Upscale food hall with diverse cuisine, two bars, and lively atmosphere
"The Politan Row food hall at Colony Square is an easy way to scale your birthday dinner in either direction. Go wild, and make your own tasting menu of courses from different food vendors, from Caribbean and Indian to Italian and Vietnamese cuisines. Or keep it simple, hit one of Colony Square’s neighboring restaurants for dinner, then end with drinks at JoJo’s Beloved Cocktail Lounge, a ’70s-themed cocktail bar at the back of Politan." - nina reeder, jacinta howard
"When you need to hear a human voice that’s not coming from your TV, busy food halls are appealing. Politan Row, inside Midtown’s Colony Square is always full, has the feel of an upscale lounge, and usually tilts more towards young professionals chatting over very good oxtail tacos and incredible lemon pepper tuna subs and less towards kids running amok. Come to mix and mingle at weekly social events like Monday chess nights and Sunday karaoke. There’s also a bar in the center where you can post up and chat with the bartender or whoever else happens to be tossing back an entire margarita flight on a Wednesday. There’s always someone." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
"The dungeon-like smelly maze that is Colony Square’s underground lot is a little easier to bear because parking is validated for two hours with a receipt from one of Politan Row's many restaurants. That means you can dig into a superior veggie sandwich from Zaddy’s, or keep it sweet at Fit For A Cookie without worrying about paying an extra $30 for parking when you pull out of the dark lot back into the light of Peachtree Street." - juli horsford, jacinta howard
"Politan Row’s food hall is perfectly suited for a group of brunch veterans to divide and conquer all the stalls while avoiding the awkward tab-splitting conversation. Sunday breakfast specials like creamy grits topped with pan-fried catfish or heavily dressed waffles are added to an already full mix of menu lunch items in the popular Midtown destination. Get-in-where-you-fit-in seating offers plenty of options to crew up, including big leather loungers by the bar, outdoor patio seating, or even the lawn space to set up an impromptu picnic. On Sundays, Colony Square hosts Drag Queen Bingo, so you can play a few rounds until your unpunctual person decides to make an appearance." - nina reeder, juli horsford
"Colony Square in Midtown now includes its very own food hall, which is part of a multi-million-dollar renovation project. With 11 food stalls and a hidden cocktail bar called Jo Jo’s Beloved, food served at Politan Row ranges from Vietnamese and pizza to burgers, tacos, and Caribbean fare. There’s even an option to reserve a chef’s table experience." - Candy Hom
