Redacted Basement Drink Parlor

Atlanta, Georgia

Redacted Basement Drink Parlor keeps to its name: the bar sits below street level on Georgia Avenue in Summerhill, and the door is around the side of the building on Reed Street. The venue bills itself simply as a Basement Drink Parlor, and the drinks list is built around house cocktails with deadpan names. Mistaken For A Regular combines lemongrass shochu, cantaloupe, coconut, cucumber and lime; Participation Trophy uses gin, strawberry syrup, balsamic and elderflower tonic; the 7 Amaro Sazerac stacks seven amari with Peychaud's and orange bitters plus an absinthe rinse. Beer, wine and a charcuterie board round out the offer. Closing times are posted as midnight-ish and 1am-ish.
