"Strangers In Paradise is the fun alcohol anchor for the Lee + White food hall. A neon green alligator leads the way to the bar. But if that somehow eludes you, the dance music thumping in the retro speakers is a good tip off. Pull up a bar stool and snag one of their extra boozy tropical drinks. Get The Pink Flamingo, which comes in a giant glass in the shape of, well, a flamingo. It’s a pleasant blend of bitter aperol, dry prosecco, and sweet watermelon nectar. We like that all the drinks (especially the tequila-heavy Shark Bite, which you drink out of a shark’s mouth) remind us of a beachy resort bar that fully commits to the schtick. It’ll be flip-flop season here year-round." - juli horsford
"A playful West End tiki-style bar serving an oversized 'Cheeseburger in Paradise' for four — a rum-forward mix with lime, orgeat, and orange liqueur — presented theatrically with a shower of bubbles and patrons’ Polaroids on the wall; the concept leans into a tongue-in-cheek late-’80s/early-’90s Florida resort-bar vibe and uses custom, cartoony cheeseburger-shaped ceramic punch bowls made with local artisans." - Caroline Eubanks
"The team behind Ladybird Grove and Mess Hall and Ranger Station has a new bar near in the Lee + White food hall. A neon alligator points the way to tropical cocktails just off the Beltline. And it's fun, so Strangers In Paradise was added to our Best Bar guide." - juli horsford, jacinta howard
"When Cancer feels land-locked I send them to the ocean-themed Strangers in Paradise for drinks like the “Pink Flamingo” (prosecco, watermelon nectar, aperol and lemon) or “Hawaiian Shirt Night” (bourbon-aged rum, coffee liqueur, and banana bitters) to bring the sea home." - Denise K. James
