Cocktail Hour?



 
On vacation? Here on business? Student? Let's face it, we all need a drink. Here are some spots to grab a cocktail within stumbling distance to the hotel.....
  • Cafe 640 - right next door! Try the Grapefruit Rosewater Martini, you won't be sorry.
  • Pura Vida - walk out our front door, turn left and walk two doors down. Enough said.
  • 4th & Swift - modern comfort food and original cocktails with names like John Chapman? We're sold. You should be too.
  • Victory Sandwich followed by Dad's Garage - sandwiches, drinks and improv? win-win-win!
  • The Porter - a must for beer lovers and single ladies
  • Wrecking Bar - picked the best brewpub in Atlanta 2011
  • Sotto Sotto - for the wino in all of us
  • Krog Bar - anything Kevin Rathbun touches is gold so, you know, just go.

If you aren't in the mood to hang out in a bar or if you just want to lounge around in your room and have a few, you can pick something up here:

  • Buddy's  - they have a wonderful wine and beer selection for a gas station. No, really! Right on the corner of N Highland & North Ave
  • Green's - they have everything! Beer, wine, liquor, etc. 737 Ponce De Leon
  • Savi Urban Market - you can grab dinner and drinks at this fancy little market.
  • Publix Supermarket - the usual grocery store selection but this is going to be the closest of the four mentioned.

Lastly, you can combine tourism, education and drinking all in one by visiting Sweetwater and taking the brewery tour. We're just saying.

Where can I work out?






Several guests ask us on a regular basis if there is a gym nearby. I have put together a list of places to sweat it out while visiting us! 


TOUGH LOVE YOGA - 636 N Highland Ave

Located inside the Young Blood Gallery & Boutique just two doors down from us, Tough Love Yoga offers  a variety of classes. Please visit www.toughloveyoga.com for more information on classes, schedules and the lovely instructors. While you are there, be sure to pick up a one-of-a-kind gift from Young Blood Gallery



BTB FITNESS - 696A Cleburne Terrace NE

Right around the corner from us! An affiliate of Crossfit, BTB is an open source athletic training program which incorporates exercises from multiple disciplines including gymnastics, weightlifting and plyometric/sprint training.


PATH TRAILS - Freedom Parkway

Whether you are a jogger, walker or cyclist, the trails are paved paths perfect for either. There are several different trails to choose from depending on the distance you would like to go. Please go to pathfoundation.org to plan your route! 


PIEDMONT PARK - 1320 Monroe Dr

A beautiful place to visit with many activities to help keep you in shape. The Love You Healthy Series offers Spoga, a combination of spinning and yoga as well as, Spin N' Splash which combines spinning and water aerobics. In addition to the series, the park has several wallking/jogging trails, bike/skate trails and an amazing aquatic center. If you would like to ride a bike through the park and do not have one on hand, no worries, you can rent a bike from Skate Escape for as little as $6 an hour.
