The Concept:

Located at 1080 Peachtree Street NE, Suite 1, Atlanta GA 30309, Blackjack Bar Tapas is the latest concept from the team behind 26 Thai. This bold new venture combines the vibrant flavors of Asian-inspired street food with a carefully curated beverage program that reimagines classic cocktails through the lens of East and Southeast Asia.

The food menu offers an exciting mix of small plates and shareable dishes, from spicy Thai shrimp salad to Tom Yum Squid Ink Soup, and indulgent options like crab fried rice and Tom Yum Noodle hot pot. Each dish is packed with bold spices, fresh ingredients, and creative textures, making them the perfect pairing for a great drink.

On the cocktail side, beverage director Sean Gleason has crafted a lineup that’s as inventive as it is approachable. Expect familiar favorites with a twist—like a margarita featuring purple yam cordial and gochugaru chili, or a gin and tonic elevated with lemongrass and shiso, served from a highball machine for a refreshing kick.

At Blackjack Bar Tapas, we’re serving up a winning hand of Asian fusion and craft cocktails, creating a fun and flavorful spot to eat, drink, and enjoy Midtown Atlanta.
