UPDATE (March 27, 2018): Amer Inman Quarter Has Sold, Will Reopen As Similar Concept Under New Name
Atlanta’s hot, new and stylish Inman Quarter development will have another tenant opening this week.
AMER Cocktail Bar from partners Brian Lewis and the late David Durnell of Atlanta’s BOCADO restaurant will open March 31, according to a press release Wednesday.
The establishment is designed to be a spot where Atlantans may begin or end their evenings.
Since “AMER” translates to “bitter” in French, the bar’s drink list will have a focus on bitters and Italian Amari. The opening drink menu will consist of 16 cocktails, divided into four sections: Shaken, Built, Sodas, and Stirred.
Guests may also expect a selection of beers and wines, aperitifs, digestifs, and “playful surprises.”
Shanna Mayo – formerly of Victory Sandwich Bar (torn down to make way for the development in which the concept will reside), The SOS Tiki Bar, and Leon’s Full Service—will serve as Partner GM and Bar Manager.
Chef Adam Waller of BOCADO is behind AMER’s menu of savory small plates and bar snacks. These will include housemade chips with caramelized onion dip and crispy garlic, an egg sandwich with soft poached egg, confit pork belly, butter lettuce wraps with shrimp gribiche, and more.
The bar’s aesthetic references ‘70s-era Italian film and retro Amari labels. The “punchy and exaggerated” interior’s color palette will include tones of bright yellow, deep indigo, bronze, and marble and feature mid-century furniture for a “cinematic experience.”
The bar will be open Tuesday through Thursday from 5pm to 1am, Friday from 5pm to 2am, and Saturday from 3pm to 2am (closed Sunday and Monday).
