Atlanta is teeming with places to grab a bite, have a drink or get your sing on after 11 p.m. — so many that it’s not always easy to choose.

Some people might prefer to spend an evening at one these five quintessential dive bars. Some might prefer one of these speakeasies with secret rooms.

But which is the best? That’s what this week’s Best of Atlanta poll aims to find out.

If your favorite market isn't on here, you can submit a write-in nominee by emailing your pick to nancy.clanton@ajc.com.

If enough people suggest your favorite spot, we’ll add it to our poll.

For your days off, we have some suggestions to get a good meal.

» Best seafood spot

» Best burger in Atlanta 

» Best barbecue in Atlanta

» Best Chinese food

And check out all of our Best of Atlanta winners so far this year.
