"Side Saddle, a wine bar that sits on theBeltline’s Southeast Trail, is where to come and take a load off. There’s a sprawling patio, where couples sit at bistro tables leaning close over wine flights. And friends sit at the bar, toasting glasses of orange wine while overlooking a canopy of trees. On Thursday nights, a jazz band soundtracks that mix, making it a great option for a casually sophisticated date night. The menu is small but impactful, with dips like creamy hummus and dense and tangy pimento cheese. Plus, there’s a juicy smashburger if you’re in need of more than light grazing." - Jacinta Howard, Juli Horsford, Nina Reeder
