Pinewood

Top choice in Atlanta


Decatur hipsters converge on this agonizingly curated cocktail bar and restaurant for both revamped classics such as the 1972 old-fashioned (small-batch bourbon, lemon oleosaccharum, Angostura bitters, lemon and orange expression) and oft-changing new craft like Stay Gold, Ponyboy! (bourbon, grapefruit, honey, Campari, allspice, bitters). Syrups, tinctures, infusions and sodas are made in-house, often with locally sourced ingredients.
