    Single Smash Burger & Fries @tiffhuangry

    Westside Motor Lounge filled a void that was pretty uninhabited when it first opened. There wasn't much in the area to eat or drink at in the time. The last time I was there earlier this year, it's definitely been much developed. I have a love-hate relationship with Westside Motor Lounge. My first time here I stopped by after a food festival down the street at Guardian Works and my brand new car was parked in the uncovered parking lot - and of course got hailed on. The hail dent marks of shame are still there on the hood and roof of my car to this day two and a half years later. Their cheeseburger with fries is perfect with a beer - they have a great draft beer selection and whenever I see Lord Grey, I have to order it. They also have a draft espresso martini that seems lazy but I'm not mad at it since it's pretty tasty. The kale Caesar salad is a great option if you're wanting something a bit lighter. Overall, I would probably be back when I'm in the area, especially if they have live music going, whether it's for beer drinking kind of night or a draft espresso martini kind of night!

    At this point, Westside Motor Lounge is my go-to when I want a great atmosphere, strong cocktails, and some of the best wings in the city. I stop by every year for their holiday bar and seasonal cocktails, and it never disappoints. This visit, I tried the Clausemopolitan, which was really good and perfectly on theme for the holidays. Of course, I couldn't come here without ordering wings. I went with the Honey Jerk wings and the Lemon Pepper wings, and once again, they were phenomenal. Consistently crispy, well seasoned, and full of flavor. These are truly some of the best wings around, and they never miss. After food and drinks, I decided to pop into the Echo Room to dance off the cocktails and wings. That's when I learned there's now a $10 cover charge. I don't necessarily mind a cover, but it was new for me, so I opted to hang outside and dance a bit while waiting for my ride. Even outside, the vibe was still good, which honestly says a lot about the space. Overall, Westside Motor Lounge is a solid recommendation, especially if you're bringing friends or visitors from out of town. The indoor-outdoor setup is great, the cocktails are well done, and the food, especially the wings, is consistently excellent. This spot remains a staple for me.

    Came here for the holiday pop up diner! It was so much fun. Good food and drinks. Disco Santa was definitely my highlight and I will be back before the Christmas season is over. I had the shrimp po boy and it was good.

    We came here for the holiday bar. It was decorated nicely but was pretty empty. The drinks were pretty good. But for how empty it was, it took forever for he to get our drinks and seemed like a lot of miscommunication behind the bar. Whoever was dj'ing though was amazing!

    I love everything about WML except for the food. They have got to improve the food experience especially on days when there are big events. Each time I have ordered food I have been disappointed. It's usually cold and not well seasoned at all. This salad for example was drenched way too much in dressing and the chicken bites were cold and hard to chew. Love the frozen margaritas and the vibes here. The service at the bar is fine - nothing spectacular. Super casual space with no dress code. Check it out!

    Met a friend here for a trivia night and had a good time. I've been trying to get out here for an event for some time now, but it just hasn't happened. I will definitely be back though. I arrived a bit late, but was still able to get in and sit down. There was plenty of space, but not enough tables for the amount of people that were present. That is a good problem to have though. They are cashless and the drinks are served in plastic cups. I got a pink Cadillac margarita and enjoyed it. They gave me the option to have tajin around the rim and of course I said yes to that. There is so much space outside for events and activities. I can't wait to come back to experience one of their outdoor events. I liked the decor and setup. It will be nice to come just to eat and have some drinks.

    First time here, and honestly not what I expected. I stopped by for the Pop Up Christmas Bar hoping for a few Christmas "Spirits" and photo ops. This is an indoor/outdoor venue, the outdoor area is very spacious. However, I was immediately turned off seeing children running around, not my idea of a chill night out but I digress. Upon entering the grounds it's not really clear where to go, we just wondered around and finally found the indoor bar area. There was quite a bit of Christmas lights on around the grounds and decor inside the bar area but nothing spectacular. The Christmas drink menu was not very appealing to me, a lot of the drinks were made with coconut or cranberry. It seems they have quite a few specialty events and guest DJs so maybe I'll try them again for something like that.

    Great community space for all types of events. My first visit here was for the Atlanta Vegan Social weekly event & had a wonderful time. Westside Motor Lounge offers indoor-outdoor food, full service restaurant & bar amongst a vibing backdrop. The outdoor courtyard has a wired stage, a beer garden, shuffleboard courts, fire-pits & areas for Food Trucks.

    Late review. I had a ball at their annual holiday bar pop up. Will def check out other events. Great bar, atmosphere and the bartenders are awesome!!!!! Great place to just hang out. I will update my review when I try the food next time I visit.

