I came to Burle's last night for the first time. It's pretty money. I rarely enjoy most places in Atlanta, but I for sure enjoyed this spot. We came up the stairs from the Plant store and enjoyed decamping on a few of the bar seats at the end of the bar. Cocktails, have legit ingredients and are fairly priced. Couple this with a solid wine list, both draft and other beer options, and this is the kind of spot that Atlanta has been sorely lacking.
I met the owner briefly, and we both agreed that for the sheer size of city, Atlanta simply is underserved with late night, quality options. I mean sure there are Taco Macs, and various divey bars, but there are not many nice options open at say 11pm on a Monday, or even a Wednesday no less.
There are nice views of the beltline from this perched space, and awesome outdoor patio seats which should play well once Springs sets in. The service was both friendly and knowledgeable. We arrived around 8 on a Sunday and by the time we left around 10 the place was pretty crowded with a hip, younger clientele. When I think of my favorite cocktail bars in the US like Sparrow in Chicago or M.Bird in Tampa, these are places with quality drinks and bars, knowledgeable staff, and an upmarket, no-so-stuffy atmosphere. I'm hopeful that this joint is of this same ilk.
I will be back. Likely, often.
