perfectly. I had the chicken, which was seared beautifully while still remaining juicy. I also had a cocktail which tasted carefully crafted. We enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant as well, the decor was hip and right in our style. Overall a very positive experience- thanks to erin and everyone working that night for your attentiveness!

    Friends invited us, and they're into the whole tiki aesthetic, so the cocktails and decor are right…read morein their wheelhouse. Meanwhile, we found the whole thing to be a chore. First, I tried to see the menu online but quickly found there are a lot of menus and they change, so you can't really know what they're serving. They had just five entrees to pick from, and none were very appetizing. Each was over-engineered, too. They were good about asking about allergies, but if you're traveling and careful about introducing new things to your diet, maybe this place isn't for you. They do have a steak. At $200, it's made for the entire table. You can't just get a steak, even though they clearly have steak. Frankly, a lot of the menu was just gross. Sweetbreads, steak tartare, veal. We picked a chicken plate with potatoes. The potatoes were fine. The chicken was very dry. I asked for iced tea. "We don't serve tea products" was the response. WTF? And while the cocktail and wine choices seemed numerous, the beer was extremely limited. We just stuck with water. Then there was the service. The staff were polite and prompt, but some of the habits were just deeply weird. They kept coming by and folding our napkins. Like, you get up, use the bathroom (an unmarked door adjacent to the kitchen), come back, and somebody has picked up your napkin, the one you've been touching your face with, folded it with their bare hands, and left it there. Look, servers roll silverware and I'm no germophobe, but we really don't need more people touching my napkin throughout the meal, do we? This carried over to other staff who would randomly stop by to clear plates and wipe the table down while we all had to stop talking, watch them replace perfectly clean silverware with new perfectly clean silverware, and then leave. Always with new people. None of this makes it a bad restaurant. It's probably exactly what some people are looking for. It just isn't for me.

    Now this was a treat…read more I had no idea Little Spirit was tucked away where it is--I usually frequent Delbar just up the street--so stumbling upon this spot was such a pleasant surprise. I know the word gets overused, but it truly was a whole vibe. What I loved most is that it's the kind of place where everyone feels welcome. There's no pressure, no strict dress code--just a come-as-you-are energy, and people genuinely receive you that way. Within five minutes of being there, I already felt comfortable. Everyone was so friendly--the bartenders, the people around us, even the random interactions felt warm and easy. The space itself is really cool too. They have artwork featuring icons like Prince, Tupac, and Biggie, which added to the overall atmosphere. We ordered the King Peach (I believe it had bourbon--I did take a picture of the menu, though it's a little cut off), and it was really good. Smooth, flavorful, and easy to sip. They're open until 2 AM, so it's a great spot whether you're grabbing a drink with friends, on a date, or even just stopping by solo to soak in the energy. It's one of those places where you can just be. I'd love to make this a regular spot--definitely somewhere I can see myself coming back to at least once a month.

    Little Spirit is a cute cocktail bar in Inman Park. The place is small and can get very crowded on…read morethe weekend but tends to be not as full during the week. They have seating inside as well as some outdoor patio seating with heaters. I love their cocktails here! I haven't had a bad one yet and I was blown away by their slushie. I'm not even a fan of frozen drinks but I got to try their version of an alcoholic Wendy's milkshake and it was incredible. I hope to come back before they switch it out so I can order that. The bartenders are amazing! Super friendly and helpful and they make incredible drinks. Don't forget to check out their happy hour Monday thru Friday until 8 pm (I believe).
