Forget the East Coast waterfront—this is the chic oasis you didn’t know Atlanta needed.

High above the bustle of the FORTH development, Moonlight Bar takes rooftop dining to new heights—literally. Perched on the 16th floor, this swanky spot marries the sleek sophistication of Italian Mid-Century Modern with stunning views of the Atlanta skyline and Beltline. Opened on August 8, 2024, Moonlight is the crown jewel of Forth, paying tribute to 1970's disco. Designed by Method Co. in collaboration with Stokes Architecture + Design, the space is a dream, complete with a mirrored tile back bar and a vibe that says, “sip and savor.” Moonlight’s menu is the embodiment of sophisticated whimsy. The light bites are curated to accompany an evening of cocktails and conversation, with a distinct seafood-forward theme that makes you want to trade your Atlanta views for an East Coast breeze.
PLAYFUL COCKTAILS
Cinnamon Girl
Mezcal steals the show here, paired with cherry sangue morocco, lime, and cinnamon. It’s smoky, sweet, and perfect for the adventurous drinker.
High-Fidelity Tequila
A tropical escape in a glass, this drink combines blanco tequila, St. George Green Chile Vodka, Kalani Coconut, pineapple, and lime. One sip transports you to a breezy patio with good company.
BAR SNACKS WITH A TWIST
Caviar Bump
Not ready to commit to a full caviar service? The caviar bump is a fun, approachable way to indulge in decadence without breaking the bank.
Full Caviar Service
Kaviari Kristal caviar is served with all the trimmings—potato chips, whipped crème fraîche, and chives—for a classic, sophisticated treat.
SEAFOOD SENSATIONS
Lobster Roll
Moonlight’s version is light, delicate, and elevated, with playful additions like celery and a dollop of caviar. It’s the bite-sized luxury you didn’t know you needed.
Gulf Shrimp Ceviche
One bite, and you’re seaside with waves crashing in the background. Bright, citrusy, and impossibly fresh, it’s a vacation on a plate. @moonlightatlanta
