The Colonnade

Where To Eat & Get A Little Historical - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"You can feel the "old-school" the moment you step into the massive dining room at this Cheshire Bridge institution. That’s why The Colonnade has served as a ready-made film set for movies like Identity Thief, A Walk in the Woods, and American Made. And the reliably good, no-nonsense Southern menu keeps this place full with long-time regulars. Fried chicken (you get a half bird) and a dirty martini It’s Atlanta’s second-oldest restaurant and has had a long, LGBTQ-friendly history. Robert Redford, Nick Nolte, Tom Cruise, Melissa McCarthy, and other actors who’ve filmed here" - juli horsford, jacinta howard
