  87. Rank 87. Marcel

    Steakhouse

    Low lighting and red leather wrap a speakeasy-style steakhouse on the west side, where Ford Fry channels midcentury glamour through dry-aged beef and French sides like pommes aligot. Steak tartare arrives with bone marrow and sourdough; the côte de boeuf is substantial and properly tended. A expensive proposition, but the theater and precision justify the ticket.

  88. In Little Five Points, Brewhouse Cafe trains its screens on soccer matches and international sports with the intensity of a true partisan. The beer list spans continents, the wings arrive lemon-pepper or incendiary, and the Painkiller cocktail scales its proof to match the fervor of the crowd.

  89. Rank 89. Lucky Star

    Taiwanese

    A sleek lobby café by day and cocktail bar by night, Lucky Star pivots between Taiwanese comfort food—braised beef scallion pancakes, oyster omelets, house-made pastries—and evening drinks with confident precision. The green velvet and polished surfaces suggest a place that takes both its morning coffee and its after-dark cocktails seriously.

  92. Rank 92. BoccaLupo

    American Italian

    A neighborhood trattoria where Bruce Logue's modern Italian-American cooking—fried chicken parm with creamy collards, squid ink spaghetti with Calabrese sausage—lands with the ease of something both carefully made and utterly unpretentious. The focaccia alone, honey-brushed with house butter and aged balsamic, justifies a visit. Regulars pack the room for a reason.

  93. A self-serve beer hall on Peachtree where eighty taps dispense everything from pilsner to pale ale while twenty screens flicker above—the operative word is *you* pour, *you* pay, no intermediary required. The wings and cheeseburgers arrive as expected; the point is the frictionless efficiency of a place built for watching sports without ceremony or markup.

  98. Rank 98. Lyla Lila

    Southern European Mediterranean

    Craig Richards' Lyla Lila pairs moody interiors with southern European cooking centered on house-made pasta—the crispy duck lasagna with cocoa béchamel and ricotta-miso gnocchetti are unmissable. Roasted proteins and finishes like chocolate-orange mousse arrive with the precision of someone who understands restraint and the logic of a meal.
