"Midtown’s Larakin feels like a cool wine bar in some beachy city. That’s not just because it’s an entirely outdoor setting. It’s because the string lights, breezes, and unhurried mood makes us feel like we’re far away from deadlines and agendas. Slowly grazing on tinned fish and charcuterie keeps the focus on conversations that linger on well past the last drop from your bottle of syrah. Come on a Wednesday for their three-pour wine tastings, when they rotate a few things from their robust wine collection that ranges from a $40 Tokaji to a $100-ish California red." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
"This all-day coffee and wine bar opens at 8am, and that’s when bar staff are happy to pour a glass of chilled chenin blanc. Larakin sits on a luxury condo-filled stretch of 12th Street, so expect the morning crowd to be a mix of locals grabbing coffee (or a drink) and pet owners stopping in for chai lattes before a walk through Piedmont Park. The entirely outdoor setting feels unrushed, so you can slowly work through your bottle of red and maybe find the capacity to finally finish the Atomic Habits book your friend lent you a year ago." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
"Atlanta’s weather can be all over the place, so we don’t have many entirely outdoor settings. And that’s why Larakin feels like it should be in some city closer to the Tropic of Cancer line. This all-day coffee and wine bar is a great place to pass a few hours, especially on those mild Atlanta days and warm evenings. A small vibrant cove of plants, bright red patio umbrellas, and string lights attract a steady crowd of pet owners on their way to Piedmont Park, Midtown workers, and curious passersby—noteworthy because of its location on a quiet, luxury condo-filled stretch of 12th. Wine by the bottle is the move here with a solid list of options that cover all the major wine regions, ranging from a $40 Australian bubbly to a $100 California red. The small menu leans more snacky, like tinned seafood, pillowy focaccia, and charcuterie. But it’s just enough to make you forget about a full meal, the amount of time that’s lapsed, and that your patient corgi underneath your table has already cycled through a few naps. photo credit: Sarah Newman photo credit: Sarah Newman photo credit: Sarah Newman Pause Unmute" - Nina Reeder
"Owned by Jordan Chambers (formerly Steady Hand Pour), this Midtown coffee bar features an all-day menu of freshly baked biscuits and focaccia, along with tinned fish, French cafe-style sandwiches, cheese and charcuterie, and daily food specials. In the afternoons and evenings, Larakin turns into a wine bar and often features happy hour tastings. It’s hard to beat the lively patio overlooking 12th Street near Piedmont Park, especially with a bottle of wine or vermouth cocktail and some food shared with friends." - Eater Staff
