    The upper room is located inside Ponce City Market, in an area with other vendors set up in a large room. The Upper Room offers cocktails, coffee drinks and wine and I'm not sure if they offer food of any kind. I did find the cocktail drinks to be somewhat small in size. They were pretty good and with the two drinks that I did purchase I believe the total was between $35-$37. The customer service was really good, there's a nice area where you can sit down on couches and kind of chill and scope out the area and see what the different vendors have to offer. Again, the drink was really good, but overall for the size and the price not sure if it was necessarily worth it. Especially being inside a location like this, and not necessarily an actual bar.

    Great service! Great ambiance. I also really liked the fact that they were in the epicenter of a bunch of other vendors around so you can kind of explore while you get a drink! They're a black owned bar, that has around 80% of black owned top shelf liquor. I tried the upper room drink. I'd say it honestly tastes like a lemon drop with a hint of lavender and a little less sour. Would recommend! Considering everything is higher shelf the prices aren't bad at all. I've had mid shelf stuff for this same price in BHM so I'm definitely not complaining.

The shop is small but cozy - but we loved the outdoor seating the most, especially on a warm fall day in Atlanta, since it's dog friendly. They offer full pours or various wine flight options found on their educational tasting flights menu. I decided to try the Pet Nat What, which offers 3 3oz pours for $15. The flight comes in branded Vin ATL glasses and a cute wooden flight board that makes it easy to carry yourself. And if you like any of the 3, you can also opt for a full pour, which has the pricing listed next to it. My favorite was the Heaps Offshoot, a Blaufränkisch, which I've never tried before. Nearly all their wines are organically or sustainably farmed. I love that the menu also provides recommendations for how you can enjoy the wine - with what dish, chilled or room temp, etc. We will definitely be back, although maybe once the weather heats up a little bit, because this impending snowy weather in Atlanta is no joke! Although maybe it would be an even better idea to pick up a bottle of wine ASAP before the snowstorm hits!

    We've been meaning to get here for awhile. Heard great things and was not disappointed…read more My love is a lover of rieslings. Unfortunately, the menu option by the glass was out. Without asking, the tatted up dude bartender (I'm horrible with names) went and asked if he could pop open another option. Owners agreed and boom, we were tasting this glorious option. Wifey loved it. My choice of drink at a wine bar was an old fashion. The other bartender (super chill chica) whipped up a great citrus tasting version. Loved it. Loved the design of this place. Super cool use of mirrors to make it feel more grand than the size (which was already very open). Very cool overall feel here. I can't say enough about the people and drink choices. Already planning on a round two soon.

We started with a lovely cheese board for the table, which was delicious and fresh. Paired with that we of course split a bottle of wine at the recommendation of the staff - we absolutely loved the pick! For the main I had the gnocchi, which was absolutely fantastic. I was so full but managed to scrape down the whole thing because of how light the gnocchi was and how delicious the sauce was. All 3 of us agreed this is the kind of place we want to come back over and over so we can try everything! 10/10 from me! Just note, parking wise, there's a tiny tiny lot, but I street parked around the corner. This area is notoriously a little harder for parking so just give yourself some extra time!

The indoor seating is hit or miss as they have one couch that is really low to the ground and uncomfortable to sit on but the other couches are comfy. The cocktails here are delicious.

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!

    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.

    Yum YUMMYY! I really…read moredon't know where to start but I absolutely love Buena Vida! I guess thats a great place :) location, Location, LOCATION! I admire that area of Buena Vida. All the entertainment is right there in front of you. You're just steps away from the belt line. If you like to people watch, this is for you! They have outdoor seating. A fire pit. Local spots that has live music and you can tend to hear from the patio. This is by far one of my favorite spots in the Ponce area. Let's start with the service. The service is absolutely amazing. I've never had an issue here. Got my food promptly. Always been helpful when conflicted on food options. The service here is 10 out of 10. Phemonenal customer Service, make you feel welcome. Feels like a small community of people, everyone I encoutered were super sweet from servers to bartenders. Treated me like family and I love establishments like that you can get my money ANY day! I'd like to highlight someone special: Alyssa is truly exceptional. She served as my bartender on my latest visit, and I can't say enough good things about her. I look forward to coming in whenever she's working. She's genuine, fun, and her positive energy is a gem. Turning to the cuisine, I have visited the establishment before, and the food is truly exceptional. Two standout appetizers are the Gambas al Ajillo and the garlic-forward, succulent shrimp; the accompanying bread is full of flavor and serves as an excellent introduction to the meal. The Patatas Bravas also deserve special mention--the garlic aioli, chef kiss. As a pescatarian, which is evident in many of my reviews, I cannot comment on the meat options. Nevertheless, there is a noteworthy selection of vegan and gluten-free dishes available. I sampled the Spanish grilled cheese with truffle and garlic aioli--being a fan of garlic, the generous use here was particularly appealing. This reinterpretation of a childhood favorite significantly elevated the dish. Another highlight was the scallops. Although the dish included corn (which I generally avoid), I found it delicious, nonetheless. The scallops were cooked to perfection and infused with rich flavors. The chef demonstrates considerable expertise in crafting these recipes, and I have no complaints regarding my dining experience. Now, a few of my favorite drinks--though everyone might not share the same tastes. When I visit a Spanish-style restaurant, I have my go-to options. One of my favorites is the passionfruit margarita; it's so delicious, it feels like you're on an island. Of course, my all-time favorite is the strawberry margarita--so good and flavorful. It has just the right balance of not too much lime, with a subtle hint of mint--who knew we needed that? Another top pick is the 'Dragon on Vacation.' I usually avoid spicy drinks, so I had the habanero removed, but it's still the perfect blend of dragon fruit flavor in a margarita--so good. I also love a good Paloma; I appreciate its little kick. Overall, I have no complaints about these drinks!

It's always a good time when we meet up with my friends cause the conversation and fellowship is always so sweet, however this time I'd say it was somewhat interrupted. The live music/saxophonist is nice however, it's overbearing. There's a soundtrack playing in the background in addition to the saxophonist and honestly it's just too much. There was always someone yelling over another and we had to continuously ask someone to repeat themselves. They do half off bottles of wine on Wednesdays and that might've been the one thing I enjoyed. As for the food, it was also subpar. I ordered the CRISPY PIMENTON CHICKEN which was essentially a fried chicken with hot honey sauce and that was enjoyable. The caprese salad was good but my tomato's were a bit mushy. I also enjoyed a few of the potatoes brava as well but they weren't anything spectacular. My friends said the steak tasted burnt and needed less charring. The atmosphere of the restaurant is cute as there is indoor and outdoor seating but honestly, I'm not that eager to go back.
