Red Phone Booth

What it is

Red Phone Booth Atlanta is the original location of a national 1920s-style speakeasy brand. It sits at the back of a historic downtown building whose space once served as storage for Regenstein’s Department Store, at the corner of Peachtree and what used to be Cain Street, now Andrew Young International Boulevard. To get in, you dial a code from an antique red London phone booth. You can get the code through the bar’s website, which also offers memberships.

What to expect

The cocktail program focuses on classics like the Sazerac and Old Fashioned, made with house-prepared ingredients and double reverse osmosis ice. Inside, expect Italian leather seating and vintage decor. The Vault holds more than 100 premium selections in a climate-controlled room, and members can rent personal temperature-controlled lockers. The food menu sticks to Italian-inspired small plates, including Neapolitan-style pizzas.

Private events

For groups, the Mafia Kitchen is a hidden private room with its own bar, poker and billiards tables, HD screens and original artwork. Events can be booked through the website.

Before you go

Red Phone Booth opens in the late afternoon or early evening and runs until 1 a.m. most nights, with an earlier close on Sundays. Sort out the entry code before you arrive.
