Midtown Beach Dining & Social

FOMO no mo, frens. Midtown Beach is the photogenic space that delivers the social brag your timeline’s been missing. There’s poolside dining (around a central look-but-don't-touch pool), expensive private cabana rentals, gold silverware that looks like it came from an Etsy store, and enough fake greenery to retire Atlanta’s already-overused grass wall suppliers. Open every summer through fall and housed in the outdoor portion of what was once club Opera, the Midtown restaurant jumps from clubby Miami vibes on weekends to a quiet country club during the week. The drinks are good, the globally inspired entrees are skippable, but light bites like poke tacos and a fried jalapeño-garnished peach salad will satisfy the small part of you that’s actually here for substance.
