The Cloakroom Kitchen & Bar

We stumbled upon this place when looking for a nice but quick meal. It is located inside the American Hotel and I loved the JFK decor!We ordered the cheeseburgers and the burboun chicken. The service was great as well as the food! We ordered a cheesecake slice to go and it was amazing!Would definitely eat here again if in the area.

Honestly surprised with the amount of reviews of this place. I understand it's a hotel bar/kitchen but the staff is awesome and so attentive! We didn't have any food but the cocktails were great! The bartender is super knowledgeable and can make you any cocktail based on your taste. Will come again.

The cloakroom is your normal hotel bar and restaurant. So needless to say, it's overpriced and it's not that great. $5 for a side of fries is a little over the top for me. But then again, it's a hotel.The staff is pretty cool though. The night manager was really cool. I liked her a lot.

This here local decided to check out this "not a locals spot" and that's probably a pretty legit assessment. The lunch crowd was sparse and I'm assuming most of the restaurant traffic comes from folks staying at the hotel (and indeed you can charge your bill to your room if desired). We wanted to come try it anyway because of the sweet Barracuda parked out front. We were kind of hoping it would mean more of the car theme inside, but it didn't. (Psst! do more of the car theme inside!)But all of that is neither here nor there since we're here for the food, right? And the food was quite lovely. There are some very interesting things on the menu (bacon-wrapped dates, yes please! a protein bowl? looks promising!) ... but I stayed pretty basic today. Had a cup of the tomato basil soup (delicious) and a house salad with grilled chicken. It's kind of hard to mess up a house salad with grilled chicken, and so they didn't. But I was also pleasantly surprised with just *how fresh* each of the vegetables tasted, as if they were just picked that morning or something. Very flavorful. And the lemon vinaigrette dressing was very good too.My friend got the duck confit sliders and let me try a bite: OH SO GOOD. Since this is right around the corner from the office, I will go back and get those myself soon and try some of their other offerings.So, yes, absolutely. I'd say come give this place a try. If you're staying here, go ahead and eat here and I'm sure you'll enjoy it (can't be said for all hotel restaurants, that's for sure!). The streetcar stops right outside too, for easy access if you're riding it [I know no one rides it but gosh darn I wish they would - love that streetcar!]. And there's a full bar here too with enough specialty cocktail recipes that everyone should find something they love.

Overall not too bad for a hotel bar. Decent place for a meal for the solo traveler but not a hot spot for locals or tourists. My salmon over Caesar was very good - hit the spot. It was basically just bar service in the evening as no one was sitting in the dining area. The menu is simple with apps and short array of chicken, salmon and beef dishes. Again, this is definitely not a destination restaurant but suits the bill for a quick bite.

Inside the American Double Tree Hotel. The first racially integrated hotel in America, this restaurant is seriously five stars! Had the shrimp and grits and wow what a bomb to my palette! This is my second time staying at the hotel, first time dining in and so happy I did. Everything made fresh in-house and absolutely delish! Ate dinner at the bar and what an awesome conversation with the bartender who gave me a load down of the hotels history and in fact that JFK, Martin Luther King Jr. And Hank Aaron all stayed here. History and experience all in the hotel and restaurant. Local or from out of town this is a must visit place in downtown Atlanta!

Came into the Cloakroom a few nights ago for dinner, and couldn't have been more disappointed. I ordered the wings, bacon wrapped dates, and the Turkey Avocado Club sandwich. As an avid fan of all three of these items, every one let me down. Out of the three, the wings were the best. The sauce was good and the blue cheese was as well, but the wings were somehow over cooked but not crispy (couldn't tell you how that happens). The bacon wrapped dates were very bland, and in all honestly did not have a distinguishable taste. Finally we get to the worst part of the meal, the sandwich. I couldn't eat anything but the turkey out of it because it was just too much. There were 3 layers of bread, poorly cooked bacon, lettuce tomato and a minuscule amount of avocado. I will not be returning.

Service extremely slow and uncaring. Never checking back. Obviously others being served first. Food ok but not large quantity.

The atmosphere was really good even though it is in the lobby of a hotel. Marco was or server/bartender. My daughter and I walked to it from our hotel. The ham and cheese croquets with the raspberry gastrique was so delicious. The pimento cheese deviled eggs were good, but as I suggested to the kitchen, they would have been better if the salsa was a dollop of fresh salsa on top instead of mixed in with the filling. The bacon jam on top of the eggs was amazing and fresh. As for drinks, the Buckhead Betty was beautiful and tasty. The Paloma was outstanding as well. Very reasonably priced in addition to the yumminess. I would definitely recommend this place.

This is a sweet little spot with nice ambiance. I stayed at the hotel for a conference and the staff and bartenders were all friendly ( each with their own twist on a Old Fashioned, but all good ). The food was excellent, as well - I had the ragout.
