Met a couple of old Midtown friends here last weekend. My first long island ice tea was a bit weak in the speakeasy bar, but when I met my friends we had a table full of booze to make it up. We were there a couple of hours and enjoyed our time just drinking and chatting.

So this spot is clutch! I can't stress that enough. It's in the Chattahoochee food hall area so you may not come across it unless you're looking for it because there's so much other stuff over there. Parking is not free so you make sure you pay the park but depending on where you go in the area you can possibly get a validated. I don't think that this spot does the validation. I came on the back half of the evening in my parking was free and the structure across the lot from the establishment. I would definitely suggest making reservations. You can go to the forum or you can go to the speakeasy inside of the form which is called the midnight room. That's where I made reservations for online. If you go to the forum, It's a really dope spot with a couple of TVs and swim lounge areas. They have a full bar in bartenders that are really nice and super friendly. If you go to the midnight room, it's kind of a back room that you go to that has the same situation only it's more personal and more private. If you try to be a little more intimate then this is the spot for you. Again, they only have limited space so you want to make sure that you do would do a reservation online. There's a 15 minute grace period I believe but you can call them if you have any issues. Typically I do an old fashioned, if you read my reviews you already know that. But I did a Manhattan. I did a smoke Manhattan It was actually pretty good. Had really good presentation. They smoked it in a dome and brought it to the table and that was pretty cool. It was a pretty well constructed cocktail. If you look on a menu though the only difference between the Manhattan and the old-fashioned was the smoke so that was kind of weird but no matter! Also try the french fries. Well the super hungry so fries were enough, but I tried the garlic parm fries and these joints were fire! They were very crispy and well seasoned and they came with ranch and ketchup. Overall I think I would invest more time in this establishment period If you want to go ahead and get a little duck off and trying to find some place that's a little more quiet and intimate if you're trying to get some one-on-one time or a small group of friends, this is definitely a spot. Just to note, the midnight room will fill up so make sure you heed your reservation. But I did enjoy the vibe. They had music playing in the background and everything and it was actually old school '90s music so it really spoke to my soul. I can't stress enough just make sure that you are aware of the fact that 20% is added to your bill already. I kind of wonder how I got to about $80 with two drinks and some french fries, but they will add it to the bill but if you are aware of that then it's no problem. Would I go back? 100%!

Loved this place. Had a cute little girls night with my friend and had a very demure, very cute time here. It's a lovely venue and very sexy inside. Just plan for 20-40 bucks per item but I loved it. Worth it. And it has a lowkey vibe. If you come late night, prepare for a club vibe as well past 10 pm. But I love the elegance plus lounge vibe. The food was tasty and buttery, we ate so good. Love he charcuterie because it's multiple people friendly. The service was cool also, the girls are pretty and it's just a sexy place overall. I'll be back for sureeee

This is a 21 & up restaurant. It's located close to Chattahoochee Food Works, right next  door to Axe Throwing Atlanta. If you're coming on a weekend reservations are highly recommended, it's a small space. On this visit I only had cocktails in the Speakeasy. Your entire party has to be present. Tip: You must book the Speakeasy (The Midnight Room) under Experiences in Open Table if you want to visit the secret room. It is reservation only. You will have an hour and a half in The Midnight Room. FOOD IS NOT offered. There is no menu in the Speakeasy which also means you have no idea the price of your drink until you receive your check. The mixologist asks you what type of cocktail you're interested in then they create you a drink. Get creative and step out the box. It was pretty cool to see what he created for our table of 6, everyone's drink was very unique. I requested a bourbon spirit forward drink and said I like ginger, the mixologist made a Manhattan without the vermouth and added maraschino flavoring and cardamom. I enjoyed it! It was perfection and something I probably would never order. My Manhattan cocktail was $18 plus gratuity is added on to the bill, 20%.  Enjoyed the spot and would like to return to eat in the restaurant.

West was our server and he was the best! We cocktails were great! I loved how the bartender placed his twist on the selection. I never had a rum punch that was so good! The ambiance was decorated with a modern with creative visual muse! I recommend this for a chill cocktail night or after hour date night!

