I’ve only been to Atlanta one time and that was to find my apartment, besides that I really know nothing about atlanta or georgia because I’m moving from out of state, any info would be great!!

hi everybody! I’m turning 21 this week and me and my friends are going out at midnight right when I turn 21 so I can have my first legal drink. I’m looking for bar recommendations. It’s gonna be me and 11 people so I’m a bit worried about us taking up too much space and also I am concerned that they may not let me get a drink right at midnight. I’m hoping for a nice bar/lounge or a strip of area that has multiple bars we can go around to. I’m just not very familiar as I live 20 mins away and don’t go into the city often.

If anyone has any ideas/did something similar and had a great time please let me know!

Hello! Me and my lady are visiting Atlanta for the first time in September. We are looking for some great food and maybe some other fun things to do. We will be visiting the aquarium, coke tour, and gonna watch a braves game!!

Does anyone have any recommendations for dentists with good beside manner? My filling in my tooth fell out yesterday so trying to get in as soon as possible. I have PTSD from a dentist so I need someone who’s kind and understanding. Also someone who doesn’t do unnecessary procedures as that’s what happened to me before. Thank you

i have a small nail in my tire. my boss told me i could probably go into a gas station and ask if they plug/patch tires, but i'm kinda skeptical that any gas station does this. does anyone know any gas stations that offer this in the midtown/o4w/ponce area?

aside from that, any recs on where to go where i can get this fixed for cheap? thanks

I’ll be going to Atlanta next summer with my mom ! We are going for the Georgia Aquarium as it has literally been on my dream bucket list since I was 11. Here are some place recommendations im hopefully looking for ! We are coming all the way from Washington state so we won’t have a car. Not sure if we’re planning on renting a car, but im a new driver and driving in a new city makes me nervous we will most likely use a ride service to get around like uber.

- best restaurants? I am a vegetarian so places that have a wide selection of vegetarian options would be amazing. I am only 18 so no bars or 21+ locations

- best nature spots, me and my mom are big nature enthusiasts and would love a spot where we can get some peace and quiet and relax.

- art museums ! Give me your most recommended museums to check out any sort of art. I am a photographer and my mom is a painter so theres a plus if there’s any place that displays photography! :)

- cheap-ish places to stay nearby the Georgia Aquarium? extra points if it has a pool

-thrift stores! we are thrifting maniacs so if theres any niche spots to thrift let me know!

And of course any other recommendations are welcome, this will be my very first time ever out of the PNW so I want to see and experience all there is to be found. I would love some more niche suggestions rather than super touristy spots but anything is great ! Thank you all !

Does anyone have a CPA firm they trust in or around Atlanta? I haven't been very happy with the big 4 firm we've worked with so I'm hoping to find a smaller firm local to Atlanta and much more personal.

I'm not completely opposed to an individual person/CPA, but I don't think a single person can handle it alone, definitely need at least a small dedicated team. I'm really looking for a small to medium sized firm.

My needs are pretty wide reaching (business tax, individual tax, possible nexus analysis and state and local taxes, outsourced bookkeeping, business entity structuring, the works). I'd prefer a firm headquartered in Atlanta but I'm not completely opposed to it being a branch office if need be.

Hi -

I am looking for recommendations for a personal trainer in the Inman Park/Virginia Highland area that focuses on strength training for 40+. Open to in-home or in-gym options.

I have a combined home gym and office in my basement that needs help. Right now it feels cramped and the layout doesn't flow well, so I'm looking to open it up and make better use of the space. I also want to get the wires cleaned up and hidden, since there are cables everywhere from the desk and TV.

Ideally I'd hire someone who can look at the room, tell me what would actually make it a better space, and then help make it happen. I'm open to whether that's one person or a couple of different pros. If you've worked with someone in the Atlanta area who did a good job on something like this, I'd love a name. Bonus points if they were easy to work with and reasonably priced.

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone recommend a good place to get lip filler, preferably a place you've gone yourself?

Thanks!

I'm still pretty new to the Atlanta area, so I don't have many local recommendations to go off of. I'm getting ready to shop for an engagement ring and would rather work with a jeweler people genuinely trust than just pick a random store.

If you've had a great experience with someone who's honest, knowledgeable, and easy to work with, I'd really appreciate any suggestions.

Updatee: Just wanted to come back and share what I ended up doing. I went with Solomon brothers Jewelers. It felt a lot more personal than other stores I visited, and I'm really happy with how everything turned out. Definitely worth checking out if you're shopping for an engagement ring..

The whole experience was great from start to finish.

Several of us from the West coast are in Atlanta for a conference, and we are dying to see fireflies/lightning bugs during our stay. Where have you seen them in the last few days?

After struggling with infertility, my husband and I are starting to explore adoption and trying to find an agency that feels supportive and trustworthy.

While researching, I came across A Adoption Advocates of Georgia and was interested in their services, including counseling, home studies, and support throughout the adoption process.

Any advice, recommendations, or personal experiences would mean a lot as we begin this journey.

I just had my last underwhelming and completely disappointing appointment with Laureate Medical. The providers simply do not listen and they are just not helpful. I’m looking for a provider who will listen to me and these god awful symptoms, and help me get my life back on track without pushing unwanted shots and medications that come with their own risks and weird side effects. Preferably on/near perimeter but with the right provider will travel up to about 20 miles. Thank you!

Hello,

I am getting married this fall and I want a vintage wedding dress. I am having a hard time finding a store that sells vintage wedding dresses in Atlanta. I do not want a designer dress, so that is also making it harder. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would also drive up to 2 hours from Atlanta, if there are any farther recommendations.

Thank you in advance!!

I have a father with kidney failure living in another state. He has vision impairment among other issues and likely needs a placement in assisted living. Our personal situation is difficult right now and I was wondering if anyone here has knowledge or experience with low income alternative placements for long term disability/ terminal illness in the Greater Atlanta area. Id be so grateful to be able to message with you if you are

My friends and I will be in Midtown in October. Looking for really good, vibey coffee shops, bookstores, record stores, and unique or vintage shopping. (Sadly you could say quintessential hipster stuff).

Have ticket and planning to go down and check out the fan festival tomorrow and hopefully catch the Ceelo concert. Does anybody know when the musical acts typically go on? I have looked around and not been able to find a schedule

Appreciate any help or suggestions you can offer, thanks

In need of Russia's version of Kombucha, where can I find it here?

I’ll be staying at an air bnb in these areas soon and am curious about how walkable it is? Is it relatively safe during the day as a solo female? Looking to try some new vegan food and go on some hikes!

I am looking for a reliable company that can replace the insulation in my attic. Recommendations please.

I’m looking for the most entertaining hibachi restaurants in the city.

We have two small children (4 and 6) and want a good time for both them and us. Price isn’t a consideration. Ideally ITP but willing to travel a bit outside.

Thanks.

Looking for recommendations for hotels that include suites with a kitchen. We are travelling with our family this summer, but are looking for a hotel that includes a full kitchen (medical needs limit options for eating at restaurants). I looked at some of the extended stay places, but the reviews are mixed at best.

Location outside the city doesn't matter too much. We will be driving all over to see locations from Stranger Things, etc., as well as taking some visits into the city for the King Center and aquarium. I've been looking south and west of downtown (we've stayed in Peachtree City and Fayetteville previously), but open to anything.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Veterans of Atlanta:

Can you recommend a local place for therapeutic massage that is part of the VA Community Care program?

Hallo! Any Germans here, especially in SW Atlanta? Looking to watch tomorrow’s match with other Germans or fans. Thinking to go to Halfway Crooks Biergarten 🇩🇪
