Now this was a treat. 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. read more

A great small cocktail spot with an even better happy hour (until 8pm!). All the bartenders were super friendly and our dirty martinis were made very well. Definitely would return to try some of their special cocktails read more

Great bar for happy hour in Inman! Got a round of gin/vodka martinis, dirty, shaken, and they were very well made and balanced. Our bartender was very informative about different cocktails on the menu, and the ambiance was thankfully rather quiet. Over time it filled up, and by that time we had moved on to a Manhattan, also very well made. Next time will have to try their hot dogs or grilled cheese sandos that are on happy hour as well! read more

Little Spirit is a cute cocktail bar in Inman Park. The place is small and can get very crowded on the weekend but tends to be not as full during the week. 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). read more

Little spirit but full of vibes. This was an after dinner spot we walked to. It was so cute, dim lighting, fun paintings on the wall and great drinks. I had the 'lime in the coconut' and it came out in a cute coconut cup! This spot is a great spot for after dates, after a meal and you don't want to go home quite yet. read more

I thought I was getting stood up and the bartenders were AMAZING! Made me the best drinks and kept me entertained the whole night lol. I then realized I had the wrong night so it was totally my mistake . The guy ended up meeting me there anyway so that he could clear his good name lolol. read more

Fun bar to drop in if you're in the Virginia highlands area. It's kind of small but great energy and the bartenders are able to handle the crowd. My favorite time to visit is during the holidays when they decorate for Christmas! read more

Kitschy vibe with overpriced drinks. My sister and I came here for a pre-dinner cocktail and there was no wait--we came straight up to the bar and liked the fun, nostalgic Christmas decor. We ordered a couple drinks which were about $20 each plus tip. There's a decent amount of seating throughout the bar. Service was not notable, ambience was very average, and drinks were served in sticky glassware with unimpressive flavors. read more

Little Spirit - Holiday Cocktails - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

HIDDEN GEM. This little bar, while on the Main Street, is rather unassuming from the street but is such a fun time once you get inside. Complete with epic portraits, like Tupac and Biggie and red lights. Space is small but has limited comfy seating in the back if you get lucky, or standing room at the bar. Bartenders know what they're doing and there are always witty named, interesting cocktails, in addition to expertly crafted classic cocktails. There's usually a frozen option too. Check out their insta, where they broadcast extra special cocktails. This is always a fave and a place we take guests in town too! read more

This became my new favorite bar after going here. Vibes are top notch. Dark speak easy vibes with great music, and it wasn't too loud! Service was excellent, so efficient. The cocktails were more complex and they still came out so fast. I got the snap crackle wap and this is literally my new favorite drink. It was so unique and creamy. I would get again and again! read more

Caroline is the best bartender!!! The dirty martini is amazing. Will be back for sure!

Super dope spot. It made it to one of the best bars in the area on some list I saw, well deserved. It's a diverse alcoholic shop, so you can go from beer to gin to whiskey all in the same trip (not that you should lol). Bartenders have always been super helpful and I appreciate the insight. The area is dark but not in a dreary way, but just in a dim and low key chill way. They have amazing decorations, paying respect to the treats (ie prince or biggie). There is not a lot of space there to sit so that is why you may see people inside and outside. It's in a great area that is pretty walkable so you can easily do his in passing on your way to or from more her hopping. I would recommend ... they change drinks so you never know what u will get. read more

one of my favorite cocktail/mocktail bars in the city! Always consistent, reliable, and the hours are great. They are open & close at 2AM everyday except for Sundays. They are closed just like Chick Fila haha. If you're looking for a craft cocktail off the late night & not just some basic pub basic drink you could make at home ( jack & coke) ... Little Spirit is a nice go to! read more

I've been here a couple times with friends. Usually great cocktails and good service and we enjoy the cool vibe. First time here was on a Saturday night around 9 pm and it had a short line. Last night after dinner we stopped by for a few cocktails around 8:30 pm on a Thursday night. No line at all and got our drinks quite fast. Excellent cocktails, and no we didn't try any hotdogs. read more

