12 Cocktail Bar is a speakeasy-style establishment located in the PCM tower, offering a variety of classic and signature cocktails priced between $15 and $19. The bar has a dress code and is accessed via a special elevator, providing views of the Atlanta skyline and the PCM tower rooftop. The ambiance is described as chill with great vibes and music, creating a relaxed environment that many visitors appreciate. Recent guests shared that the atmosphere is beautiful with light music in the background and enjoy the friendly service, especially from staff like Eric, who was noted for being very knowledgeable and kind. The bar does not serve food, but there are restaurants located downstairs at Ponce City Market. Parking is available through PCM's paid parking options. Visitors mentioned that the place offers great cocktails at an amazing price, especially compared to other Atlanta spots, and that the calm atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for a laid-back night out. During busy holiday seasons, the experience remains enjoyable, and many find it a must-visit for a relaxed yet fun evening. Finding the location can be tricky, as the back entrance by the Ponce Market elevators no longer exists, so guests should ask staff for directions to the rooftop elevator near Anthropologie.
Recently, guests enjoyed fun cocktail classes where they learned how to make four different cocktails with knowledgeable and friendly bartenders. Participants appreciated the experience of making their own cocktails behind the bar and having a great time. Some visitors mentioned that the view of the Atlanta skyline adds to the special atmosphere, making it a memorable spot for celebrations like milestone birthdays. However, some noted that climbing a dark stairway to access the bar can be a bit challenging, and there is a suggestion for snacks like pretzels to help soak up the alcohol after drinking. Despite this, many plan to visit again, valuing the friendly staff, good prices, and unique environment. Overall, 12 Cocktail Bar offers a great mix of views, good drinks, and enjoyable experiences.
