Vinings Jubilee has been around for as long as I can remember, since I first moved to Atlanta in…read more2000. I searched through my Yelp reviews and have eaten at more restaurants here than I thought. I still remember my first dining experience here was at La Paz, now closed. I also had a rare birthday outing here at SOHO in 2017.
You'll see another Yelper who reviewed this place, former Yelp Atlanta Community Manager Benjamin G on 4/27/2015, had "been up to this shopping plaza for a few different things over the past year." I know what two of them were: One was to meet up with me for lunch at Cafe at Pharr. Two was to host a Yelp Elite Event, "Spring Family Dinner" at Paces & Vine on 4/28/2015: https://www.yelp.com/events/elite/ESj2xs6IMW4TTiyZI5yPKQ.
Below is a list of restaurants I've been to at Vinings Jubilee, along with a couple quick thoughts on each. You can follow the links to see each restaurant's Yelp page where I've also left a review.
* Another Broken Egg Cafe
https://www.yelp.com/biz/another-broken-egg-cafe-vinings-2
An OK breakfast, brunch, and lunch chain. Not bad.
* Cafe at Pharr
https://www.yelp.com/biz/cafe-at-pharr-atlanta-4
Local chain of cafe-restaurants serving healthy, light fare. Good.
* La Paz Restaurante (now permanently closed)
https://www.yelp.com/biz/la-paz-restaurante-atlanta-2
Later rebranded as Guaco Joe's, this was an average Americanized Mexican restaurant.
* Noche (now permanently closed)
https://www.yelp.com/biz/noche-vinings-atlanta
Local, popular tapas chain, Noche was part of Tom Catherall's Here to Serve restaurant group which closed all restaurants in October 2015.
* Paces & Vine
https://www.yelp.com/biz/paces-and-vine-atlanta
One of the best restaurants in Vinings, in my opinion. Great for a romantic date or group dining.
* SOHO
https://www.yelp.com/biz/soho-restaurant-atlanta
Old-school, nice American restaurant. Not bad.
* Stockyard Burgers & Bones
https://www.yelp.com/biz/stockyard-burgers-and-bones-atlanta
New-school burger joint that expanded from Stockyard's original location next to Marietta Square. OK.
As for the Vinings Jubilee shopping center itself, it's nice. It's outdoors and it's designed to look like a collection of classy, old, white and brick Southern homes. I think that's the best way I can describe it. The ambiance is charming and quaint. It's got a bit of an upscale feel to it with restaurants like the aforementioned Paces & Vine and SOHO, along with an assortment of boutique shops and offices. That said, it's home to big chains too such as Banana Republic, Cold Stone Creamery, and CVS Pharmacy.
Vinings Jubilee is located in the heart of Vinings, just inside the Perimeter (ITP), close to both I-285 exit 18 (Paces Ferry Road - Vinings) and 41 (Cobb Parkway) just south of Cumberland Boulevard.
While this is a nice shopping center, it isn't a mall or destination like Atlantic Station or Avalon where you'd generally go to shop/browse and hang out/walk around. It's more of a place you'd go to if you're looking for or headed to a specific restaurant, retailer, or office, if that makes any sense.
Note: Yelp is weird. At one point, this listing for Vinings Jubilee changed to "Boardroom Salon for Men - Vinings Jubilee." I submitted a correction and thankfully, the moderators approved it.
