Have you ever wondered what purgatory feels like?!…read more 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.

Take the pool elevator to the 6th floor from the lobby and you're in the party. The setup was a mix of sofas, long high top tables and seats at the bar. There could be reserved seating but mostly looked like first come, first served. We eventually got seats from gentlemen who were willing to get up. But it's a dance party so you won't be seated long. The rooftop bar was extremely busy so we got drinks in the lobby. The service on the rooftop and lobby bar was over extended. They needed more staff to support the crowd. Eventually we ordered food as it seemed more staff came in to help. We shared chicken wings and the flat bread pizza. The wings were a good size and come with potatoes. More like breakfast potatoes, not fries. They were rather salty and not very good. The flat bread pizza was tasty. Their menu included other starters, sandwiches, salads and desserts. We had cocktails - old fashioned, vodka and cranberry, and a Moscow mule. Good size and tasty. Overall, the band - The DJ Wright Band and DJ Eclazz were why we came! Definitely check this spot out.

The ambiance and overall mood of the restaurant were beautiful--definitely a nice setting for a girls' night out. Unfortunately, our server really took away from what could have been an even better experience. She was incredibly cold and sterile throughout the entire evening. At no point did she seem happy to be serving us; instead, we were made to feel more like a burden than guests. We were warm and inviting toward her, but we never got so much as a smile in return. It was noticeable enough that it became hard to ignore. That said, the food was GOOD. I ordered the $30 burger, and it was every bit as delicious as I hoped it would be. I couldn't even finish it because my appetite said "girl, that's enough" , but even a day or two later I was still thinking about how good that burger was! I also had two $30 French 95s, which definitely caught me off guard. I would have appreciated knowing there was an upcharge before ordering the second one. That said, I also take some responsibility for not asking more questions before ordering. Despite the service, my girlfriends and I still managed to have a great time, and that says a lot. I'm just not sure I'd return. The food and atmosphere were enjoyable, but when you're spending this kind of money, the service should match the experience.

The spot is huge with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, so you aren't cramped while trying to catch a vibe. The 1000 Masks cocktail was smooth and balanced, avoiding the sugar-trap I expected from the blueberry syrup. We started with the Yuca Parmesan Truffle Fries--solid crunch and the truffle wasn't aggressive--and the Togarashi Tempura Veggies, which were light and crispy. I went with the 5Church Lamb Burger Sliders for the main; the gorgonzola fondue and red onion marmalade combo was a heavy hitter, though the lemon-dressed arugula kept it grounded. The food was a solid, reliable choice--nothing that'll change your life, but definitely tasty enough to keep you satisfied while the music does its thing. If you want a laid-back, intentional atmosphere without the extra noise, this is the move.

Beautiful views, but the service and the food left much to be desired…read more I ordered chicken skewers, 2 mocktails, artichoke dip, and yucca fries. The chicken skewers took forever to come out. You only get two of them, and they are served over a bed of mixed greens. They lacked seasoning and flavor. The artichoke dip was extremely oily and had a very strange texture--it was thick and spreadable. The pita bread tasted old and stale. asked for a fork and the waitress forgot. When she brought my fries, she realized that she never brought the fork, and still didn't bring it. I ordered yucca fries, but she brought regular fries. The mocktails were served in these foggy old cups. Even the customer next to me commented on her own cup and said it looked like someone had drank from it. They add 20% gratuity to ALL bills--I was by myself and it was still added. 5 Church is pretty good, but this place was not at all. I paid 65 dollars for my meal, which was absolutely not worth it, given the quality and service of my experience. Looks good for IG but I won't be coming back to this rooftop.

Sriracha sliders didn't have the spice or anything remotely close to a Sriracha sauce on them. The bread was slightly hard as well.

When we first arrived, the hostess told us the restaurant was reservation-only, but that the bar and lounge were available for walk-ins. We stepped away for just a few minutes to discuss our plans and decided we'd go to the bar and lounge. When we returned, the hostess completely changed her story and said that while it's usually walk-in, it wasn't that day. It was a confusing and frustrating experience. I've never been told I couldn't walk into a bar to order a drink, especially after being told moments earlier that it was an option. If the policy had changed because the bar reached capacity, that would have made sense--but that wasn't what we were told. The inconsistent communication left a bad impression, and unfortunately we took our business elsewhere.
