Nice tucked away speakeasy. It has great views of the city went on a Tuesday wasn't crowded they don't have food but you can walk to 9 miles station and get some. Service was excellent both Eric and Amir did a phenomenal job and they were very personable. Will be back!

Awesome drinks. Beautiful bar. Great bartender and a really friendly girl when you go inside. Otherwise the staff is god awful. The people who check you in downstairs at The Roof have zero customer service skills and are downright rude to paying customers even after you spend $100+. Fire everyone at the front because two days in a row they were complete jerks who do not deserve to work. We are evacuating from a storm and they are completely rude.

12 Cocktail Bar really reclaims the Speakeasy essence! I'm tired of these "speakeasies" that are easy to get into, everyone knows about them and they're overrated. 12 is not that! We hadn't even heard of 12 until our friend who's a bartender told us about it. We immediately went on their website and made a reservation via tock. When making a reservation you put down a $20 PP deposit for your night. No big deal since a cocktail is $15 and they had plenty of snacky foods that ensured you could stay around the $20 price point PP if you wanted to.On Monday night we showed up at the check-in desk and gave our names. We were a few minutes past our reservation but it was no problem. The host radioed up to his counterpart and whisked us into an elevator to the 11th floor. From there we were given menus and walked up 1 more flight of stairs to the bar itself and seated. The menus that were given to us (and photographed in my review) are different from what's online. Additionally, they had an excess of gin leftover from an event they had done and were offering gin cocktails. My husband remarked that those gin cocktails should maybe be at the $12 mark as opposed to the $15+ mark so they would use the gin up faster and more people would drink them. I tend to agree but that's neither here nor there. I enjoyed the following drinks: Mai Tai Spritz 7.5/10. It was a more floral mimosa essentially. Really good quality but nothing jaw-dropping. Oaxacan Smash 8/10. It tasted very similar to the Split Personality due to the fact that both cocktails used the same mezcal and had a lime juice component. Coco-Loco - no rating. At this point, I can't honestly tell you how good this drink was because the other two had me feeling a little tipsy. I finished it though so I'm sure it was great! The decor was spot on, the music was an uplifting mix and the clientele was dressed right and looked the part. Overall, I would come back to 12 with some friends and see if they knew about this sneaky speakeasy that lived in PCM.

WOW! That's exactly how I felt when walking into 12 Cocktail Bar. I had always heard about this place, but was never able to go. My sister surprised me with a cocktail class that they offer, and it did not disappoint.12 Cocktail Bar essentially sits on the roof of Ponce City Market. More specifically in that square above all those games and that mini-golf. It was a little confusing figuring out how to get there, but we eventually figured it out. There is an elevator near Biltong Bar, that you take the bottom level, and then you are escorted up by someone affiliated with the establishment.Our class began at 5:30, but we got there around 5 just so we could check out the place and get a good seat. The place is very nice on the inside. It has a very classy meets eccentric meets industrial type of vibe. I have added in some pictures of the interior for you to take a look.We then took our seats and began our class. We had the entire place to ourselves We were given 4 drink cards (which we could take home.) We had 3 bartenders that were there who were giving descriptions on the drinks, history of alcohol, and so much more. They were very knowledgeable about what they were talking about, and they were happy to answer any of the questions we had. They would teach you how to make a drink, and then volunteers could come up (and actually get behind the bar) and make the drink. It was such an incredible experience, and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone.The place is open for walk-ins, but reservations are highly encouraged.

12 Cocktail is a sexy speakeasy bar located in Ponce. You have to be escorted up and it closes at 11 pm. I went for a date night and the vibes were exclusive and very romantic. We ordered the Oaxacan Smash and the Old School French 75. They were delicious and the bartenders were amazing!

Such a cool speakeasy! Make a reservation before you go. You take the elevator next to the sushi spot to the basement and they will help you get to the 12th floor! I do not drink alcohol, so a mock tail menu would have been nice. I had soda water and hors d'oeuvres - and I enjoyed myself. The bathroom was very clean and pretty. Staff was excellent, we were able to stroll the roof after for free!

12 is easily the best cocktail spot I've been to in ATL. The vibes are immaculate, the service is top notch, and the drinks were fantastic! Both the drinks I got were "bartender's choice" -- you tell them what you like or don't like, your preferred base alcohol, and they will mix you something up proper! I was very impressed with my bartender (Ola? I think was her name). She knows how to develop flavor profiles and can mix with the best of em!

Drink up, drink up, drink up! We had the chance to visit 12 at Ponce City Market and let me tell ya it was a maze to get in this place. Downstairs, up elevators, up stairs- it was crazy. I really enjoyed this experience because barely anyone was there. The staff was friendly, funny and provided a great experience. While 12 exist outside of Christmas time, we went for the Mixmas cocktails. You d have to reserve a time and pay a deposit but that deposit goes towards your drinks/food so we paid pretty much nothing when we got there! I had This Christmas I Gave You a Daiquiri and Coconuts Roasting on an Open Fire. Jordan had The Krampus' Cane and Shitter's Full.Round 1: This Christmas I Gave You a Daiquiri and The Krampus' CaneI really enjoyed the daiquiri. It was light and refreshing. The perfect blend of fruity and strong. Would definitely get this drink again.Jordan said that his drink tasted exactly like a candy cane and I guess he doesn't like candy canes because he was not the biggest fan. It took him FOREVER to drink this and I was waiting for him to move on to the second round while my drink was gone!Round 2: Coconuts Roasting on an Open Fire and Shitter's Full I was not a fan of my drink this round. Because I like coconuts I thought I would like this but that was not the case. I think it was the chocolate and cream that made me not a fan of this one. I was gagging pretty much after every sip as I tried to finish this one. Jordan really liked Shitter's Full so we were one for one for our drinks this night. He said it was more on the fruity side but that the ingredients blended very well together. Overall, this was a really fun experience and I would like to go back (maybe even before they leave for this holiday season). Another cool thing about this place was that they offered to make you drinks based on liquors and taste that you like. While we didn't take them up on this, if we return I definitely would. Great staff. Great time. Thanks 12!