    So I was here for an event and an event went off really well. There's plenty of space for everybody to move outside, and there's even some seating. It's not a kind of spot where you can bring your own lawn chair necessarily, but they do have patio furniture sprawled throughout. So for parking they do have parking areas. And they have a parking lot as well as a structure. But honestly I would suggest you doing a ride share. Get a lift or an Uber The event that I went to had multiple bars there so there's always a place to get a drink. And to catch some shade! I won't fault the establishment for this but the bars didn't very slow but in all fairness there was a lot of people there that they probably couldn't handle the capacity. So you may be standing in line for a good 15 to 20 minutes just for one drink. It's not like anybody was in a rush but that is something that's definitely noticeable. It was set up very well and it was very clean. They made sure to make it presentable for us. They have several bars and they had a place to order food. The food they had there on the inside was mostly fried foods like bar foods. You may get some chicken wings or a fish sandwich or something along those lines. So don't expect anything fancy but if you've been sitting in the sun and drinking you'll need something on your stomach. The sun was the worst part about it, there was not really much shade. Which if you're trying to be outside and you want that kind of feeling, it's not a big deal. But in the Atlanta area where the heat can get to 95°, it was pretty aggressive and they didn't have that many places that had umbrellas or anything similar for that. That wasn't a deal breaker, but it was just the fact that they didn't have as much shaded areas to go to and there was a high number of people that really didn't do well. But to compensate, they did have free water drums there that you can fill cups with so they did take us into consideration with that so I thought that was really good. A lot of places may charge for water but they knew it was going to be hot so they gave free water. They have food and drink of course, and they also have hookah that they were selling there as well. So you could really just sit there and vibe all day. I thought it was really good, and they had people who had cigars there so they are smoke friendly shop if you're interested in that. Overall I'm going to try to go to more events here, I really enjoyed the environment. Maybe not it 97° outside lol but I thought it was still very well put together. It was peaceful, security didn't have any issues, nobody was fighting, had a great time.

    Happy holidays. They have a special drink menu
    Seema Z.

    They have a pretty cute holiday pop up. A bar. That's tastefully decorated and outside is chic as usual with tables, and shuffleboard. As you can see the prices are steep. Atleast on the holiday menu. I was disappointed to see automatic gratuity added to drink orders from bar. Not sure if it's a new trend but if your prices are steep the owners can afford to pay their bar tenders a living wage and not 'enforce' gratuity. (20%) I will not be visiting again Their social media advertised silent disco which no one at the spot knew about. I had also called to confirm. Very disappointing

    Love love love this spot!! This is such a hidden gem in Westside. The large outdoor event space is perfect for the weekend. They have lots of different fun areas to hang out with friends. The cocktails are awesome and they have great food!! I was shocked a fun spot like this could have such great food. They have an amazing chef we got to meet who created amazingly crafted dishes. Our favorites were the Green Goddess Salad(amazing dressing!!) and the Sticky Garlic Wings!! You need to try this spot Also- dog friendly!!

    Drinks with the puppy, very dog friendly!!
    Ivana S.

    The people that work here are so nice! If i ask for a cocktail not on the menu, they will make it for me. This place is for friends and cocktails for sure! We always bring our dog because he loves the outdoor area with seating and games! Its always a vibe. I do wish they had more live music on the weekends. That would be my only suggestion. The food is good- not coming for the food though its just a small menu and not many shareable items.

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.

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. ,

The presentation of the drink was very nice and it had a good creamy flavor to it. This drink was a nice way to wind down the evening. As someone from TX, I did think the drinks were a bit on the pricey side but it's not surprising with it being the ritz. I liked that the bar had a fun yet casual ambiance and there were plenty of people around. We did ask what time last call was and were told midnight so we didn't hurry to order a second drink. Unfortunately, when we ordered another at 10:40... we were told they had closed which was frustrating.

I'm not a beer drinker, but it looked like they have a variety of beverages in addition to a couple of meal choices. We entered, and everyone was so friendly. After placing our orders, we received a text that let us know to go nearby to the food truck to pick them up. The double burgers were tasty and the fries delicious. Our slushie drinks were exceptional. We enjoyed our meal before walking over to the game. As the ballgame ended, there was a notification that there was a severe thunderstorm and we should shelter in place by staying in the stadium. Since we had a bit of a drive home, we decided to get ahead of the weather and traffic and leave early. Well, we had only walked one block when the bottom fell out. We were drenched. We decided to run back into Wild Leap before we got our car next door. As we got to the front door, a young man (Manager? Shift manager?) whom we had seen working there earlier opened the door and welcomed us in. He immediately grabbed hand towels that were clean and dry for us to wipe off with and offered any assistance he could give us. We went to the restroom and tried to clean up a little, then came back out, handed over the towels and walked outside. It was still pouring out. The same man then insisted on running to his car to get his personal umbrella for us. He returned with the umbrella. My daughter used it as she got our car, then returned it to him. We were so impressed with Wild Leap for many reasons: the food was delicious, the drinks were excellent, and the service was superb.

Parking can be a little confusing at first, but there's a huge parking lot basically right behind (or in front) of the place.

They don't serve food, but they do occasionally have food trucks on site. Wild Leap has two levels, but the lower level is where the party is. The TVs are all down there, and they have some nice outdoor seating. The staff is all super friendly too. Happy to help! While Wild Leap is quite nice, it's super far from my home in Chamblee. I probably won't come back anytime soon, unless someone is having an event here.
