  2. In Poncey-Highland's moody wine bar, the list—heavy on reserves and aged Madeira—sets the tone, but Chef Ollie Honderd's kitchen keeps pace with seasonal small plates (panisse, ham and cheese beignets) and evening entrées like bistro steak and seared tilefish over black lentils. Everything coheres, including the vanilla semifreddo with melon granita that closes the meal.

    A neon-blue "Bless Your Heart" glows above the bar at this Ponce de Leon fixture where Chef Joey Ward transforms seasonal produce into dishes of surprising refinement—strawberry gazpacho, braised lamb loin, olive oil cake with lime curd. The charm here is genuine, earned through the kitchen's evident care rather than calculated nostalgia.

    A working fish market where a communal table and counter seating overlook the cases of daily catch. Order at the back—oysters, crudos, sandwiches—but expect Southern inflection: the blackened grouper sandwich arrives on a buttered seeded bun with Florida sauce and pickled peppers, generously spiced and without pretense. The gumbo is hearty, the specials driven by what came off the boats.

  87. Industry Tavern, tucked into the Terminus building in Buckhead, assembles a boisterous crowd around multiple screens showing whatever game matters that day. The kitchen pivots between bar-crowd staples—lobster nachos, barbecue chicken pizza, a towering pork totcho—with enough specificity to justify the noise.

  91. A brewery in the West End where massive screens broadcast games and a stone oven turns out pizzas with hot honey and pickled onions; the outdoor patio, ringed by fire pits, asks almost nothing of you but to settle in. Twenty taps deep in beer and built for the kind of watching that doesn't demand your full attention, it's a place where sports feel incidental to staying put.

  92. Rank 92. Tomo

    Sushi

    At the base of the Ritz-Carlton Residences, floor-to-ceiling windows flood a spare, modern room where a chef works through eight plated courses before moving to sushi—chu-toro nuta arrives with seared tuna, miso, balsamic, pistachio, and charred scallions in studied balance. The omakase counter, reserved well ahead, suggests a kitchen thinking carefully about restraint and technique.

  93. A neighborhood anchor for four decades, Ideal Sportsbar channels the particular warmth of a place where regulars know the bartender's name. Wings and tater tots arrive while pool balls crack and games flicker across every wall—the mechanics of devoted spectatorship refined to ritual.

  99. A low-key Clarkston bar where televisions outnumber quiet corners and the kitchen takes its wings—Buffalo, bourbon barbecue, sweet and spicy—as seriously as the crowds take their games. The patty melt and Reuben arrive dependably, but the blue cheese fries, loaded with roasted garlic and tomatoes, suggest an ambition that lingers past the final whistle.

  100. A former pop-up turned neighborhood fixture, Kamayan ATL fills its snug dining room with the convivial noise of communal eating. The menu pivots on family-style Filipino dishes—crispy lumpia, sinigang with fall-apart pork ribs in tamarind broth—eaten traditionally by hand, as the name promises. Tropical decor and the press of satisfied strangers at neighboring tables complete the scene.
