When the Victory Brands team announced it was shutting down Paper Plane at the end of summer, Atlanta's boozehounds were devastated. The Decatur cocktail bar, with all of its midcentury modern flare, had become an essential point on the local drinking map. Well, there's good news. The SOS Tiki Bar is here in Paper Plane's place, and while the concept is different, the execution from Victory is just as good.

Here now is a look at The SOS in action during opening week.
