Atlas opened in 2021 in the Bishop Arts District with a global cocktail menu. The vibe here is come-one-come-all. Pretty aperol spritzes stand tall alongside bottles of Lone Stars on the bar.

In sorry-not-sorry news, we’re spilling the beans on hard-to-find Atwater Alley: Go past the door of Henry’s Majestic, toward the alley, then hang a right after the sidewalk ends and look for the door with an upside-down A over a right-side-up A.

[…]

When the soup of the day is “mimosas” and sangrias come in towers, you know you’ve found home. Not to mention the spicy and tropical F*** It Bucket.
