Dad's is a popular bar in Virginia Highlands. It's listed as a cocktail bar on Google but i…read morewouldn't consider it one, even though they have cocktails. It's more of a regular bar that has a variety of cocktails, beers, and I think wines too. We went on a Friday night and it was packed the entire night. Perhaps it had more of a cocktail bar vibe during the week when it's less crowded. It had a mix of crowds from college grad-looking aged students to people in their 40s. The two cocktails I got were good - the mezcal one and the ATL mule, but my friends got a Mai Tai and Paloma and both were really bad. The Mai Tai tasted like straight up concentrated lime juice. No one could drink it. And the Paloma also had a really strange taste to it.

It's a good epitome of a Little Five Points bar. They have the main bar area and also a side room with more seating and some games. It's a great place for casual drinks and hangouts.

While I don't think there is smoking inside, the place was crowded and smelled like cigarettes, likely from the people sitting outside smoking and the door being open.

I've been here a few times before and always enjoyed it, but this last visit felt a little off…read more The music was very loud, to the point where we were basically yelling just to talk, which kind of took away from the experience. The drinks were okay at first, nothing crazy. One thing I will say though, the bartender came by to get feedback and actually adjusted my drink on the spot. I didn't like the espresso martini at all at first but after I said what was off, they knew exactly what to add and it ended up much better. The speakeasy vibe I remember also wasn't really there this time. The front felt a bit disorganized, and combined with the loud music, it just didn't have that same intimate, polished feel. Not sure if it was just an off night or if things are starting to slip a bit, but I'd still say it's worth trying for yourself.

I went here for an event with YouTube for the Super Bowl and had a great time…read more The venue is spacious with two floors and an outdoor space. This is something not that noticeable from the outside. The food was preselected by YouTube but everything I had was delicious! And they made sure to have options for people to select. And glad there weren't any nuts (I have an allergy). Oh and the drinks were great! And I loved that servers would come around to ask if you wanted drinks and you didn't always have to go to the bar (not sure if that is a regular situation). The only thing I disliked was that volume on the TVs were so low that we couldn't hear the game or the halftime show even when people mostly stopped talking. It doesn't have to blowing our ears out but we should be able to at least hear the commentators and performers. Paid Parking is available in a garage to the right of Painted Park (the next side street over across from Vinoteca. Or you can try to find FREE street parking.

Whoever is management is doing a great job at keeping up the establishment. Seating was very comfy with dining options, inside and outside. Comfy couches, and standard chairs There's also bar seating. The customer service was great, and on point. The drinks were well crafted, and tasty. The food... the flavors were amazing! My date ordered the bowl. Every ingredient perfectly cooked, and executed! Never had anything like it. I had a pork belly taco & flautas. Amazing! No joke. The pork belly was so delicious & cooked to perfection. The flautas were really tasty, but I wish they wouldn't serve it over a bed of sauce. Doesn't make well for reheating if you want to take extra home... however the overall flavor was good. Presentation, picture perfect. I will definitely return! They also have a happy hour that lasts till 8. My guest, and I came on a Wednesday around 7. I highly recommend to come around that time, unless you want a crowd. Unsure why the ratings are so low. Give this place a try!

We spent a weekend in Atlanta and were in the mood for some reggaeton, so we walked over from a…read morenearby lunch spot to check this place out. We had already eaten so we were just looking for tasty drinks and a fun vibe. We didn't have reservations, which seemed to be an issue when we first arrived. I completely understand that it was Mother's Day, but it was already after 2:00pm and the restaurant wasn't busy at all. We were repeatedly told that it would get busier later for brunch service. Once seated, we quickly ordered drinks. The music was good, but there wasn't much reggaeton playing at first. After a quick chat with the DJ, the vibe completely changed. We were treated to a fun set featuring Daddy Yankee, Bad Bunny, Ivy Queen, and several other great mixes. That definitely elevated the experience and made for a really enjoyable afternoon. The main downside was the service, which felt a bit unfriendly. I noticed other tables receiving pitchers of water, so I asked for some as well. Instead, we were brought a bottle of Fiji. When we asked for the pitcher instead, we were told it was only available for guests ordering brunch. Since we had each ordered multiple drinks, the policy felt a little odd. Adding to the confusion, the restaurant never really filled up despite the warnings about how busy it would become. Overall, we had a good time thanks to the music, drinks, and atmosphere. The DJ was fantastic, but the service left us with a somewhat mixed impression.

