You can have a night out in Atlanta without losing out on the comforts of home. Lounges and clubs with warm atmospheres, strong drinks, and comfy couches (minus the cat’s claw marks) dot the city. Ditch the remote and the Bon Bons and make it a night at one of these three fitting finds.

Too often, “upscale” is just another word for “stuffy.” Park 75 Lounge & Terrace at The Four Seasons embodies the former without a hint of the latter. Seasonal cocktails are mixed behind the mahogany bar and delivered to you and your companion’s sofa as the pianist scores the night’s soundtrack. A move to the terrace brings a garden tranquility, with giant ficus trees sheltering you in teak furniture underneath the vibrant city sky.

Amidst a typically straight Virginia-Highlands nightlife scene, in a turn-of-the-century building, through a random door, and up several flights of stairs lies a private club attracting the attention of some in-the-know gays. The Warren City Club is a members-only restaurant/lounge with a comfy, cozy main room awash in dark reds and browns, lit sparingly with the help of five fireplaces. Skyline views are a step away on the plush garden balcony, giving you full reign of the night at this reclusive nightspot.

You can get it sweet or with a buzz at The Chocolate Bar in Decatur. The sweets come courtesy of the on-site chocolatier and the buzz arrives from the eager yet laid back bar staff. The vibe is about relaxation and celebrating the joys of some of life’s greatest indulgences—sugar and libations—in a warm, comforting environment. Exposed brick and dark wood surround you as the drinks are perfected. A Fenuxe favorite is the Mississippi Sidehand Martini with vanilla vodka, crème de cacao, and butterscotch schnapps. Slide in and stay awhile.