Came here at 11:00 on a Tuesday night just looking for something to eat while I was in the area. The staff took their time in describing the hotdog options since I've never been here before. I chose the Katsu dog since it sounded really unique. It was quite delicious, and I quickly downed it. I was also happy to know that each hotdog comes with a bag of chips as well. I honestly would love to try the Kimchi dog next! Also, my friend ordered It Was All A Dream and allowed me to try. It was extremely smooth and gives a tropical vibe. Highly recommend it! The place itself is really small so there is very limited seating. It thankfully wasn't too packed when I was there but I can imagine how long of a wait it might be when it is. Either way, it's a cool place to try out for a night if you're in Inman park! read more

We came here last weekend while we were in the area, and I'm so surprised that we haven't been here before! We absolutely loved it. The drinks are very experimental and different than a lot of other bars in the area. The garnishes are adorable and the drinks taste fabulous! More food options would have been nice, but I do understand that it's a bar and not a restaurant. The ambience is dark and alternative, I just wish there were more seating options. The guy checking ID's outside was very friendly and the bartenders were cool. We will definitely be back! read more

Ambiance is low key chill spot on North Highland... Be careful about ordering off the menu. The Bartenders or the Mixologist up at the bar.,which are 2 lovely friendly females(depend on what the day brought) can be a little intimidating with redirecting your drink ingredients!! Just saying chill , less can be best!! But besides those frills this place is a late night vibe..pop in pop out ..next spot read more

Came here for the first time on a Saturday night with a friend and it was good! I really enjoyed that they had their own specialty creative cocktails to order, being about $14-15 each, which isn't too bad for Atlanta. It was pretty busy inside, but never hard to get a drink. The only reason I'm knocking off a star is just because the music was a little too oddly loud to the point that I was literally having a lot of trouble hearing anything my friend was saying. BUT the music was good, so I can't be too upset about it! I also wish that there was a bit more space, it's a quite small spot with a lot of people standing around in the way! read more

Had such a fun time on a Saturday night after having had walked over from the Beltline just before. There was no line or cover fees which is always a relief as someone who moved here from Boston. The bartenders take pride in their work and really put their all into making practical and tasty drinks! The atmosphere is dark but very comfortable and lively. Would certainly come again! read more

As always, delicious cocktails, beautifully crafted and well priced. the artistry! read more

I hadnt heard of this spot before but came because friend suggested it for drinks. There was a slight line but it moved pretty quickly. I did have to wait a few mins since the place was initially at capacity but not long. Once inside I tried a few different drinks (a fruity pebble and a ziggy stardust). Both drinks were really well made and the bartenders were really nice. I would definitely go back for pre-dinner cocktails again. read more

Little Spirit is a cool and eclectic place to get drinks. Some friends and I were doing a bar crawl last Friday night and this was our first stop. To our surprise, there was a little wait to get in. It was very congested, but they tried to move the line as quickly as possible. Once we got in, we all ordered an variety of drinks. The names of the drinks are an ode to Hip Hop with clever names like the LL mule J and ODB, just to name a few. The drinks were overall good and the vibe was great. I definitely plan to come back in the future. read more

This bar was stupid busy on a Saturday around 12:30a. We had to wait a little in line to get in. The place is pretty tiny and the bar is in the front and jammed right up by the door. Ample space once we could get away from the bar to the back area (still fairly small though). We even snagged some stools along the wall. Cool drink names and tasty ingredients made for a nice nightcap but very loud so don't plan on chatting much. read more

Came here for the first time pre-COVID. And it was a freaking drunken doozy. The decor is awesome - art of legendary musicians cover the walls - definitely take some time to appreciate it! Drinks aren't cheap but they're strong and delicious. If you're trying to get turnt, any drink on the menu will get you there. The first drink I tried wasn't super memorable but then I ordered the Sex Panther, which comes in the CUTEST cat cup with gold metal straw and I was SOLD. It's dangerously strong without tasting like it. The bartenders seemed a bit standoffish but they were all super skilled (or at least appeared to be) and were able to multitask well, even with the huge crowd around the bar. Definitely understand why they're standoffish since it's so hard to talk when you're slammed with drink orders, though!! I haven't been back since COVID but sounds like they've got some great socially distanced concepts going on, so I may have to stop in one night when it's not too busy! read more

A cute little bar in Inman park area. It's pretty small bar so you do have to wait for people to leave to get in. The drinks are pretty good and I would especially recommend the Bedrock Betty.

