12 Hottest Cocktail Spots Around Atlanta Right Now
"Gene’s gives off heavy Louisiana vibes from the second you walk in the door thanks to neon signs, red lighting, disco balls, kitschy decor, and random little knick-knacks, which all contribute to the chill party atmosphere. You could order at the deli-style counter and find a table, but we like the idea of heading straight to the bar, where you have a seat, hang out, and order whatever you want without having to grab a number or wait in line. It’s the season (or the year?) of the martini, and here it’s also made with Murrell’s Row – classic, simple, and garnished with a smoked olive skewer. The Tulsi Tonic is delicious, as well, but the real reason to come to Gene’s is for the frozen drinks. You’ve got a banana daiquiri, a margarita, a hurricane, and a bushwacker to choose from, or go zero proof with the Genesicle, which has orange, vanilla, and creamy coconut. You can also get Eno Amaro shots on tap." - Allison Ramirez, Henna Bakshi
