Move over, rosé. It’s Old Fashioned season. For many people, “fall” might mean a trip to go apple picking or a drive to see the foliage, but for right now, we’re focused on the best places to get a well-balanced drink to keep us warm and toasty as temps turn (at least a little) cooler.

Around Atlanta, there are plenty of places to find a fall cocktail — we’ll take ours with Grand Marnier, please — but we’ve narrowed down your options to 9 must-try restaurants. From top-tier steakhouses to an inventive margarita bar, all of these spots will serve up something perfect for the season, and offer to-go options so you can sip safely at home.

A number of Atlanta restaurants have opened for in-person dining. However, this should not be taken as an endorsement for dining in, as there are still safety concerns: for updated information on coronavirus cases in your area, please visit dph.georgia.gov. Studies indicate that there is a lower exposure risk when outdoors, but the level of risk involved with patio dining is contingent on restaurants following strict social distancing and other safety guidelines.

As the name would imply, this cult-favorite spot — created by a chef who’s just as beloved — is known for soul-food dishes with a modern twist. Think fried green tomatoes with goat cheese and crawfish remoulade. Naturally, you’ll need something to sip with your order. We suggest the Havana Old Fashioned with bourbon, Grand Marnier Cuvée Louis Alexandre, tart cherry, saffron, and bitters.

Did someone say charcuterie? Baraonda is open for temporary evening hours and online ordering and serving up a menu of homemade pastas, pizzas, and other Italian delicacies. It would be a shame to not pair your meal with a Boulevardier, honestly.
