Rowdy Tiger Whiskey Bar & Kitchen

Community Smith Replaced by Rowdy Tiger Whiskey Bar and Kitchen in Midtown, Atlanta | Eater Atlanta

"Located in the Renaissance hotel on Midtown’s West Peachtree, this recently rebranded restaurant reopened June 8 with a Prohibition-era “blind tiger” inspiration and a focus on Southern-American comfort food. The beverage program boasts over 100 whiskeys and more than 50 moonshines, plus Prohibition-style cocktails served upstairs; the rooftop also offers snacks from the kitchen, lawn games, and additional whiskey selections. Executive chef Christina “Chris” Wai (Takorea) leads a menu of small plates and hearty entrees, including a fried green tomato caprese, a $32 sweet tea–brined heritage pork loin chop with Logan Turnpike grits, a $36 Lowcountry cioppino (sea bass, shrimp, smoked sausage, and red potatoes) served with butter-grilled bread, a $16 bourbon bacon cheeseburger on brioche, and croissant bread pudding drizzled with bourbon caramel. The main bar is open Sunday–Thursday 6:30 a.m.–12 a.m. and Friday–Saturday 6:30 a.m.–1 a.m., while the rooftop operates Sunday–Thursday 4 p.m.–11 p.m. and Friday–Saturday 4 p.m.–12 a.m." - Beth McKibben
