Nestled in the heart of Atlanta’s vibrant Midtown district, MidCity is a cocktail bar that stands out as a sanctuary for craft cocktail aficionados and night owls alike. Tucked away at 850 W Peachtree St NW, this intimate and sophisticated spot is much more than your average bar—it’s a celebration of mixology mastery, ambiance, and authentic hospitality.
Walking into MidCity is like stepping into a cozy, artfully curated hideaway. Though the space is delightfully small, it hums with an energy that feels both exclusive and inviting. The decor reflects a refined yet approachable sensibility, setting the perfect stage for an evening of carefully crafted libations.
What truly elevates MidCity is the unwavering commitment to craft. The bartenders are not just mixologists; they are passionate artisans who treat each cocktail like a masterpiece. Classic offerings such as the Sazerac and Moscow Mule are executed flawlessly, while inventive drinks like the Improved Cucumber Martini, Rum Old Fashioned, and the house-special Mezcla showcase creative flavor profiles that linger delightfully on the palate. For guests embracing a dry season, the mocktails are no afterthought—they arrive with just as much flavor and care, proving that quality can never be compromised.
Pairing drinks with bites, MidCity’s menu includes standout selections that complement their liquid artistry. The Charcuterie Board is a divine ensemble of artisanal meats, select cheeses, juicy grapes, and crunchy crackers, highlighted by bursts of savory caramelized onion jam. For lighter fare, the Hummus platter offers a creamy texture dotted with crunchy chickpeas, served alongside fresh carrots, cucumbers, and warm pita bread. And the Midtown Dog, a signature dish featuring a juicy beef sausage nestled in a brioche bun with bacon, coleslaw, gouda cheese, and their homemade corn sauce, delivers layers of smoky and tangy flavors with a satisfying crunch from potato stix. Each plate is designed to harmonize with the cocktail experience, showcasing both depth and balance.

Awesome small space bar with top-tier cocktails. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great late night vibe.
This is a hidden gem and I say hidden because I had no idea this place existed. But WOW, is super small but packs a mean punch with its ambiance and decor. This is truly the definition of a CRAFT COCKTAIL bar with REAL bartenders and mixology. I am currently in a “dry” season and the mocktails were delicious. Everyone was super nice and pleasant as well. Will definitely return to enjoy the cocktails when my “dry” season is over. I highly recommend to pregame here or maybe just a cute place, nice vibe, good service and a real bar experience.
I looked this place up and decided to walk 15 min to get there only to be pleasantly surprised that it was even better than I expected. The atmosphere is either better than the reviews on the picture show. The bar staff are true mixologists which made me think there's no way the food can follow. I was wrong! The bar staff knew exactly what to offer and everything I tried was perfect! Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Add to that the vibe and ambiance and the ambient music background and your almost in a speak easy! Definitely recommend.
Best cocktail bar in Atlanta! They put so much detail and care into their craft cocktails. I’ve been trying to find an espresso martini as good as theirs since moving out of Atlanta, and I think it’s impossible. Great atmosphere too!
I travel the country searching for the best espresso Martini, not only they have the best here. But they’ve created their own cocktail that’s even better. Called coffee, go ahead and try both and decide for yourself. Ford menu is great and the staff are artist at their craft with love and passion for the game. All while having good prices, this is def a 5 star must have experience in the ATL …
This is a nice spot fora wide variety of drinks prepared with pride and precision. The ambience was great and so were the drinks. The food menu is very limited...just enjoy to put something on your stomach.
Mid City is a cocktail gem! Their “Coffee” (an espresso martini but better) is AMAZING. We also attended their event with Eric Van Beek from Handshake Bar in Mexico City — the orange wine and old fashioned were perfection. Great cocktails, great vibes, highly recommend!
I was in Atlanta on a business trip and stumbled upon Mid City—what a gem! I was looking for a nice place to unwind with some drinks, and this spot hit the mark perfectly. The ambience was stylish yet relaxed, making it a great place to chill. The cocktails were excellent, crafted with care and even made specialty on demand, which was a nice touch. And the hummus? Absolutely delicious. Big thanks to the staff for the warm hospitality. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town.
