Mouthwatering Venues & Event Spaces in Atlanta

Mary Mac's Tea Room

★★★★☆ 3.9 (5180) • $$

"I stopped in to Mary Mac's on the recommendation of a friend and it did not disappoint! It is honestly just a simple restaurant with delicious home cooked southern food. As I was by myself, I hopped in a seat at the bar and was provided with a drink immediately. I was then able to quickly order a chicken n dumplings meal with bread, sweet potatoes, and broccoli casserole. Even with a sweet tea added in, my final bill was barely $20.00! Let's just say that I tipped generously on the bill, as I also received top notch service. This meal was exactly what I needed as I had a long drive home ahead of me. And I was incredibly grateful to not have to overspend on my last dinner in Atlanta."

No Mas! Cantina

★★★★☆ 3.7 (1645) • $$

"No Mas is a favorite spot of mine. Some friends and I came here after a wine making class in the area. We were seated immediately and our server began helping us immediately too. I love the decor here. The service is always amazing and I absolutely love parking for free. There are so many photo opportunities in this restaurant and their gift shop is amazing. We all enjoyed our food and appreciated the great service. We're already planning another visit as a group."

SweetWater Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 4.1 (583) • $$

"This new space was huge! There was an outdoor lawn space with corn hole. The inside had a foosball table and shuffleboard. The little giftshop was adorable with the usual t-shirts and even ice cream for sale.There was definitely a lot of space to roam. T.V.'s were stationed throughout so you can catch the latest games. The bar was at the very center and in a massive square form. I liked how the menu was super colorful with the type of beer and alcohol content labeled. There were also seltzer drinks too if you wanted to go lighter."

Wahoo! Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (592) • $$

"Had a nice dinner last night. First time there. We were seated near the open kitchen. Was fun to see the different dishes coming out. Got the tuna tartar and it was very yummy. Three of the pieces of tuna were really tough and I'm not sure why. I've never had tough to eat tuna in a tartar before. I got the steak. Was good but needed salt. The sauce it came with was very good. I asked our server for some sea salt. I should have taken a photo of the tiny amount she brought me in a small dish. I laughed thinking it was a joke! Also my potatoes were definitely from a box. They really had no flavor and I was disappointed in the texture and taste coming from this type of establishment. My guy liked his scallop entree and the burrata and strawberry salad was really tasty!Valet parking outside only $4. Very nice!"

City Winery

★★★☆☆ 3 (745) • $$

"While I lived in the DMV, City Winery (Ivy City) was my go to for vino & live music. Back in Atlanta many year later - the 4th Ward has surprised me.The industrial backdrop venue provides a dim lighted & warm ambience with exposed brick, vintage lighting & wine barrels throughout. The lounge space boasts a stage, various table/seating options, an elevated bar encompassing a very lively & social atmosphere. The friendly service team moved at a good pace & in a synchronous fashion. Even amongst the tight spaces between tables. There's little room once you're seated & you have to turn your body/neck to see the performances. I understand maximizing ticket sales, yet stage the tables for the patrons to be comfortable while enjoying their meal & live performances. Suggestive budget around $120 per person for live music, food (limited for Vegetarians/Vegans) with a nuances of wines, beers/ciders, crafted cocktails & mocktails.Easy navigation on the website to view events & purchase tickets. Ticket prices varies with fees are around $14. Ponce City has abundant fee parking (app & kiosk payments), mostly in the parking decks. Valet parking is available right in front of the venue. Follow the signs (Security provided directions when we visited) to go upstairs for check-in/will call & you'll be guided to the venue."

Mac's Chophouse

★★★★☆ 4 (331)

"We came here for post Valentine's day Valentine's dinner because who likes a crowd? Anyway, they were still cute with Valentine's entrees (a pasta special, chateaubriand for 2, and maybe 1-2 others) My husband had the doctor is in & the Macs old fashioned (makers mark) & he really liked both. The second came in a smoked glass and had a cool presentation. He was definitely tipsy by the end of the meal so I'm pretty sure they were both strong drinks not too bad... Around $13-15 ish each I had a mint lemonade spritzer ($4) and it was great! Would def order that again but their cocktails also looked delicious. They also have mocktails (mactails) but they didn't pique my interest This trip we got the chateaubriand, lobster Mac and banana cream pie We accepted the bread and I'm not sure if it was complimentary but if was delicious with honey and butter & a super soft yeast roll each!We ordered the chateaubriand medium but its a thick cut so definitely came out more medium rare/rare and they did cook it more for us because I'm pregnant so I only ended up eating the most cooked pieces they gave and my husband ate the more med rare side. It was delicious though and the bone marrow compound butter ($9) so worth it! The sauce it came with too was also amazing. I was dipping everything in it like the fried lobster, the potatoes, parsnips, everything The lobster Mac was SO good with a great cheese pull and tons of fried & baked lobster. Would 100% order this again The complimentary aligot potatoes were ok. Nothing exciting but they're complimentary so ‍ no cheese pull lol We were torn on dessert because they all sounded good so I looked up pics on yelp & the banana cream pie sold us. First of all, It was huge. Could split between 3-4 people post meal. It's like a whole small pie and it was so creamy, so flavorful yet not too sweet. Bruleed bananas on top, a banana mousse that could've been ice cream, flaky crust, meringue... A must try. Honestly I'm excited just thinking about eating the leftovers of this one. We didn't finish any of our food because it was a ton for 2 people Whole bill came out to $230 pre tip They do have a wheelchair lift but she said you had to walk a stair or two after it so not really handicap accessible. They're attached to the raw bar portion though so might be able to sit there if handicapped because the chophouse downstairs only has booths. Parking is not a breeze in the square if you don't want to pay but there are a ton of garages/lots in the area & street parking is always full."

McCray's Tavern Midtown

★★★★☆ 3.8 (345) • $$

"While visiting a friend in ATL, we stopped in twice. (Once for brunch, another for drinks)The food was ok. Service was super friendly. They have specials and events during the week. I hear their trivia is super fun. Plenty of seating."

Drawbar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (161) • $$

"Great Coworking space! Connected to a hotel and live work platform area Drawbar has Plenty of comfy seating areas indoor and outdoor options. They also have a good menu with options for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. I went for an afternoon of telework and decided to try the salmon po boy with fries. The sandwich was absolutely delicious, salmon seasoned wellAnd the sauce on the bread was a great addition. My fries were a bit soggy but when i let my server know she was very nice and quickly corrected the issue by getting me some fresh hot fries. I would have loved to sit outside and take in the beautiful views of the city however it was a bit breezy on the day of my visit so i opted for indoor seating at one of the table ls that had plenty of space and outlets."

Crazy Atlanta

★★★★☆ 3.5 (107) • $

"Parking - It's Atlanta. Get in where you fit in.The Scene - Checkout the pics, it's nothing fancy. The walls are graffiti'd, the tables are wobbly but the bathroom is clean!The Eats - I've eaten tacos, nachos, quesadillas, and wings. All good food. My only complaint is the damned canned sodas. When with a group and chatting, that can is gone in 5 minutes. The Service - I've been on packed nights and the service has always been swift. I ordered food on the walk from the HIlton, and it was ready when I arrived. They made good drinks and ate pretty friendly.Parting Thoughts - I'm getting hungry just thinking about this spot. Grab some friends and enjoy a good time."

St. Julep

★★★★☆ 3.8 (76)

"Nice rooftop thats very walkable to many spots in buckhead. The staff is really nice and the dj was great. The only con (not the business's fault) is that the rooftop view is obstructed by the many high rises being built in buckhead."
