After Eight — Restaurant in Atlanta

I think this place has a lot of potential and was really busy considering their location. The cocktails are not balanced at all. The knights gambit is a Gibson riff infused with sesame and there’s about 60% too much sesame oil. The maestro was fairly delicious but there’s a note of cumin that is really off putting that doesn’t need to be there for the drinks success. Their whisky and whiskey selection isn’t huge but it is quality nonetheless. Their saving grace in my mind was one particular cocktail waitress named Nikki. She was so attentive and nice, incredible attitude and just generally adorable. You could tell she was really able to find some relatable energy with every table. Quite professional.

I wish after eight would hone their cocktail menu in a little because I love the idea of this place and I think the ceiling is higher than they are letting it be. Overall not...

Tell me—how much money is an olive worth to you? Because you just lost a loyal...

The experience you really need, exceeding expectations! Incredibly well crafted cocktails presented by an artsy poetic menu, tasty flavor boosted snacks, reasonable prices and outstanding quality all around. The chill ambiance kept us there for longer than expected and led us to taste more cocktails than planned. Friendly staff, beautiful people and top notch ingredients as well as presentation. You can tell the concept was well planned and all involved worked hard to make this happen, taking pride in it. I’m glad my friends suggested we’d try it. 100/10 stars. We want to try every item in the...
