3 Atlanta Bars Make 'The Best Bars In America 2019' List

ATLANTA, GA — Nothing fights off the winter doldrums like gathering with a group of friends at a favorite watering hole, which The Daily Meal calls “the great socioeconomic equalizer” in its roundup of “The 150 Bars in America for 2019.” Georgia had three watering holes on the list, in Atlanta.

The list includes everything from "simple beach bars and swanky cocktail lounges" to "dusty dive bars and dens of iniquity," The Daily Meal said.

Here's a look at its Georgia picks for "The 150 Best Bars in America for 2019."

Holeman & Finch Public House, 2277 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta

Ranking on the list: No. 41

"Holeman and Finch Public House was at the forefront of the burgeoning craft cocktail movement in Atlanta back when it opened in 2008, and it remains a leader in the industry. ... There are six beers on tap, plus a rotating bottle-and-can list of a dozen or so brews; a carefully curated wine list; and the cocktail list, which has 13 classics and 10 rotating signature cocktails created by members of the bar team. Check out the custom-built charcuterie and wine cave, and sample some of chef Linton Hopkins’ whole animal and Southern vegetable cookery. Standouts include beef tartare with egg yolk and shoestring potatoes; his wife and co-owner Gina Hopkins’ pimento cheese; tea-braised collards with bacon and sorghum; and the famous burger, a house-ground double stack with American cheese and red onion, served with hand-cut fries alongside house-made ketchup and mustard."

The Sound Table, 483 Edgewood Avenue (+BLVD)

Ranking on the list: No. 67

"Frequently named as one of the best bars in America, The Sound Table in Atlanta lives up to the honor with both classic cocktails and their own creations. Go with The Wrong Man (mate-infused vodka, agave, lemon, and Angostura and chocolate bitters) or try Yakuza in Winter (mescal, scotch, yuzu, lemon, peach liqueur, and smoked chile bitters). Come after 11 p.m. and you’ll find a bar-turned-dance-club for some more fast-paced fun in Georgia."

Ticonderoga Club, Krog Street Market, 99 Krog Street Northeast, Atlanta

Ranking on the list: No. 70

"Hailed by numerous publications and websites as one of Atlanta's best bars, Ticonderoga Club has made a name for itself with its imaginative wine list, selection of rare sherries, and such memorable cocktails as the Ticonderoga Cup (Plantation Grand Reserve rum, cognac, sherry, pineapple, lemon, and mint). The Georgia bar has also made contributions to the recent low-proof cocktail trends with drinks, such as the Hootchy Cider Punch made with a house-made variation on Amer Picon and French cider. The bar serves a small menu of hearty fare, and a well-regarded Sunday brunch."
