"Tending to fly under the radar, this is the place for you if you’re after craft cocktails and a locally-sourced menu that not only emphasizes a love of bacon, but is also vegetarian and vegan-friendly. Its energetic and inherently “cool” atmosphere is anything but fussy, and much to our delight, is both kid- and pet-friendly. What’s more, one patio and one bar aren’t enough; there are two of each, despite the space’s small stature. Open for dinner Monday-Friday and all day on weekends to accommodate for the ever-popular brunch service, our only complaint is that it isn’t open 24 hours!" - Green Olive Media
"Labeled a neighborhood establishment, Dead End Drinks (formerly named Ration and Dram) is run by Holeman & Finch alum Andy Minchow and has been drawing the cocktail faithful since it opened in 2014. This bar takes the word “craft” seriously, serving up cocktails containing genever (Dutch malted gin,) agricole rhum, brandy, and pisco, along with classics like the old fashioned and martini." - Beth McKibben
"This neighborhood establishment (formerly called Ration and Dram) is run by Holeman & Finch alum Andy Minchow and has been drawing the cocktail faithful since it opened in 2014. But don’t sleep on the food here, which ranges from deviled eggs and agedashi tofu to pork belly roulade and frittata shakshuka. Order the trio of traditional beignets during weekend brunch paired with a Pimm’s Cup or the Caffeine Fix made with cognac, Fernet, nitro coffee, and a whole egg." - Beth McKibben
"In 2021 Yi launched TKO as a pop-up at various Atlanta spots, including Ration and Dram (now Dead End Drinks), where he served his Korean-American dishes prior to opening the stall." - Beth McKibben
"I appreciated the decision for Ration and Dram to become Dead End Drinks and to host pop-ups like Humble Mumble, since that shift exemplifies the collaborative, inventive spirit driving Atlanta’s dining scene." - Beth McKibben
