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 Sandy Springs 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.

Just a short drive from Atlanta, Sandy Springs is bustling with businesses and great restaurants. During the coronavirus pandemic, happy hour undoubtedly looks a bit different but that doesn’t mean it will always be a thing of the past.

With so many choices in the area, residents and commuters have a lot of options when it comes to grabbing drinks after work once things return to a sense of normalcy.

The latest Best of Sandy Springs poll wants to know: What’s the best happy hour in the city? From classics like Ray’s on the River and Hammocks Trading Company to more unique options like Tupelo Honey and Under the Cork Tree, vote for your favorite watering hole to venture to once work is done.

Don’t see your favorite on our list? Submit a write-in nominee to crystal.villarreal@ajc.com. If enough people suggest your favorite, we’ll add it to our poll. The winner will be announced August 21.
