Don't know where to start when visiting Atlanta? From the heart of Midtown to all that West Midtown has to offer, here's our comprehensive neighborhood guide to all the best sites.
If you’re wanting to grab drinks in West Midtown, make sure you don’t skip out on Drawbar at The Bellyard for quality cocktails, bites, and did we mention, a brand new terrace to take in all the best views. In the heart of Atlanta, the elevated lounge marches to the beat of West Midtown’s drum, ensuring you’ll have a true Atl experience any night of the week.
Ahhh..Brash Coffee. The thing that gets us up in the morning. Dedicated to delivering quality brews for even the most critical coffee drinker, Brash’s offerings are the best in the neighborhood. Forget Starbucks, let’s treat ourselves and romanticize the short time before work with a silky smooth café au lait.
Everyday is a holiday at this West Midtown haunt. You can enjoy their offerings morning and night with your daily coffee and work day happy hour. The dynamic bar brings midtown to you with garage doors that are open seasonally as patrons enjoy meticulously curated playlists to set the perfect night time, or morning, vibe.
While tacos seem simple, it actually takes a lot of work to be the best of the best. Velvet Taco is the perfect solution for a spontaneous dinner with friends or a casual first date. They distinguish themselves from the Tex-Mex cuisine while maintaining the approach of fine dining and fresh ingredients to immerse you in a unique dining experience.
You know where to eat, drink, and be merry—now we’re here to tell you how to prep to look the part for a night out. No matter what you do, don’t sleep on Faced Facial Studio. Their flexible schedules and transparent pricing cannot be beat, and after a seemingly long winter, get your skin ready for spring with the best estheticians Midtown has to offer.
Get your shopping fix in at Westside Provisions District for any occasion. Find the perfect biker shorts at LuluLemon, join the ballet flat trend at Ann Mashburn, refresh your home decor with Burrow, and fill your house with quality florals at Le Jardin Français. And although Lenox is a popular stop, you’re missing out on all the local and hidden gems at this vibrant shopping location.
From the exterior to the interior, the High Museum of Art is an absolute must when in Atlanta in general, so much so that it should be on every neighborhood guide. When things get a little crazy in your daily life, take a day for yourself and view everything that the High has to offer. From antiquity to contemporary, you can find an escape through any one of their exhibits.
Itching for even more views of the city? Rooftop LOA is more than a roof to sip a cocktail on...it’s an experience. From the 38,000 square foot, european garden inspired lounge, exquisite drinks, and heated pool there’s a reason L.O.A. is one of the hottest in town. Make sure you try their all of their offerings from their happy hour fare to cabana focused packages.
If you're looking for a reliable and quality driven dining location, Marcel is the place for you. They take you back in time to the classics, reminding patrons that you can never go wrong with the pastime of the pure experience of dinner. Not to mention, the food is to die for, but their main goal is to remind those that walk through its doors the beauty of a dinner for two with a piano's notes wafting through the environ.
And last but not least…we’ve got to have some music. The intimate and interactive music venue, Terminal West, is the perfect end to a perfect Midtown day. Within the King’s Plow Art Center, catch a myriad of artists in the aesthetically preserved factory who are looking to enhance your evening through modern production technology.
