At Bourbon & Banter, we’re seriously committed to the #DrinkCurious lifestyle–especially when traveling.

As a seasoned travelers, we are well-acquainted with the pleasures of the airport lounge. It offers a respite from the masses, a dedicated bathroom, a smattering of (usually mediocre) snacks, and a bevy of alcoholic drinks to enjoy between gates. Though the menus are usually similar, the experience isn’t always the same. So we decided to do the hard work for you and put the lounge bartenders at the Atlanta airport to the test.

As cocktail enthusiasts, the Old Fashioned is the perfect litmus test to see if a bar knows their stuff. So we went to every lounge the Atlanta airport had to offer: Delta Sky Club, Centurion Lounge, and The Club. (No we did not go to the Admirals Club as I am a stalwart Delta loyalist.) We rated the lounges on bourbon selection, cocktails, and vibes.

So come join us as we, well, drink our way through the busiest airport in the world and determine whose bourbon bar game reigned supreme.
