This Atlanta spot self-bills as a cocktail den. It’s an apt title too, as the space is incredibly cozy. The signature cocktail list is mouthwatering, with drinks like the Pretty Gin Fizz, a mix of gin, elderflower liqueur, yuzu soda, and butterfly pea-basil tea. There are man caves, and then there mindfully put-together bars that function with the welcoming nature of a fully decked-out basement. The Parlor is very much the latter.

Parlor, a pre-Prohibition-style cocktail den, is now open Wednesday through Saturday evenings in Castleberry Hill, according to Instagram. Parlor is fashioned after the room found in most 19th-century homes, where people gathered following dinner to chat and sip digestifs.

Atlanta’s newest cocktail lounge has just unlocked its doors. Parlor is now open at 249 Peters Street in Castleberry Hill. Parlor is the latest venture by Alphonzo Cross, owner of brand development company Quintessential. He has assembled a consultant team of veteran food and beverage pros to develop a menu fit for a sophisticated, 30-seat cocktail 'den.'

If you’re searching for the perfect place to enjoy postsupper sips, look no further than Parlor, a craft cocktail den hidden behind a pink door in Castleberry Hill. Alphonzo Cross, who owns the bar, explains that the idea was born out of a need for the in between, a place where people could interact without the hurry of a restaurant or fast pace of a club while still enjoying an elevated food and beverage program.
