Midtown is nestled among modern apartment buildings and office complexes, where tree-lined streets like Juniper and Myrtle are filled with early 20th century and art deco duplexes, historic single-family homes, and local businesses. It is the heart of Atlanta’s LGBTQ community, reflected in the neighborhood’s inclusive bars and restaurants. Attractions like Piedmont Park, Atlanta Botanical Garden, Fox Theatre, High Museum of Art, and Woodruff Arts Center all call Midtown home. With so many wonderful local spots for eating and drinking, it’s also a great neighborhood to explore on foot, and within easy walking distance from MARTA’s Midtown or Arts Center rail stations. Here are the best Midtown restaurants and bars worth visiting.
This latest update includes the addition of Elise at the Woodruff Arts Center, ISHIN Omakase and Celestia cocktail bar, alongside Blackjack Tapas Bar, and new restaurants at Colony Square’s food hall, Politan Row. Alici Oyster Bar was removed since its recent closure. Standbys like Lyla Lila and Nan Thai Fine Dining remain strong. The restaurants are listed in geographical order from south to north.
