Corner Tavern West Midtown’s New Menu

April 11, 2012 | Category: Local Love | by Chris Watkins - 0 Comments

New gourmet-inspired menu options…from a dive bar?

We’re always a little skeptical when our favorite local watering holes diverge from their usual menu offerings. With regular patrons keeping the lights on and the seats filled, it can be a pretty ballsy move to change items they’ve come to know and love. But Corner Tavern owners Mike and Melanie Rabb don’t seem to have this hang up. Variety is the spice of life, and they’ve taken this mantra full steam ahead when they let the West Midtown Chef Cameron Lukkar run wild with the restaurant’s new menu.

Atlanta’s adult carnival descends upon Atlantic Station.

Imagine the carnival from your childhood. Bright lights, whimsical music, and midway games galore. Creepy carnies downing shots of booze between shifts to take the pain away. I digress.

Sweetwater Brewing stretches its legs…

In June 2011, the gang over at Sweetwater Brewing Company broke ground on an expansion to increase their capacity from 100K barrels to 400K barrels. Quite the undertaking, but with their ever-increasing popularity, the need for more space to increase production became a necessity. Fast forward to November 2011. Just a short five months after cranes and bulldozers leveled the adjacent parking lot and corrugated metal building, a new Sweetwater Brewing Company stands in its place.

Drink of the Week: Back to School Edition

August 18, 2011 | Category: Drink Of The Week | by Casey Horton - 0 Comments

 

Allow us to school you…

Perhaps, like us, you’ve noticed a bit more traffic on the roads as of late. Perhaps you’ve been stuck behind a slow-moving school bus. Or perhaps you’ve seen some youngsters scurrying down the sidwalk with backpacks and lunch boxes. Yes, it’s that time of year again, and school is back in session. And what better way to combat that added school traffic than with throwing back a drink or two after work? And for that, we suggest The Lunch Box. It’s an interesting mix of orange juice, amaretto liqueur, and beer — refreshing and delightfully boozy.

The Lunch Box

2 1/2 oz beer
2 1/2 oz orange juice
1 shot amaretto almond liqueur

Mix the beer and orange juice in a glass, drop the shot of ameretto in, then bottoms up! A variation is to mix all three ingredients together in one glass. Either way, it’s pure deliciousness.

Do you have to, do you have to let it linger? Why, yes.

Read on for some one-stop spots for all your entertainment needs.
