Have you ever wondered what purgatory feels like?! It's Friday night - and all you want is a strong, dirty Cosmo to calm the nerves. Well - if you really want it... you'll have to wait here. Sometime in excess of 30 minutes. This place is one of the closest I've ever felt to the afterlife - in a very mediocre way. I like to think that I'll end up in purgatory. But after the dreadful wait time on that Cosmo I truly wonder if hell is better. I'm giving 3 stars because the ambiance is well above average for a hotel bar in Atlanta. read more

Truly enjoy the atmosphere here. Very easy to get into with little disruption. We had a section and had attentive staff waiting on us, suya was delicious as well. read more

The piedmont sidecar is awesome! Kiki our server is sweet and caring to our needs. The vibe of the place offers relaxing and charming vibes. The bread is nice! read more

Extremely impressive design. Lush space with A+ drinks. The food is okay -- however I wouldn't plan on coming here for a full course meal, this is definitely an either before or after dinner venue. They had a DJ playing on the Friday night that I attended, very very good variety of music. There is a parking garage right next to the hotel which is nice, valet is offered up front. I would definitely return, one of the most modern and bourgeoisie locations yet. read more

I'm not sure I've ever left a review with Yelp. But I have to do it to describe how poor my experience was with one bartender here tonight. The bar is fairly busy but I'm still able to walk up to it where I patiently wait to order a drink. I look at the drinks menu, uninspiring but the blackberry smash looks like the best of the bunch. Bartender gets to me and I say I would like a blackberry smash. She gives me a weird look and says "I wouldn't, I would get one of the local beers" well of course you would, it's busy in here and you don't want to make that drink. Ok, fine. I'll get an old fashioned. Super easy to make. She said "really?". I'm not asking you to conjure a spirit for my spirits, just a simple old fashioned. I tell her yes and she proceeds to make the worst old fashioned I've ever had in my life. Just LOADED down with simple syrup. I feel like I should bill Marriott for my diabetes after the two sips I took from that catastrophe. She was just rude and clearly didn't want to be there. I have status with Marriott (Bonvoy?), travel a decent bit for work and have never had that poor of an experience at one of their on-property bars. You'll probably have a great experience if you get someone else. read more

This is a very nice bar! It has nice seating inside and outside. I can see why they call it the Living room bar! It is conformable like your own living room, but very chic! We were staying at the hotel on a Saturday and we decided to redeem our complimentary drink tickets before we got ready for dinner. We sat at the bar and looked at the menu. They have an extensive cocktail menu! The bar staff greeted us right away. One drink that stood out to me was the Jalapeno margarita! My friend had ordered the Lavender margarita. Both were delicious and strong, but my margarita was the winner for me. If you like margaritas and you like things hot, this is the drink for you! The drinks here are a little pricey, but that's to be expected. The regular price for our drinks were $10. The bar staff were still nice and attentive to us even though we had our complimentary drink tickets. I was afraid they were going to turn their noses up at us while thinking "Cheap mofos". But I'm sure only hotel guests get the complimentary drink tickets, which maybe is why they were still nice to us. This bar has a chill atmosphere and good drinks. I will probably stop by here when I'm in Midtown again. read more

This place is an upscale lounge located in midtown Atlanta. The place is well decorated complete with a bar, kitchen, indoor and outdoor patio seating. The signature drinks are sweet, the service was swift, they had decent service. This place gets loud and the voices resonates, but it's a good vibe to get a drink and talk and catch up with people. Tonight, I went to the Julia Michaels concert. They made a makeshift stage on the middle stairs. The performance was great! People were taking during the performance and it got loud due to crowd noise, but it was still enjoyable. I'd come here again. read more

Great Dirty Martini's , Black Raspberry Martini and delicious deviled eggs. Late evening hard to get a seat for two, but eventually found a couch. We met some local who were just the nicest people ever. Georgian's really are friendly and helpful people. I wouldn't hesitate to visit this state again. read more

During this stay at the W, I spent several hours in the Living Room. (Or perhaps more accurately, outside smoking cigars on the patio.) It was better than my experience during my last stay at the W. Vickie is still a terrific bartender. The others are okay. Service was mostly good, although on one occasion it took a long time to get someone to bus the refuse from a previous group. Three out of four servers were excellent. They have a small list of over priced cigars, but you can bring your own. It's a good place to smoke and have a cocktail. After my previous visit, I wrote: Service and quality of drinks varied greatly during the three nights I stayed at at the W. Vickie was an outstanding bartender. Quick, friendly, and knew how to make the classic cocktails. Unfortunately, she seemed to be one of a kind at the Midtown W. The other bartenders ranged from okay to terrible. I don't know how it's possible to screw up a mojito, but on Saturday night one of them managed to do so. Also on Saturday night, I can't remember another time when I've been a guest at the hotel and have been required to leave my ID at the bar to keep my tab open. This was the only time during a three night stay when the bartender even asked for my ID much less insisted on keeping it until I closed my check. Service was generally good, although there were a few times when things were slow and servers spent more time chatting with the bartender than paying attention to guests. Overall, it was pretty disappointing. read more

