May Peel Reviews
Hands down my favorite neighborhood spot. The atmosphere is unmatched, the drinks are incredible, and the service is always on point. Huge shout-out to Tyra and Nico—they genuinely make this place feel like home every time we walk in. Nico is fantastic, and Tyra is absolutely elite. She’s observant, knows her drinks, and treats every guest like a VIP. Honestly, she needs to be behind the bar making cocktails ASAP because she’s already a rockstar.

Check this place out! This upscale cocktail lounge inside the Granada Hotel was really fantastic . Excellent lighting , retro decor , super sexy vibe. From the moment we pulled up to the valet and were greeted by Don, we knew we were in for a great experience. Everyone was so nice, Don is a great ambassador to the hotel . He proudly told us a little bit of History and about all of the renovations that they had recently completed .
Was staying at the hotel Granada and came down for a drink before going out on the town. We changed our plans to be able to stay here longer. The gorgeous hostess and the phenomenal bartender were amazing. The drinks were strong and tasted great. However the chips and dip have sat in the back of head for the past 3 days since being there. Next time I get to go to Atlanta I'm definitely going again.
