The Best Places to Drink in Decatur, by the Record
Decatur has sent exactly one place into the record so far: Kimball House, honored by Esquire.
-
Rank 1. Kimball House
Seafood
Housed in a renovated rail depot, Kimball House is a seafood restaurant and serious cocktail bar with tufted leather booths, a carved mahogany bar, and a raw bar menu running past twenty oyster varieties, complete with tasting notes so you don't have to guess. Esquire named the Kimball House martini among America's finest, which should tell you something. The kitchen runs seasonal, and dessert regularly steals the table's attention. A Michelin Selected restaurant.
