Holiday Bar
1115 Howell Mill Rd NW, Atlanta, GA
Crema's Take
“Holiday Bar is a festive cocktail destination where craft drinks like espresso martinis meet genuinely great vibes, thanks to staff who actually seem to enjoy being there. The space pulls off that tricky balance of being chill enough for a solo laptop session on weeknights but transforming into a lively music-filled gathering spot when the DJ spins on weekends, complete with outdoor fire areas and decor that consistently exceeds expectations. It's the kind of place where you go for a drink and end up coming back because the bartenders remember you and the energy—backed by a thoughtfully mixed playlist—just feels right.”

My girl, Jada! Turned us upppppp! My husband didn’t have his id so we couldn’t come back to the live DJ at 8p 😭 but we loved the vibe, the drinks, and Jada’s energy! We will be back and hope to see you there 😘💅🏾🥳🥰
Met a friend here for drinks and upon arrival it wasn't too busy but it did get packed by the end of the evening. The decor was super festive! No food served, interesting cocktail selection, and the drinks were pretty good. The female bartender was extremely slow and was talking to her friends vs serving guests so the line was not moving very fast. I saw a male ask her if she needed help which she declined but probably should've accepted. They turned on heat lamps and it got extremely uncomfortable and hot in the place so we left.
Holiday bar was a vibe. The music was mix well and there was a balance playlist. The decor on the inside over delivered on expectations. We tried the Expresso Martini and it was great. Went back for seconds. Crowd was full but still took to move around. You would need to come early for seats on the inside. The outside but the heats and fire was warm and cozy. Great night of fun. Easy to find. Parking there is a garage but not much street parking it’s in a plaza with other fun activity as welll
Great place for happy hour or a corporate event and date nights. It is a little small but it works. There is an outdoor fire out area for your enjoyment. The staff is great and friendly. It is pretty cool that this place serves hot cocoa. It’s right in the heart midtown Atlanta. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Definitely a place you should visit.
Love it here! Chill enough to work on my laptop weeknights, but busy on weekends when the DJ is there. I love brining out of town friends here. The bartenders really care & it seems like they enjoy working there which is nice. They don’t sell food but you can bring your own (BYOF, if you will). It’s decorated for the holidays now & their hot drinks are awesome. The cider is my fave!