We had a party of 4 who came by on a Friday night without reservations and was seated promptly. The space is gorgeous and the chairs were comfortable, a big plus. Our server was awesome and gave good explanations for the drinks. We had dinner earlier so we only wanted small plates since we came to drink. Everyone enjoyed their drinks, from the classic drinks to their signature cocktails. For food we had the bread and butter. The sweet butter was sooo good, I could eat that by itself. We also shared Brussels which were nicely crispy but could've used some salt. Overall, I'd actually give them a 31/2 rounded to 4 stars because the prices are a bit high for what you get. Brussels are a standard menu item, $17 is a bit pricey for what we got. There were other food items that interested us but again why so pricey? On top of that, there's an automatic 20% service charge (no matter your party size) which the server explained is split amongst everyone at the bar. He was great so we tipped additional. I wouldn't be in a rush to visit again but would go if someone else wanted to.

This is a cute cocktail bar that I have been waiting on to open and check out. The space is smaller than I envisioned but they did a good job with the seating area, décor, and the look of the bar. Sat at a table and ordered the Uisgea Beatha (which is Gaelic for "Water of Life") and the Jack Rose cocktails. The Uisgea Beatha was very well-balanced and not too sweet nor bitter. The Jack Rose was a bit too tart for me due to too much lime juice in it. I also ordered a glass of champagne and it was perfectly cold and bubbly. Ordered the meatballs and they were a little too dry but had great flavor and spice so I would order them again. The overhead music was a good mix of oldies, '90s, and '00s hits, as well as other genres. Overall a good vibe!

The ambiance is very cute and very instagramable. Low light settings, great artwork, and dj after 10 on the weekend. The oysters were really good, the baked wings were delicious honey lemon pepper ( the fries were not a fan favorite, they were very thick potato wedges that were dry), and the Ceasar salad was a nice size as well. However, the drinks were uber sweet from the old fashion to their "dank gimlet" and little to no alcohol taste, just sweet. The server offered suggestions and was able to check with the chef to have warm chicken on the salad instead of cold but towards the end, she seemed overwhelmed with her tables and forgot about us. I would come back for sure but maybe just order neat drinks instead of their cocktails.

Everyone should stop by Forum Cocktails. And stop by the Speakeasy, the crafted cocktails are top notch.

We came here on a Saturday night at 7:30 pm and they were already out of bread, Brussels and few things other that we were planning on getting. So we just got overpriced side of fries for $12 and few drinks, which are also on a higher end, $18-$20

What a fabulous, fabulous spot! This is a must try cocktail bar in ATL. especially the speakeasy room! The service and management is exceptional, and it was such a perfect ambiance to gather with colleagues for the holiday. We also enjoyed lots of their delicious food, drinks, and desserts! You've got to check this place out :)

Jina P.

The midnight room was a great experience! It has no menu hence you tell them what you like and they whip up a nice unique cocktail. Alex is artist with his cocktails. He put a lot of thought and effort into his cocktails. The vibe is immaculate and overall a great experience!

Love love love this place. Alex is my favorite although both bartenders are amazing. Every drink is made specifically for you and your palate. Swanky, speakeasy vibes on . You have to have reservations so plan accordingly.

The Worst Bar Experience We've Had in Atlanta…read more We visited this place with a group of friends for drinks and food, but from the moment we arrived, it failed to live up to the hype. The restaurant enforces a two-hour table limit, yet it took nearly 20 minutes before anyone came to take our order. Even after ordering, basic service was lacking. We weren't given enough plates, and no cutlery was provided. We repeatedly had to track down our waitress just to get the essentials. The food was probably the only positive aspect of the visit, although it was average at best. What was most disappointing was the way one of the staff members (their DJ) spoke to my friend when she was trying to take her child to the restroom. The interaction was unnecessarily rude and left a very negative impression. I've visited hundreds of restaurants and bars around Atlanta and have never experienced such poor service. Between the disorganized staff, lack of basic hospitality, and rude treatment of customers, this is not a place I would recommend. I will not be returning.

