Overview
Author Caroline Eubanks guides readers on a behind-the-scenes look at the people, places and drinks behind the city. Even when it was still called Terminus, Atlanta was earning a raucous reputation as a hub for hard-drinking railroad workers. The first mayor, a saloon-owner from the appropriately named Free and Rowdy Party, only cemented the town’s party credentials. What followed was over a century of moonshiners, dollar bill-covered dives, exotic dancers, speakeasies and underground taverns, wild parties on both land and water, and, of course, drinks. These spaces, like the all-night Backstreet club, the storied Manuel's Tavern, and futuristic Polaris, became launching pads for political campaigns, musical groups, and drag superstars while also serving as a respite for everyday locals.
