"You can get well drinks anywhere. Vacation calls for drinks with pizzazz. Krog Street Market's Ticonderoga Club is a funky dining den and bar on the Eastside Beltline with high standards for its food and drink. The cocktail lineup is like a temperamental teenager—changing constantly. But if you spot A Turf Club on the menu, know you’ll be in for a good night with this lightly sweetened, herbal gin martini. If you’re steering clear of alcohol, they have excellent mocktails too, like the Rose Bush, a citrusy drink with apple cider vinegar, pineapple, and lemon, that tastes like a lemon ball drop." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"A cocktail-forward spot with off-menu martini highlights (the reviewer’s favorite is an off-menu ‘Nerve Pill’) and a sleeper savory bar snack: a grilled white sweet potato that’s smashed and charred, finished with cream and a load of herbs. The preparation evokes New Delhi street-grilled sweet potatoes (salt, lemon, coal-char) and is an excellent $13 shareable bar bite." - Henna Bakshi
"When the mood calls for a good meal bookended by a round of drinks, Ticonderoga is the total package. Hanging holiday lights make this Krog Street Market bar feel festive. Cocktails like the Ticonderoga Cup (rum, cognac, and sherry) demand an encore. And the small, seasonally changing menu will jump all over the globe—but it will always promise something that'll lead to you cleaning your plate. And while we recommend diving into the excellent steak tartare or a huge plate of spiced pork confit, what you’ll really want to witness (or order yourself, depending on your appetite) is the $200 chuck wagon. A bell ringing signals that someone ordered it, followed by a big kerfuffle of servers gathering to cheer and present the enormous 64-ounce chuck roast." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"A long-running, Michelin-recommended stalwart that appears in food-hall contexts and neighborhood bars, known for a creative menu mixing Asian, Southern, and New England influences paired with inventive cocktails." - Beth McKibben
"To be a member of this Krog Street Market New England-style tavern, one simply has to walk in, grab a seat, and order a drink or a meal. Try popular menu mainstays like the Ipswich clam roll, the seasonal vegan noodle bowl, or the Club’s iconic veal sweetbreads. Cocktails at Ticonderoga Club are always top-notch, as the restaurant is owned by three trailblazers of Atlanta’s cocktail movement: Greg Best, Paul Calvert, and Regan Smith. The drinks rotate regularly here, but T-Club’s mint julep riff, the Ticonderoga Cup, and an Irish coffee are always on the menu. Reservations are highly encouraged. Best for: Cocktails, vibes, and a hearty meal." - Eater Staff
