BURN by Rocky Patel Atlanta

The 17 Best Places To Eat & Drink At The Battery Atlanta

"When you first step inside Burn, it’ll remind you of an old boys club with dim lighting and the smell of cigar smoke wafting through the air—actually, it’s very old boys-clubbish since the crowd here is pretty testosterone heavy. The back wall is painted with large, slightly gaudy red roses, and in the center of the room is a large light pillar with what looks like upside down beige umbrellas hanging from the ceiling. It’s definitely a look. If you’re here for the full cigar bar experience, head to the back corner and browse the humidor, then head to the bar and order one of their signature cocktails—go for the 47 Reasons if you’re into gin. They’re open until 2am on weekends, so if you need a late night bite before heading home, get the crab cakes and loaded wedges—just know there’s a cloud of cigar smoke in the air at all times. " - nina reeder, demarco williams, juli horsford
