Think dark, sexy, lounge vibes with velvet couches and chandeliers--perfect for date night or catching up with friends. The cocktail menu is deep, so be prepared to take your time (or just order a few like we did ). Everything was crafted really well and not overly sweet--just smooth, balanced drinks. This is not a quick in-and-out spot. It's the kind of place you sit, sip, and enjoy the vibe. Perfect before dinner or to end the night on a high note. Definitely adding this to our go-to list

This place kind of gives a slight speakeasy vibe since the sign isn't visible (if it weren't for the corded of line and bouncer outside, you might miss it), and the inside of it was absolutely breathtaking with its art deco-like interior--I mean they honestly know how to make a first great impression. The only item I ordered when I was there was a classic margarita (although they had other enticing drink options), which was great and had a slight heavy pour (which I prefer)! Hot tip: check out their instagram stories if you want to see who's DJing that night, so you can see if it's your vibe. I, unfortunately, forgot to do that that night, but the music was great for the most part! The only issue is that the DJ would switch between a great fast-paced Afrobeats or Hip-Hop song and slow R&B jams, which kind of killed the vibe a bit for me, but I still had a time! Highly recommend checking this place and def look up the DJ to prep for your night out!

A great mixture of African reggae and R&B music people were actually dancing. The drinks were decent, but ambience was really good. The decor ..everything was great.

The people who run the place and those they hire to work here is what has made it last. You can have goods and services provided to you anywhere but if you don't feel welcomed and taken care of, what the business offers is irrelevant. The food is good. The hookah is good. The drinks are good. And the prices are reasonable! Always have been. Which is to be appreciated in Atlanta. The atmosphere is great and shifts depending on when you come. As a two sided lounge (day time & night life) you can get the best of both worlds at one place. The day time side allows people to come for anything from a calm place to do some work, have a business meeting, bring a date, etc. the night time side gives you an intimate party experience with talented DJs and no commotion. I've brought everyone here from friends, to family (including my mom) and acquaintances. I love it here and they have a life long customer!

Now this was a treat…read more I had no idea Little Spirit was tucked away where it is--I usually frequent Delbar just up the street--so stumbling upon this spot was such a pleasant surprise. I know the word gets overused, but it truly was a whole vibe. What I loved most is that it's the kind of place where everyone feels welcome. There's no pressure, no strict dress code--just a come-as-you-are energy, and people genuinely receive you that way. Within five minutes of being there, I already felt comfortable. Everyone was so friendly--the bartenders, the people around us, even the random interactions felt warm and easy. The space itself is really cool too. They have artwork featuring icons like Prince, Tupac, and Biggie, which added to the overall atmosphere. We ordered the King Peach (I believe it had bourbon--I did take a picture of the menu, though it's a little cut off), and it was really good. Smooth, flavorful, and easy to sip. They're open until 2 AM, so it's a great spot whether you're grabbing a drink with friends, on a date, or even just stopping by solo to soak in the energy. It's one of those places where you can just be. I'd love to make this a regular spot--definitely somewhere I can see myself coming back to at least once a month.

They have seating inside as well as some outdoor patio seating with heaters. I love their cocktails here! I haven't had a bad one yet and I was blown away by their slushie. I'm not even a fan of frozen drinks but I got to try their version of an alcoholic Wendy's milkshake and it was incredible. I hope to come back before they switch it out so I can order that. The bartenders are amazing! Super friendly and helpful and they make incredible drinks. Don't forget to check out their happy hour Monday thru Friday until 8 pm (I believe).

Both were pretty good. The rooftop space is nice, and I liked having the option to hang out outside. One thing that was a little disappointing was the seating situation. There weren't many open seats available because most of the tables were reserved or required a purchase, so it was hard to find a place to settle in. The vibe also felt a little off since there weren't a lot of people there during the event, which made it feel less like a party and more like a regular afternoon at a rooftop bar. On the plus side, I did enjoy the music and the photo booth was a fun touch.

The layout is spacious with indoor and outdoor options. Food service was quick since we ordered early; food and drinks were decent, but overpriced ( I should've expected that for Buckhead but oh well). The views and vibes were great, DJ was amazing, and the people were dressed to the nines as usual in ATL. I took an Uber but parking is normally $40 per car, so please be prepared.

One of the best parts is how easy it is when you arrive--you can walk right in, pick your table, and get settled without any hassle. They have call buttons at each table to request a server, which makes ordering seamless. The service was really good--attentive, quick, and consistent throughout. The hookah itself was a standout. They offer a wide range of flavors, ice hoses, and use silicone bowls, which I personally love. Everything was smooth and well-prepared. There was also a DJ playing, which added a nice vibe to the atmosphere, and they have a large menu with plenty of food options. I tried the wings--they were decent, nothing special--but overall, the experience, hookah quality, and service make this a solid spot to come back to.

This has been my little hidden gem for about two years now. It's been my study spot. The food is…read moredecent especially the garlic naan, hookah is reasonably priced, and all the male servers are really sweet and welcoming. But there is a new lady who has been there a lot recently who kind of just throws off the whole vibe of the place. She always gives off an attitude and like she doesn't want to be there. Then when you ask her for anything, it takes her forever to bring it out. Then I notice you really need to look over your receipt with her because there is always some type of overcharge when I deal with her. But besides the lady, my only other complaint is the new mandatory 18% gratuity per ticket plus 3% card fee they add on! Like for one person they automatically add 18% gratuity which is insane especially when you have to hunt down ppl for refills and to go boxes! Oh and The espresso martinis are good but I think they water down most of their drinks and the shots, especially if you get more than one round

No. That's exactly how I want to start this…read more We randomly popped in wanting to give this spot a try, and I left disappointed. First off.. Thank God we came before they started charging for parking, because $50 to park in an 8‑spot lot at what is basically a hole‑in‑the‑wall is insane. Are y'all well? And I still don't know what vibe they're going for. The decor is all over the place... and then they have hookah. Hookah. HUH?!! The smell of hookah hit us the second we walked in, so we chose the patio. I loved the natural light, but the space itself was giving run‑down. The seat cushions looked like they'd been stepped on, dragged, and stepped on again. Now, the service -- I'll give credit where it's due. Our server was great. Attentive, friendly, on point. And the music was a vibe! If you come, come for the vibes and the vibes ONLY! The drinks? Meh. Not terrible, but definitely not memorable. I wasn't expecting much, and they met that expectation. The menu isn't huge, but a few things sounded promising. I ordered the Chef's Crab Soup, and honestly, it reminded me of stew beef or pot roast... but with crab. Weird description, I know, but it actually worked. It was chilly outside, so it hit the spot. We also tried the Grilled Oysters, decent flavor, but way too much breading. Then came the Shrimp Basket, which was... there. The shrimp had no seasoning, the fries had no seasoning, and the chipotle sauce tasted like absolutely nothing. The Seafood Fettuccine Pasta? NASTY. Whatever that sauce was should be illegal. Just no. I sent it back and swapped it for the Salmon Alfredo Pasta. Better? Yes, but nothing I'd ever order again.
