Close Company Bar

Close Company Bar Debuts in Atlanta, Joining Acclaimed Death & Co Universe | Eater Atlanta

"“It’s the unbuttoned, unpretentious younger sister of Death & Co: a little louder, a little looser, and unapologetically fun,” delivering a casual, funky neighborhood bar vibe with checkered floors, diner-esque elements reimagined in a modern way, and art curated by Field Trip Art Advisory. Designed for spontaneity, it operates first-come, first-served with a mix of seating and standing areas, and the menu favors straightforward names that describe what’s in the glass—from the Coconut Highball with Dewar’s Scotch and coconut soda ($15) to a Ranch Water ($9) and a Champagne Lassi ($17)—plus zero-proof options, all at a lower price point than Death & Co thanks to efficiencies and tech that make service fast and efficient. Set on the ground floor of one of the “Darth Vader-looking” Olson Kundig office buildings along the Beltline’s Eastside Trail near FOURTH Hotel and Ponce City Market, it’s meant to be an easy, approachable hangout where locals become regulars. Guests are encouraged to move and mingle like musical chairs, and bar snacks are self-served from an automat-inspired window using custom buzzers, including the Atlanta-inspired Lemon Pepper Chicken pastry pocket. “A bit of grit, a lot of soul, and no bullshit.”" - Colleen McNally Arnett
