50 Best Cocktail Bars near Smyrna

“I love Aunties House! I came to watch the fight. The vibes were flowing, I had a lychee martini (HIGHLY RECOMMEND), and the service was great. Food is *Chefs kiss. Count on me becoming a regular! The owner AJ made us feel very welcome! Thank you Aunties House ❤️“

“We went in dubious of authenticity. NOT DISAPPOINTED! We sat at the bar and ZOYA took GREAT care of us. Food was as as good as Arizona where we came from. Fresh tortillas and some heat to my carnitas. Great salsa as well. Thanks!!!😊“

“This neighborhood treasure in Smyrna Village is a great afternoon experience. The variety of bourbons, vodka, tequila etc is amazing. So many choices. Not sure what you want, the master mixologist will help you choose the beverage that will suit your taste. There is indoor and outdoor seating. This is also a cigar bar. If you are looking for a smoke-free experience, there is outside seating or you can go into their smoke-free area. Their sister wine store is just up the walk way. If you want the best of both worlds, sit at one place and enjoy the fruits of all. It is an amazing experience. If you have never tried a smoked drink, the display is a show within itself. Make your way to have a fun afternoon or evening as a date night or just hanging with friends.“

“The service was top notch and the food was good. I love the healthy, low carb options on the sides menu. Also love that healthy options are available on the kids menu. We will be back.“

“Got to do something about the chairs. Every time someone moves a chair it's like running nails on a chalkboard. Tonight was our 3rd visit, can't fault anything but the chairs screeching.“

“July 05, 2025 Greetings, This evening, I had the opportunity to celebrate my 40th birthday, and to mark the occasion, my partner and I chose to dine at a fine dining establishment in downtown Atlanta. Regrettably, after we visited your downtown Atlanta location, it became clear that my hope for an outstanding dining experience was unlikely to be met. Upon our arrival, we had to wait despite having made a reservation several hours earlier. Eventually, we were seated at a table no larger than a nightstand. I immediately observed that, unlike the other tables, the candle on ours was unlit. This should have served as an indication of the service to follow. Once seated, we were presented with the menu and asked for two sweet teas. Soon after, we placed our orders. After waiting twenty minutes, we realized that our drinks had been forgotten. We subsequently reminded our waitress that we had ordered two sweet iced teas. After an additional ten minutes, our drinks arrived. Fifteen minutes later, our food finally arrived. Upon its arrival, I noticed a sticky substance around the $75 steak I had ordered. After considerable effort to cut into it, I tasted the meat and found it to be overcooked—its flavor reminiscent of a meal unintentionally left on the grill by an intoxicated cook. It was unsatisfactory, and I requested a remake. At this point, we had spent over an hour at your restaurant, and the staff began cleaning up. Finally, around 12:05 a.m., the re-cooked steak was brought out. Although it was an improvement over the first, it still did not merit the price of $75. Given that my potatoes were cold and the minimal ice in my refilled iced tea had melted, I opted to forgo the steak altogether. My partner, who is more willing to accept mediocre service, encouraged me to take the steak back to the hotel, which led us to request a to-go box. Ten minutes later, we received a small cardboard box, barely big enough for my food. Further, we were not offered anything to carry the sauce in, utensils, or even a bag. Shortly after, we received our bill, which totaled approximately $195.00, excluding gratuity. At that moment, I was overwhelmed with emotion and informed my partner that I needed a few minutes outside to collect my thoughts. I found it challenging to rationalize $200 for a meal arguably valued at $20 and customer service worth $10. Despite my objections, my partner insisted on refraining from discussing this matter with a manager. He wanted to avoid any conflict on my birthday. While I appreciate his noble intentions, I possess a strong aversion to inequality in any form. The treatment we received in an establishment that professes luxury and exemplary customer service was inadequate and perhaps a sign of your treatment towards Minority LGBT customers. We deserved a better experience. Although my birthday weekend was great, this experience was horrible. I am genuinely disappointed with my visit to your Atlanta location. I would have had a more satisfying experience at a more casual establishment, such as Texas Roadhouse, for a fraction of the costû. Sincerely, Gregory A. Reid Jr. Brandon F. Williams“

“Super cool speakeasy in Colony Square’s food court (past the restrooms). We went without a reservation right when it opened (around 5pm) and were able to be seated quickly. They have an extensive menu of drinks, with detailed descriptions and names of the creators of each drink. I got the Tampa cocktail, which was pretty strong (our waiter suggested we mix in the pina colada foam). The ambiance was super cool — very retro, with different posters and art hung up to match the vibe, as well as a dance floor in the back. Service was good, although a bit slower than expected.“

“Nice atmosphere, excellent service“

“This was a great experience with extremely delicious food! Sasha was phenomenal and really explained the flavoring for each dish and drink down to the tee!!!!