I love our waitress, Alexis! She's Amazing. Incredibly helpful!! We ordered a gin a tonic and she was so sweet when we were deciding on which one to go with next, she brought us a half shot each. When we mentioned that we were looking for a place to eat she happily sent over two gentlemen to give us a professional opinion of a fantastic restaurant. One of the gentleman, the concierge, Nathan was amazing & made reservations for us for dinner and set up a driver to take us there. We both got gin-a-tonic's one with Hendric and the other was the botanist. AMAZING!!! On a side note about the so called amazing concierge.. As nice as the concierge service was, it was lacking. My reservation at the W was set in midtown to enjoy midtown. Unfortunately we got bad advice. They recommended a restaurant in Buckhead and set up a driver to bring us. The driver over 20-minuses late and couldn't even find the place. He kept saying he didn't know the area and come to find out he lives in Buckhead. We ended up wasting a lot of time as he drove us back to midtown. read more

See all

Yelpers got a little over zealous on this one. Not 4.5 stars. Try 2 but I could give it 3 because I like the patio. No ambience inside, bar and seating kind of shoved in the corner like an after thought. No fung shway. The place is dirty as were the glasses. I did like the patio though, good lay out and being in the city but not directly on the street read more

Living Room - Patio - Lounges Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This is the W's Hotel's trendy lobby bar, where all the beautiful people hang out and awkwardly stare and size each other up. If you've been to a W before, you know what to expect. I've grown out of my love-of-all-W-hotels phase, but this one happened to be close to a building I needed to visit for business. One thing I'll never tire of here is the friendly service. Bartenders, front desk staff -- everyone delivers on the W "whatever, whenever" promise. (Though I've really never tested that out to its fullest extent.) For me: Whatever = a good Manhattan. Whenever = right now. And sitting in the Living Room sipping one or maybe three of them while I catch up on work is an A-OK way to spend an otherwise boring Monday night in "Hotlanta." read more

This place is awesome, best customer service. We wanted to try a new gin, so only ordered one. It was very nice, then the server came by and asked what we thought. She suggested we try our usual Hendrick and the Botanist side by side and brought us a half shot of each ...then we said we were looking for some place to go for dinner...she brought us two very nice gentlemen. We told then what weliked to eat, they suggested a restaurant. Then Nathan made our reservation and scheduled us a driver to take us there. While we continued to enjoy our drinks at the Living room....it really felt like one...By the way our server was Alexis...she is amazing. read more

Living Room - Nathan is awesome... - Lounges Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I went midnight on a Saturday night of Halloween weekend...so this was a huge night for nightlife in Atlanta. The decor & drinks are amazing, super awesome spot. Just not quite my Spot for the mood I was in. Warning: at night-if not going with valet-, you have to park in the parking garage connected to the hotel and walk out...the entrance from the parking deck locks at 10..for whatever reason. Drinks are great & nice appetizers. For my young professional bachelorettes that aren't WASP, not a place to go looking for a fun time and meet cool guys. Instead, a nice place to meet up with friends to drink, dine & chat. The crowd is mostly white people who mostly talk to the people they came with...so do not show up here by yourself. No cover charge, and different levels and rooms to hangout in. read more

First time here to celebrate a friend's bachelorette. This was actually a pretty comfortable bar/lounge on the first floor of the W Hotel Midtown. I had the Lemongrass Drop martini. I'm a fan of lemon drops because they're usually a bit sweet but citrusy. I had my hesitations about ordering this one at first because lemongrass can be hit or miss. I thought it might have a strong herb taste/smell to it, but it turned out to be delicious. It's not as sweet as a usual lemon drop and it's refreshing. I'd say the taste is more like grapefruit than lemon. Oh, and their Moscow Mules aren't served in copper mugs. :( I think the only con to this place is that cocktails are on the expensive side. $13 for a Martini? Meh.. Service was good though and our waitress even brought us waters after we closed out. read more

