There’s a brand new cocktail bar in Summerhill, one of Atlanta’s most fun dining destinations. After a lengthy renovation that included an arduous process to waterproof the basement, Redacted is finally open! It’s open until midnight Tuesdays through Saturdays. They don’t offer food and the cocktails are on the pricier side, but it’s the perfect start or end to your night out in Summerhill.
