DRINK: Tongue & Groove Written By Linda Ripoll // Photographed By Michell Daniel Very few cocktail lounges in Atlanta have a 13-year history as celebrated and revered as Tongue & Groove. With its recent relocation from Buckhead’s famed nightclub district to the old Lotus Lounge location, Tongue & Groove is primed and set for a major comeback within the newly bustling club/bar scene spreading throughout metro Atlanta. The new venue evokes an upscale, cosmopolitan appeal that beautifully offsets the eclectic yet vibrant décor. After you marvel over the new location, stop by the bar for their signature drink—the Blueberry Pomegranate Martini ($10). This cool concoction offers up just the right amounts of sweetness and tartness, and goes down smoothly. If you’re hungry for something to go along with your drink, there is a full-service kitchen creating delicious appetizers, tapas and sushi to satiate any palate. Tongue & Groove is more than a bar, it’s also a nightclub that hosts the hottest DJs in the city, keeping the party going until 3 a.m. For those in search of an exclusive experience, make a reservation at the Dom Pérignon room, where you can lounge in the lap of luxury while sipping on Dom Pérignon champagnes. Now that’s groovy! |