This turned out to be a stand out experience on my recent trip to Atlanta. Came here on a Sunday afternoon while my buddies and I were kicking back for a few hours before a wedding. This place definitely has some of the most interesting decor you'll ever see. Futuristic lights hanging form the ceiling and couches spread out through out the large bar area. We parked it at the bar and ordered some drinks. The bartender couldn't have been nicer and she allowed me to smaller some rums before I actually chose which one I wanted. Rum selection wasn't great, but there were a few good ones in there. Se went out of her way to make my buddy a special mojito based on his specific taste and she bought us a round of show as well. All of this made for a very pleasurable afternoon leading up to the wedding. I only wish I came to this place at night as I'm sure the night time scene is probably is probably awesome. I personally haven't seen any places like this in Atlanta, so this place as a big stand out. I'll definitely be back here on my next trip to Atlanta and it will definitely be at night! read more

Went here as i was on a walk through the neighborhood. Ashlyn was a great hosts recommending beverages and appetizers. She was helpful and informative with suggestions about not only the W but the area we visited. Nice girl who made the visit enjoyable. read more

Was in town for a few days and had many visitors trying to see us during our stay at the W midtown, so we entertained at the living room restaurant. The food cane out quickly and was excellent. The staff were flexible and very professional. They did not ball at any request. The buffalo chicken salad and there buffalo wings were old school and delicious. The lemon pepper wings stole the show and we ordered several more throughout the night! We will definitely be returning there even if we are just passing through it's a new favorite spot for us in the ATL! read more

Order the French Saint. It will have you saying "ooh la la" after one sip. Fabulous cocktails. Fabulous bartender, Quincey, amazing server Derrick. All in all, a great time! read more

Went here on a Sunday around 7:00 pm. The bar tender I don't know his name. Description (heavy set, 30-40 year old, white, facial hair). The bar tender was rude to my extremely polite date, who was pleasant throughout the whole experience. We both just assumed he was having a bad night and didn't try to upset him. Got home and checked my financial statement. The guy up charged or tipped himself about $15 on top of our $35 bill. Now that I've seen this I will never go back to this very nice lounge, and bar tender if your reading this, your going to need to keep your head up, because if I see you, I'm taking payment for your scam one way or the other. read more

Had Matt as a bartender, and he was knowledgeable and friendly. Drinks were prompt and competent. I think this place is a notch or two above the average hotel bar. The menu is ambitious, but they follow through on the details. The indoor/outdoor split is particularly nice considering the local climate. The staff don't seem afraid to speak their mind about the menu choices, which usually speaks well to management. Decor is upscale and modern. read more

We stayed over at the W Hotel to celebrate my friends graduation. We had this room which was phenomenon. We went to the top bar, it dim light and OK music. After dinner, we spend some time at the Living Room, it's was so much fun. We enjoyed spending time here drinking and chilling on the patio. We ran into some Hollywood actors. My friend and I met Tara Reid here. read more

Ate here several times. Great burgers, great charcuterie app, good mixed drinks. Tv's. Great seating. Outdoor dining.

Went here cause we went allowed at the burkharts pub. This place has amazing scenery. Delicious food and drinks. Must try

Friendly bartender, gave great suggestions for cocktails. Grapefruit martini was so good, my girl friend had 3 even though she said she was only going to have 1 drink tonight. Cute spot with plenty of random seating everywhere. I wanted to sit on every unique piece. There was also a wooden tic tac toe game and some random coffee table books for mild amusement. read more

Honestly, this place should be five stars... Lots of staff, tons of room, and the drinks are delicious. Would definitely come back here!

I have stayed at this W Hotel many times over the years and the lobby bar is always overpriced but it IS the W in midtown Atlanta. The bartenders have always been very good until tonight. I ordered a rye whiskey with very light rocks (I specified 2 cubes only) but got a glass with 8-10 pieces of ice in it. Didn't complain though because maybe she didn't hear me or understand. Ordered a 2nd glass and clearly said I wanted 2 cubes of ice. Got 8-10 again. Used my fingers to pull all but 2 cubes out of the glass onto the bar. I think she got the hint. Anyway, I like vibe at W Hotels and just wish this bartender actually listened to customers. read more

Kristian was very friendly and also she made the best patron margarita I ever had service was great

Service was terrible. Once my food and drink order were placed, I was completely ignored. And the place was not that busy.

There was one other person sitting at bar at 1 pm. I ordered sliders and it took 30 minutes. When I finally got then everything was cold. Bartender was more concerned with her phone than serving her customers. Bad service. read more

Hmm what can I say. I'm a sucker for hotel bars but this one has little character, and by character I don't mean the decor which is quite nice but the crowd was a bit iffy. All bartenders were women, I appreciate a mix. And $15 for two mini slider burgers is a bit of a rip off. But hey it's at the W so expect expensive. It has a nice outside sitting area. Music is typical lounge music, elevator like songs. Parking is validated but with what they charge for food and drinks it probably covers parking in their prices. It's a Wednesday so I didn't expect a big crowd. read more

The décor is interesting, the service and drink choices are good. Wasn't crazy on the type of crowd - i.e. lonely business
