"Hip energy meets historical preservation at Establishment, a place bursting with Georgia pride. Everything here is made with reclaimed oak, pine, and cherrywood salvaged and gathered across the state’s 15 counties, and the knicknacks on display are antique iron and artifacts that date back as far as 1845. The space features masculine, pioneer-esque furniture, old chandeliers, and patio-style floors laid out in herringbone style, but that doesn’t mean the place isn’t fresh. A patio with a large fire pit, big bar, wine room, and menu full of modern comforts brings things back up to date. Order lemongrass and ginger hummus, deviled eggs with both truffle oil and fried pickles, pretzel bullets with cinnamon brown sugar and creme anglaise, a selection of sliders, and a smoked onion soup to slide into summer 2024 … aided, obviously, with a Bombay Sapphire Sparkling Lemon." - Su-Jit Lin
