50 Best Wine Bars in Atlanta

“5 stars all the way through. Exceptionally delicious food in a cozy atmosphere.
Lucian Books and Wine is truly a gem in Atlanta. The food is consistently incredible, with a thoughtful menu of small plates that highlight fresh, seasonal ingredients. On our most recent visit, the standout dishes were the crisp polenta with black truffle perfectly crispy and rich, and the pappardelle with pork ragu, which was deeply flavorful and comforting. The oysters are always impeccable, fresh and beautifully presented. Service here is just as impressive: attentive without being intrusive, with dishes coursed and paced perfectly to let each one shine. An elegant and delicious experience every time.“

“This place is legit on Funk Fridays. Loved the outdoor seating area and the staff was super informative and friendly. The grazing board was delicious and unique in the arrangement of cheeses and meats. Great ambiance. The flies got a little crazy gathering around your food and drink if you sit outside. So be sure to get a table fan to keep them away if you sit outside, as that was helpful for us! We loved the funky wine flights and the great selection of wine! The side saddle burgers were juicy and delicious as well. Unfortunately the chicken wings left a lot to be desired in terms of texture and flavor. The green chimichuri sauce they top the wings with was too oily and it just seeped into and overpowered the wings.“

“Everything was amazing! It's been a while since I've had good food in the city! Try the spreads sampler!“

“City Winery Atlanta is an exceptional venue for music lovers, especially for those who appreciate an intimate setting for live performances. The layout allows for close proximity to the stage, so you can truly connect with your favorite artist.“

“Always a pleasure coming to Boxcar between the food, atmosphere, and staff it makes for a pleasant experience.

I had the braised beef short ribs that came with mashed potatoes and collard greens. The meat was super fork pull apart tender, mashed potatoes well seasoned, and collard greens like somebody’s Grandma was making them in the kitchen.

My wife and I also had the collard greens cheese dip and the Kung Pao Brussel sprout for an appetizer. Both appetizers were delicious and more than enough for 2-3 people.

If ever at the West End, going out for a date night, or looking for a place to grab a meal and chill before taking a short walk on the beltline please checkout Boxcar they won’t let you down.“

“Great food and drinks at a higher price point. Service is exceptional. Everyone here knows their stuff and really makes you feel like a welcome guest. This is a place to come and know you will enjoy your time and feel taken care of... Interior vibe is beautiful and elegant, but not stuffy.“

“Larakin is by far my favorite wine bar. Great vibe and love sitting outside lifted up from the street. When I’m there it feels like I’m at European bar enjoy my walkable urban lifestyle. Everyone who works there is so friendly and knowledgeable. You should definitely add Larakin to your afternoon / evening roster of places to meet friends or hang out and enjoy a good book.“

“This is our favorite place to stay in Buckhead. The rooms are spacious, modern, clean and comfortable. The staff is outstanding! Brandon and the staff from valet, the front desk, the restaurant, to the housekeeping staff are all so friendly and accommodating. We unexpectedly needed to extend our stay. Brandon and staff handled this seamlessly for us. We could not have better service and look forward to our next stay.“

“Amazing food . Chill vibe“

“Great place to go before a game. I refuse to drink alcohol out of a plastic cup (yes, I'm a total alcohol snob), so this a perfect place before a Braves game. Ayden was great, right on top of everything. Flight #11, the Spanish wines, I highly recommend.“

“Above Expectations, quality superb 💯“

“Great food! Definitely worth seeking BettleCat out when in Atlanta!“

“Of course I would recommend VinoTeca. The employees are so knowledgeable about worldwide wines. If you’re new to tastings this is the place to go to get started.“

“Great neighborhood bar where “everybody knows your name”!“

“Really good food and a pretty good price too. Though, one time we ordered food, then after ordering, we had an emergency we had to leave for. So, I let the staff know that we wanted that food to-go. They brought us twice the amount of food of the same order. One for dine in, and one for to-go and we got charged for both. Might've just been a miscommunication, but still.“

