Entry No. 9 — the Atlanta file — filed under: speakeasy

The James Room

By day it's a quiet cafe pulling espresso at the base of the Studioplex lofts near the BeltLine; after 5pm the same room folds itself into a candlelit speakeasy of leather booths and chandeliers — you park at Studioplex, walk down to BeltLine level, and the bar is at the end of the staircase closest to the deck.

The move: Coffee here mid-afternoon, a walk on the Eastside Trail past Ponce City Market, then circle back after dark when the same room has become a different bar entirely.
