    I had the pleasure of returning to Block and Drum for their Hi-Fi listening session featuring the incomparable Donny Hathaway. The DJ, Stolen Drums, spun a four-hour set full of Donny's greatest works--songs he sang, played on, or was featured in. It was a soulful, immersive experience inside. Meanwhile, outside they had a food truck and were showing Cadillac Records on the big screen, which added to the night's atmosphere. Block and Drum is the kind of place you go when you want a mature yet fun environment--crafted cocktails, epic vibes, and great scenery. The bartenders are skilled and everything is made in-house, from the liquor to the cocktails. This was my second visit, and I ordered the Summertime Saadness again, just like my first time. It was just as smooth and refreshing as I remembered. If you're looking for a unique spot that blends music, culture, and community, Block and Drum should be on your list

    So if you looking for smooth vibes, this one of them ones! So if you check your website when you get a chance, you can see what they have going on. They may have some live music or DJ set or anything. But make sure you figure out what's going on for that evening. I've only been on the back half of the night, when it's already been pretty packed. You'll find parking wherever you can, and then heading to the venue. Parking is not free if you park in the lot. The last time I went it was $20. But there are other areas and places around to park at, so you don't necessarily have to park in there specific parking lot. When you get there, you have to pay to get in. I don't know if the difference of the price would be contingent on if you pay at the door versus paying perhaps online, but all I know is when you walk up before you get to security, it was like $25 the last night I went. There's an inside and an outside element to this establishment. It's kind of like one big living room on the inside. The outside looks like a small concert venue. You may have a stage act going or you may have some DJs spinning, it depends on the night. But there's a lot of room and they also have an outside bar area that you can order drinks from. On a really nice night, this is pretty cool. It's not a lot of seats outside, but people are mostly just standing around listening to music and dancing. On the inside though, they're much more seats and it's a lot more chill of a vibe. There is a place where you can get drinks at, and if there's a DJ or so they'll be spinning toward the front of the room. But all throughout the room, their couches and chairs and places to sit and congregate. They have decks of cars laying around so you can play cards and have a good time. This spot has a distillery vibe to it, they make their own liquor. So don't expect to go in there ordering Tito's or Jack Daniels. They make their own in house, and the drinks are probably maybe about $15 or so. Personally, I didn't go for the drinks, they weren't anything special at all. I will just go for the vibes. Also to note, they may have a food truck there so you won't necessarily starve if you come hungry. The last time I was at it had a taco food truck, and there was a steady line there. I'd already eaten so I wasn't hungry but that is an option. Overall I wouldn't go here for the drinks, but I would definitely go here to kickback and listen some good house music. It's a really chill set, so I would definitely do this again.

    Met up with a few high school friends here on a Saturday night. Finding the parking lot was tricky for me! I missed the entrance the first time. They had an event the night we came, so we were not able to go outside. I really enjoyed the decor. It reminded me of an old school living room. The dj was ok, it was definitely catered for an older crowd. Because they're a distillery, they only carry certain spirits. I like bourbon, so I stuck with that. Overall, I would have to return on another night. The service was pretty good. Gratuity is included in your bill.

    I definitely recommend this place on a Friday or Saturday night where they have DJs. It's such a vibe and it is mostly a place where you stand up however, they do have games that are sitting on the table such as big cards of Uno and other games that you can play with large groups of people there is also a food truck on the side that has phenomenal food. Definitely recommend drinks are a little pricey, but totally worth it. Service is also very friendly and very attentive.

    I'm very pleasantly surprised about how much I enjoyed this spot. The vibes are very relaxed and chilled, which I loved. They also have a lot of different areas to sit and listen to the music, which was nice. There is an outside area with some games and a screen, and they have rotating food trucks. I definitely see it being a great spot for summer. Parking can be hard, but there is extra parking by the Walmart. The only thing I didn't love was the mocktail I had. I asked the bartender if he could make one, and he said yes and that he would add ginger beer, but I don't think he put any in it. It was like just straight lemon, and I think orange juice with a little grapefruit soda on top, but it was so bitter and not very good. It was also $14, which I think is too much for being mostly lemon juice and like no sugar, so I would avoid that and just have the free water next time.

    Great spot in Chamblee which hosts weekly events. I always have a consistently good time here. The music is good and the cocktails are well-made.

    Really a nice area to hangout and vibe with good friends. The ambiance was very lively and the staff had great service. The food was good and the drinks were too! I'll definitely be back for another event.

    Dance like nobody's watching!

    This place is a hidden gem and such a VIBE. I never knew it existed. Parking isn't sufficient for when it gets packed. Find something on the street or just park by Waffle House and walk down the stairs. Soon as you enter there's a long hallway. Can't see much of the venue. Then, the back opens to this large indoor/outdoor space. There's small tables to catch a seat if your feet hurt. Or there's picnic tables. I believe there was real grass or turf. I took my shoes off and danced the night away. Inside to the left there's a huge area with tables and plenty seating. A long bar, but there's also a smaller one outside at a stand. Tambor Party: Sol y Luna (monthly event, African house and world music). Electric energy. Grown crowd. No really young or rowdy people around. Hipster type. You can go on a date, meetup w/ friends or show up solo. I will be back. I'll pay in advance bcos it's a lot for the evening last minute like $35+ If there was food then it'll be 10/10

    Initially I was told this was a coffee shop and a chill place to post up with your laptop. While I found that to be true (and to my surprise), it was SOOO much than that oh my goodness... Block Drum gives WELL rounded vibes. They have a coffeeshop, they have a bar that serves cocktails and makes a good mojito if I might add. They have food trucks, play good music, and have a space right outside for events. The folks who work there are super sweet too. We didn't get to stay too long due to a private event being held, but with that said I will definitely be back. Imagine going to get some work done, then putting down the laptop and vibing to some good music with a dope atmosphere, that's my type of balance. I can see this is going to be a VERY poppin' spot so I look forward to more people discovering this place.

