Buy a bottle, stay at home.

Beautiful lobby bar. The atmosphere tends to be a little too loud for a comfortable conversation due to the band playing at near club volume. The drinks are VASTLY overpriced and not well made. The service at the bar tables was lethargic at best and the bartenders were geriatric turtles too concerned with money rather than a classically made cocktail.

Fortunately for all of us, there are not too many places to go to in Atlanta that offer you a $14 contemptible martini, complete with repugnant service. I will go elsewhere.

What's Up? Not Here!

After putting the final touches on our holiday gifts today at Phipp's Plaza, we decided to have a well-deserved drink at the Intercontinenal Hotel. Beautiful lobby, and very stunning bar. But honestly, the people hanging around the bar seemed very shady, and made us feel very uncomfortable. This is the kind of place that attracks people who are obviously, out to impress all those around them, with ultra-gaudy player jewelry, poor communication skills, and no respect to where they are, or the other patrons. Bartenders seem to take everything in stride, hoping for that ultra big tip, from those that have more money in their pockets, than CENTS! We will not lower ourselves to come back here. Too many nices places in Buckhead, with REAL nice people.

• Pros: Beautiful Atmosphere!
• Cons: Questionable Patrons! Money Does Not Buy Class!

elegant scene

by fhemes

One of the most elegant bar scene in Atlanta. Jazz trio almost every day. it is such a confortable lounge. the terrace is one of the best spot on Peachtree to enjoy a glass of Rose wine in a sunny afternoon. The best to see is their incredible collection of cognacs. I heard it is the largest in the US.

I went last thursday for the $5 martini night, we had the best time! I was also glad that the hotel restaurant, Au Pied de Cochon is open 24hours. We were able to enjoy a delicious onion soup at 3am!
