Strangers in Paradise Brings Beachy Libations to Lee + White

A new cocktail bar called Strangers in Paradise is now open at Lee + White.

The bar comes from Electric Hospitality , the team behind Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall , Muchacho , Ranger Station and The Electric Room .

Located in the Lee + White mixed-use development, Strangers in Paradise captures the ambiance of a late 80s/early 90s beachside resort.

“With the limited water views in Atlanta, we wanted to create a place for people to enjoy a resort-like and relaxed atmosphere along Atlanta’s own ‘waterfront,’ the BeltLine,” Electric Hospitality founder and CEO Michael Lennox said. “With bright, colorful cocktails and an easygoing vibe, we see Strangers in Paradise as offering some escapism for adults. There’s a level of finesse, quality and care in every cocktail. You’ll find faithful reinterpretations of classic 80s and 90s ‘boat drinks,’ but with better ingredients and quality spirits.”

The bar serves modern takes on classic resort libations, with an emphasis on fresh, fruit-forward cocktails. The menu also includes frozen offerings and flavorful shooters and mocktails, as well as a selection of beer and wine.

“The cocktail selection at Strangers in Paradise aims to ignite the nostalgia of beachfront bars from decades past – fruity and playful, yet expertly crafted,” says Electric Hospitality’s VP of Operations Brad Bernardo . “These refreshing libations aim to whisk guests away to their own version of paradise, whether that’s on the bow of a catamaran or lounging in a hammock between two palm trees.”

Strangers in Paradise is located in the food hall of the Lee + White mixed-use development, the only cocktail bar on property. It can comfortably seat 28 at the bar, with 45 seats in total.

Strangers in Paradise is open from 4 to 10 p.m. Sunday to Thursday, and from 12 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
