Parlor

We visited this black owned establishment on Friday, August 26, 2022. We decided to go here on a whim. I’m sure that many of the black Instagram influencers will make their rounds to this place, if they haven’t already. They do have availability to book a reservation online. We couldn’t book a reservation online prior to. Many of the reservations were already taken. We decided to just go to the business anyways. We arrived around 7:30 pm. We parked in the lot right in front of the business. There is a kiosk where you can pay for parking and afterwards place your receipt on your dashboard. Upon arrival the business was clean, Afrocentric, and had a mellow ambiance. There wasn’t a hostess in the front. Also nobody asked or verified if we had a reservation. I don’t think you need a reservation here. It did appear the business has been featured in some Atlanta newspaper and magazine articles. It appears that anyone is welcome to come in and have a drink and order food as desired. We were the only patrons inside at the time when we came in. They do have a small table area right outside the front door, where one party of patrons can be seated. There are exquisite black portraits of beautiful black women on the walls. There was no cover charge upon entry. The bartender who we believe was the owner, warmly greeted us. He stated we could sit wherever we wanted. They have small tables and chairs for seating. There is also seating at the bar. I felt the chairs were a bit uncomfortable. They definitely could stand to get more comfortable seating options for patrons. However, I assume this may be so you don’t stay too long and not leave. The business has a nice drink menu and also a small food menu. The drink menu had amazing selections with interesting names and flavor combinations. We asked the bartender for assistance in choosing our drinks. He obliged and explained their signature drink choices in great detail with ease. I always ask what is the sweetest drink, and he definitely informed me the Smooth Operator was. He also saw I was taking photos of the beautiful place and jokingly stated I should be their social media manager. We ordered the following menu items: Gamblers & Gallantry drink, Smooth Operator drink, Lamb chops, and Veggie spring rolls. There was a DJ area with speakers and at the time nobody was DJing. They did have R&B hits playing from the speakers, which helped set the vibe and meshed well with the ambiance. Our drinks took about 10 minutes to get to the table. The Smooth Operator drink was delicious. It was refreshing, flavorful, and had a nice sweet/fruity balance. My boyfriend greatly enjoyed his drink and gave many compliments to the bartender. He stated his drink was smooth and very well crafted. Our food came to the table about 12 minutes later. The Lamb chops were pretty tender, savory, and very well seasoned. The rice was cooked to perfection and also quite tasty with a garlic butter profile. The Veggie spring rolls were crispy, crunchy, and seasoned well. The chili sauce that came with the spring rolls, was a great compliment with a kick and contrast. We greatly enjoyed the ambiance in this business which was had such a chill, grown, and sexy vibe. We had a great experience here and the service was efficient. This was a great short and sweet date night option for us. Especially since we went early in the evening on a Friday night. This is a great place to take a date for a drink or to have a night cap. I love that it is located right near Peters Street, which has many black owned businesses. I feel as though this is a hidden gem in Atlanta due to its low key vibe. As the night went on, there were more patrons that entered and ordered drinks/food. I would love to return on another occasion to try one of their other signature drinks. I would highly recommend this establishment to everyone in Atlanta.

It's a nice spot to lay low and chill. This venue is rented out for events so if you're looking for a venue, this spot is ideal for a crowd of 60-100 people to rome freely without feeling crowded. The main floor can hold maybe 25 comfortably. The drinks are nice. The happier hour I attended had a chef that had a number of small plate choice. I had lobster grilled cheese. Sorry no pic. It was ok. The cabernet was really good though.

Love love love This place was intimate, with a sexy grown vibe. I absolutely adored the Black art all around. With nice, comfy velvet sofas and a helpful and responsive staff, this is a definite favorite for me right now We didn’t order any actual food, but I tried almost all of their cocktails ‍♀️ with no complaints. When we go back, I will definitely try the food. There is an actual chef there and she was friendly and interacted with the customers, which was nice. Absolutely recommend ‼️

The Pink Door ....chill spot...good music...amazing custom drinks (Pretty Gin fizz) !! The hostess is Awesome and our server Alicia is super knowledgeable on the different black owned vendors ....literally a hidden gem!

Went to my 1st house party here. Loved it! DJ had everyone dancing. The vibe here is different than a regular club. House music is a whole thing by itself. Had very little interaction with house staff but when I did people were friendly. No food ordered. I bought a ginger ale and the lady who served it was VERY nice. Although there is parking on site there is a fee, $20.00 I think. Hard to find parking on the street. After driving around for a bit I found on street parking. NOTE: I do not know if this place has house parties all the time or just for the night I went. One would have to go online to see what's happening.

I have been wanting to try this place for quite sometime now. The other times I've tried before there was no parking in the area and their lot wants to charge $20 to park. This time I found an open spot around the corner and went in. The place is much smaller than it looks on pics, but is small and intimate. But they do have another area that's behind a door that's larger. The night I attended it seemed like there may have been a private party going on but I couldn't tell for sure. The bathroom was on that other side and when I went there seemed to be a bit better music being played and saw a bar and dj there. The waitress was nice for the most part. They charge $5 for a bottle of water btw.

My sisters and I were celebrating her birthday and this spot was perfect. The mood was a great grown folks vibe! Everyone was enjoying the music. The DJs' were diverse and set the tone for the night. The drinks were perfect! We definitely discovered a vibe that is in need of a repeat! Can't wait to return.

The drinks were just ok. The old fashioned was red for some reason and there wasn't a lemon. But I think this is a decent place to go to get to know someone. It's intimate and interesting. the venue is very cute but super tiny so we found ourselves required to stand up to let people walk through to their tables. You're also very close to the next tables conversation so if your next to a loud party it could be a pain. And at times the bartender shaking a drink overshadowed the music. There's also some type of venue nextdoor that was playing a totally different type of music very loud so it too kind of affected the ambiance in parlor. It's also $20 to park in their Parking lot.
