Great, cozy space with pleasant staff. This place is truly a speakeasy so it's a bit tricky to find. There's a discrete pink door on the side of the building facing the paid parking lot. If you go earlier in the night you might be able to catch free street parking. On a Friday at 9pm, it's a bit quirt and intimate but it really picks up after 10pm when the crowd comes. The drinks are good and decently priced $13-18. The Wake The Dead was so refreshing and my favorite even they all were lovely to drink. The food is flavorful but the portions are a bit small. You'll be satisfied but not full. So consider getting an app too if you're truly hungry or eat before you get there.

We literally were the only people there the whole night. The outside looked closed. No lights, nothing welcoming. When we came in the employee were on their phones and laptop. The whole lounge was as big as a living room. Ambiance was very bleh. We had two drinks that came out to $35. The drinks were good tasting-ish but this isnt Jojo's Beloved Cocktail lounge ambiance. It felt just like waking up to a bad hook up that you arent attracted to, that says they have feelings for you and then proceeds to ask how you feel. And all you can say is: "Dead Inside". That was Parlor. Dead Inside.

I made reservations through OpenTable. My date and I meet at the adjacent parking lot, paid $15 each for parking and walked to the door. To our surprise, the door was locked and Parlor was obviously closed. I checked my email and OpenTable app. There was no notification my reservation had been cancelled. I was highly disappointed. Thankfully, I had a backup plan. The Red Phone Booth Buckhead was excellent.

My husband and I went out to enjoy craft cocktails however out of three drinks we tried only one truly impressed, the Corpse Reviver. Their rum drink lacked creativity and the pear sour was just fine. The decor was lovely but hard to enjoy due to dim lighting they had that night. It's definitely a speak easy vibe if you're into that. The bites were $18+ which we felt was expensive for a bite so we didn't try them. Overall I wouldn't go back but I feel there are those who would enjoy the atmosphere there.

I didn't have any food but the app won't allow you to leave any topic blank. 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.

Parlor is a good option for a few drinks with friends. Overall, the small bites were exactly as advertised and the drinks were decent, but the price for the experience did feel inflated (after all it is located in downtown Atlanta, so maybe I should not be so surprised). Next time, I will stay away from ordering anything that is not just a cocktail. We ordered four waters and bottled water was brought to the table instead of just glasses of water, which we thought was surprising. Overall, if you want the speakeasy experience, this is a good option since it is not as underground as most authentic speakeasies, but come prepared to spend either a lot of money or only have a couple of drinks.
Terrible experience. The layout has changed but social media is not updated to show that. Customer service was absolutely terrible. Unorganized set up for music. Poor communication. And Parlor lost me as a customer when they told me I need to come get my own food from the upstairs bar and bring it downstairs to the basement area where were sitting! Yet no one else had to do that. Since my wife had to go get the food I tipped her! Not them. And not to mention the bartender said he didn't know what I was talking about when I referred to OpenTable!!! It was a bad night and quite possibly could have been a one off but the way it went down was enough for me. The food was great so let me not forget to mention that.
Came in town to visit my friend. We found this place online and it had great reviews. So we made reservations and tried it out. We ended up staying all night! It was such a great experience. The staff there was amazing. Drinks and food were awesome and the DJ was top notch! Definitely plan to go back when I come in town.

Went for our reservation and didn't stay. When we showed up, we were in a totally different all black room with black metal chairs and only one other table of two was there. We were (politely) informed the food didn't start until later and the lounge itself wasn't open for a few more hours. The guy who told us all of that was great, and super understanding when we left - so nothing bad on the people. Just incredibly disappointed that these details aren't listed on their website. They show a cute cocktail lounge with vibrant colors and couches and paintings, not a black room with metal chairs. Will go back LATE one night because I really was excited to check this place out, but anything earlier than 9/10pm and this place isn't the vibe.
This place is beyond awesome! Great VIBE! Great DRINKS! Great SERVICE! Great DJ! Looking for a chill and intimate vibe? This a the spot or you! The food is a bit pricey, but it tastes great!
Can i just say OMG!!!!!!!!???

Omg! My boyfriend and I bought a couple of her pie cups at a market in Atlantic Station and I was very happy with my purchase! I’ve had a lot of vegan baked goods and her pies are cooked so well and taste so good. We bought her apple pie and peach cobbler. Both had very soft juicy bites of fruit that just melted in my mouth. I definitely will be coming back and maybe trying some cakes next!
