    Drifter on the left, Buford Highway in the front, Thrilla in Manila in the back, Bandolero on the right.
    McKenna A.

    I fear I may have visited La Cueva too early, before they had a chance to work the kinks out. First off, the ambiance and atmosphere is top tier. Absolutely gorgeous. I love a speakeasy, and this one was extremely unique. The establishment is essentially one huge cave. The way you enter is very interesting, you open the front door through a code sent to you on your phone. Very cool. The drinks were excellent, we tried about 6 cocktails between my group and the stand-outs favorites were the Bandolero and Thrilla in Manila. We only had one appetizer, the Goat Cheese Croquettes. They were very good, a nice mix of goat cheese and guava. For the entrees and sides, we had the Pappardelle, Smash Burger, and Aligot. Unfortunately we had to send the aligot back to be reheated, as it came out lukewarm. This is also not my personal definition of aligot, which is a whipped potato dish with enough cheese mixed in that it creates a cheese pull. These were just very wet and cold. Flavor was good, but no cheese detected. The pappardelle was also lukewarm when it came out, but my friend did not want to spend the time waiting for it to come back out after being reheated. The flavor was fine. It states "truffle" and mushroom on the menu, but truly we only tasted mushroom in a loose sauce. Would not order again. The Smash Burgers and fries were very good, nothing groundbreaking, but this was probably my favorite food item that we ordered. As of right now, I would come back to sit at the bar and have some drinks. I will give it some more time and come back in a few months to try more food.

I was impressed by the…read moreplace, but after a couple of beers and an appetizer we were given instructions to evacuate the restaurant due to a kitchen fire. The next time in 2024 when I was in the area, they were closed for a remodel. Today was the day. The beer selection was fantastic and so was the food. I got the pork sandwich with greens on top. It was delicious, but it could've not had juices leaking so much? Maybe cheese below and above the meat to try to keep some of the juices off the bun or maybe more bun toasting? The fries were amazing and I should've gotten the aolie initially, but didn't get it until I saw another table with an order. It was delicious. The service was very good. The server had good knowledge of the beers, food, and was friendly. This is one of the best beer bars in the US. The Atlanta area is fortunate to have two killer beer bars, the other being the Brick Store Pub in Decatur.

    The food was okay overall. The first time I went, I really enjoyed it, but the second visit was…read morelater at night, so it may have just been an off day. The pretzels were burnt, the schnitzel was overfried, and the fish was a bit greasy. The deviled eggs were fine, but nothing particularly memorable. That said, aesthetically it is a great place with beautiful old architecture, solid service, and an amazing beer list.

    I've been to New Realm several times already to have a good sense of the place, and overall, it's a…read morepretty solid bar! It's pretty massive with plenty of space to sit. There's a huge front patio (this is typically where trivia takes place on Thursdays), space inside, and a rooftop with plenty of heaters to keep you warm this winter. Funnily enough, I'm not a beer drinker, but they have some cider and cocktail options that due the trick, but I've honestly had better. As for the food, I've really only ever tried their smokehouse burger, Asian-style loaded fries, and chocolate chip cookie skillet. The burger is super juicy and perfectly cooked, while the sauces and crispy bacon married it together. I've tried the Asian-style loaded fries (pictured below) twice now, and I honestly don't recommend it unless you like your char siu pork to be drenched in salt. It was nearly inedible both times. As for the chocolate chip cookie skillet, it was delicious, I practically inhaled the whole thing! The thing that honestly keeps me coming back is just the overall vibe of the place! It's always lively since it's right on the Beltline, very staff member I've encountered is so chill and great, and it's just such a fun spot to just chill out with your friends!

The bartender fellow was pretty terrible and pretty much ruined my and my friend that was with me's entire experience. We waited in line outside to order, after our turn came the little point of Sale terminal touchscreen thing(tilts and pivots) was facing us showing another customer has just finished paying and it had a green checkmark The I think he was a bartender had wandered off, didn't acknowledge us at all, and was talking to another bar tender for upwards of 5 mins, so I assumed because it was a touchscreen and was facing us it was self-service. So I hit the x on the screen to close out of the other customers transaction, and the bartender rushed over and started berating me with "what are you doing you don't touch that" and even had the audacity to ask "you didn't put anything in did you?!??" At which point we explained and placed our order with drinks took the flag with the table number to go sit down After which, the bartender came to our table and was somehow even more of an asshole, and told us that "you're supposed to wait for these diet cokes I can't bring them to you" We were both quite angry. This person is awful. I don't know why anyone would behave this way with customers. It's not acceptable and reflects quite poorly on the establishment that this person works there. We wish everyone the best but will not be returning in the future. I don't recommend anyone eat here.