This is a Belgian-inspired brewery, restaurant, bookstore, and beer garden all under one roof. Bold Monk is located in the Upper Westside of Atlanta, near Chattahoochee Food Works and Topgolf Atlanta Midtown. There's plenty of free parking around the building and on the street (Ellsworth Industrial Blvd NW). I like the space here because there are various spaces inside and "outside" to spread out and hang out. I put "outside" in quotes because their patio is fully covered and enclosed -- good for bad weather. I had the Presence Pilsner (lager, 4.8%, 16 oz, $7). It was cold, crisp, and refreshing. I recommend it. The menu describes it as offering a "soft bready malt, delicate herbal and floral hop notes, and clean, dry finish." For dinner, I had the Salmon Dip ($16) to start and the Steak + Frites (market price) as my main. The Salmon Dip is made with house-cured salmon and tarragon aioli, and comes with thin toast triangles. The Steak + Frites is "chef's cut" (not sure which, didn't ask) and comes with Bearnaise, arugula, and Belgian frites (fries). The Bearnaise went great with both the steak and the fries. Bold Monk is known for their Belgian Frites, "The Original French Fry," which comes with a variety of sauces and in a few different styles. They also offer a variety of mussels and pizza. My buddy had one of the pizzas, "the 1838," I believe, which comes with different mushrooms, mozzarella, and house-made truffle ricotta. He seemed to enjoy it. The pizzas - the 1836, the 1899, the 1838, the 1850, and the 1862 - are all named after years that monasteries opened in Europe. I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out just right. The quality of the cut was average/about what you'd expect for budget-friendly steak frites (it's no Bar Blanc in terms of cut quality). But still, that and the Salmon Dip were tasty and satisfying enough. Good service from both our server and the host/manager, who made sure my friend did not leave his jacket behind. Bold Monk opened in December 2019.

The place didn't look very clean when we came in and there was stuff all over the floor and old napkins that had been trampled all over right in front of the host stand. The workers just walked right by them not even bothering to pick it up. It's not the best way to greet new customers. The entire floor looks like it could use a good deep clean. We got here at like 1:15 and those close at 2:30. You would think we got here at 2:20 the way our waiter was rushing us. It was super annoying but I guess it's fine. They were clearly in a hurry to start their closing process. I ordered pancakes and bacon and the syrup tasted really odd. I asked the waiter about it and he said they mix Log Cabin syrup with molasses. He then asked me if I wanted some regular syrup, I said yes please. To which he replied "well that is our regular syrup." So what was the point of asking me the question then? That didn't make sense at all to me. Nothing was bad, but place just seemed kind of "meh" to me.

We chose the gaming only reservation which included unlimited play and 30 minutes of bowling for $30 pp. Luckily we went on a Thursday evening around 5:30 pm and it was empty so we could play any games we wanted. I could imagine this place getting super packed, though, and it being difficult to play games. They have a variety of games from darts to shuffle board to the classic arcade games. We were there for 2.5 hours and it was more than enough time to play most of the games. The reason I am taking one star away is that they need to do better maintenance on some of the games. The curling lane didn't work and many of the arcade games were partially broken. We didn't eat but they serve food there and there's lots of tables to sit at. They also have a full bar. The cocktails were decent and reasonably priced, ~$16 including tax and automatic tip. Overall, it's a really fun spot for a date or for hanging with friends. I would highly recommend avoiding their peak hours. They validate an extra hour of parking so you get 3 hours free and there's plenty of spots in the garage right next to the place.

When planning to celebrate my birthday this year, I struggled to figure out my plans that I wanted to set with my girlfriends. Finally I decided on a Sunday Funday and thought it'd be a great reason to check Pink Promise out. As a self-proclaimed 'girly girl' who loves pink, flowers, all that cliche stuff, they were right up my alley. Upon arrival, two of my girls were already seated in a comfy booth in the corner. The girls who were working there were all dressed in pink - so cute! The restaurant was covered in florals and pink accents, truly a pink dream. Our group quickly grew, and the ladies were patient and kind with each and every one of us. We all tried some different cocktails and we loved them all. My personal favorite was the Coco Chanel which I should NOT have ordered based off of aesthetics because, WOO. That baby was strong, lol. But still tasty, so they did right by us, lol. The young lady who was serving our table told us to tell her when we would be toasting (such a millennial trait lolol), and we totally forgot to do so. So when she and her teammate came over with glasses of champagne, macarons and a bubble gun - all for me?! Omg, I loved it! Such a sweet birthday surprise. This is really a great spot to enjoy a girl's night out, brunch, or even a solo night out. I can't wait to return!

It gives it a cozy feel and it just completes everything pink and beautiful. The wait staff was amazing.

I went with mocktails for the afternoon, which I will share the name and the ingredients, but for the toast for the birthday girl they bought out glasses of champagne and a bubble gun so cute. Please go to pinky promise you won't regret it. My mocktail choice was the $7 THE GARDEN SPRITZ- LEMON JUICE, ROSEMARY SYRUP, WATERMELON SYRUP, MUDDLED MINT & BASIL, SODA WATER! RUN DONT WALK!
