"West Midtown is living a Terry McMillan novel. After a few closures, the neighborhood has been on a pursuit to get its groove back, and this time with a second location ofLadybird. Opening in the Star Metals district, it’ll add some green space to the area. So our guess is, yes, it’ll still be fine to bring Winston, your french bulldog when you drop by for drinks." - Jacinta Howard
"From their large outdoor space with long wooden tables to roving beer carts, Ladybird in Old Fourth Ward is a great place to spend a long afternoon with your gang of friends. The vibes and menu give childhood camp retreat with hotdogs, burgers, and big grilled meat platters. So once everyone arrives, order the Patio Punch and share their Backyard BBQ Board, which comes with good pulled pork, ribs, sausage, and sides. It gets packed on the weekends, so get there early to snag a table. And there are several event spaces and food packages if you're looking to organize a bigger shindig." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"Playing an integral part in the newer restaurant movement permeating throughout Atlanta, Ladybird offers great food with a great variety of ambiances, from patio, to bar, to private offering to communal dining. Oh and there's a gigantic US flag adorning one of the restaurant's walls, and a giant painting of a bear on another...so yeah, it's a must-visit." - Steven Johnson Studio
"If you’re in a grumpy mood, a simple walk past Ladybird’s colorful, always-bustling backyard can brighten things up. When the weather cooperates, this spot on the Eastside Beltline near KSM is easily one of the most popular patios in the city. Yellow umbrella-topped picnic tables, firepits, and even a beer-serving Airstream will make you nostalgic for summer camp. Besides boozy Capri Sun-like pouches, they serve food too, with standouts like the juicy double burger and a hot dog smothered in a cheesy chili, and larger options such as the BBQ board." - juli horsford, demarco williams, nina reeder, jacinta howard
"For a BeltLine break, few spots are more classic than this one, whose pet-friendly, campsite-inspired “grove” provides welcome respite from the trail. Brunch — a famously three-day opportunity here — as well as lunch and dinner are delivered to communal tables and deck chairs, and local beer and great cocktails, too. The spot is casual, but dress your dog to impress. They often feature their favorite four-legged guests on their ‘Gram." - Su-Jit Lin