“The food was amazing! Kimani Jackson was so awesome and attentive to all the customers! Will definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“Great food.. falafel in pitta was delicious“

“I love this place. Great food, atmosphere and a great wine list. I am from Michigan and I keep coming back when I am in town.“

“Delicious Italian cuisine. Great atmosphere and the service was perfect.“

“The pizza was awesome. My 8 years old had a whole 12inch pizza. By the time we were finished we order two more to go. I recommend this restaurant. Counter top dinning was cool and intimate and Sarah, the cashier was hospitable and exemplary of great customer service. We will return soon.“

“I don't know why the other reviewer, SS, is lying about the kitchen never being open. I go there every other day between 10am and 130pm and have never, ever been told the kitchen was closed. They make my special order breakfast sandwich perfectly for me every time!

I assume SS showed up a few minutes before closing when they were told the kitchen was closed and wanted to vent their frustration, but that doesn't mean they should make up stuff about a business.

I am glad JavaVino is in my neighborhood!“

“The upper room ATL at Ponce City market is an impeccably well-curated bar. It features an assortment of black-owned liquor and wine brands, a delicious menu and well-thought-out and well-crafted cocktail offerings. The staff is friendly helpful and very proactive.“

“Food was good-DJ was a bit louder than it needed to be but music was good. The biggest issue was the pace of service was incredibly slow—we waited about 30-40 mins after our apps were done before our entrees came out and had to ask twice where they were with no acknowledgement that they were so delayed.“

“In from out of town but treated like a local from the start. Alex was amazing from the beginning. He was the first one to great us and through out the night was super friendly and attentive. If I was local, this would 100% be my local hang. Will visit again when in town.“

“i love this place! we go almost weekly. their coffee is great and their biscuit breakfast sandwiches are PERFECT! i love the vibe of the shop, too, especially when vinyls are available to purchase on the weekends. however, the customer service lacks consistency. there’s only one person who actually smiles and makes it feel welcoming. the others look like you’re bothering them by placing orders. they chat and enjoy each other but when it’s your turn to chat, it’s a different story. i’ll still continue going back but i just wish the customer service was better :/“

“Postino hasn’t let me down yet!

Whether in AZ, CLT or GA - always a great experience with amazing food and service.

Having drinks or grabbing a bite - Postino is a fantastic concept that delivers every time.“

“Love this spot and each pop up is so amazing. Hate I missed the Sex in the City one.“

“Such a vibe! Rooftop was a perfect late-summer breezy atmosphere. I got the Shephards Pie and it was delicious with like a tender pot roast texture to the meat. Also had the Lye Tie mocktail and it was the cutest little refreshing zing. Can't wait to go for dinner because downstairs is SOOOO sexy 😍“

“Everything was perfect! The hostess was nice and attentive. The seating and atmosphere was amazing. The waiter was perfect, they worked as a team and we were attended to frequently. The food was amazing from the appetizers, the main course and the sides. Everything was PERFECT. Appetizer: Calamari Pork Belly Main Course: Dry Aged Ribeye Filet Mignon Sides: Mac & Cheese Mashed Potatoes Brussel Sprouts“

“We celebrated our anniversary here and it was the perfect evening! Our server, Martin, struck the perfect balance of hospitality and professionalism. The ribeye, my favorite cut of meat, has now won my vote for best ribeye in Atlanta. The night flowed seamlessly, and we will be back soon.“

“Delicious food and great service! They make you feel very welcome and prepare everything with care.“

“We tried this place out at Toco Hill this weekend. I was blown away by the food, drinks and service! It is our new favorite in Atlanta! Can’t wait to go back! The GM and the owner came over to say hello and asked how we enjoyed everything.❤️“

“We had a staff dinner and experienced VV’s cooking class. Rina Moreno was our chef providing guidance on the meal’s preparation and techniques to use in the kitchen. A gun experience, wonderful meal and Ms Moreno was a delightful host and guide. Recommend and we will return.“

