What People Are Saying About JCT Bar
Featured Review
Jonathan Baker

In Short – Perched on the top level of the Westside Urban Market, this rooftop bar is built for the casual gourmand. Thoughtful cocktails are invented seasonally by mixologist-guru Lara Creasy while bar bites are executed on the same level as JCT Kitchen, located below. The weeknight special is a double-cheeseburger. Loaded with pimento cheese, fried green tomatoes and paired with a craft beer, it’s like a heavier, beer-accompanying Southern cousin of the H&F limited. Combine this with good-weather, chugging trains and skyline views, don’t be surprised if you fall hard for JCT Bar, it’s…
Editor's Tips
- When to Go:
- Weeknights feature the burger special, and on Thursdays (during good weather months) JCT Bar has live music.
- Parking:
- There is a valet for JCT Kitchen. If you want to save coin and self-park, there are usually some spaces a little further away in the Westside Urban Market lot.
- What to Drink:
- Lara Creasy is on of the finest mixologists in Atlanta, so any cocktail will no doubt be delicious. For the adventurous… tell the bartender what you like and get surprised. For the timid, the JCTea is an instant classic

I like it when it's cooked right

Server and kitchen on the same page is always an A in my book, a little noisy though

JCT Burgers
by Jack Chambles
The server was specific as to how I wanted the Beef Burger, medium or medium-well. I just said I wanted a little pink left - I want it juicy. It came out well-done. I don't think the chef stood on it, but there was NO pink.
The resulting $12.00 burger was fair. I won't have another burger there.

great food
by jessedillon
The burgers here are very tasty. The cheeseburger is out of this world. The servings are also big - I had the house salad with a friend and we both ate a lot. We had a couple of beers and the tab wasn't too expensive.

Great atmosphere, cool drinks, great burger.
by HunterPearson
JCT Kitchen is fabulous... don't get me wrong, but their upstairs bar, set right on the train tracks is awesome. Think an atmosphere closer to the bar at Shaun's than the white tableclothed restaurant downstairs. Laura Creasy is a fabulous mixologist, but the reason why I make a monthly trek over to Midtown West is for their burger. Paired with a beer, (and only costing $12), the burger is a double cheeseburger that uses gooey pimento cheese rather than some sort of square situation. It gets topped in true Southern form with a pair of fried green tomatoes, and bursts with potent mustard seeds. With all the burger madness in this town, this slipped under the radar... but definitely deserves to be noticed.

rude manager
by aksjdjfh
if you want good southern food, go to Agnes & Muriels or Mary Macs. We heard OK things about this place but food was OK at best. overheard was a woman manager being very rude to her server. If I was in his place i'd hank her frizzy hair out, he did a great job
