    Even their water gets an umbrella
    Carrie H.

    Strangers in Paradise is such a fun cocktail bar! The decor is on point. I do not know who their interior designer is, but they need an award! The postcard wall is my favorite, and I really wish I could make one in my house. If you are lucky, Terrance will serve you. He is the best bartender! Everyone who works there is fantastic. If you have a larger party, you can sit in one of the couch lounge areas, or if there are just a few of you. You can take a seat at the massive bar. All of their drinks are so much fun, but my favorite is the one in the cup. I also love the cute toothpicks. They put all the fruit on. I like him so much that I keep them and put the toothpicks in my plants at home.

    Never had a bad drink here This bar is located in the food hall at Lee + White If you're with a squad, get the Cheeseburger in Paradise, it's a hoot.

    Sitting area in front of the bar... the band was seen in this area.

    This area sits off one of the many entrances of the Beltline. Really, really cute! It sits in a food hall but it definitely transports you to a paradise island beach side bar. It is a bar only but you are able to bring your food over. The bartender gave upbeat energy and amazing service. They have some cool drinks, he made us something not on the menu a Julep... good but strong, I needed a little more chaser....lol. I've been to the Food Hall before and in passing, I seen they have a band sometime. I enjoyed my time there and will be going back for sure. FYI... the parking is now paid parking, PLEASE don't get got like I did! It is free for the first 2hrs., so look for the QR code and be sure to register your tag.

    Super fun tropical cocktail bar tucked inside the Lee + White food hall! The vibe is laid-back with quirky vintage decor and beachy energy that makes you feel like you've escaped to the coast. Drinks are creative and colorful (great conversation starters ), and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Perfect spot for happy hour or a chill night out with friends.

    I've been to this cocktail bar twice now and it's amazing. It sits right at the entry of Lee + White on the Food Hall side and has this vintage tropical decor. You'll definitely feel like it's the new Cheers - a place where everybody knows your name. The cocktails are fun and refreshing. They'll make up something or you can order off the menu. Most recently I attended an Alumni Meet & Greet event for Clark Atlanta University and prior to that for Homecoming pre-game. I had a whiskey cocktail that was on the stronger side - no complaints! My server was actually the GM and he was awesome. Calm, cool, great smile and came out from behind the bar to help guests. The other bartenders were attentive and friendly. I love when a bar reads the room and not talk to themselves. Check them out when you're in the West End.

    Love the Caribbean vacation feel, -but also almost feel like a Floridian retirement retreat. The vibes and 70s decor will take you back in time. Outstanding drinks. Creative menu, and generous with proportions. Excellent servers and service. check out the ever-changing menu with some classics and modern twist. Also plenty of mocktails-but those of us who won a party responsibly

    View of the bar. Can't miss the neon alligator!

    Strangers in Paradise is a fantastic addition to the Lee& White food hall. The uptick in foot traffic on the grand opening night was sizable. The drinks offered are new and elevates twists on classics. From your Miami Vice to your Pina Colada and even new inventive drinks like a Pink Flamingo. The vibe represents a 1980's/ 1990's south Florida resort hotel bar. With the garage door open and under the glow of the neon alligator, you certainly feel like you're in SoFlo! Drinks range from $13-$16 and craft beer from local ATL breweries are $6/$7. From the Lady Bird/ Ranger Station hospitality group, Strangers in Paradise is sure to make us all Friends in Paradise by the end of summer!

    Such a fun bar with cool decor and chill vibes! Had a Birthday meet up here and it turned out awesome. There were still specials and services was prompt. The bartenders were friendly and fun! There is plenty free parking. The bar is located in the food hall so while they don't serve food, there are plenty of options right where you are.

    This is the bar located in the Lee + White food hall, it's right in the front and has a very tropical Caribbean feel to it, there are two conversational sofa sets in addition to seating around the bar. They had two mocktail options the day I visited and it was pretty chill. The service was good, I was greeted by both bartenders and offered a menu without having to ask. I ordered the Sun Pass an alcoholic free drink that was $8. It was electric green with three slices of kiwi in it. It was refreshing, delicious, however it was ice heavy so next time I would ask for light ice. If you enjoy tropical drinks this is your spot.

