Modern rustic American restaurant with fire pits & lounge pods
"Southern living rooms were the inspiration behind the hourlong hot chocolate experience at Saints + Council in Atlanta, Georgia, though, where the signature private fireplaces set a cozy backdrop for trays of tabletop s’mores and freakshake-like creations like Peanut Buttercup hot chocolate made with peanut butter sweet cream, homemade peanut butter–infused whipped cream, and a peanut butter rim with crumbled Reese’s on top." - Kristy Alpert
"Saints + Council in Colony Square makes a solid Bloody Mary with all the traditional ingredients, but we’ve taken to it more because we love the lemon pepper salt rim, which reminds us of licking our fingers after polishing off a basket of LP wings. And if you want a breakfast that won’t send you back home for a midday nap, pair the brunch cocktail with the modern American restaurant’s delicious country bread toasts topped with avocado, figs, pickled onions, and a sweet balsamic glaze. Enjoy both on their big outdoor all-seasons patio for a full-on F.I.L.A. moment." - juli horsford, nina reeder, jacinta howard
"Early dates work well at the two-top peninsulas that jut out on the right side of the bar, allowing you to face your companion for soulful glances and footsie, while once things warm up you can shift to the left for traditional side-by-side seating. A few leather couches by the fireplace make for a cozy spot to wrap up last call before wandering through Colony Square, which offers plenty of picturesque places for first-kiss moments." - Su-Jit Lin
"At Saints and Council at Colony Square, the hot chocolate menu is unabashedly indulgent: the Cookies and Cream mixes milk and white chocolates and is topped with whipped cream and crumbled Oreos; the Consulate is a hot salted milk chocolate finished with whipped cream and chocolate shavings; and the most decadent option, the Peanut Butter Cup, pairs milk chocolate sweetened with cream with a peanut butter–infused whipped cream and chunks of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. You can grab a seat inside by the fireplace or outside on the patio by the fire pit, and some outdoor tables even have heated seats." - Beth McKibben
"When the Atlanta weather plays nice, we love to head to the quiet side of Colony Square to post up with a cocktail by the outdoor fire pits of Saint + Council’s spacious patio. And the scene is just as warming inside, with a towering fireplace near the entrance and soft, moody lighting around the bar. The venue has a catch-all American menu, which jumps around from burgers to pork belly risotto. And you’ll most likely be pleased with anything you pick (just not the tasteless mussels). But it’s the comforts like boozy hot chocolate, thick grilled cheese sandwiches, and bread pudding that keep us coming back." - Nina Reeder
