The highly anticipated Moonlight cocktail bar is set to open on Thursday, August 8, atop the new Forth Hotel in the Old Fourth Ward, just steps from the Eastside Beltline.
Perched on the 16th floor, Moonlight combines mid-century modern decor with an Italian design aesthetic, featuring a wraparound patio that provides additional seating and stunning views of Historic Fourth Ward Park and the Atlanta skyline.
The cocktail menu promises unique and creative drinks such as the floral and botanical Flyby, made with pistachio-infused gin and butterfly pea flower syrup, and the Boom Box, a blend of rye whiskey and calvados.
Although the food menu is still being finalized, patrons can look forward to an eclectic array of options including caviar bumps, kampachi (yellowtail) tartare, deviled eggs, a lobster roll, and grilled cheese.
Moonlight will be open to the public from Wednesday through Saturday, starting at 5 p.m.
The 16th-floor location provides breathtaking views of Historic Fourth Ward Park and the Atlanta skyline. Earlier this summer, the Forth Hotel also welcomed Elektra, a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant located beside the pool on the fourth floor. Elektra offers dinner daily from 5 p.m., featuring mezze, kebabs, grilled dishes, and whole fish, as well as breakfast until 10:30 a.m.
On the ground floor, Bar Premio serves a variety of coffee, tea, pastries, salads, and Italian sandwiches throughout the day. In the coming weeks, Il Premio, an Italian steakhouse and piano bar located on the lobby level, will open its doors. Diners can expect A5-graded wagyu, bistecca alla fiorentina, fresh pasta dishes, and an extensive Italian wine list.
