Review of Atkins Park

This place hosts a mix of casually dressed regulars from the Virginia-Highland neighborhood and young crowds from other parts of town. The atmosphere is friendly and the ambience mellow and comfortable. Atkins Park began as a deli in 1922 (it holds the oldest existing tavern license in the city) and now includes a full-scale restaurant that stays open until 11pm (until midnight Fri-Sat). After that, better-than-average bar food is available until 2:30am. Atkins Park is known as the place to go for Jägermeister -- it sells more than almost any other bar in Atlanta. Things get lively when the restaurant closes and the music (rock, blues, and jazz) is turned up.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
