Anansi Cocktail Lounge

"Cozy small space with great ambiance, chill vibe and good location. I don't remember the music which is not a good thing to me-- that is important to me, even at low volume because it sets the tone. Our server, can't remember her name, was friendly. My biggest issue was the food, there is none! So don't go there hungry or even peckish. It's strictly a cocktail bar with snacks like truffle popcorn and chips I think. I ordered the popcorn but it never showed up; since I wasn't charged for it, I let it go. Could be a good end-the-night, after-a-concert or show spot. Think of it like Aprés Diem but much much smaller, and no menu, but a few comfy seats and a vibe"

"This is a dope spot nestled right in Decatur in the Avondale area. The drinks are great, service is great, and the decor is perfect to set the mood. FYI, they only have pretzels, popcorn, and some Chios as a snack food offering. This is definitely a great place to bring someone for a cocktail date, or for the start of a date night. The music also is a great selection, as it's loud enough, but still allows you to hear the person you're having conversation with without having to yell. Very much nice chill vibes. Parking is right on the side, but make sure you don't park in 15-minute or 60-minute retail parking."

"Love love loveee this lounge! As someone who lives in Decatur, it’s nice to have somewhere to catch a vibe without having to drive into the city. The dim lighting and sultry tunes gives it a grown & sexy feel. I’d recommend for a GNO, date night, or even if you’re like me and don’t mind going out by yourself for some “me time” you’ll definitely have a great experience. Excellent staff, service, & more importantly EXCELLENT COCKTAILS! (My personal favorite is the Paloma, followed by the Bees Knees) Did I mention black owned?! I’m going to always support!"

"This place is such a gem! The bartender/owner was lovely. While they are new and just opened, he has over 16 years of experience crafting luxury cocktails and curating a divine atmosphere. The music is such a vibe. Nice and mellow and it’s not to loud si you’re able to hear the person you came with. If you’re looking for a chill vibe this is it!!!"

"Very sexy ambiance. Excellent option for a cocktail date. The interior decor was well curated, matching the vibe you would look to expect. The mellow tunes of what seems to be a meticulous playlist was nothing short of complementary. Keep in mind that this is a cocktail lounge so be sure to fine dine prior to coming here to enjoy one of the specialty concoctions. Think of speak easy minus the password and hidden door."
