Where adults go to drink in East Atlanta: This bar rises admirably above the hipster fray surrounding its Flat Shoals address and cultivates a laid-back, neighborhood-pub feeling. Above-average bar food is available (burgers, wings, and vegetarian options).

Halo is a case study in lounge management. Tucked inside the basement of the former Biltmore Hotel, this bar-club sidesteps the anxiety-provoking music and bone-crushing crowds one normally associates with venues of this size. Its spacious, split-level layout means that patrons can dance and mingle into the early-morning hours without stepping on each other's toes. A planned 2007 renovation will spruce up existing spaces and add another bar.
Closed Sundays.

This Colony Square rooftop lounge continues to dazzle Atlantans with its South Beach–style cabanas and panoramic city views. So spectacular are the vistas and chef Shayne Vaughan's eclectic menu that the restaurant-bar's 18,000 square feet and ear-splitting noise levels are more annoyances than deal breakers.
Closed Sundays.
