Buddy Buddy

Atlanta, Georgia

Buddy Buddy sits in the Midtown Promenade shopping center and calls itself a cocktail bar and Greek restaurant, a place where you hang with buddies. The team describes the room as working like a restaurant, like a bar, and like a Mom and Pop, and the informality is the point: seating is first come, first served, and no reservation is needed. The cocktail list runs to house originals such as Adelita's Song, built on agave gin and reposado and described as unconventional yet familiar, dry and voluptuous, and Aging Partiers #3, an americano riff using house aperitivo and Greek vermouth. Free parking is available by scanning a QR code at the entrance.
