The Southern Gentleman

Perched proudly above Buckhead Village like a bowtie on a blueblood, The Southern Gentleman isn’t just a gastropub—it’s a masterclass in refined Southern swagger. Here, tradition gets a tasteful twist, and fried green tomatoes are served with a side of genteel superiority. It’s the kind of place where the shrimp and grits wear seersucker and the bourbon drinks itself neat out of respect.

Inside, tufted leather banquettes and polished brass fixtures whisper, “My great-granddaddy owned a railroad,” while the menu sings with elevated takes on regional classics—think duck fat cornbread, sweet tea–brined chicken, and deviled eggs so divine, they could end a feud at a garden club brunch.

Whether you’re entertaining out-of-towners, escaping your in-laws, or just in need of a handcrafted cocktail and a Southern-accented ego boost, The Southern Gentleman delivers. It’s Southern hospitality with a capital H and a bar tab to match.
