G's Midtown, Atlanta

Even though they had found success in Midtown with Gilbert's Cafe & Bar, the Yeremyan brothers are not one to get set in their ways. At the end of 2013 they relaunched their formerly Mediterranean spot as G's Midtown, a gastropub devoted to new American cuisine. The menu is comfort food with a gourmet twist—there's pork ribs glazed in plum-bourbon sauce, crostini with forest mushrooms and herb butter, and mac and cheese served next to sirloin steak. Inventive uses of ingredients is also apparent on the drink list, which includes cocktails such as a spiced pear cosmo, milkshakes, and a superfruit peach tea. Flat-screen TVs reflect off corrugated-steel walls, and vintage tin signs hang upon exposed brick. On one side of the dining room, a garage door opens up to the street, which is great for letting breezes in but a little confusing to the cars driving by.
