Because of technical problems with our polling site, we’re unable to access poll results. We will have the winner as soon as the problem is fixed.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is committed to continuing our normal features, where appropriate, during the coronavirus outbreak. For full coverage of the outbreak in Atlanta, please check our Coronavirus News Section. We have decided to continue Best of Atlanta voting for the time being, despite social distancing. We encourage our readers to support local businesses after the authorities loosen the social distancing rules — along with supporting those businesses that offer delivery or pickup during the outbreak.

Right now the best happy hours are virtual, shared with friends via Zoom or social media platforms. But that won’t last forever.

When the world returns to normal, that means we’ll return to actual happy hours in bars and restaurants, and we’ll enjoy specials on drinks and food while winding down with friends.
