East Atlanta

Beneath the 2015 incarnation of this bohemian neighborhood lies a storied past. What is now Flat Shoals Avenue—home to craft-beer bars, intimate music venues, and inventive restaurants—used to be the Sandtown Trail, a Creek Indian trading route. And where now Craftsman bungalows dot the residential streets, cannons and rifles once roared among the old-growth oaks during the Battle of Atlanta. Situated three miles east of downtown, East Atlanta melds the historic and the contemporary with a dose of independent-minded swagger, appealing equally to the weekend party crowd, 30-something professionals, families with kids, and long-time residents who still tend their gardens and water their lawns, watching the ebbs and flows of the diverse and dynamic neighborhood they all call home.

Situated along the axis of Glenwood and Flat Shoals, East Atlanta Village provides convenient creature comforts for its immediate neighbors and draws in crowds from across metro Atlanta on nights and weekends. Anchored by institutions like the EARL (East Atlanta Restaurant & Lounge), Mary’s (named the best gay bar in the country several years ago), and Joe’s (no Starbucks in this village), and featuring an eclectic array of independent shops, eateries, and services (you can get your eyebrows threaded, your feet massaged, and a custom t-shirt made all on the same block, then run across the street for a banh mi), EAV is perfect for an afternoon stroll or the place to make a whole night of it. Interesting artwork—the metallic dragon and a huge mural of a fox and crocodile doing battle being our favorites—adds character and embodies the creative spirit of the neighborhood.
