Barcelona Wine Bar in Inman Park is a go-to spot for tapas and wine, whether you're on a date or just catching up with friends. The menu leans Spanish, with solid options like patatas bravas, jamón ibérico, and grilled octopus.

Johnny’s Hideaway

Johnny’s Hideaway is where you go when you want to dance but don’t feel like dealing with the usual club scene. It’s been around forever, and the crowd skews older, but that’s part of the charm. Expect a mix of Sinatra, Motown, ’70s and ’80s hits, plus some newer stuff later in the night. The dance floor stays packed, the drinks are strong, and if you need a break, you can grab a burger or a plate of fries at the bar.
