"If a member of the Addams family ever designed a bar, we think it would look something like the interior of Mambo Zombi. Located on Edgewood, above the former Georgia Beer Garden space, this bar is full of skull decor, loosely inspired by the Day of the Dead. And you enter through a neon-lit coffin. Their original cocktail creations are mainly rum-based tropical drinks, and you can indulge your (presumably) inner pyro with the Monkey Screwed, a banana-infused rum that’s lit on fire before being served. After downing a few cocktails, make sure to hit the doll-stuffed bathroom where the nightmares of Chucky and Annabelle become a disturbing reality." - juli horsford
"Led by longtime Atlanta bartender Kysha Cyrus, Mambo Zombi resides in the former Georgia Beer Garden space, hardly visible from its perch on Edgewood Avenue. People enter via an outside stairway along the side of the building leading to the second floor and step into a space where a hodgepodge design is inspired by global celebrations of life, the honoring of ancestors, and the afterlife threaded throughout festival holidays like Día de los Muertos, All Souls Day, and Qingming. Expect Caribbean-style drinks and classic cocktails here, including the Singapore Sling, Mai Tai, Harvey Wallbanger, and Ti’ Punch, along with original tipples such as the Elote made with Haitian rhum, house-made corn milk, and condensed milk from Cyrus." - Beth McKibben, Henna Bakshi
"A themed cocktail spot above a beer garden with a neon-lit, coffin-forward entry and Día de los Muertos–inspired decor that serves Caribbean-style drinks and playful takes on classic cocktails in an intimate, theatrical setting." - Eater Staff

Expect Caribbean-style drinks and classic cocktails here, including the Singapore Sling, Mai Tai, Harvey Wallbanger, and Ti’ Punch. But when it’s warm outside in Atlanta, nothing beats the frozen pina colada at Mambo Zombi mixed with Bacardi tropical rum, fresh coconut, pineapple, and “happiness”." - Eater Staff
