Neighborhood steak place and bar with pretty good food and amazing martinis. You basically get two martinis when ordering one because they pour you a martini glass full, then give you a little flask on ice with what amounts to another drink for you to pour in your glass after finishing the first one. Ask for the blue cheese stuffed olives.

The Clermont Lounge is Atlanta's oldest strip club. Although the basement space began life in 1955 as an upscale supper club, it was reborn as the Clermont Lounge in 1965 and has become an Atlanta landmark.
Located in the basement of the Clermont Motor Hotel on Ponce De Leon, the Clermont Lounge offers great entertainment, generous drinks and much, much more.
Depending on your group, I might recommend a visit to this storied and skanky Atlanta "adult" entertainment venue.

Awesome place with a HUGE amount of outdoor seating right on the Beltline. Picnic tables, high tops, reclining Adirondack chairs around fire pits. Take a walk and stop here for drinks and really good upscale bar food.
It's a place that is both hip and also laid back (order at counter, they text when food is ready). They have live music sometimes but in general, it's great for people watching and cute dog petting on a lovely day.
