The ATL Hit List: The Best New Restaurants In Atlanta

"Motorboat’s vintage water sport theme adds to the offbeat dive bar feel inside (there are photos of water skiers and random fish-related baubles on every wall). Get into it because it's fun to sit beneath blue-hued lights and sip strong cocktails that have shark gummies at the bottom. It’s also a great place to grab a quick bite since the O4W spot offers tasty classic sandwiches to go along with the fun drinking scene. Tear into a tasty muffaletta on a focaccia bread from Alon’s Bakery while a water skiing woman cheers you on from her retro painting. " - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
