La Cueva

Mezcal cocktails and a listening bar inside Ponce City Market
La Cueva turns up the sound system as much as the drink list. It's a listening bar built into Ponce City Market's food hall, pouring mezcal cocktails alongside Latin American food, where the atmosphere gets as much attention as what's in your glass.
It took over the spot vacated by Ton Ton and Miso Ko in early 2026, part of the food hall's usual rotation of vendors along the Beltline.

The food was amazing, tables were very small but the service was great. Drinks were strong and tasty. We didn't have reservations and waited about 30mins to be seated on a Friday night. There is seating at the bar but you still have to wait on that.

Great new spot in Atlanta! Loved the vibe and the drinks here. Service was also very good! It gets supers busy so definitely make reservations before going. They had issues with their AC the day we visited so that was the only unfortunate part but outside of that, this place was epic. Very nice speakeasy! Put this on your to-do list for ATL!

SUCH A VIBE! This is a true new hot spot in Atlanta! It’s a little tricky to find like a typical speakeasy, but you can it is on the second floor of Ponce City Market past the barber shop. The door is on the right with a martini glass on it. Make sure to enter your code they gave you with your reservation. As soon as you walk in, you’re transported to a new, sexy world. You make your way down a red LED light filled hallway to get to the bar and dining room. It genuinely does feel like a cave with great food and music. When the band isn’t playing, they play chill, instrumental EDM (which I love). The service is prompt and attentive. I got the RICO Guave drink and branzino as my entree. Both were delicious and perfect. My drink was a good balance of sweet, sour and boozy. My branzino had a good flavor of pesto and perhaps also Parmesan. The plates here are gorgeous but they can be quite light. If you like to be full or eat heavy, then you’ll need to also get an appetizer and/or desserts. The bread was so fluffy and lightly sweet. So heavenly to slowly enjoy. GET IT! Worth the carbs. This is a great spot for a date night, girls outing or solo celebration of life. The food came out super fast - about 15 minutes within ordering. The only drawback was that it was quite warm in there as if the AC was broken.

Nothing like it in the metro Atlanta area. The dishes are unique and the live band is the cherry on top. The dishes are the perfect size and I truly enjoyed everything about the ambiance. It was even fun trying to find it (by the barbershop on the second floor 🫢😉) everything was clean including the restroom and the red hue is great for a photo-op. I can’t wait to go back.

I think the speakeasy and whole “scavenger hunt to find it” is a great idea and the real seller. Vibes inside are great, amazing ambiance!!! They have live DJS and bands every Friday Saturday. Cocktails were good but not strong or multi-layered in flavor. Mocktails were DELICIOUS, highly recommend. Food was alright, wouldn’t recommend making this your primary dinner. More of a lounge space than consumption place. Extremelyyyyy intimate. Check it out!
