Edgar's Proof & Provision

Atlanta


This basement bar under the Georgian Terrace Hotel bills itself as a loved-by-locals community drinkery. It is particularly primed for hidden-away imbibing on classy cocktails or curated craft drafts paired with the grilled cheese (fontina, cheddar, Swiss, pecorino spread, jalapeño corn bread, bourbon barrel-aged bacon – do it! Do it now!). After a show at Fox Theatre, it's a madhouse.