I strongly recommend this restaurant for a date night or even solo dinner!“

“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. ❤️“

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

“My wife and I stopped by the Third door on Saturday May 7th. It’s a very cool place and the band was great. The hostess told us about the nominal cover charge and that they have table service for drinks. We sat down with a couple my wife knew and waited for a server. 15 minutes in and no server in sight? My wife goes to the bar to order and was told to wait for a server. OK, 10 minutes later here she comes. Takes our simple order and again we wait, and wait. 10 minutes later we are served. I don’t understand what would take so long. Every other venue at the square is very attentive. I would have spent $75-$100 on drinks but never got the chance. I’ll go back one more time but if it’s the same experience, never again.“

“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.“

“Ever since I started watching my new favorite show, Evil, and saw Kristen constantly drinking canned margaritas, I’ve been looking for the perfect one. All the margaritas I found were full of soda water, malt liquor or sugar - Except Post Meridiem. Their margaritas have three ingredients (silver tequila, real lime juice, orange curaçao, and zero sugar/sweeteners). I immediately ordered three packs online. Since I received them, I have drank one of these tiny cans of perfection every single night after work, and I’m about to order a case and start trying out some of the other drinks I have read rave reviews about. Can we talk about these amazing cans?!? They are steel-walled (recyclable), sturdy and the most beautiful design. The can completely elevates the experience. I plan to have these cocktails around all summer and will pack them when we go on vacation. They are even perfect for sticking in your purse to go to the movie theater. I’m a former bartender (and working mom) and am happy to say I’m done buying bottles of liquor, liqueurs, bitters, mixers, etc.
Post Meridiem: Please create a loyalty program to earn points for discounts, offer free shipping with 4 packs, or case discounts. And create a Negroni (w/ London gin) and a good dirty martini. Thank you.“

“Food, Cocktails Bartenders and cool DJs“

“Rumis is one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta. Everything on the menu is outstanding. This time we got the Waygu kabob and it was the best thing I’ve had there though my go to is the lamb kabob. The rice with the raisins is my favorite thing in the menu. Service is also top notch. They are always buzzing around the table and they treat you like a fine dining restaurant. If you want to hang and eat at the bar, also a great option when traveling and alone. I’m a Rumis fan boy for sure.“

“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!“

“This little place was awesome. We had the best bartender I’ve had in a long time. Timber was awesome, she was very sweet and nice and made our evening great. Wished there was a lil more food selection. But the drinks and atmosphere was excellent. Would highly recommend going there.“

“This was my second time eating here and the first for dinner. As expected the service was fantastic - everyone was helpful and kind and prompt - and we didn't have one bad bite! We started with appetizers - blue crab tostada, beets and burrata, cajun hand pies, and the red snapper crudo - all delicious. I have a shellfish allergy so they made sure there was no cross contamination (I'm ok with it around me I just can't ingest it). For our meals we had the Pan seared red snapper - I cleaned my plate! The Dry aged Duroc Pork Chop - my husband loved it and I had a bite or 3 and it was cooked perfectly. Another friend also did the red snapper and loved it and the fourth person had the chicken piccata which I will also order next time! The brownie we shared at the end was the perfect end to a wonderful meal. The cocktails were on point too! I highly recommend Roshambo! GO! You won't be disappointed!“

“My friends and I just spent a fantastic evening there on Friday night and the Alice in Wonderland atmosphere made it an evening to remember. The Small Plates we shared were all delicious. I highly recommend the fried artichokes, the braised short rib dumplings (they are to die for!) and the scallop risotto! I couldn’t end this recommendation without mentioning the cocktails! From the presentation to the taste, you simply must try them all!“

“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!“

“One of a kind hospitality and vibe.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

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

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

“Above Expectations, quality superb 💯“

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

“Seven ladies from Memphis went to Frost Bistro 4/5/2025 for dinner. The atmosphere was a vibe. The service was great! I took a picture with Rasheeda Frost! She is more beautiful in person!! She was kind and approachable! I love me some Rasheeda Frost!!! Our waister was Tyra. She was absolutely amazing! She suggested the sautéed brussels sprouts with my honey hot lamb chops. The sauteed brussels sprouts were a hit! My lamb chops were so moist and juicy! My food was delicious. I also had a wellness drink. It was perfect! Everybody enjoyed their food. The food was fye!! I would definitely go 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!!“

“Wonderful meal! Loved the new decor and menu! 👍🏻👍🏻❤️“

“The hostess Berry is amazing! In the midst of overcrowding and reservations being seated late, she made sure to keep everyone updated on the status of their tables. I dont remember our server's name, but he made sure to have the restaurant join in on a happy birthday shout out to my 18yo! Despite the crowd, the food came out in a reasonable time! They dont have a kids' menu, nor kid size portions. An overall great experience nonetheless!“

“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.“

“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.“

“As a (virgin) first timer in this establishment my overall experience was great. Trent is “ simply a breath of fresh air “ the food was fresh and very good. The brunch punch was great!!
I not only recommend it but I will be returning?“

“Amazing staff and fabulous food and beverage options. Thank you for hosting us! Looking for a place to host a birthday gathering, team outing, or event. They have options for you.“

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

“I came here for the first time and didn’t know what to except, but this place absolutely exceeded all of my expectations. The customer service is out of this world, and don’t even get me started on the food; so fresh and so delicious, you can tell the ingredients are positively top tier. The ambience is amazing as well, and I can truthfully say, this is my new favorite place to go. Try it out, you won’t regret it!!!“

“Incredible quality creativity presentation and authentic Japanese dishes. Over the top omakase and just brimming with freshness sashimi and sushi. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Great food great staff!!!!)“

“Amazing food! Great atmosphere. Fabulous Irish waiter. ❤️“

“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.“

“This was the BEST meal I had in Atlanta! Our waitress and staff were phenomenal! I highly recommend this place!“

“privileged to join a private tasting and I have been nothing but excited about the upcoming opening of Sebastian! Their time is A+ and this will be one of the most in-demand restaurants in the city! cant wait“
