50 Best Wine Bars near Avondale Estates

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

“We tried South End SmokeHouse for the first time today and it was so good! The kids loved the mac & cheese and my husband and I shared a BBQ plate with pork and brisket. We got a lot of food and we enjoyed the atmosphere a lot! Can't wait to try their new location!“

“My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time at Lucian for a last-minute date! It’s truly a unique gem in Buckhead Village.

We greatly enjoyed the peach and cucumber dish and hamachi as our appetizers - the flavors were fresh, crisp, and delicious. For our entrees, he had their rather robust gem lettuces salad and I ordered the duroc coppa - we ate every bite!

The ambience is quiet and relaxed yet lively. We had no issues hearing ourselves talk. The opportunity to peruse their books was a nice touch to an already pleasant evening, with the hostess more than willing to hold onto the book we decided to purchase until after our meal was finished.

Our server, Jerome, was polite, personable, and knowledgeable about the menu, while the restaurant’s sommelier was more than happy to indulge my questions regarding wine pairings.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and definitely recommend Lucian to those looking for a calm, charming, and upscale dinner option in Buckhead!“

“Amazing food . Chill vibe“

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

“I love visiting The Vibrary! Owner, Candace Walker is the consummate professional, creating a warm and welcoming environment for everyone. I’ve held two book signing events for my recently published book, Let’s Chat About Golf there and have been pleased with the outcomes of both events. I highly recommend this venue for an informal visit or private party/event.“

“Love the vibe, menu and service.“

“Definitely our new go-to spot for team dinners. We had a blast. Laura is a phenomenal server. The food was incredible. We had a Vegan in the mix and she had so many options. Don't sleep on the chickpea fries. Or the normal fries, or pretty much anything on the menu. Wine selection was on point, too, and the bartender was so helpful with explaining the wines and what we might like.“

“Went to this venus for the first time to see Melanie Fiona ( also another first) and had an amazing time! She was amazing live: her voice, vibe, energy, and audience engagement was chef kiss. Staff was nice as well. It was busy and crowded ( sold out show) but the staff handled it well. Food was ok for what I ordered but hot and fresh. Drink was good too and as advertised. Will definitely go again!“

“Staff and kitchen are always amazing. First time on the side saddle side. Finca next door is a go-to weekend breakfast + coffee spot, and other Side is just as good. Consistent, friendly service and great food, whichever side of the saddle you mount/dismount 🙃“

“Very good wine bar in lilburn !!!!!“

“This was fine dining at its best!! I thoroughly enjoyed my 5 course dinner. I had the 18oz dry aged stripe and it was amazing. I had it with Asparagus, and the creamiest mash potatoes I had ever had in my life. The calamari with hot cherry peppers for the appetizer was delicious and the lemon drop martini was much needed.“

“Me and my wife were exploring DT Chamblee last Friday, and we knew we had wanted to come to Chamblee & Vine. We tried to come one day on a Sunday, but it was closed. It is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

It is a really cool spot! They have these dispensers where you insert one of their cards, and it'll dispense the wine you want. You can do 1oz, 3oz, and 5oz pours. They have a good selection of whites, reds, and rosés. Me and my wife tried a bunch of different options. And if I am being honest, all were pretty good! You can also buy wines by the bottle if you choose to do it that way. We wanted to try a bunch of different things, so we opted for the card dispenser format. They have indoor seating and outdoor seating. We sat outdoors, as the weather was really nice. The staff are all super friendly too. They asked everyone outside if we wanted water, and they brought us some water carafes and glasses. They also have different types of snacks available for purchase too.

We also happened to come on a night when they were doing trivia...and we ended up winning!! They do a BUNCH of different events, so you are bound to find some type of event you will like.

We will definitely be back here in the future!“

“Was our last day in Atlanta and just wanted some coffee after being up late the night before for a wedding. Staff was very friendly, accommodating, and nice, but we wish we had known that by 11 am on a Monday, they would be sold out of most of their food. Regardless, the apple pastry was solid, but the drip coffee was especially great.“

“Upon a most oppressive summer’s day, when the very air hung heavy and the city seemed to shimmer beneath the relentless gaze of the sun, my lady and I sought refuge at Postino, ere we were to attend an evening performance by the esteemed Mr. Paul Simon.

The place possesses a bar of uncommon charm, one that beckons the weary traveller to linger rather than merely imbibe. Great windows admit the daylight in such a manner that it dances gracefully across polished timber, weathered volumes, and a curious assortment of antiquarian trifles and humble souvenirs. There exists within those walls an atmosphere neither contrived nor ostentatious, but rather one suggestive of memories gently accumulated over many years. It is, indeed, a room calculated to encourage quiet conversation and agreeable contemplation.

It soon became evident that the proprietors regard the bruschetta with no ordinary degree of reverence. What might elsewhere be dismissed as a trifling repast was here elevated by careful preparation and judicious composition. Which reflected quite an expression of the culinary arts.

Alas, the beverages failed to sustain the same commendable standard. They were presented in vessels ill suited to their intended purpose, a seemingly trivial impropriety which nevertheless betrayed a want of exactitude. Most disappointing of all was the Old Fashioned, a concoction that neither offended the palate nor distinguished itself in the least. It was a drink remarkable chiefly for its want of character.

Yet it would be unjust to measure the afternoon solely by the contents of one’s glass.

