50 Best Cocktail Bars near Avondale Estates

“Such a cute little shop on the strip of Avondale Estates! Small menu but everything on it they absolutely nail! Monday is meatball sub day and it hands down is the best meatball sub I have ever had! I've eaten here several times before. They have trivia on Tuesday nights, they have a drinks menu and a kids menu too. All outdoor seating so I am excited to go here more in the Fall. You can't leave without trying the lamb burger - it is perfection!“

“I really enjoyed myself here on a random Wednesday night. Happy hour all night , with great music , and games. The oysters, smash burger , and biscoff cinnamon roll was sooo good. I will be returning ! It's a hidden gem. Thank you Tay and Brennon !“

“Fantastic vibe, the atmosphere is really cool. Highly recommend the wine list !“

“Just had lunch with friends. The food was incredible and the staff very friendly. The interior design is amazing. If you love yakitori you won’t be disappointed. If you’ve never tried it, you really should. The miso soup is very good and the post meal Japanese melon is a surprising finish to a great meal. Looking forward to trying out the dinner menu. Full cocktail bar on the way! 10 out of 10.“

“One of the best places for cocktails in the city hands down. The bartenders are truly invested in the craft and it shows. They are also great to talk to and discuss mixology which we love.

The food is fantastic albeit smaller portions. The sweetbreads in particular are fantastic. They have that rare quality where even though it's an arm and leg to leave full I don't care because I've enjoyed it so much.

You'll love the place if you appreciate a warm, informal and inviting atmosphere being run by people who are interested and invested in the craft and your experience.“

“The dim lights, light music, beautiful architecture, wonderful wait staff, and the food is one of a kind! Cooked to perfection and not one second overcooked… we enjoyed our waitress Amanda! Very accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu. Will be back many times in the future!!“

“An amazing dining experience in every possible way!“

“We stopped by here during a progressive dinner. We had the pepperoni fry bread and the fried peppers. We wish they would have given us more of the pepperoni butter. It was very good but all gone halfway through the bread. The fried peppers were really good. The service was 5 stars and the atmosphere out on the back seating area was very nice. Would go here again!“

“So many great options. I like sandwiches and order Meatball Parm, White Stripes or Muffalleta often. Fig salad and eggplant parm are special treats. Snickerdoodles can solve world problems.“

“We visited The Red Phone Booth on 6/15 while in town for my cousin’s graduation. What no one knew was that I had just placed my mom on hospice and we had lost a cousin the same day—her sister and my mom’s baby sister were with us. Even in the middle of all that pain, we were shown such kindness. Sophia was amazing, and I even played pool with a member who didn’t know I could barely hold a cue. We didn’t look like what we were going through—but that night gave us joy we truly needed. Thank you for a beautiful experience. We’ll be back. ❤️“

“Went here at the end of a girls night, like an hour before close. All of the staff was so kind, especially our server Victoria and the bartender Shambrae. We had a 777 platter and I got the salmon squid ink pasta. The food was delicious!! I also got the mango sticky rice cocktail, perfect blend of strong and sweet without being sickly. The vibes were awesome, low lit room with great music and really cool decor. Highly recommend for a date night or a fun night out with friends!“

“I’ve never felt the urge to give a Google review after leaving a restaurant, but it’s almost 1 am & I just got home from my first ever visit here, & let me just say that I have missed the Summit Bloom ever since I drank up the last drop. I don’t know what heaven-sent ingredients are in there, but from the very first sip up until the last, I can say with confidence that that was genuinely the best cocktail I have ever had in my life. Thank you Ranger Station, I will absolutely be returning (please don’t ever remove this drink from the menu).“

“Love the patio for coffee in the morning, drinks in the evening are very nice.“

“Dining at Atlas in Atlanta was, without a doubt, the most extraordinary culinary experience I’ve ever had. I’ve been to several Michelin-starred restaurants, but nothing has compared to this. What made this evening so unforgettable wasn’t just the masterfully crafted dishes (which were phenomenal), but the people who brought the experience to life. Chef Money and his incredible team, including Maxwell, Julian, and many others, showed a level of hospitality and genuine kindness that I have never encountered in fine dining. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel not just welcome, but truly cared for. And the food. Every single bite was absolutely unforgettable. Each dish was a perfect blend of artistry, flavor, and emotion. You could feel the heart behind every plate. From the first amuse to the final bite of dessert, I found myself completely immersed in the flavors. Every course built upon the last, creating a seamless, delicious journey I didn’t want to end. This wasn’t just a dinner. It was a beautifully orchestrated experience filled with warmth, creativity, and connection. Chef Money and his team have created something truly special at Atlas. I left feeling full, grateful, and honestly in awe of what I had just experienced. Five stars doesn’t feel like enough. I cannot wait to return.“

