Description

In direct competition with the Scarlet Mansion’s penchant for the elegant, Cosmopolitan has directed it’s intentions vehemently into advertising for the young, modern chic members of Atlanta. If one goes to the Cosmopolitan, one can expect a mash of fashion designers, consultants, models, would-be actors and singers on any given night.

The place itself is nestled in an unassuming looking corner spot that almost looks designed like a one floor house. Red-covered lamps adorn the brick sidewalks that lead up to the place (as well as tacky triangle signs that try to out-do each other for “safe parking for Cosmopolitan”) lending a reddish-orange hue to the sidewalks and street during the nighttime hours.

While there’s no enforced dress code, the fact that the Cosmopolitan has lured in the ultra trendy members of Atlanta, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone ever sporting a tank-top and jean shorts around. The inside is polished and kept constantly updated, endearing the place itself to those who frequent it often.

The deck outside, which is called the “Tropical Deck” is filled with lush plants, covered and kept at a steady temperature by unassuming heaters for when the weather is cold and occasionally misters (to get that “Tropical Misty Breeze” feel) that go off as well.

Regardless of all the signs that advertise “safety”, the area is still plagued by constant crime, and walking too far off the beaten path has lead many a tourist and native alike into compromising, and dangerous, situations...
