Extra cash burning a hole in your beaded clutch or those blue jeans? Wet your whistle at these five pricey watering holes.
BED Atlanta
The Glenn Hotel, 110 Marietta St. (@ Spring St.)
Downtown 404.222.7992
BED Atlanta chefs up a spread of seductive cocktails with names such as The G-Spot, Golden Shower, and Bed Knob priced at $12.
Beluga Martini Bar
3115 Piedmont Rd. NE (Martina Dr. NE & E. Paces Ferry Rd. NE)
Buckhead 404.869.1090
Chat it up with piano players, sultry lounge singers, and $15 French Connection martinis at this jazzy nightclub.
Compound
1008 Brady Ave. NE (@ Howell Mill Rd.)
Westside 404.872.4621
After you get through the $20 cover and $5–10 parking, the $10+ cocktails at this white-hot bar will start to seem more expensive than their price tag claims.
Lotus
565 Main St. (Lindbergh City Center)
404.869.3445
Lounging in the lap of luxury certainly ain’t cheap. All of Lotus’ 10-ounce specialty martinis cost between $8 and $12.
XO Bar
3315 Peachtree St. (Highland Dr. & Piedmont Rd.)
Buckhead 404.946.9060
Perhaps the most indulgent of all are the chi-chi drinks at Atlanta’s swank cognac bar where many tasty libations cost more than your shoes and your bag combined.
