Hampton + Hudson

Give your eyes a second to adapt to the dreary lighting if you stop by Inman Park’s Hampton + Hudson after nightfall. The bar and restaurant has been a neighborhood hangout for years, proven by the sectional booths that scream “bring all of your friends” and the battle-scarred wooden tables that have seen plenty of elbows and pint glasses. Between trivia nights and game watch parties, it’s a cool spot to meet up with friends to have a beer and eat something light. The upscale pub menu isn’t what it used to be, so these days, stick to ordering a Tropicália on tap, and munching on the jalapeños and ground chorizo served with tortilla chips.
