Rowdy Tiger Whiskey Bar & Kitchen

"With ample seating, private spaces, large tables, and an upstairs patio, Rowdy Tiger is an industrial-chic whiskey bar in the Renaissance Atlanta Midtown Hotel that has comfortably settled into the corporate dinner spot. On weekdays, tables fill with work teams in company-branded fleeces who drink the 100-plus whiskeys, from Japanese blends to American ryes, showcased above the bar. The American pub menu has diverse options like cornbread-fried shrimp and a whiskey-brined pork chop that will work well enough to please a large party with varying palates. But regardless of who we’re here with, we order the creamy, cheesy grits for weekend brunch or for dinner as the shrimp and grits entree. Rowdy Tiger’s rooftop also hosts events like Pride parties and holiday igloos—another great reason to keep this place on your radar." - nina reeder, demarco williams

"The heated igloos on the rooftop of Rowdy Tiger in Midtown can make for a fun post-work gathering with colleagues or a cozy weekend date night. Just be prepared to eat enough wings, nachos, flatbreads, and cocktails to feed a Whoville village because there is a minimum $300 food and beverage spend, which is paid in advance when you reserve here.
