The Best Bars in Athens | Eater Atlanta

"Inspired by Italian aperitivo hour, this Five Points bar offers a casual bistro-like ambiance complete with rattan chairs and a wine wall outfitted with twinkle lights. Outside, you’ll find a handful of white-clothed tables shaded by Campari-hued umbrellas that are perfect for sipping silky espresso martinis or a selection from the dedicated spritz list. Can’t decide what to try? Order a spritz flight, or tell the knowledgeable bartenders what you like, and they’ll whip up something special. A massive espresso machine churns out coffee drinks and rich affogato for those who’d rather not imbibe. A menu of Italian bites, ranging from salted Marcona almonds to a porcetta sandwich, ensures you can linger a little longer over your next round of cocktails." - Sarah Bisacca