    What a beautiful discovery!!! I have found something else to add to my weekly dose of happiness. This place makes you feel like you are on vacation....the aura of the bar, the open garage , the whole aesthetic made me forget I was in ATL. Terrance was the bartender, and he was the sweetest!!! Since I was feeling vacation-y, I ordered (quite a few) Piña Coladas. They were delicious, I'm curious to know which rum it was made with, cuz it was just the right amount of strong. The overall atmosphere is super dope. You have the nice breeze coming from the open garage concept, the lighting for outdoor seating was perfect too. I am already planning to go back next week. This was such a treat!

    This new bar is located within Lee + White football. It's sooo cute and tropical vibes especially with fun cups! I came in a group of 3 and we sat at the bar. The staff is friendly and they have tons of options including mocktails. Terrance was so fun to chat with! The drinks prices are fair considering tons of free parking. I would definitely come back!

    Moonlight has been one of Atlanta's tougher to get rooftop bars since its opening. Booked up nearly…read moreall the time and for some good reasons. There probably isn't a bar in the city that offers as breathtaking of a view as does Moonlight. The panorama of all three of Atlanta's skyscraper centers is clearly visible, along with the historical architecture of Ponce City Market. The crowd is mix of tourists and locals in their 20s and 30s. The cocktails are solid. Food is decent, nothing to rave about, but again, hopefully nobody is here for the food. The lobster roll was very bread heavy and the useless dab of caviar was just a wasteful decoration. Yet, the atmosphere of the place, situated in the beautiful Forth hotel makes Moonlight an incredible spot for drinks.

Please do not expect a full dinner but there are great options to keep the night going. I was kinda sad that both myself and my friend were celebrating our birthday but because we were the same table, we could only get one glass of champagne. It does get crowded and I really suggest making a reservation. I made one and even still it took ages to get a table. A reservation doesn't promise a table right away but keeps you in an active queue. I can't wait to go back again.

It's typically packed, especially when the weather is nice. As far as the food goes, it's okay. Nothing bad, but also nothing I've had here has ever really impressed me. I usually just grab the fries when I'm there because they're easy and consistent. The biggest draw for me is really the location more than the menu. It works well for a casual stop, a drink, or a quick bite before or after walking the BeltLine. Convenient, lively, and well located, but the food itself is nothing to write home about.

You have to worry about validating because they do validate so just keep that in mind. You'll park in the structure and then walk over to the restaurant but at that point you'll be able to get a validation code. Validation code will get something sent to your phone and you'll use it to negate the parking. Coming in the service was pretty good. Last time I went in it was actually pretty quiet and nobody was there so I got all the servers and bartenders to myself lol. But seriously everybody was super nice and really friendly and explained the menu very well and no complaints about that See you space cowboy - This was a pretty good and very balanced drink. I wanted something with bourbon in it so this is what I came up with from looking at the menu. Pretty solid and not overpowering at all. Salt and pepper shrimp - the salt and pepper shrimp was the star of the show to me as far as the appetizers that I had. It came with five of them but I could probably have eaten 25 of those joints. They were amazing. Out of the appetizers that I had, they were the best ones and they actually came pretty large. It's not like you got little baby shrimp. These were impactful, powerful shrimp that packed a heck of a flavor. I would 200% get these again and maybe I might get three orders of them by myself lol. Soft shell crab - the crab was good but the crab itself was only okay but the sauce in the bowl of the crab actually carried it. It's not a bad thing, but at the same time by itself it was only okay but the sauce definitely added a little extra to it. Grilled Octopus - the octopus was pretty good but at the same time it was a little more chewy than I would've liked it to be. It wasn't impossibly chewy. It was actually still pretty good. The thing that made the octopus actually pop was the sauce that came with it. The sauce was like a chili-lime sauce and that actually carried the dish itself. Without that it would've just been okay but the sauce definitely helped. The sauce went well with a couple of things actually . But I'll still order doctors again. It was actually pretty decent. Bangkok Hot fries - the fries are actually good. They had a a spice to them. That was a kick in the face but also citrusy as well. So you got a little bit of heat and citrus at the same time. They came out really good. Hot fresh and that would have been really good on a burger LOL Overall, it smells pretty good if you want small plates. This is a spot to go to now. They do have regular and large size portions, but that's not this place's bag, which is okay. If you're in the business of just trying a bunch of stuff, this is a good spot to go to because they actually have a combo where you can get a few things off of the small place menu to try and share. This is a good spot if you just want to stop in somewhere to try a few Asian dishes.