“EVERYTHING WAS NICE FROM EMPLOYEES TO FOOD! My new favorite place!“

“Love walking over here for solid selections of non-alcoholic & THC bevvies. Dozens of beer selections on draft or solid range of canned craft. There’s a lot of range of wines bottled or draft, but I don’t really drink that frequently. Sake selection is also solid. Can’t sample here since it looks like it’s a package store, but seasoned bartenders usually give solid recs and can help point you in the right direction. They have giveaways frequently on IG and haven’t won one yet but trying (pls pick me)!!! Super chill spot.“

“This place was great! After an experience next door we crashed here and was NOT disappointed. We were greeted and reviewed the menu. Ordered the eggplant parmesan, meatballs, pizza and wine. We sat at the bar in front of the wood fire ovens. Got to watch our meals being prepared and had the most pleasant conversation with the pizza makers. The meatballs were FIRE! They were amazing, wonderful combo of meats and hand made…AMAZING. The pizza was also just the best pizza I have had in a long time. They finish with actual Italian olive oil which took the experience to another level. Then oh whoa almost forgot about their dessert. We ordered the pistachio cake and tiramisu. WOW, the dessert was simply beautiful and perfect amount of sweetness. Everything was fresh and amazing. All the employees there were wonderful welcoming and kind. Such a great place! Will be back for sure!!“

“This place was an amazing vibe. The design is very artistic. The food is great. Those jerk turkey burgers were great. The wings, fries and fish is good also. The Margaritas we sooo good. The owners Will and Johnathan we very personable along with the waitresses. This is my new spot!!!!!“

“Yesterday, we celebrated my wife's birthday with our inaugural visit to this establishment. Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by the host, which immediately created a welcoming atmosphere. Our waitress provided exceptional service, offering a warm welcome and a detailed explanation of the menu to assist us in making our selections. The culinary experience was truly outstanding.“

“Went for my boyfriends birthday, everything was absolutely perfect!! The phenomenal food and service were the best I’ve had in a while!!! The complimentary chocolate chip cookie and vanilla ice cream was an amazing way to end the meal. Evan helped provide a memorable experience for us!! Will definitely be back!!!!!“

“We went to celebrate my daughters 21st Birthday! The greeters were attentive as soon as we entered. Our waiter was phenomenal- Daniel from Italy, and the food was delish. This restaurant sits right on the Beltline, so we were able to take a relaxing after dinner stroll. Would go back again! Thumbs up!“

“So good! We were early for our reservations but they seated us right away. I ordered an eggplant Lazagna which was delicious and I had an old fashioned cocktail that was probably the best I've ever had! Great food and service from Cole , our server!“

“First, let me say that I feel that I am a Pizza Connoisseur. I love PIZZA and I love seeking out great pizza places. With that being said... this place absolutely ROCKS! I wasn't for sure, before eating there, if this was just going to be another pizza place with just okay" pizza. However“

“Very courteous staff , delicious cocktails & wine . We ordered the stuffed chicken dish ( I forget the name) and it was excellent ! Tender, juicy and flavorful . We also ordered the white chocolate mousse for dessert which was great. There's a live singer that sings a variety of old hits and it's really terrific during dinner! Very relaxing and enjoyable evening!“

“Great atmosphere, service, food is delicious and clean environment. Military Discount available.“

“Everyone in our group of four ordered something different, and all thought their choices were very good. The service at the beginning and end was extremely slow in that our waiter was nowhere to be seen. We had to ask another employee to let him know we were ready to check out.“

“Great food and fantastic service!“

“We were lucky enough to stumble across this little gem while traveling through Atlanta this past week. Great customer service, amazing food and drinks. I’m definitely returning next time I’m in the area!“

“Delicious food, fun atmosphere, great service. Highly recommend!“

“The staff goes above and beyond! Definitely have to ask for Lauren or DJ. They're the best bartenders by far. Highly recommend.“
