"What was once a private events space at Staplehouse became a cozy cocktail bar called Paper Crane Lounge at the end of 2017. Hidden above the restaurant’s buzzy dining room, the 2018 Eater awards Bar of the Year winner quickly became a darling on Atlanta’s cocktail scene." - Beth McKibben

"Paper Crane Lounge is hidden on the second floor of Staplehouse and feels a bit like a super villain’s lair. Instead of a swivel chair and a large ominous button, though, you’ll find high-end cocktails and a very short menu of upscale bar food - which means you can get a taste of Staplehouse without spending a whole paycheck. There’s a rotating list of ambiguously named drinks, like the Disco Nap and Masterpiece Theatre with descriptions such as “breezy,” “graceful,” and “intuitive,” instead of a list of ingredients. But just like the drinks downstairs, all of them are excellent." - Neal Cohen

"The quiet and cozy cocktail bar Paper Crane Lounge, located on the second floor of Staplehouse on Edgewood Avenue, serves an ever-evolving menu of drinks, named for and organized by flavor intensity and strength, rather than a listing of ingredients. Just check in at the host stand. No reservations necessary." - Beth McKibben
