Latin-themed lounge delivers great food, cool drinks, hot music and warm service
By A. Scott Walton
There is a rose at Spanish Harlem.
A rose in semi-sheer black leggings, neon sneakers and a skin-tight red t-shirt at Spanish Harlem.
She waits tables. She pours drinks and takes reservations. She cheerfully and meticulously cleans the picture windows that look across the street toward the Sweet Auburn Curb Market.
She politely laughs off questions about why so many ambulances and fire trucks pass by Spanish Harlem, in downtown Atlanta, with their sirens blaring.
“Well, we are right around the corner from Grady Hospital,” the rose shrugs. “It’s just EMS doing their job.”
The rose’s name is “Victoria”. And her presence is emblematic of all that’s good about Spanish Harlem, one of our favorite new spots to dine, drink and relax.
By all indications, she’s just happy to be there.
So were we.
After an initial late-night visit for spicey food and sparkling adult beverages, the Be My Guest crew (check out co-host, Hadi!) recently returned to Spanish Harlem to gain more incite from owner Carlos Ramirez about what attracts patrons to the spot tucked away so unassumingly that one needs a reliable GPS to find it.
Watch the video for a glimpse at what Spanish Harlem is all about.
After all: you must savor any rose; wherever it happens to sprout. Agreed?
