The Bellhop Bar at Loews Atlanta hotel swings open during happy hour for bourbon old fashioneds and peach martinis

First, the Loews in Midtown gave Atlantans a taste of “the golden age of cocktails” with their pop-up cocktail bar Traveller Bar inside a reconstructed elevator car. That bar was retired from its lobby residence in January to make way for the hotel brand’s latest flight of fancy, The Bellhop Bar, fashioned out of a large steamer trunk. It’s open daily from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. before it literally closes up shop for the night.

A bell will toll each evening at 5 p.m. to announce the bar is open for business.

In addition to very limited hours, The Bellhop Bar is also offering just two pre-batched cocktails as well as a red and sparkling wine on its abbreviated drinks menu. Cocktails include a bourbon old fashioned named Ponce City using Atlanta’s own 18.21 bitters and a riff on a vodka martini called Georgia on My Mind consisting of peach simple syrup and lime juice.
