Dirty Rascal
While this new addition to the Buckhead scene might technically be a restaurant, Dirty Rascal’s Italian-inspired cocktails are too good not to mention. Spritz lovers need look no further, as this upscale Italian-American resto has mastered the refreshing summer tipple. For those that prefer a spirits-forward drink, the martinis are some of the best in the city. 415 E. Paces Ferry Road, dirtyrascal.com
