Things to do in Georgia, Georgia: The Best Bars & Clubs

March 1, 2022 Randal Brittian

While Atlanta is the anchor and capital of Georgia, you can aim in any direction to find distinctly different regions – from the tail of the Appalachians in the North to the rolling Piedmont hills and on down to the seaside marshes in the East. Atlanta lays claim to the state’s number one attraction – Stone Mountain State Park. They say it best - “Serious fun. Endless adventure.” Just 15 minutes from downtown, the world’s largest exposed granite dome is surrounded by 3,200 acres of natural beauty and stimulating activities for every member of the family – sky rides and hiking paths, laser shows and pedal boats along Stone Mountain Lake. Golfers tee it up, while red foxes dash across the fairways in a state where the Masters Golf Tournament creates revered green-jacket memories every year. It’s a long downhill ride down to historic Savannah, a ‘stone’s throw’ from the Atlantic and a virtual step back in time to Southern architecture and stately squares. St. Simon’s and Jekyll Islands offer barrier island beauty and a wonderful combination of outdoor activities, historic sites and artistic culture. Originally the private winter playground of wealthy northeasterners, Jekyll Island stretches along 10 miles of coastal beaches and inland marshes. Cycling and walking paths wind under moss-laden oaks, and a tour of Millionaire Village takes you back to those Cornelius Vanderbilt and J.P. Morgan days. The kid-friendly Summer Waves Water Park adds man-made fun to natural water sport activities. Coastal golf courses and sophisticated St. Simon’s Island appeal to moms, dads and vacationing couples.

My husband and I finally made our way here and we are so glad we did! The service was phenomenal, the drinks were out of this world and the atmosphere was wonderful!! We loved the speakeasy vibe they have going and they have the largest cocktail list I have ever seen; it was fabulous! This will definitely be in our regular rounds of places we like to visit! Plus, as a local, it was great that tourists haven't figured this place out yet, well for now that is ;)

Congress Street Up

Serving classic craft cocktails surrounded by the ambiance of 1920’s decor. Sorry, no Bud Lights here! All of our cocktails, wines, and beers can trace their origins back to Prohibition. Don’t worry though. Everything we serve is the cat’s meow!

Reviewed By SlowPoke59 - Apex, United States

We had an excellent night at this speak easy. We had our first drinks off the drink menu and then experiment by having the barkeep make us something they thought would please us. The interior was decorated in prohibition pictures and fittings. It was a great experience and was priced right.

The Wayward

The Wayward bar isn’t your typical local watering hole. Wayward is an experience—everything about it is an unexpected turn of expression. Wayward is refined but a bit off beat. It embarks casual elegance mixed with a touch of rebellion. Wayward is nothing, if not irregular. Nestled inside Perry Lane Hotel in Savannah’s Historic District.

Reviewed By TriMeat - Melbourne, United States

I was a bartender in clubs for 10.5 years and it is exceptionally rare that I am impressed by a bartender, but I was quite impressed by the one that made our drinks at the bar. Not any kind of stupid bartending show, faking that they are making a high quality drink. The bartender came across as really knowing what he was doing so I just told him the things I like and had him make me whatever he thought I would like. Every drink was shear perfection. We were very impressed and will be back soon. In fact, our experience was so good that we plan on spending a weekend at the Perry Lane Hotel, even though we live in a suburb of Savannah.

Blind Willie's

Reviewed By ernestb512 - St. Petersburg, United States

I have visited Atlanta many times now since 2011, and Blind Willie;s is the place I go to feel the healing power of the blues. The staff does and great job, and now that the venue is non-smoking, I can recommend this spot for all. If you have never experienced the blues, welcome to the party at this stellar location in Virginia Highlands. Drinks are reasonable, the Shadows are one of the best blues bands around, and there is food, tho I prefer to eat a bit earlier in the evening. Stay for all the sets, you will be glad you did. I enjoy the bourbon flight option myself
