Situated just steps from the Beltline at Lee + White — one of Atlanta’s most exciting mixed-use destinations — Strangers in Paradise is a decadent cocktail den that exudes the aura of a 1980s or early ’90s beachside resort with eclectic decor, tropical vibes and craft libations.
With interiors from Electric Hospitality, an award-winning studio deeply rooted in experiential design, Strangers in Paradise tells a distinct story while conjuring an essence of the past through intentional nostalgic nods to the beloved kitschy haunts that dot Florida’s white-sanded, blue-watered coastline.
Whether sipping on a classic Miami Vice, a continental negroni, a ‘Cabana Sunset’ or chowing down on a cheeseburger, an unparalleled experience awaits all at Strangers in Paradise; owner and founder Michael Lennox having spent months perfecting and curating knicks and knacks that lend this place a paradise state of mind.
For fans of Crockett and Tubbs, yacht rock or Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, one can expect guilty pleasures in the shape of vintage postcards, thrifted tropical décor, and a collection of vintage souvenir cups lining the walls; all alongside design elements that reflect that carefree energy associated with beachside lounging.
Additional details include a U-shaped bar under a large palm leaf canopy, flanked by hurricane shutters and tropical plants which incorporates woven rattan elements to further echo a laid-back vibe.
An authentic tiki paradise with oodles of nostalgic allure, Strangers In Paradise whisks guests to far away islands where strong cocktails are served in elaborate ceramic mugs, without ever leaving Atlanta. Winning!
