"Weekend reservations are key at Tesserae in the Thompson hotel since the Buckhead rooftop bar is a hotspot for the celebrity and socialite syndicate. Views stretch from Buckhead to Downtown Atlanta, and a large patio filled with cozy couches and fire pit troughs provide the perfect setting to sip on superb cocktails like the refreshing Rooftop Spritz. Inside, clubby hits pump through the speakers, but the crowd here is too cool to dance. And hopefully you're not too cool to eat or else you'd miss out on crab cakes and steak tartare." - juli horsford
