Buena Vida Tapas Opening on the Beltline in Old Fourth Ward, Atlanta | Eater Atlanta

"Opening later this year at the North and Line complex across from Historic Fourth Ward Park along the Beltline, this 190-seat Spanish tapas restaurant is owned by Adam Berlin and Juan Calle of Big Sky Buckhead. Berlin and Calle tapped chef Juan Hormiga, who currently works at Shamarkanda in Ibiza, to lead the kitchen, and Hormiga will channel the coastal vibes of Southern Spain in the dishes and tapas. The bar plans to feature cocktails, beer, and mainly Spanish wines. The space aims for a breezy, resort feel dotted with live plants and “vibrant bohemian colors,” drawing natural light from two-story windows in the bar and lounge area that opens onto the dining room and a 50-seat patio overlooking Historic Fourth Ward Park. Calle says the goal is to create a fun, approachable experience that brings together neighbors and visitors alike over truly authentic Spanish food and drinks." - Beth McKibben
