Drawbar — Restaurant in Atlanta

Father's Day Dinner for 4 We arrived at The Interlock and parked in the designated lot, using ParkMobile to handle payment. We walked around for a few minutes—it took us a little while to locate the actual restaurant. It was our first time coming here, so we had to ask around a bit, but we eventually found it. We already knew ahead of time that they don’t take reservations unless you’re in a group of 8 to 12, so we planned to arrive early and just go with the flow. Luckily, our timing was perfect. We got there right on time and were able to grab a great outdoor table for four, right near the door. Once we got settled, we were handed menus. Those paper menus have seen better days, they were a little worn and wrinkled. Our server came by shortly after to take our drink orders.  The menu offers a nice variety, with creative cocktails, shareable small plates, and hearty entrée options. My wife went with a Heineken, I ordered a Bearded Iris Homestyle IPA, our oldest chose a sweet tea, and our youngest picked the bright blue martini-style drink—Betty's Blue Lemonade.  When the server returned, we were ready to place our food orders. The girls both went with cheeseburgers, while Wifey and I decided on the Surf & Turf Pasta. When I first saw “Surf & Turf,” I assumed the turf would be beef, but it turned out to be chicken—which was actually right up my alley. While we waited, we took in the setting—it’s hard not to appreciate the beautiful city views from our table. The food came out quicker than expected. The Surf & Turf Pasta was delicious—rich and flavorful with a spicy kick. For me, it was perfect, though for Wifey, it edged a little close to her spice limit. Still, she enjoyed it, but didn't finish the large portion. Perfect, more for me later.  The girls were happy with their burgers, and everything was served fresh and hot. What really sets this place apart is the combination of great views and the seamless indoor-outdoor layout. It creates an ideal atmosphere for relaxing and catching up. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit.  By the time we finished, the crowd had started to pick up, so we were glad we came when we did. I’d absolutely recommend this spot—it hits all the right notes for an elevated dining experience with amazing city views. 4.5...

I feel compelled to share my extraordinary experience at Drawbar Atlanta, where I was fortunate to have Jamais as my bartender. Jamais is a true maestro of mixology, and her skills behind the bar left me in awe.

From the moment I approached the counter, Jamais exuded an air of confidence and expertise. Her knowledge of cocktails was unparalleled, and her passion for her craft was palpable. Intrigued by her reputation for crafting exceptional drinks, I decided to try her take on a classic sidecar.

To say that Jamais's rendition of the sidecar was exceptional would be an understatement. The moment she began meticulously preparing the drink, it was evident that she approached each step with precision and care. The result was a masterpiece in a glass. The balance of flavors was impeccable, with the tartness of the citrus perfectly complementing the warmth of the brandy and the subtle sweetness of the triple sec. Every sip transported me to a realm of pure gustatory bliss.

What truly set Jamais apart was her creativity and attention to detail. She added her own unique twist to the classic sidecar, incorporating a touch of aromatic bitters and garnishing the drink with a delicate lemon zest, elevating it to new heights of elegance and complexity. It was evident that she had perfected her craft through countless hours of experimentation and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Beyond her exceptional mixology skills, Jamais's warm and engaging personality added an extra layer of enjoyment to my experience. She took the time to explain the inspiration behind her creations, engaging in lively conversation about the art of cocktail making. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and it made the entire visit a delightful and enlightening affair.

Jamais's expertise, creativity, and genuine passion for her craft make her a standout bartender at Drawbar Atlanta. Her mastery in crafting exquisite sidecars, combined with her warm hospitality, ensured that my visit was nothing short of extraordinary. I wholeheartedly recommend seeking out Jamais for an unforgettable cocktail experience that transcends the ordinary. I eagerly anticipate my next visit to savor her remarkable...

My friend and I heard great things about Drawbar so we decided to spend our evening here to enjoy the beautiful weather. At first, we received great service and ordered a bottle of wine and some apps. However, after receiving our food and wine, a server never came back over. My friend and I wanted another round of drinks and some more food/dessert. We watched the two servers (one was a man and one was a woman) who interacted with us in the beginning greet new guests and close them out as we sat empty handed for an hour. The female server was also taking care of what seemed to be her boyfriend as he constantly had his hands on her (and vice versa) and she even ate from his plate and took a shot with the table and other servers. At some point, we went inside to ask for a manager because we were so fed up. The female server said she would send a manager over and I went to sit back outside. A few moments later, she came over and apologized because apparently there was a mix up between her and the male server as they both thought the other person was serving us. We appreciated the apology and she even brought us a free round of drinks and took off one of our appetizers, however a manager never graced our presence. This upset us even further because it felt as though the manager couldn’t be bothered to interact with us face to face and simply allowed the server to comp some of our order. As my friend and I are in the service industry as well this was super disappointing to us because we felt like no one valued our business. The appetizers we had, the sliders and the truffle fries, were delicious and it was such a gorgeous spot but unfortunately we will not be back due to this...
