A Retro Mountain Lodge-Inspired Speakeasy with Landmark Cocktails ๐ธ๐
Tucked away on the second floor of Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall (behind a discreet wooden bookshelf door), Ranger Station is an intimate, atmospheric bar recently named one of Esquireโs Top 42 Bars in America for 2024. With space for just over 60 guests, reservations are strongly recommended. Stepping inside feels like entering a 1970s mountain cabin: warm wood paneling, plaid leather sofas, vintage hunting trophies, nostalgic artwork, and soft, ambient lighting. Every detail immerses you in a bygone era, like a film set frozen in time. ๐๏ธ Vinyl records spin quietly in the background โ from Aretha Franklin to Elvis Presley โ enhancing the cozy, retro vibe. Itโs a perfect spot for photos, quiet conversation, and savoring thoughtfully crafted cocktails. ๐ธ Landmark-Inspired Signature Cocktails: El Capitan โ Sage and cardamom-infused gin, peach-vanilla syrup, pineapple, and lemon. Tastes like a sunny winter day in Yosemite. Kalalau โ A tribute to Kauaiโs Nฤ Pali Coast: spiced cachaรงa blended with mint and aloe โ fresh, herbal, and smooth.๐ Thunderbolt โ Inspired by a classic 1946 peach mint julep, topped with crushed ice โ fruity, fragrant, and refreshing. ๐ Ranger Station 684 John Wesley Dobbs Ave NE Unit J, Atlanta, GA 30312 #AtlantaBars #RangerStation #Speakeasy #RetroVibes #CocktailCulture #EsquireBar #HiddenGem #AtlantaNightlife #MountainLodge #DateNight #MustVisit
