Establishment

A name like The Establishment seems like some type of criminal organization from a John Wick movie—or a very stuffy British boarding school. But this Colony Square bar and restaurant is actually the type of establishment that serves fun cocktails like their refreshing Shirley and the Temple of Doom, which is served with a lollipop garnish. Rustic decor and chandeliers make it easy to mistake this place for a bougie hunting lodge. But outside, their spacious patio provides a scene-y spot to grab drinks and watch the parade of cars on Peachtree and 14th. And the food is solid, so we'd add this stop to our Friday night cocktail crawl when we’re ready for a small bite. We usually opt for the juicy duck fat fried chicken sliders and lemon pepper confit chicken wings.
