50 Best Cocktail Bars near Doraville

“My first time here and it was a great experience. The owner was kind and patient, entertaining my million questions about the menu. He let me sample the chicken curry, goat curry, & even the fish & eggplant fish dish he made for staff lunch. The curry was delicious but too spicy for my tolerance level. I got the lamb kabab kati roll, garlic teriyaki wings & fried rice (lunch special), & vegetable samosa. Everything was made to order so it's hot and fresh. The kati roll was like a foot long. The flavor wasn't what I'm used to but I still inhaled it so no pics. I was too full to eat the rest. My only complaint is how hot and small the place was so it's not ideal for dine-in. Come with an open mind if you never had Deshi food before.“

“The place was very cute and fun. The hostess was great and pleasant upon arriving. We didn’t make any rsvp on a Wednesday night. At first I was a bit confused if we need to or not. We went ahead and went anyways. Lucky they did accept walk in. The bartender was awesome! The only thing I wish they had was a small appetizer of food because we got a bit tipsy after couple drinks in. That food would have helped a bit. But overall amazing experience!“

“Man, what a sandwich! The menu choices aren’t super out there, but neither are they what you’re expecting. Fun and damn delicious!

The seating is adorable and tidy. The staff was friendly and efficient. Avondale’s lucky to have this place.“

“Great tacos, even better empanadas, and superb margaritas!!! Cute lil spot on the beltline and had fun at Beyonce trivia night!!“

“The Best Smoked Scotch Old Fashioned I've ever had. Thanks Jay!“

“First time there last night for a night cap date. We love the atmosphere and the decor is breathtaking. So many drink options. which is great. I look forward to returning in the future. I'll try the bar snacks next visit. Thank you for great customer service and the experience.“

“Came here to kick off my best friends bachelorette and it did not disappoint. The service was amazing, Frannie was our server and she was excellent even took the time to memorize all of our names. We all ordered different plates so that we could share and try everything and every single thing we ordered was delicious. The duck deserves an honorable mention, it was cooked to literal perfection. The cocktails were delicious as well. Atmosphere was very neat. We will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Went to this place wanting to love it which speaks a good bit for how big of a letdown it was. Night started out great host was super friendly came to pick us up from 9 mile station, once got in the bar god first round of drinks and that's where it started to go south. First round was fine no issues, ordered second round and it took almost an hour to get drinks, so once second round came out went ahead and ordered third knowing how long it was taking (was told bar was backed up due to a bachelor party that showed up of 5 or 6 people and there was probably only 20-30 people in the bar so didn't really make sense given the number of people on staff) second round I had heard about how the bartenders will make you a drink based off your taste which was the main appeal to this place ,so first drink was a maple old fashion, so second drink I told them I wanted to get something else based off maple.....they served me the exact same drink with a different brand of rye but added a $3 freestyle upcharge....finally had enough waiting after 2 and a half hours and only getting 3 or 4 drinks and actually went up to the bar to ask for the check since had gotten really burnt out on long wait times and the long stretches of I just want another drink....overall last drink was by far the best and would have liked another but the speed of the service at that point had totally killed the mood. Place 100% does not match the vibe they are trying to present so highly recommend going elsewhere which is sad because loved the concept“

“Nice atmosphere, excellent service“

“The Best all around! Food, atmosphere, service, all The Best!“

“Dominique was our waitress and was so knowledgeable. She answered all our questions and made great recommendations. Food was amazing, it had good flavor and steaks were very tender. The only thing that didn’t make sense is the dress code considering one hostess has visible tattoos (girl power) and another one had on a midriff-shirt.“

“This bar is such a vibe! The decor is awesome - pieces from a local church that was burned down, blessed by monks. Very comfortable vibe with amazing cocktails. Our bartender Adam was incredibly knowledgeable and made amazing cocktails. James, the GM, came by and gave us more details about the history of the spot and decor. I would have never guessed they’ve been open for a week. Highly recommend checking it out for at least a cocktail or two!“

“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.“

“I love love this restaurant. I was at the bar and Gill was so awesome. He made my experience a 10/10. The lamb kabob is to die for. The price is very reasonable. Can't wait to visit again. Shout out to Gill at the bar (hope I spelled his name right)“

“Great experience! Best food and service in Atlanta.“

“Food, Cocktails Bartenders and cool DJs“

“I recently dined at Roshambo and had a truly memorable experience. The food was delicious, and the ambiance of the restaurant created a pleasant atmosphere. However, what really set the evening apart was the exceptional service provided by Courtney. Her patience, attentiveness, and deep knowledge of the menu made our date night effortless and enjoyable. Courtney’s excellent service was a standout aspect of our visit. Thank you, Courtney, for making our night so special.“

“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.“

“Great location if you live in the neighborhood or one of the neighboring areas. Parking is limited, so if you can uber, walk or take transit it is recommended. The bartenders are great! They can make pretty much anything with a broad selection of bitters, mixers and fruits at their disposal. They can't make lychee martinis though, but that was a rare ask anyway.

The food is delicious. They are all elevated childhood favorites. The meatloaf sandwich and bologna sandwich are my absolute favorites.

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are very limited. Everything has some type of cheese or meat included in the dish. However, you are able to remove some of them since the items are made to order.

