50 Best Cocktail Bars near Hapeville

“Food is delicious and the service is amazing!!“

“This place is delicious! Everything we had was soooo delicious. The brisket sliders and strawberry banana pudding made it worth driving from Columbus. We also had the fried green tomatoes, a garden salad with fried chicken and a side of Mac n cheese which were all good as well. We definitely will be swinging back in when we come back to Atalanta.“

“A jewel of a spot! I happened upon Paper Plane while looking for a “family friendly” dinner spot on Friday. I was so pleasantly surprised when I peeped in for a sec. Well I was welcomed and shown around thinking it looked to Posh to bring a two year old, but the manager said “oh we’re family friendly here come on in”! So we dined on DELICIOUS food with many great Vegetarian options, and Sage the “ticky” toddler cleaned his plate, and had a ball playing in the outdoor space! Terrel provided excellent service for our family and out of town guest, I am a FAN!“

“It was our 35th Class Reunion. We had a good size group of 50 or more people. Even with the regular visitors, the staff was quick as they could be and very professional. We appreciate that!! -B.E. Mays High School Class of 1988“

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

“Ashley is the best bartender! She is such a sweetheart. The drinks were ON POINT! One of the best Espresso martinis I've ever had. Such a neat place & so beautifully decorated! We are from out of state and decided to check it out based on the amazing reviews, it did not disappoint!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“It’s small but intimate, almost like a speakeasy. The drinks are incredible and the bartenders know their stuff!“

“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.“

“Live nearby and finally decided to walk over and give it a try. Had the Sunday fish special gumbo and I have to say, the rue was the most flavorful I've ever had! I've been to New Orleans several times and never had gumbo as complex and smooth as this.

The people were friendly and relaxed. Small neighborhood gem for sure.“

“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.“

“Pleasant and professional staff from beginning to end. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is soulful and peaceful, calming. Although extremely busy, the Chef stopped by our table for a brief moment. Sir Christian Bell "Chef Lucke", what a pleasure; he is an exceptional young man. Thank you for making my birthday, a wonderful day with family, friends, food and fellowship, end on a very high note ! Our Rating: 5 Stars Plus! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (+ ) Our Recommendation: We recommend Oreatha's at the Point very highly, without hesitation or reservation.

“My husband and I was looking for some place new to go for dinner and i found this place on the internet. We had never heard of it and it was close to our home so we decided to check it out. The set up is nice. I believe there are 3 or 4 dinning rooms. The staff was really nice and very attentive. We didnt make any reservations which they do prefer but they sat us still without a wait. The drinks were really good and they did not hold out on the amount of alcohol. Now the dinner. OMG Dinner was off the chain. I tip my hat off to the chef. I had the Honey Glaze Salmon and my husband is vegan so he had The Smoked spinach Asparagus Mashed potatoes and Brocolini. When I tell you this had to be the best food with so much flavor. We were more then pleased. The only complaint we have is the music got really loud. If couldnt hear each other even if you are sitting right next o each other. But other then that I will definitely return and I must say I am adding this to my list of best restaurants in Atlanta.“

“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)“

“Lots of great art to look at on all 3 floors, cozy spaces to sit and enjoy the mocktails, and ambiance is on point. Mocktails are very flavorful but a little pricey, I spent 20 bucks (after automatic tip) on 1 drink. Other neighborhood bars serving alcohol are cheaper. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.“

“Food, Cocktails Bartenders and cool DJs“

“Amazing Food!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“My fiancé and I are regulars at McCray’s formerly the Baxter. The food is very good. The salmon and Buffalo sandwich are our go tos. Atmosphere is great there are tons of TVs to watch any game you can imagine. We love the servers Kenny and Mary and they always take great care of us! However, we don’t like the new outdoor seating QR code ordering. The food comes out slow/wrong this way. And also we enjoy the live music they often have but it’s usually WAY too loud like can’t even hear someone sitting next to you.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Smooth Vibes! Relaxing environment“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere. Enjoyed the food and games!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Honestly, I was surprised. We were in Summer Hill trying to get dinner somewhere else but they couldn't squeeze us in, so we ended up at Southern National. The food was SO good. Great variety, fresh ingredients, flavorful. The drinks and wine selection are spot onz and we've always had great service. We've added this to our regular rotation.“

“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“

“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.“

“The pepperoni butter that comes alongside three little rounds of fry bread has gotten so popular that Banshee now sells it by the pint for $10. But that’s not the only delicious innovation coming from the kitchen run by the executive chef Nolan Wynn and the chef de cuisine Ben Lee. They grill habanadas, the fruity heatless relatives of habaneros, tiger-skin style and add puffed rice and black beans.“

“All foods delicious ~“

“Food was amazing and our waitress Ashley was so Attentive and sweet!“

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