"Open since the late ’80s, this leather gay bar has been a longtime institution for the LGBTQ community in Atlanta. Beyond themed clubbing nights, the Atlanta Eagle hosts a slew of events — from drag shows to trivia and karaoke. It also has a dedicated cafe inside that serves Southern classics, like fried green tomato sandwiches, fried pickles, and fried okra. The house tequila here is Astral, meaning your go-to drink is a cut above the usual well options. Or, request your margarita with Astral Tequila, get on the dance floor, and you’ll be set for a guaranteed great time." - Steven Craig Lindsey
