'Havana Nights' at the Regent Cocktail Club

Mojitos, live Cuban music, rooftop patio. You don’t have to travel to Havana to get all this. Instead, head to the Regent Cocktail Club in Buckhead.

Every first Thursday of the month, Buckhead’s best rooftop bar hosts Havana Nights 7-10 p.m. The Regent’s expert mixologists can make you a perfect mojito (or caipirinha or rum punch) for $10, and a live band plays until well after the sun sets on the Atlanta skyline. Dancing is not required, but certainly encouraged.

The bar menu is, of course, available all night long. If you get hungry, order the soft pretzel—it is gigantic and tasty and its presentation is fantastic. The wagyu sliders are also highly recommended. And tonight, there will be boozy mojito popsicles, made with specialty Brugal 1888 Gran Reserva rum!
