Atlanta takes its cocktails seriously. So seriously, in fact, that it was a challenge to even narrow our Best of Atlanta nominee list down to eight.
To come in first on this prestigious list is quite the feat. That top honor goes to Sprig Restaurant in Decatur, who's creative cocktail list shines bright like a beacon in the night.
