Prohibition, a cigar bar located in the East Andrews District,
specializes in craft cocktails and draws a more mature crowd.
Buckhead bars continue as
the heart of Saturday night
BY CHUCK STANLEY
Sunday morning is less than an hour
old and on Cains Hill Place, the tiny
street that links Irby Avenue and East
Andrews Drive a block west of Roswell
Road, the revelry of Saturday night is far
from over.
Silver-and-blue Atlanta Lenox taxi
cabs clog the street while crowds of
mostly millennial-aged men and women
scuffle and straggle down the sidewalk.
The pace of the rain is picking up and it
seems that everyone is looking to duck
into the nearest available open door.
Buckhead resident Ted Vir is meet

and Groove once stood signified the end
of a tumultuous era that saw Buckhead
Village transition from an iconic center
of Atlanta’s nightlife scene to a magnet
for controversy and high-profile crime.
Almost six years later, construction
on the project is far from complete,
Buckhead Village has not become Ro
deo Drive East, and young people still
crowd the streets on Friday and Saturday
nights into the early hours of the morn

Stephen de Haan, president of An

things have indeed changed since the
wild days of the late 1990s and early
2000s. “Across the street was the center
