In-House Horoscope Readings, Giveaways and Tasty Treats Will Accompany Launch of 12 Zodiac-Inspired Cocktails

It is written in the stars: Your 3^rd Spot is the place to be Wednesday, Oct. 4 7:30pm. Atlanta’s best social dining experience—and one of the nation’s top bars—has launched a new menu of 12 zodiac-inspired cocktails aligned to the tastes of each sign. To celebrate, it will host a party with zodiac-themed giveaways and treats. Guests can make connections with compatible signs over arcade, board and yard games and get a tailored horoscope reading from an in-house astrologist.

Some highlights of the cocktail menu include:

ATLemon Drop: If your birthday falls on the day of the party, you might want to order the Libra-inspired ATLemon Drop, a refreshing and balanced blend of Reposado tequila, limoncello and lemon juice.
Greenhouse Mule: Inspired by the outgoing Scorpio, the intense flavors of ginger beer and candied ginger are paired with elderflower liqueur and fresh lime juice.
Dr’ink: The duality of the Gemini personality is the concept of this black-and-white cocktail made with rum, mezcal and cinnamon-charcoal agave and served with a Y3S-themed temporary tattoo.
Centenni’Ol Fashioned: An opinionated Aquarius will gravitate to this Georgia-inspired twist on the old fashioned made with house-infused peach bourbon, aromatic bitters and orange zest.
ecause Your 3^rd Spot is a social experience, four shareable drinks have been developed to encompass the four elements of the zodiac signs: earth, fire, water and air. These drinks are presented creatively and camera-ready for a memorable TikTok or Instagram post. Some highlights include:
Love Bird Cage (Air): Love is in the air with hibiscus-infused tequila, passion fruit liqueur, lime juice, cranberry juice and soda water served in beautiful “love bird” glasses that are brought to the guest in a birdcage.
Cocktail Tr33 (Earth): For the guest who wants to try everything, the Cocktail Tr33 features a sampling of five best-selling cocktails: the Westside margarita, Peachtree tea, ATLemon Drop, mai tai and sangria.

The full cocktail menu can be found here along with a link to each sign’s corresponding daily horoscope. For more information, please visit your3rdspot.com.

Dirt was everywhere, a frame of a bar extended down the far wall, a bunch of lumber was piled in the middle of the space, the ceiling wasn’t painted, and the heat inside was sweltering. This was our first look at Your 3^rd spot over the summer before their big Fall grand opening where the difference was day and night between then and now. Now, a large wood door opens into a sprawling game-scape where you’re greeted with a corn hole lawn and right behind it is a sweeping bar and above a terrace with a DJ space, curling court, and a great place to people watch. On top of all of this is a whole bowling alley, VIP areas, a gaming area for games like Skee-Ball and arcade games, large outdoor patio with lawn games, and EVEN a darts area. It’s a game lovers paradise. But just when you thought Your 3rd Spot was all about the gaming experience, they WOW with fantastic food and spectacular cocktail menu to elevate the overall experience! Y3S!

Nothing helps our Skee-Ball game like a few cocktails. Your 3^rd Spot has a terrific selection of cocktails like the tiki-inspired Jungle Smoke, smoky Lord Byron Blackberry Smoked Old Fashioned, and the bright Mai Tai. Cool it all down with the Jungle Smoke cocktail that is sweet and tangy from the pineapple, then a slight smoke flavor from the mezcal, and floral notes from the Demerara syrup. Pro tip: make sure to stir up the drink! If you love it fruity, you’ll love the Mai tai, served in an epic tiki glass. This DRAFT cocktail is one part passion fruit, orange, and sweet, and then one part boozy. Sippable and fun. But if you’re looking for something a little boozier, you’re in for a treat from the Lord Byron Blackberry Smoked Old Fashioned. It’s boozy with hints of berry and cinnamon up front with a slight smoke on the end. Plus, can’t decide on what you want? You can get all the draft cocktails in a flight! It comes out in a tower of glass and greenery. It’s pretty epic.

After a vigorous motorcycle drive around the streets of Miami, a round of delectable shared plates hit the spot. Starting with two of our favorites, the first being the Slow Smoked Short Ribs are tender and meaty with a delicate smoke on the end. Then top with tangy, crispy onions and a tangy and sweet BBQ sauce that rounds out the savory meat. OR you can just dive into the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice plate. The savory of the tuna, spiciness of the jalapeño, the richness of the soy that balances the slight smoked and rounded out with creamy mayo. It’s a well-rounded bite!

Moving on to the M3eatballs (yes, with a 3), they were a tender mix of pork, veal, and beef paired with a tangy marinara and a creamy, dreamy, polenta underneath. A wonderful piece of charred, buttery, crispy homemade focaccia is on the side. One of the most unique bites is the amazing Potato Torpedoes that are a bed of crispy skin potatoes wedges. On top is the creamy and rich devilled egg mousse and salty caviar/fish roe! It’s salty, crispy, crunchy, rich, creamy, and then there is that inevitable pop of the roe.

The next shared plate was another winner, the Wagyu Beef Tartare! The beef tartare itself is tender and savory meat mixed with creamy mayo, a hint of tangy onion, and then surrounded by crunchy, tart pickled carrots. On top mustard seeds are the perfect crunchy and flavorful addition to the bite. Don’t forget to dip away with the spicy, puffed sushi rice for the best bite.

For our final bite of our epic food journey was the Seared Peking Duck Breast. It is tender and flavorful duck with a sweet and savory sherry gastrique, tangy blood orange, crunchy nuts, all a top creamy leeks. It has so many great flavors so make sure to get everything in one big bite.

After our meal, we enjoyed unlimited games where I dominated Skee-Ball with a score of 300(!) on one round and John found his favorite driving game and drove around multiple cities on a motorcycle.
