"With the garage windows raised, the soulful Atlanta vibes of Marcus Bar & Grille spill out into the sidewalk patio. Plants, albums of Atlanta-based artists, and roller skates cover nearly every corner of the Old Fourth Ward showstopper, and party tunes ensure the subtle tapping of feet throughout—’80s and ’90s R&B dance music will always be spellbinding. For brunch or dinner, we usually grab a seat under a shady umbrella, share a few cocktails with friends, and dig through the Southern menu, which has some decent dishes like the seafood-packed pasta and cornbread waffle." - nina reeder, demarco williams, juli horsford, jacinta howard
