Atkins Park Restaurant & Bar • 1922

Atlanta's oldest continuously licensed tavern began as a humble deli in 1922, then snagged its beer and wine license right after Prohibition ended. Today in Virginia-Highland, the century-old pub draws regulars with duck fat-fried wings doused in chili-garlic sauce and the Bruno Burger, all served in a divey space that still smells faintly of beer and carries the warm chaos of a true neighborhood gathering spot.