The shared business of Ria's babybird, however, was a pretty crappy experience. We waited way too long for simple breakfast orders. The owner, I'm guessing was Ria, was very dismissive when I asked about the meals we were waiting on while she was serving customers who came in after us. She tried to say that they were before us and they definitely weren't. I don't know if it was racist (I'm a man of color), or because she preferred to expedite her friends first, but she definitely didn't have a polite or truthful response. Soured our experience of the place unfortunately. There's many other great and friendly spots in Atlanta with competent unbiased service.

Located inside of The Hyatt Centric Buckhead, this cute spot is a must-try for a fun night out. Upon arrival you have the option of self-parking in the garage across the street from the hotel or opting to pay valet a few bucks more. I'm always up for convenience so I went with valet and the valet guys were lovely. Located on the top floor, the elevator wasn't too far from the front door but I had a chance to peek at the hotel interior and it was gorgeous. When I got upstairs, I saw that Spaceman was just as beautiful. Because we had reservations we were quickly seated at our table on the terrace. We reserved a 4-top but one of the seats was a beanbag. Such a cute concept BUT, not so much when you're in high heels and a dress lol. Luckily, the host was kind enough to replace the cushion with a chair so I didn't fall back and over the edge. (Maybe I'm a little dramatic) The terrace was gorgeous! It wasn't a huge space but they did have three rows of seating, plus a smaller bar/prep area and it still seemed to flow well. The views were amazing! Megan was our waitress and she was great from start to finish. We all opted for different cocktails including a mojito, a Cosmo, a p**nstar martini, and the summer cocktail special that included vodka, guava, banana flavors and some other delicious stuff. They were all phenomenal! We decided to for lighter bites including the tuna tartare, wings and truffle fries. Again, everything was delicious. The tuna tartare was presented inside of an avocado shell, which was a new one for me. It was filled with fresh, flavorful tuna and paired well with the wonton chips. Such a cute spot, I'd come back for another night out!

This was my first time at SOS in a looooong time. Me and my wife came after dinner, as this wasn't…read moretoo far of a walk from dinner. It was a Friday night, so it was pretty packed when we first got there. We put our names down, and then grabbed a drink at the bar. There was outdoor seating that was available, so we grabbed a seat. We were then notified that our table was ready. It wasn't even 20 minutes, so this was great. The host took us to two seats at the bar. SOS is such a cool island type of vibe. They have so many different tiki cocktails that you can choose from. They are mostly made of rum, but they have a few other ones that are made with different alcohols. Me and my wife both got our own drinks. Hers was a special Valentine's Day themed drink that was on the menu, and mine was one of the tequila/mezcal tiki drinks. Both tasted really good! The presentation was just as good too! You aren't limited to these though, it's a full bar, so you can get whatever you want. They also have a few food options, but very limited. Our bartender, Heather, was super nice as well. My wife had asked (when I went to the restroom) if they did anything for birthdays, since my birthday was a few days prior. She did this cool fire presentation and gave us two little slushie shots. Awesome bartender for sure! SOS is a great place to go for some really fun drinks. It's good for groups, but keep in mind that they do get quite busy on the weekends! I'll definitely be back.

Was in Decatur and had Dinner down the street so decided to end the night at SOS!…read more I'll start by saying this is such a solid tiki bar. All the drinks were very fun and taste great and range from smooth to STRONG. The attention to detail put into crafting the drinks is very admirable. I can guarantee your drink will look exactly like how it's depicted on the menu. If only I could remember the names of all the drinks I tried....oh well. What I do remember is that they set the Mai Tai's on fire so that's pretty cool. Service was also great. S/O Charlie! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. You're welcome!