    $15 a drink is a little much for a drink in Chamblee. Cool spot though. Will probably be back.

PARKING There's slim spaces of parallel parking in front of the building, but to the street to the left (Pierce Dr.) there's more free spaces. II. SERVICE The barista making the latte art is talented! This is one of the slim cafes in Atlanta and the surrounding area that uses glassware, elevating the experience. There's outlets throughout the cafe and a self-service water station. III. QUALITY All of the coffee I've tasted has been dense in flavor. Great craftsmanship. IV. CAPACITY Seating is quite limited with how in demand this location is. I went around noon on a week day and got lucky to find a spot. I can imagine weekends are even busier; I recommend visiting on a work day.

The space is open, airy, and thoughtfully designed. I especially loved the seating layout. There's actually room to breathe. You're not crammed next to other tables or accidentally overhearing your neighbor's entire life story. Some cafes feel packed like sardines, but Kin does it right. They even have a cozy living-room style seating area that adds to the relaxed vibe. There's also outdoor seating, which would be perfect on a beautiful day. The latte I ordered was divine- smooth, balanced, and perfectly crafted. As someone who loves good latte art, Kin's baristas absolutely deliver. We were served the most beautiful swan latte art, which made the experience even better. Totally brewtiful! Everyone in our group loved their drinks. One friend mentioned their strawberry matcha is amazing, so that's definitely on my list for my next visit. Another thing I loved: they showcase work from local artists that's displayed and available for purchase. Love, love, love when cafés support local creatives. They also offer a few pastry options that could pair nicely with your drink. Will have to try that next time My only wish? That they stayed open later because I could easily see myself hanging out here all the time. If you appreciate great coffee, good and chill vibes, and cafes that really know their craft, definitely check out Kin Coffee. They even roast their own beans, which makes it a true coffee lover's spot.

The cinnamon roll was perfectly balanced--not overly sweet--and paired really well with the bold, flavorful cold brew. The coffee itself was strong, smooth, and had a nice depth from the flavoring without being overpowering. Service was just as memorable as the drink. The team member who helped me was kind, attentive, and very helpful, which made the experience feel welcoming from start to finish. The ambiance is calm and cozy, with a nice mix of seating options--bar-style seating, comfortable chairs in the entryway, seating in the back, and a few patio chairs for those who want to sit outside. The menu also looks extensive, especially the summer drink options, which I'm already looking forward to coming back to try.

The quality of the coffee, pastries, indoor seating, and the friendliness of the staff made for an easy, enjoyable afternoon. I ordered an Americano made with one of their signature house blends. It was piping hot with a hint of sweetness and a full, rich body. My group also ordered pastries including a cinnamon roll, a blueberry muffin, and a double chocolate cookie. I accidentally dropped the muffin on the floor right after ordering it, and the staff was incredibly kind and replaced it at no charge. The indoor vibe was relaxed with light music playing in the background. I will definitely be coming back.

It even has managed to impress friends who don't adventure too far outside of their own American culinary tastes. The sweets here are the perfect amount of sweet. The savory items also contain a perfect hint of sweetness that somehow ties it all together. I've even had a matcha (less sugar) made here and my God it was unexpectedly delicious. I usually spend about $20-ish and share my bag full of goodies with my folks. I love that you can get a lot with a little -- the dollar still stretches here! Sometimes their open hours are a bit off, as if been before during regular hours and they've been closed. I'll also add that the entrance can be confusing as Family Baking shares space or simply is owned by Rolls Village. None of this stops me from stopping by. The cherry on top is that the service is truly phenomenal. I love being greeted where I spend money, and the guy who frequently mans the cash register has such great energy. He's efficient as hell too! When I visited, he skipped through the tipping portion of the POS both times... so I'm not sure if they accept tips but I won't complain too much about that LOL. Go!!!

    Dumpling Master in Chamblee, GA Handmade Chinese Soup…read moreDumplings Spot Everything we tried: Pork soup dumplings -- recommend Juicy soup inside, and the skin is slightly thick with a little chew. I recommend dipping them in their house-made dumpling sauce or black vinegar. They also have other meat options. Har gow (shrimp dumplings) Filled with shrimp paste, bamboo, and dried scallops, has a stronger seafood flavor compared to traditional ones. Pan-fried pork & chive dumplings Crispy on the outside, and you can tell the skin is handmade. The filling is very juicy and lightly seasoned, more of a homemade style. Beef fried noodles -- recommend Yellow egg noodles with black pepper beef and vegetables. Savory with a nice peppery and wok flavor. Chili oil wontons Appetizer with shrimp and pork filling, topped with chili oil and dumpling sauce. Szechuan spicy chicken Spicy with a slight numbing kick, best paired with rice. Hope this helps you know what to order

The wait was much longer than expected--about 30 minutes--and while they did apologize for the delay, better communication and customer service would have made a big difference. Kindness and good customer service go a long way, especially when the establishment isn't extremely busy. I understand that delays can happen, but customers should still feel acknowledged and treated with courtesy while they wait. 8/8/26 I wouldn't recommend this because of their character and tone towards every delivery driver.
