The Albert is a Bar: The Albert is a bar, but it’s definitely not your average watering hole. Hidden off N. Highland, away from the main drag, The Albert’s atmosphere is quite distinct from the surrounding venues. I’ve heard rumors that the restaurant was named after the owners child, but
Roxx Tavern = Hidden Gem: So you’ve probably never heard of Roxx Tavern, and neither had I until my uncle invited me for lunch there the other week. My uncle is an Atlanta native, whose office is within five minutes of Roxx Tavern, which makes this one of his “go
