This is no time to be crying a river over all that money you lost in strip poker, not to mention your dignity. Wipe your face off, and go make a big splash at any one of these fountains of youth.
Compound
1008 Brady Ave. NE (@ Howell Mill Rd.)
West Midtown 404.872.4621
Urban sprawl brought us this large fortress teeming with Atlanta’s most stylish relaxing outside by the Zen reflecting pool (where they’re probably checking themselves out in the reflection) or striking up a dance-off inside.
East Andrews Bar
56 E. Andrews St. #13 (Peachtree & Roswell Rds.)
Buckhead 404.869.1132
Boasting not one but now two cascading fountains so clear you’ll have the urge to dive right in, East Andrews is one of the best outdoor dining/drinking/number-taking watering holes in town.
Front Page News
1104 Crescent Ave. (@ 12th St.)
Midtown 404.897.3500
Make your own headlines hiding behind your big Jackie O sunglasses on Sunday at the hangover brunch. Just don’t lose it in the sparkling fountain (though some people will do anything to get some press).
Nava
3060 Peachtree Rd. (West Paces Ferry & Peachtree St.)
Buckhead 404.240.1984
An upscale Southwestern cantina and restaurant, Nava is easily recognizable from Peachtree with its spacious pool spilling over the edges. We hope it’s not another kind of pool where the drunks bathe in the wee hours.
WETbar
960 Spring St. (@ 10th St.)
Midtown 404.745.9494
We can’t get much clearer than the title. Here you’ll find plenty to get you all hot and bothered with the very hot (but usually gay) bartenders. Cool off on the enchanting patio by the large bubbling fountain.
