This is one of my personal favorite spots around the city. You wouldn't expect much from looking at the outside, but it's a great spot to grab some drinks with (you guessed it) a rooftop overlooking Little 5 Points. However, what really seals the deal is that this spot actually has delicious food! I recommend the blackened chicken sandwich with fries.

This spot is a bit further out (15-25 minute drive depending on traffic), but if you are looking to try something that isn't typically available in other places, then give Desta a shot. I highly recommend getting the Meat Lovers Tibs with Injera especially if you are going with a group.

One of the best spots in the city for wings. And if you watch the TV show "Atlanta", this is the exact spot that Paper Boi gets the lemon pepper wet with the sauce on them. :)

Virginia Highland is a classier Little 5 Points in my opinion. :) If a live karaoke bar sounds like something you would enjoy (you would), then give Dark Horse Tavern a try at night.