“10/10! Food and service is phenomenal! Literally no complaints! Try the egg rolls & the “one love” drink! 🔥🔥🔥“

“10/10! Me and my husband enjoyed everything about this place. The servers, the atmosphere, the food and the drinks. We will be back when in ATL.“

“Had a wonderful experience with my husband at Bread & Butterfly this morning/afternoon for brunch! Food was amazing, atmosphere was inviting and service was impeccable!!! Highly recommend this restaurant and even got to talk directly with the owner/head chef Bill! If you are in the area or even if not make the drive, it will be well worth it!!! Neighborhood where it is located, Inman Park, is very nice as well with lots of walk-ability and less than 2 miles from downtown Atlanta, so make it a day or weekend trip.“

“Such a great random find! We stumbled across Roshambo while looking for breakfast/brunch and decided to give it a try, so glad we did!

The service was fantastic from start to finish. Dom and Jenny were both awesome, super friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations. They both suggested the chicken & waffles, so obviously I had to listen… and they were absolutely right. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, the waffle was delicious, but that sauce on the chicken?! THAT was the star. Soooo good!

My partner ordered the Magnolia and immediately started raving about the grits. Naturally, I had to conduct my own quality-control taste test and I can confirm: the grits were, in fact, GOOD. Creamy, flavorful, and definitely worth the hype.

Overall, such a delightful breakfast/brunch experience, great food, great service, and a really nice atmosphere. Sometimes the places you randomly stumble upon end up being the best finds. Roshambo was definitely one of those. We’ll be back! ☕🍗🧇“

“The only place I've found with a non-alcoholic espresso martini and it was excellent. Their locktail menu in general was great. The vibe inside is sexy and intimate and the music is at just the right level. Great service at the bar and from our server.“

“Amazing food. Excellent, friendly staff. Always a good atmosphere. The short ribs were especially delicious.“

“2nd Visit: Aug 2024 AMAZING. Food, Service, and Staff. It rained, but that did not stop or prevent the stellar experience! Very glad to have returned.“

“Amazing Food!“

“VERY FLAVORFUL, DEFINITELY GOING BACK“

“Perfect Latin fusion fair with creative dishes. Yummy starters include ceviche with passion fruit sauce, empanadas, guacamole and sautéed scallops. Excellent main dishes halibut, herb crusted lamp chops and filet. Healthy options available for vegetarians too! Great salads. Servers and fire dancers were an added bonus because they were fun and very friendly/helpful. (Managers could be friendlier.) Overall restaurant ambiance beautiful and eclectic. $25 fee for bringing our own birthday cake a bit ridiculous! Parking convenient $4 Parking fee expected but offers convenience to customers. Our total experience for party of 8 was amazing!“

“The food and service here are superb, honestly, some of the best in the ITP. The drinks are phenomenal, especially the frozen ones, and everything I've had to eat has been excellent. Quiana is a great waitress, but really, the service is consistently good across the board. Jesus, the manager, does an excellent job of making sure guests are satisfied and taken care of. It's the combination of great food, outstanding drinks, and genuinely good service that keeps me coming back. I'll continue returning for both dinner and brunch. Highly recommend!“

“Enjoyed a delicious lunch today! The Ramen was incredible and service was excellent.“

“I absolutely loved the atmosphere at Jagger Suite! The drinks were good, I had the bombshell and could’ve ordered at least ten more! The vibes were there and what made the experience even better was Mariah!! She was a doll. It’s hard to find good customer service in Atlanta so this really made our night. Thanks Jagger Suite and Mariah for a great experience“

“My group and I always love coming to Jojo’s! It’s become one of those signature places to go after dinner for good music and drinks. The bartenders are consistently top-notch and clearly know their craft. Every drink is made properly, with attention to detail and quality that you can taste. It’s the kind of place that keeps you coming back.“

“We were originally headed to another restaurant but decided to stop here instead—and we’re so glad we did! The food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. The young man who took care of us did an amazing job and made the experience even better.“

“We did a walkin right when Gigi’s opened at 5pm and got a table without a reservation. The servers were really nice and welcoming. We sat outside which was nice but since it was summer here in Georgia there were quite a few flies around so definitely something to keep in mind.

