Anansi Cocktail Lounge — Restaurant in Avondale Estates

Ion know who need to hear this review but let’s go… Absolutely no dinner just snacks 😂😩!!! So if you’re looking to only get drinks this is your spot. Full bar with a very small menu. More of a social laid back, date night with friends kinda vibe (mixed crowd). Kinda gave me a woman’s version of a Cigar bar minus the Cigars and smoke. Cute and vintage however… Seating is very limited and is first come first served. I went on a Saturday night and the vibe was all over the place, felt like the office everybody just standing around talking lol and the music was off. Most definitely tell your friends to meet you otherwise you’ll be sitting or standing alone lol. Ijs this is not a solo thing you’ll have a better time on a date or with friends for sure but keep in mind seating is limited. The reviews made me go but honestly it’s just cute. Nice ambiance but it lacks entertainment. Oh yeah and I didn’t like the fact that some of the drinks don’t come with straws depending on your glass, the majority of the customers are drinking from the glasses and again no food so the drinks are not cheap. $19 for one drink and yes gratuity is already added. 2 drinks that’s a bottle of Woodford Reserve for me 🙄🥹 wasn’t worth $60 that’s including the Uber ride I was...

I am so excited that this place has opened! Truly, I had such a great experience. The ambience is amazing. It is super easy to find and there’s tons of parking. The bar is beautiful. It is so well decorated and the service is great. However, and this is a pretty big however, this is a cocktail bar. I was very disappointed in the menu. The entire menu is filled with standard, classic American cocktails. Think paper plane, old fashion, and Manhattan’s. There is absolutely no specialty cocktails. In my opinion a bar this beautiful, must have specialty cocktails. This space would benefit so much by hiring a mixologist. (The drinks, we ordered, both an alcoholic, and non-alcoholic drink were not balanced. They were overly sweet and sour) The mixologist would really be able to take the bar to the next level and create custom craft cocktails that really fit the space and theme. I don’t think ordering a bar standard drink makes sense in a place this lovely. Atlanta loves a crafted drink and definitely willing to pay for a nice drink. I really want to see this...

Listen, when I tell you, I’ve never seen anything like it in the area and it’s quite a vibe, I MEAN it! The cocktails, the music and just the attention to detail are just a few reasons why this place has become my new hangout spot. The feels are unmatched to any establishment I’ve been to in a while and I’m happy to have a place like this in my community. The ambiance screams class and elegance amongst other things. Stepping foot inside makes you want to elevate in every way, from the way you look- to the way you act- words truly can’t convey the sophistication you’d want to possess being inside.

The place is rather chill from the looks of it outside but once you step in you’re transformed to another place and can easily forget you’re in the heart of Decatur/Atl. It’s overwhelming in all the right ways.

The bartenders are personable and engaging but most importantly, amazing at their ability to make drinks that keep you wanting more. I can’t rave enough about this bar and hope you feel these exact same sentiments when you...
