50 Best Cocktail Bars near Smyrna

“We loved Propaganda. It has a speakeasy seventies vibe with great music and drinks. A perfect place to hang out after dinner with an amazing decor and cozy feel. You need to check it out.“

“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!!!😊“

“Shout out to Moriah for giving a first time visitor a great experience! Her character and service was very polish & professional. People like that keep businesses thriving—management do right by her. The oxtails, collard greens, and macaroni were good too! I'll definitely return to try others items on the menu.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Was there early so the dinner crowd was minimal. Great drinks. Our server Dominque was absolutely outstanding. Relatively small place. But will be back there Nice bar ample parking. General manager came out to check on us. But was not there long. Perfect dinner“

“Dined here Saturday evening. Small intimate setting with a cool vibe...not overwhelming! Started with a cocktail, See You Space Cowboy. Quite flavorful and spicy...not too spicy, but was taken aback with the sweet citrus punch! Too sweet for my taste with bourbon. The chicken lettuce wraps were a hit...I could've had just that for dinner...so good! Finished with Miso glazed Salmon & Squid Ink Noodles. Salmon not flavorful at all, however the noodles were spot on...perfect!...as they floated in all the juicy, delicious Miso glaze! 😋 The cuisine style is unique; 4 stars for food, 5 stars for service, 10 stars for the ambient atmosphere. Love the experience...will be back!“

“De sus platillos el chile relleno de pato la agua de jamaica deliciosa el pato en mole está espectacular“

“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!“

“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. ❤️“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“5/5 Stars! Y3S is in a league of its own. Between the personalized welcome from Diana, the expert service from Darius and Cam, and the incredible steak and lobster from Chef Milton, we felt like VIPs. They even made me a custom drink not found on the menu! We loved the bowling and the themed photo booth. If you want a place that treats you like royalty and nails every detail, this is it. Can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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. ❤️“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

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

“Food, Cocktails Bartenders and cool DJs“

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

“Brandi was my server and she was so attentive and sweet!! Her and the hostess made sure I didn’t leave my to go food on my way out which was such a lifesaver!!! Food was nicely portioned and delicious. I got the braised beef noodle soup amongst other things. Can’t wait to visit again! <3“

“So much fun! With the best service to the decor this place did not miss … and they validate your garage parking Special shoutout to The manager Savannah who was soooo friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Along with Sidney our bartender Noe our server 10/10 Must check out!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Excellent cocktails, great for hosting events. Quickly serve your guest without the wait of making each cocktail and the quality is the same if not better than a bartender could make.“

“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.“

“Parker was truly one of the best servers we’ve ever had! From start to finish, her service was exceptional, and the food was absolutely amazing. This was our first time visiting, and she made us feel so welcomed and taken care of.

To top it all off, Parker acknowledged my birthday at the end of our meal, which made the experience even more special. Those little touches truly make a difference.

I will absolutely be returning, bringing more people with me, and telling everyone I know about this place. Parker, thank you for making my birthday so special and for giving us such an amazing experience. You’re a gem!“

“We really enjoyed our cocktails and food! The music was Al’s fantastic! Mimi took great care of us! Next time we come to Atlanta, we will definitely be back!!“

“Great food great staff!!!!)“

“Scott is the best! We sat at the bar for the Harry Potter pop-up and had the BEST time! Thanks for the magic, Scott! ✨“

“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 one of our best dining experiences in recent memory! The food, service and vibe were outstanding! Epiphany was such a warm & attentive server! Her recommendations and special added touches really topped the evenings experience! We would definitely return in the future!“

“Great time celebrating Dia de los Muertos 💀“

“Great idea for a simple choice of my favorites - simple salad with with a delicious vineragrette, crusty French bread abd butter and the ribeye! Oh my, cooked perfectly and melted in my mouth! The old fashioned from the bar was made to perfection! Will definitely return!“

“Great food, cocktails and service!“

“This is my first visit and I give it a 10+ my server was Vivica she was amazing from start to finish. Very Knowledgeable about the menu offered great drinks that pineapple express I had to have two. My food came out piping hot. This is the place to be if you come out please ask for.vivica.“

“Shoutout to Bezi and the chef“

“Had a small birthday gathering for my Granddaughter for her 12th birthday. Our experience at Nala’s was absolutely amazing. The customer service was top tier. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was beautiful. Nala’s is now our favorite restaurant. We will definitely be visiting there a lot. Very classy place. I wish I could remember our waitresses name she was amazing from beginning to the end. They also had music there and it was tastefully played for the occasion.“

“This was a gathering of friends. Great vibe. Speakeasy with a quiet side and DJ.

Drinks were amazing. The food menu is very limited but what was offered was good.

Definitely a snacking menu.

Highly recommend“

“8/1/26 I rarely given bad reviews but this is a 1st. Today, I would give this restaurant a 0/10. I didn’t even make it to tasting the food as the food that was ordered never made it to my table but another table who had already checked out. My waitress didn’t even check on my party to see if any of our food made it to our table. It seems as though this place needs more space to accommodate the amount of people coming to patronize. I’m all for supporting black businesses but this is one that I cannot support.

UPDATE: 8/29/26 The owner reached out to me and expressed sincere concern about my previous visit to the restaurant and offered me a a chance to have a better experience. I booked a new reservation for yesterday and I can say that it was a better experience than I previously had. We received great customer service by a new waitress that checked on us often. The food that we ordered came out to our exact table and the food was good. See pictures. I appreciate the owner Crystal making sure our experience was better than before and for that we will come back again to try the breakfast options. I will say the LAMB CHOPS were superb‼“

“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.“

“I celebrated the fourth here a few years ago and had a blast! The DJ was amazing, the energy of the guests was amazing, and I have nothing but good things to say about the staff from the welcome drink at check-in to the clean bathrooms. I don’t remember the food much because I was having so much fun with my friends. However, it was a vibe to remember. I liked it so much, I’m going to celebrate my 35th here this year. I hope it’s another fun experience.“