    Walked up around 20 min before opening on a Sunday and were the second people in line, but the line…read morequickly grew after that. Went straight to order while the husb nabbed a table. Ordered 10 wings: half buffalo-lemon pepper/half lemon pepper, 5 wings in Korean-buffalo with a side of chili cheese fries, and 2 Coors Banquets (cuz we're classy like that. Food came out probably 15 min after and I was ready to dig in. These wings were pretty hyped and with anything popular, I'm always worried I'm going to be disappointed. But OMG these wings are worthy of their hype. The flavor of their sauces is incredible and they hit that desired balance of crispy and juicy. The meat falls off the bone. Tell you what, I'll definitely be back. I've also heard great things about their karaoke nights so that's going on my list as well

    Let me just start by saying - Are these the best wings I've ever had? I wouldn't say so but they're…read morepretty good. The wings were all well seasoned, and even the dry rub wings didn't taste dry. It tasted tender and juicy and I've never experienced that before with dry rub wings. We ordered the lemon pepper buffalo wings, buffalo wings, and Korean bbq buffalo wings and a side of fries. Our favorite was the buffalo wings. It had the right balance of juiciness and flavor. I wouldn't recommend the Korean bbq wings since it didn't have enough tangyness to it and didn't stand out. The French fries are a must order. The fries were so crunchy, and they were still crunchy even towards the end when we were almost finished eating. We arrived 30 minutes before they opened on a Friday and there were already people waiting in the lot which was crazy! It started raining while we were waiting in line and the line got even longer. If you're planning to try The Local, I would recommend coming on a regular weekday or come earlier if you're coming on the weekend because the line is crazy. There is some seating inside and outside the bar. We got there early enough to swipe a table. There were people standing and waiting for a table while waiting for their orders. Service was excellent! Tables are first come first serve. Plenty of parking in the back parking lot. I wouldn't wait in the rain for this but it was definitely worth a try!

    Hop City is such a popular spot. Yes, located within Krog Street Market does help somewhat. But the…read morevariety here was impressive. You can buy beer, wine, hard liquor, and even drinks laced with THC. The quantity/size varies depending on the brand and type as with most beers for instance. But, you can also buy a single can to try out if you're less daring (or should I say more daring -- haha) and want more variety. Though pricing for a single can is a mystery, it starts around $2.99 a can (I think). With its variety, you can try local beers to craft ones. Their shelves are labeled so you can choose whatever's your mood. There are sweet beers to IPA's to some with chocolate. I think that's why I like this spot: variety. At the front where the cash registers are, I believe there's a bar. I haven't experienced this side personally, but I did see people standing around sampling stuff.

    When I think of Krog Street Market, I tend to think about the food there, but grabbing a drink here…read morehas made me rethink that. Hop City is a great little bar inside of Krog that has a huge variety of options. Their beer list is extensive and they also have a variety of ciders, seltzers, wines, and cocktails. The Assistant General Manager was working when we went and he was beyond helpful and did not steer any of us wrong in what to get based on our preferences. He's a great person to get drink advice from and is also super friendly and nice to talk to! There is also an entire beer store that the bar is attached to, where the selection is very expansive. Make sure to check the store and bar hours, though, as Krog Street Market and all the shops close early, especially during the week (9pm when we went).

    DRINK BEER HERE! After lunch this place caught my eye as…read moretheir beer and alcohol selection on tap looked expansive (56 to be exact--44 beers and 14 wines), especially for a location in the food hall. Aside from what's on tap they carry a selection of bottled and canned beers and wines too. From their website their initial vision was to be a growler shop, and they've been able to do that here at this location since it opened in 2016. This means offering refillable containers of varying sizes making it possible to offer independent brewers that may not have their own bottling/canning capabilities. Their staff is very knowledgeable and willing to offer recommendations based on your preferences. I tried a few things: - New Realm Oaxaca Chocolate (Mexican chocolate stout) $8.99 for 16.9oz thermos: I loved this dark beer with a deep malty chocolate note that leaves a hint of chili spice on your tongue. - Meridian Hive Apple Pie Mead $7.99 for a 8oz pour. On the sweeter side for a mead though not overly so. I liked the honey flavor lingering in the background. - Atlanta Hard Cider Co Cranberry craft cider $6.95 this local seasonal cider hails from Marietta, I enjoyed the balance of sweet and tart, not a flavor you usually see for ciders and I appreciate the creativity! Seating for The Tap is plentiful in the area directly across from the counter, both high tables with stools and regular lower tables with chairs.

They hold a jazz night every Tuesday with live music for a nice chill, yet fun, vibe. Just a warning, the space inside is pretty small--typically there's optional seating outside, but it's really chilly at the moment (although they have heaters)--but there's more seating downstairs in The Victorian Atlanta plant shop. I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!
