Bar Pilar Atlanta: Hidden Cocktail Lounge Perfect for Parties

What you'll do:

Tucked beside Alici in Midtown, Bar Pilar feels like your group’s little secret hideout. Inspired by Hemingway’s famous boat, the space gives off a cozy, moody vibe with soft lighting, leather couches, and just the right amount of edge. The bar team shakes up both adventurous cocktails—think clarified daiquiris, martinis with a citrus twist, and even savory creations with charred onion vodka—as well as timeless favorites like negronis and old fashioneds. Beer and wine round things out, so everyone has something to sip. Food keeps the night moving, with everything from oysters and fritters to mussels in curry, crispy chicken sandwiches, and burgers. Whether you’re rolling in with a few friends or planning a private bachelor/ette bash, Bar Pilar is built for good drinks, good bites, and a laid-back party vibe.

Why we love it for your party:

• Tucked-away vibe (a cool, intimate setting perfect for groups)

• Cocktails with personality (playful twists on classics alongside the staples)

• Room to celebrate (private space available for bachelor parties, birthdays, and more)

• Plenty to share (snacks and mains that pair perfectly with drinks)

About this experience partner:

Bar Pilar comes from chef Pat Pascarella’s team, right next to his Italian spot, Alici. With a cocktail program led by Daniel Schmitz and a menu designed for both snacking and feasting, it’s the kind of place where the night always feels like a celebration.