Parking: Very limited onsite parking. Better to park in the neighborhood if you drive to the bar.“

“I have lived in Atlanta many years, and never thought about eating at this fine establishment. I am so glad I did. Our waiter was very attentive, and knowledgeable. The food was amazing, the Miso Sea Bass was amazing.“

“Really cool tucked away bar along the belt line in Atlanta! Heard about this place online and had to go while in town for a couple days. Was in a cool, happening area and loved that it was tucked away in a brewery. They had a DJ going (chill vibes) and the cocktails were great. Very swanky spot! Only downside is they close super early for a bar and it was freezing inside.“

“Good night out with my bestie!“

“Perfect place to meet up with friends and try new specialty cocktails or cocktails on tap. My favorite is getting the cocktail flights to try all the rotating cocktails on tap.“

“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.“

“I'm a photographer who loves hidden gems and this place is such a great hangout spot! I 100% recommend getting the strong lemonade drink they have to offer. Heather was on her 3rd day bartending and she hooked us up with this amazing red sweetener liquor that made the drink perfect. Thanks Heather!“

“Everything we had was delicious, particularly the guacamole and chicken enchiladas! We'll be back soon!“

“Smooth Vibes! Relaxing environment“

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

“Service was amazing!! The food was exceptional!! This place is right next to me and it was on a whim that I tried it and I couldn’t have been more pleased! Chef, you’re a wizard! And to the owner, great staff you’ve cultivated! Will be back!“

“The is yet another hidden gem in the new chic foodie scene of Dunwoody. The sky views of the cities corporate offices makes you feel like you are in Manhattan at an upscale grown and sexy club. The drinks were really colorful and tasty and the staff was super pleasant and accommodating. It’s walking distance to anyone in the Perimeter area and we will definitely be back during the fall weather to enjoy some drinks on their balcony with an amazing view of America’s tallest suburban twin towers, the King and Queen buildings.“

“Loved the space! The food was excellent, the ambience was lovely, and the service was great.

Great spot for a special occasion, date night or satisfying any cravings for italian food.

Worth noting - they have parking at the back and there is street parking, they do have vegetarian options, some solid zero proof mocktail options, inside and outside seating options“

“A million thumbs up! From booking to service to the actual experience, every step of the way was amazing. Thank you so much for making our first group night out in a while memorable!“

“Barrel Room is a nice relaxing place to get a drink. I ordered the Manhattan and a Old Fashioned. Both drinks were made perfectly. Bartenders was very friendly and attentive. I only ordered fries, but there is other bar food items available. There's also a outdoors patio, if you want to enjoy the fresh air.“

“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!“

“OMG! After receiving exceptional service during our stay, I am convinced that the W in the W Hotel stands for Walter :o) From the time we arrived until the moment we left Walter greeted us with a welcome smile and the utmost hospitality. Rest assured, when we return to Atlanta this W Hotel is where we will stay! Of course no one succeeds alone and Lexus was a beautiful compliment to Walter's cheerful demeanor. Thank you both very much for the warm reception :o) - The Weiss Family“

“Enjoy Festive atmosphere during holiday season. Classy cocktails and good food.“

“Bar Blanc is heaven on earth for lovers of the venerable French classic – steak and frites. For a fixed $49.99 price tag, you get amazingly juicy steak accompanied by the traditional bearnaise sauce, superbly crispy fries, a very good baguette, and a salad to boot. It was all exceptional. Since we don’t drink, I can’t comment on the alcohol being served, but the many patrons seemed to be enjoying themselves considerably. While it’s a small bar, the ambiance is charming and somewhat hip. And the service was top-notch. Since they don’t take reservations, I’d recommend arriving early, otherwise be prepared for a long wait. We arrived with a party of nine people and had a great evening. Interestingly enough, I loved the fries the most. The steak was excellent, but the fries were some of the best I’ve ever tried. Thick and very crunchy, just like the doctor ordered. Will coming back very soon!“

“Great spot to come and hang out and smoke hookah

Parking: Park rite outside then come in and have fun security is on point so I feel very safe and the ladies here are top notch bad service is amazing and the play really good music“

“We went on a Thursday afternoon after finding this place on Instagram. We were sat immediately at the bar, London was our waiter and bartender he was absolutely amazinggggg and very attentive. He answered every question we had ! His suggestions were great btw. We will be back“

“Solo date night vibes at Mikata ✨ Spoiling myself with a little bit of everything tonight: started with a glass of Trivento Malbec, then dove into a Baked Salmon Roll and Snow crab Roll (both Marla’s picks – she did not disappoint!). The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully crafted. For the main, I went big with a Shrimp, Lobster, and Chicken Rice Hibachi – packed with all the smoky, savory goodness you could dream of.

To top it off, Marla brought me hot water with lemon and honey to make my own tea. The teapot? Adorably perfect. This is what I call a quality night of self-care!

“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.“

“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!!“

“My wife and I love Mediterranean food so we were excited to try Ela after driving past it several times.

The service was as good as I’ve had recently and the vibe was fantastic.

I had a few of the Negronis which were excellent and my wife enjoyed the Capri Son.

We had the brussels, cauliflower falafel, tamarind-date pork with greens (my favorite dish of the night although too spicy for my wife), the black pepper lamb on a pita, and the Greek donuts.

Felt it was a bit pricey but the service, cocktails, and environment were exceptional.“

“All foods delicious ~“

“Great service. Food was amazing, with nicely size portions. The atmosphere was nice, and elegant. I will be returning!“

“Love all the Storico restaurants...food and service is great... great vibe at Forza!“

“The cheesesteak was delicious, but it's not the authentic "Philly Style"(more like an inspired by chop steak sandwich). I was a little disappointed at 1st glance, but that soon changed once I took my 1st bite. I've tried a few places in ATL, but they had one of the best tasting sandwiches. I would definitely visit again.“

“Absolutely loved our experience at Nostalgia Kitchen and Cocktails! We ordered the truffle fries, wings, jerk lamb chops, soul rolls, and oxtail tacos—and every single dish was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The jerk lamb chops were especially unforgettable, and those oxtail tacos? Game changer. The drinks were just as impressive—highly recommend the lychee martinis, they were definitely a hit at our table. Great vibe, amazing food, and top-notch service. We'll definitely be back!“