For there are occasions upon which the true excellence of an establishment resides not in its fare, nor even in its cellar, but in its singular capacity to afford two companions a sanctuary from the clamour of the world. There, amidst shafts of golden light, shelves of venerable books, and the quiet company of forgotten keepsakes, my lady and I passed the hours in easy discourse before proceeding to hear the songs of Mr. Paul Simon.

And though the cocktails may soon be forgotten, that tranquil afternoon shall remain in my memory with uncommon fondness.“

“Es un restaurante muy bello el servicio a mejora y la comida se porta a la altura ambiente agradable“

“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!!!!!“

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

“The food is really good and they have a great wine list. The outside seating is really nice.“

“This is always a wonderful treat! Just had Gingerbread and White Chocolate Peppermint! Excellent on their own, and even more amazing mixed in the same cup! The fire pit was warming up the courtyard, so it’s ready for the cooler weather!“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“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.❤️“

“Absolutely loved Wine Down Wednesday in Colony Square! It has officially become my new go-to Wednesday unwind spot. Definitely coming back to the Upper Room at Colony Square—and a special shoutout and thank you to Queen for the outstanding service and incredible experience! 🍷✨“

“Great food.. falafel in pitta was delicious“

“This is our new favorite date night go-to spot. It’s just SO GOOD in every way! The creative seafood menu is absolutely delicious - you cannot go wrong even if you don’t really know what you’re ordering. Some of our favs have been the Anchovies, Broiled oysters, grilled cheese, spaghettini, fish plate, and pastel de nata. It’s also a very intimate/cozy/warm environment with excellent drinks and wine list. The staff are authentically friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We’ll be back many many times.“

“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!!!!!“

“Had great food and drinks. Our server was Marcus. The ribs and salad were the best we’ve had.“

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

“We have been looking for a great Italian restaurant in Atlanta. We finally found it. Everything was good from soup to nuts. Five stars! ⭐️“

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

“We love The Reading Room! Not only are the pastries and teas delicious, but my fiance and I had our first date and recent proposal here! <3“

“Me and my girlfriend celebrated our anniversary here and we loved our food. The skirt steak was a 10/10 and cooked to perfection. The noise level was still low even though they had live music, so we were able to engage in conversation without being unable to hear each other unlike in most restaurants in Atlanta, so that was a plus. Service was good and very attentive. Overall it was a great place to start off a romantic night.“

“I wish I took a picture of the whole pizza to give you an idea of the size but it’s roughly a medium sized pie good enough for two people with room for more if you are especially hungry. The flavor of the sauce itself is just fine. However, the cheese and basil adds to it and comes together nicely and the crust is perfect. Overall, I enjoyed it but I would prefer to explore other pizza options in the area before coming back.“

“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“

“Stopped in to try a guava espresso tonic, one of their seasonal offerings of the moment. It was delicious, the guava taste was prominent and somehow went perfectly with the balance of the espresso on the back end, a perfect riff on an espresso tonic.

They have a wide variety of baked goods here, all with the allergens clearly labeled on a board. There is actually a huge menu here between staple drinks, employee picks, specials of the moment etc. a decent amount of seating between six communal tables, a 5 seat bar space, several two top tables and a couple of comfy chairs. I stopped by in the afternoon and had no problem finding a place to sit.

A great option for coffee, to go or to stay in this part of midtown.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“This review is for Anthony.
He was polite and attentive. We attended breakfast and brunch a couple days and he was reliable and consistent.
The breakfast buffet (2026: $36) offers a made to order omelet station, waffles, pancakes, bacon, hash, pastries, and more. Sit down and order option is available also. Located on the atrium level of the Marriott marquis.“

“I'm so happy to have a whole foods that is close to where I live in the Decatur area.
The hot bar is really good and they have a nice variety. The staff is very nice and the Amazon drop off point is really nice as well.
Recently all of the refrigerators were out which impacted the hot bar and other things in the store.

Also there have been a few power outages and system outages that has disrupted service a few times.

Outside of that parking is plentiful and the staff is always kind.“

“My daughter thoroughly enjoyed herself on her birthday! My mother and her best friend also had a great time and enjoyed the experience. She was able to order her favorite tofu meal and was treated to a special birthday treat. My mother enjoyed her chicken meal and the bestie enjoyed her salad with chicken. Thank you for a nice afternoon!“

“This review is overdue!! Our family’s first visit was February 2023 - we enjoyed the cocktail we ordered, the meal and dessert afterwards. The service was second to none! To be honest, the after dinner coffee was amazing and the best in the business(for me). Freshly brewed and strong!

We went back a few more times to celebrate special occasions, most recently, this past Friday(July 17). With eight in our group, service was still on point - shoutout to our server extraordinaire: Anamika! Everyone got their cocktails at the same time for the group 👍🏼 various appetizers came out at the same time for the group 👍🏼 entrees came out at the same time for the group 👍🏼 we ended the evening with dessert and coffee. Of course the after dinner coffee was as amazing as always 💯!

Thank you to Chef Nan(and all the staff) for the dedication and commitment, in providing us with a place of high quality dining. The food and service are consistently top notch, the warm atmosphere and elegant decor are welcoming.“

“Great food and fantastic service!“

“Great coffee/bar spot. Matcha a little sweet, coffee options are best (cortadito is phenomenal!). Outdoor space, cool interior, indoor outdoor concept with garage doors make it a great space to work out of

Try the breakfast burrito (a little heavy bc of the cheese but great overall).

Would suggest they turn the music down just a bit as it’s very hard to talk/think when near the speakers half of the room“

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