City Grill

Elegant Downtown Dining

50 Hurt Plaza
(Suite 200)
Atlanta, GA 30303
United States
+1 404 524 2489
http://www.citygrillatlanta.com

An extravagant staircase leading up from the street entrance welcomes you to this restaurant in the fully restored Hurt Building, built in 1913. A club-like atmosphere pervades throughout, from the marble entrance to the lively piano bar. The menu changes daily, offering an excellent selection of seafood and beef dishes prepared with Southern-style gourmet touches. Try the Southern fried quail or any number of crab cake variations. An extensive list of American and European wines is available.

Dark Horse Tavern

Good Brews and Great Views 816 North Highland Ave
Atlanta, GA 30306
United States
+1 404 873 3607
http://www.darkhorseatlanta.com The dark wooden walls and dim lights give this place the look and feel of an old traveler's stopover, but the mood is lively and fun. Have a drink at the full island bar inside the front door or settle in the back to feast on anything from nachos to steaks. Better yet, take your party outside. The porch seating climbs up three floors and offers great nighttime views of the skyline. The basement houses a separate, much rowdier bar with live, local bands nightly.

Ray's on the River

Romantic Tranquility 6700 Powers Ferry Road
Atlanta, GA 30339
United States
+1 770 955 1187
http://www.raysontheriver.com Call for reservations early at this romantic spot on the banks of the Chattahoochee, as weekends can book as far as a month in advance. The low, sprawling building hugs the shoreline of Georgia's longest river, providing exquisite views from much of the dining room. Famous for fresh seafood and hickory-grilled steaks and chops, Ray's is also a local cocktail hour and Sunday brunch institution. A romantic patio provides al fresco dining in fair weather, live jazz, and a complementary hors d'oeuvres buffet weekdays. See website for menu, other locations, and live music schedule.

Treehouse Restaurant & Pub

Cozy Outdoor Bar 7 Kings Circle
Atlanta, GA 30305
United States
+1 404 266 2732
http://www.treehouseatlanta.com Located in the residential Peachtree Hills neighborhood, the Treehouse has long been a local favorite for good, inexpensive food and a relaxed bar atmosphere. After a cruise through the neighborhood admiring the old houses, draw up a chair on the patio, but get there early to grab a choice seat. The kitchen offers a variety of appetizers and entrees, ranging from Caribbean jerk chicken to Southwestern and Mexican standards. Treehouse also carries over 75 varieties of micro-brewed beer, and a nice selection of imports to satisfy the most discerning palate. See website for menu, online gift shop, and special events announcements (such as "Lobster Night").

eleven50

Sleek Modern Club 1150B Peachtree Road
Atlanta, GA 30309
United States
+1 404 874 0428
http://www.eleven50.com/ Residing in a former theater, eleven50 is almost too cool for itself. Between the elegant, old wood flooring and the high ceilings are velvety sofas, shimmering curtains, intimate lighting and, always, beautiful people. A number of bars scattered around the club provide plenty of alcoholic fuel for late-night sound reveries as famous DJs spin. Out back there's an outdoor lounge called Eden with plush beds and the sound of a fountain to mute your private conversations. This is one of the best trendy locations in Atlanta.
