As temperatures drop, paradise remains within reach for those exploring Atlanta’s Westside.

Strangers in Paradise, the ‘80s resort-inspired cocktail bar from the team at Electric Hospitality, offers an escape where the seasons don’t matter—just good drinks, great company, and an atmosphere that feels like a permanent vacation.

Surrounded by lush greenery, vintage postcards from dreamy destinations, and nostalgic resort trinkets, Strangers in Paradise invites guests into a world of mystery and adventure. Whether you’re sipping on a tropical-inspired cocktail or soaking in the effortlessly cool vibes, it’s a place where stories are shared, and winter woes melt away.

We chatted with owner Michael Lennox to dive into his journey in the hospitality industry, the inspiration behind Strangers in Paradise, and what makes this cocktail destination a must-visit.

Talk to us about your background in the industry.

I worked as a server and a busboy for a few months in college but aside from that, my primary background is starting and opening Ladybird on the BeltLine in Atlanta in 2014. I was essentially the General Manager there for the first couple of years and then we started to grow quite a bit and I opened a few more restaurants – Muchacho and Golden Eagle – in 2017. Following that, I then formed Electric Hospitality, which is our overall management group and hospitality company, and have opened several other concepts since then, including Strangers in Paradise in 2024.

Talk to us about Strangers in Paradise.

Strangers in Paradise is a really fun, late 80’s/early 90’s Florida-beach-inspired cocktail bar. We really went in depth on being intentionally kitschy with the concept, the look, and the feel. We tried to make it so that you could suspend your disbelief, and feel like you’ve been transported to the beach when you come to Strangers in Paradise, even though we’re located in Atlanta, GA and we’re inside of a food hall on the southwest part of the BeltLine trail.

What kind of experience can guests expect while visiting?

Strangers in Paradise is really intended to be a pure, fun experience in an “over the top” way. Everything inside of the bar is bright, loud, and tropical, and the staff is super friendly and warm. We try to have a good, high-positive energy at all times and the drinks sort of share that spirit in a way. They’re all bright and colorful and we have fun glassware, big garnishes, and fun surprises during service that guests can engage with.

One example is the Cheeseburger in Paradise that is based off of the ubiquitous Jimmy Buffett song. If someone orders it off the menu, you’ll get a large punch bowl that is shaped like a cheeseburger, and it’s meant for anywhere from 2-4 guests. It’s loaded to the hilt with a nice rotating tropical punch and then our staff will put Jimmy’s song on and come out from behind the bar with complimentary plastic retro sunglasses, Hawaiian leis, and they’ll sing the song and make a whole spectacle out of it!

They’ll then take polaroid pictures to commemorate the experience. We give polaroids to the guests that were there and we also hang them up around the space, so that we’ve got a growing wall of polaroids of folks who have enjoyed the full Cheeseburger in Paradise experience. That’s just one example but there’s a lot of fun to be had when you come hang out at the bar at Strangers.

What is the cocktail program like?

The concept is a true cocktail bar. We don’t serve food; it’s primarily high-quality, fun cocktails inspired by that retro Florida-beach feeling that I mentioned earlier.

What inspired the menu?

We tried to base our menu on classic resort drinks and take it in a more crafted, contemporary direction by leaning into better sourced spirits, creative garnishes, and fresh juices…so on and so forth.

Which cocktail is your favorite and why?

I’d say my favorite cocktail at the moment at Strangers in Paradise is The Shark Bite. It kind of captures everything fun and playful that we’re trying to do with the concept.

The cocktail itself has Tequila, Curaçao, a Rhubarb Ginger Syrup that’s house-made, a dash of Lemon Juice to balance it all out, and it comes in this really fun open-mouth Great White Shark mug that we apply a little bit of grenadine to, to make it seem like the shark just took a bite out of something, and is in the middle of its feast. It’s almost impossible to order that drink and not have a good time and again, it really is the embodiment of everything we’re trying to get across at Strangers in Paradise.

Our Chilled 100 Bartenders embrace the art of crafting cocktails by drawing inspiration from local surroundings, infusing regional flavors, and honoring hometown traditions.

With Templeton Whiskey as their base, our Chilled 100 Bartenders create cocktails that tell a story that reflects the essence of a home turf.

I wanted to be creative yet still use ingredients available at my bar every day.  I really like how grapefruit and honey complement the profile of Templeton Straight Rye Whiskey and wanted the rosemary to add an unexpected savory component.  The rim is optional, but that touch of sweet and salty is a fun addition, also.
Enjoy!

