15 Hottest New Cocktail Spots Around Atlanta
"Pata Negra Mezcaleria took over the space previously home to the Usual at the Arya apartment complex on Peachtree Street. Gather friends for shared plates of crispy tlayudas loaded with black beans, Oaxaca cheese, avocado and chapulines and a trio of enmoladas drizzled with smoky mole. Order entrees of tender pulpo served atop squid ink and salsa matcha or a whole branzino dressed with chilis, tomatillos, and peppers. Like the food, cocktails are packed with flavor and elegantly presented, leaning into mezcal and other agave spirits. This includes the restaurant’s namesake cocktail made with blanco tequila and Banhez Espadín-Barril mezcal, sage, palo santo, and lemon." - Molly Harris, Eater Staff
