#ATLANTA GAY BARS DOWNTOWN MOVIE#
It’s more of a high-end, exclusive restaurant than a bar (fancy steaks and seafood, particularly), and the decor is throwback Hollywood, with movie memorabilia and framed images of classic film moments. It’s from the same team, the crew behind Muss & Turner’s, but unlike Eleanor’s you can’t just walk your regular ass in and feel special. and all those other big movie stars filming around ATL these days are secretly dining, drinking, and partying the night away inside this extra-secret hidden spot in the same building as Local Three. You’re encouraged to not run around yapping about it either, so be mindful of that if you intend to have your next reservation accepted.
#ATLANTA GAY BARS DOWNTOWN HOW TO#
How to get in: You’ve gotta make an email reservation request, and you have to include the word “LOVE” in the subject line. Plus the experience of being in a cloaked, two-story environment where everybody knows they’ve been screened in advance makes for a very bossy evening, and sets up a night of stories that you shouldn’t be sharing anyway. Based on the Japanese idea of exceptionally detailed service (“Omotenashi”), this dimly lit, mid-century modern-meets-brutalist bar is reservation-only, serves small plates and desserts, and isn’t shy about pricing drinks, so expect to pay around $20 per cocktail (and yes, they’re worth the markup). The name means “secret,” and you might walk right by it if you’re trotting around Two Buckhead Plaza looking for speakeasies, but that doesn’t mean it’s hard to find or that folks don’t know it’s there. Once you’ve received it, head out to PCM there’s an unmarked door on the left side of the art supply shop Binders, where you’ll find a door guy waiting for you to tell him that name you heard, or, you know, to just stare at you like you’re in the wrong place.

How to get in: You’ll need to follow them on social media (citywineryatl on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) where, every week, they’ll release a name. At the bar there’ll be cocktails such as the Masataka Swizzle (Nikka Taketsuru 12-year Japanese whisky, amaretto, lime juice, demerara syrup, and mint), and the El Conquistador, which blends Mezcal Amaras Espadin, sherry, spiced pear liqueur, and lemon. The “luxe industrial” design borrows from PCM’s guts and bones, with good decorative use being put to vintage electrical boards and switches leftover from when it was an old Sears & Roebuck. The expansive restaurant/winery/concert hall opened this past summer, and just announced what’s probably Atlanta’s newest, speakeasy-style cocktail bar for folks looking to hide out for an intimate evening, all week from 6 p.m.
