14 of the Best Black-Owned Bars and Restaurants in Atlanta | Eater

"The Gathering Spot is a private membership club for Black business owners, executives, and creatives. In normal times, the hub has open workspaces and meeting rooms, and there’s a full-service bar open on weekdays. Today, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and recent protests against police brutality, the Gathering Spot has become a hotspot for activism, virtually and IRL. The club recently raised $50,000 in community funds for businesses, and encouraged nearly half a million dollars in spending activity at Black-owned companies in just five days, thanks to its own social media campaign. If you find yourself there soon, order the Jessica Rabbit cocktail, created bartender Eric Nathan. It’s a sweet, slightly earthy blend of GREY GOOSE vodka, carrot juice, ginger syrup, mango nectar, and agave." - Vox Creative
