Entry No. 2 — the Atlanta file — filed under: speakeasy

Ranger Station

You reach it by an interior staircase hidden behind a bookshelf door inside Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall, up into what the owner calls an 'attic frozen in time' — wood-paneled walls, thrifted couches, and a turntable spinning Otis Redding, styled as where park rangers go after a long day in the woods.

The move: Walk the Eastside Trail at dusk, then find the bookshelf door inside Ladybird for a rum-forward cocktail like the 'El Capitan' by candlelight on a worn leather couch.