While green beer and Irish stouts are St. Patrick’s Day staples, why not mix things up with a tropical twist?

Enter the Jameson Mai Tai, a bold yet balanced cocktail that blends the smooth, triple-distilled taste of Jameson Irish Whiskey with the bright citrus of lime and dry curaçao, finished with the nutty sweetness of almond orgeat. The result is a refreshing, whiskey-forward take on the beloved tiki classic.

Lavender in cocktails? Now that’s what we call flower power!

This fragrant bloom has been keeping things fresh behind the bar, adding a pop of botanical flair to drinks that feel both timeless and totally on-trend.

With its dreamy, floral aroma, lavender plays well with everything, from gin and vodka to tequila and whiskey. It’s like that effortlessly cool friend who gets along with everyone.

Bartenders love using lavender in all kinds of ways—think lavender syrups, infused spirits, aromatic mists, and even as a pretty purple garnish. It shines in classics like a Lavender Collins or a Lavender Gimlet but also adds a surprising twist to bold creations like a Lavender Margarita or a floral take on an Old Fashioned.

The enduring appeal of lavender lies in its ability to feel both nostalgic and novel. While its floral essence can evoke a sense of timeless charm, modern bartenders are constantly finding new ways to incorporate it—often by balancing its floral notes with bright citrus, fresh herbs, or a touch of sweetness.

The Flavor Feed: Lavender

The delicate, floral flavor of lavender adds a unique and balanced sweetness to beverages and desserts, as well as beautiful purple hue. Lavender is best suited for coffees, cocktails, lemonades, sodas and more, and brings the essence of the spring season to your glass.

Did you know?

There are over 45 different species of lavender, each with a slightly different aroma and flavor! English lavender is often the go-to for culinary uses, including cocktails. Lavender essential oil has many potential benefits for sleep, anxiety, and depression, infections, hair loss, and more.

Beverage Director of OAK at Fourteenth, Collin Griffith, had sights set on pursuing an environmental-related career early on in life.

As he studied his first ambition in college, he worked side gigs in the food and beverage industry to sustain himself financially. The more time he spent in the restaurant business, it became increasingly clear that he was meant to be a part of it in the long run. In particular, the beverage-making side of the spectrum fascinated him.

“There is a sort of folklore and storytelling that comes along with the trade. I started to cut my chops behind the bar at the Boulder Theater where I worked off and on for 10 years. I always seek improvement and education so after doing high volume for some time, I decided to pursue fine dining cocktail bartending because of the craft,” added Griffith.

From that point on, Collin built his skillset and experience at several notable establishments, each of which taught him something new.

“I started working for Bryan Dayton in 2015 at Denver’s Acorn and really started to dig into the craft cocktail side of things. It gave me a profound appreciation of attention to detail and pride in craft. I worked my way through that program over four years. At this point, I decided to get some new experience and worked at Beast and Bottle as the lead bartender. From there, I left to open a neighborhood concept called Northside Eatery + Market. This was my first time having full autonomy over the beverage program from systems, buying, and management.”

All the expertise developed through Collin’s dedication to the craft brought him to the position he proudly holds today. In March of 2023, Half Eaten Cookie Hospitality named him Beverage Director of OAK at Fourteenth.

OAK offers the best of American cuisine: wood-fired, seasonal, American food, located in the heart of Boulder.

“OAK at Fourteenth is one of the reasons I fell in love with hospitality to begin with. It’s such a fun program that has been led by some of the best in the business over the years. Because of the new American cuisine, it allows for a very diverse cocktail program that breeds creativity. The bar program is perfectly complemented by a diverse and great wine list,” said Collin.

The beverage program at OAK is all over the map, in the best way. They draw on many influences from emerging trends still rooted in classic cocktail preparation and have a ton of fun creating.

One of the fan favorites of the drink menu is “The Across the Atlantic,” a drink developed by Bryan Dayton that pays homage to the sources of its ingredients. They start with an American Rye whiskey and then travel “across the Atlantic” to France with the addition of Lillet Rouge and D.O.M. Benedictine, then add a touch of honey and a couple dashes of Oak Aromatic bitters from Cocktail Punk.

Griffith accredits a great deal of OAK’s beverage program success to his solid team. “It’s all about a good team. The program is really all about a group of people working with the same goal in mind. It’s about consistency and building systems that make things run smoothly. We look to create cocktails that tell a story, elicit feelings, and sensations of nostalgia.”
