Atlanta Monkeys: where should we hold a WSO meetup?

Following in the tradition of every other major city It'd be great to get a WSO meetup planned in Atlanta soon. I have a social chair that would like to be the host, he just wants some help figuring out a location. What are some ideas for where to hold a meetup/happy hour? (we're thinking to hold in sometime in early December)

Criteria:
Easy access for those coming from financial district
Not too crowded / loud around 7-9PM on Wednesday or Thur night
Has a good meeting area / table / bar area that can accommodate 5-10 people
+ if they have a happy hour going on, good drinks, good service
+ if it is an all-ages place so some college students can attend as well

I highly suggest the meetup be held at The Ivy. It is located at Roswell and Piedmont and is about ten minutes in Atlanta traffic from the financial district. It also has the best crowd in my opinion out of any of the buckhead bars for the younger group of WSO. I don't know what their policy is regarding underage people, but maybe if we contact them in advance, they will stamp people's wrists for those who are underage.

 

Not the ivy, it's just full of wanna be kids fresh out of college.

My vote is for either the Palm in Westin, Ritz on Lenox, Bistro Nikko, or Tavern. Sandy Springs is too far out, and midtown is just packed after work.

Play the long game - give back, help out, mentor - just don't ever forget where you came from. #Bootstrapped