The food and drinks are both creative and interesting and we enjoyed trying different dishes. The prices are pretty high for the portions though so I’d probably come back more for the experience and to try something different rather than for a casual dinner“

“Love the vibe, menu and service.“

“The food, drinks, and atmosphere were all terrific. However, the service is what truly set our experience apart. My indomitable aunt has recently suffered an injury which left her wheelchair dependent. The staff found a way to get her up the ramp, at the perfect table, and back down again (which was quite the experience). Thank you so much for your kindness and willingness to help us as she regains her independence. ❤️“

“Gorgeous interior. Nice bartenders. Black owned. I enjoyed.“

“We had a party of 7 and had a wonderful time and the food was amazing! Be sure to request Marcus R. as your waiter. Definitely 5 stars.“

“Food, Cocktails Bartenders and cool DJs“

“Do yourself a favor and dine at the divine Mediterranean gem of a restaurant called kitty dare . The food, the service, the decor / ambiance was amazing I recommend eating on the patio its so beautiful out their. I huge part of experience that stood out to me was are server asked do we want are apps and main served in courses this is a lost art unfortunately and sadly nowadays your entire order is dropped your table like your at a local golden like buffet this attention to detail is great representation of the experience you'll receive at kitty dare“

“Was recommended to eat dinner here while in town. The atmosphere and vibe was very casual and chill. The staff and service was great and I did not feel rushed. I love the menu concepts of 1 protein for that day. The Caeser Salad was very well done. A great starter. For my Veggie dish I had the roasted carrots. Also very well balanced and presented. Then came the prime rib. Perfectly cooked and carved. I wish I could rate it a 4.5 instead of 4 because my only slight critism was that the meat needed a little more salt and some pepper. The jus was so well reduced and there was a lot on top and under the meat. Wish I would have had the pecan pie, but I was very full from the three coarses. Next time I will atleast ask for a piece of pie to go.“

“Tabby was in town and in usual Tabby flow she was exploring the atlasobscura website and came across The Consulate. As such, we decided to go. We had reservations for 06:15 on a Friday. Arriving about 20 minutes early as traffic happened to be light, we were able to be seated early without any issues. Upon entering the restaurant the hallway decor captures your attention as you focus on the selected hues of blue and artwork placement. Upon being seated we were immediately greeted by Cindy. Cindy arrived all smiles coupled with a huge personality and warm welcome. As this was our first time she took a moment to explain to us the menu selections, geographical inspiration, as well as answer the few questions we had about select items. Cindy’s education of the menu and experience with the foods added to the food deciding experience. Major shout out to Cindy. The ambiance of the restaurant is high energy, captivating and explorative. As you look around the restaurant it puts you in the mindset of being inside one of the classic true to theme castles in an Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider movie. LoL! At any moment Laura Croft could walk in and grab one of the items on display and head out for her next mission. LoL! I decided on the String Beans with a side of Mexican Rice and I was more than satisfied with the flavor profile of my meal. The string beans were flavor stacked with the slight sweet from the sauce and the spice from the peppers. The texture was spot on for a true sautéed experience as well as the portion was perfect… The Mexican rice paired well with the string beans as it provided a texture variation as well as it was seasoned well but not overpowering in comparison to the string beans. This was truly a 10/10 experience. The service, the environment, and the food were all superb. Whether for a personal 2 person dinner or after work friend vibe, The Consulate is truly a must try for any occasion.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Vibe, Always a Good Time My wife and I have been to Fellaship several times, and it never disappoints. The vibe is grown, professional, and perfect for anyone looking to relax and enjoy a good cigar. Whether it’s a date night or just kicking back with the guys, this spot always hits the mark. Great atmosphere, great service—highly recommend!“

“Visited as part of our trip to Atlanta and sat at the bar. The cocktails were fantastic, the atmosphere was brilliant and Carlos was an excellent bartender, he took the time to chat with us and he knew his drinks and made/suggested really nice cocktails.“

“Excellent experience! The jerk chicken is the best I’ve ever had. Food, service, and atmosphere are all very impressive.“

“I love going to Genki! The food is always soooo bomb and the drinks are always on point!! Go and get a spot at the bar and let them know I sent you 🧡 Also go see my girl Halie 🎉 she’ll get you right“

“Best ramen I've had in Atlanta. Very comfortable and quiet spot, highly recommended 🍜“

“Fun new addition to Va-Hi! You know it will be fun when there is a queue to enter at opening. Diverse cocktail list & fun finger-food.“

“Love love love this spot! Highly recommend. Sue and Randal are so welcoming and fun to be around. It’s a nice little walking distance from the botanical garden too so if you wanna have a beautiful day and then end your night with some fun people definitely come to Oscars!“

“This place was magnifique. It was my birthday and their distinguished service was above and beyond anything I expected The food was sensational and absolute perfection. I highly recommend them it was my first attendance, but will not be my last.“

“They were fabulous in service and setting for my book celebration party!“

“This was an excellent dining experience. The service, food, and ambiance was spectacular. So delicious 😋 I“

“Our small gathering on the 6th of December was heavenly. This young lady was sweating and smiling so I had to photo her. The overall experience was great with Service and the Atmosphere was breath taking. The food was exceptional except the desserts were a little dis tasteful, but, I had eaten so much it could be my palate. This is one of the most pleasant experiences that I have been a part of in 2025. Please keep up the momentum. Happy Holidays.“