Nice little bar! (Emphasis on little). I came to Little Spirit during the Holiday season when it was decorated and I LOVED the atmosphere, Holiday decorations, and themed drinks! They had a boozy hot chocolate that I tried which was so fun! The lighting was primarily red and they had fun colorful holiday lights hanging as well. Overall the space though is a little awkward. It is pretty small inside and not much of an opportunity to find a seat or not see the entire bar from wherever you are. They do have a clean one stall bathroom as well. I went pretty late so there wasn't a line, but every time I pass by Little Spirit on a night out there is a long line so be prepared for that. Definitely recommend checking it out! read more

Hilariously unpleasant staff. If I wanted the barista experience I'd go to a coffee shop lol. Drinks were alright, some interesting mixes. Absolutely no snacks. The owner clearly is pissed walking around, door guy is flustered by someone walking up, bartender was standoffish, bar-back? was bizarre. For the 'tender: the correct way to handle a missing ingredient is to inform the customer that you are missing the ingredient before serving it in the off chance they'd like another option. Not to wait until they ask why their drink is missing something. Dude followed up with "ya if you want boba it's coming at 8." No apologies, no offers to change the drink. Just a weird look following up that "it'll be here at 8". God forbid you try to make the experience a tiny bit pleasant hahaha. I'm from LA the capital of standoffish and aggressively lazy folks. You guys are somehow worse than us lmao. POSITIVES Bartender knows how to mix! Good stuff! A lot of great ideas and concepts. Fun little patio. Fun artwork. Clean bathrooms. Nice tunes. NEGATIVES Staff is portland incarnate. read more

Summary: if you're thinking of going just go, don't debate it. You won't regret it. Cool: for their ODB cocktail they stamp the ice with the WuTang symbol: WHO DOES THAT?! COVID: we sat inside, were socially distanced from other parties, and wore our masks to interact with the staff and when we left our seating area. Long version: Friends and I were visiting from The Bay (CA) and ended up at this amazing bar by chance: it was one of the places on our list that stayed open late. We made our way over to see what the ATL craft cocktail scene had to offer and were not disappointed. Jordan(or Jordyn) is an amazing floor manager. Her attitude literally sets the mood and by the time she sat us we were super excited to see what the night would bring. I cannot say enough good things about her. As former FOH, I know how difficult her job is; she executes her duties with a smile on her face and creates a welcoming environment for everyone. (To Jordan: sorry about the flashing lights) Caroline was our superstar bartender. Her mixing skills are impressive: everything she made was delicious! I feel we may have tried everything on the menu so we can confidently say her work is amazing. She's attentive, it felt as if she was ready for our drink orders and they were ready quickly but didn't compromise quality. Plus side: it's in a cute neighborhood with other bars. In case there is a line you'll have more options but this place is worth the wait. read more

Little Spirit is a fun bar located on the main strip in Inman park. The bar is walk up(there may also be servers) and seats seem to be first come first Serve.

Free parking for 3 hours in the parking lot by Barcelona. read more

We found this place when we were on a layover in Atlanta 2 years ago. It was their first year with the Christmas menu and we told ourselves we HAD to come back. Well, sure enough, we decided to revisit and I am so glad we did! Little Spirit is taking all precautions seriously. They have walls separating employee and customer, you have specific seating, and 6 ft (or more) from others. Two of my favorite Christmas cocktails was Bad Thanta, which is aged rum, chai, carrot, coffee, lime, egg white, and bitters. The other was Jingle Balls, which is aged rums, lime, sweet potato orgeat, marshmallow-stout syrup. Even though the Christmas menu ended, their menu is always changing and delicious as the last. We are excited to revisit in the future! Highly recommended!!! read more

The Short: Go here! Amazing cocktail bar with an amazing staff! The Long: We were out in Atlanta for one night and were looking for some good cocktail bars. While perusing though Yelp, Little Spirit popped up. Saw some awesome photos of the interior and looked like a cool little bar so we went. We got and and saw all the lights and decorations up. As with most bars during December, they were all decked out too. We then browsed the menu and saw some really interesting creations. Of those creations, one of them that stuck out to me was the "its made out of cookies". This included a Biscotti infused rum along with many other interesting ingredients such as egg whites, banana liqueur, coochi american and bitters. IT WAS AMAZING! We then tried a couple other drinks which were all great. The staff really knows what they are doing and it shows in their end product. In short, you can't go wrong with anything here. I strongly suggest a visit to this awesome little bar in Atlanta. It was definitely worth the trip out there. read more
