Politan Row at Ashford Lane, the epicenter of food hall excellence in northern Metro Atlanta, has announced details surrounding its much-anticipated cocktail bar, Okay Anny’s. As a sequel to Politan’s original project, Jojo’s Beloved, this cocktail bar will transport guests 10 years into the future channeling 1989 as the year of the blockbuster sequels to films including Back to The Future 2, Ghostbusters 2, and Lethal Weapon 2.
The late 80’s and early 90’s is lovingly remembered as a specific era of unforgettable soundtracks, kitschy design motifs, and an absurd amount of up-drinks in never-ending, over-the-top, and un-functional glassware. Okay Anny’s will combine the feel of a classic 80s fern bar vibe with a bright, bombastic 90s color palette — where guests should expect mirror blinds, vapor wave, and lots of colored acrylic. Alongside music playlists from the same era will be a specialized drink menu underscoring the martini craze of the 90s with appropriately reimagined cocktails such as Kamikazes, Colorado Bulldogs, and more Cosmo riffs than a TGI Fridays in 1991.
“It excites me to work with a defined, creative parameter that implores deeper exploration into an era that, despite producing enduringly popular drinks, is looked at as ‘low-brow’ in many cocktail bars,” said Politan Row Director of Operations Benton Bourgeois. “At Okay Anny’s, we get to remember these fun drinks with a deeper profile of craft spirits and present them to a more adventurous consumer.”
“Okay Anny’s is the next evolution of the extraordinary cocktail bars inside each of our locations, which in turn offers our teams the opportunity to be really creative,” said Politan Row CEO Will Donaldson.”They add a fun dimension to each project that we are truly proud of, yet keeps us grounded in our hospitality roots by offering differentiation among our other food hall offerings.”
