The open-air bar features a winding gravel path through soft seating choices underneath a canopy of old oak and palm trees. The patio area was originally a pool and gym area for the mid-century 1950's residential structure recently reimagined as a hotel. (Chris Hunt for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
