Saddle Up, Atlanta: The Pink Piggy Saloon Is Serving Sass and Shots

There’s a new saloon in town, and no, you didn’t take a wrong turn on the BeltLine and end up in Nashville.

The Blind Pig Parlour Bar—the Buckhead hideaway that’s basically become the city’s go-to for immersive theme makeovers—is back at it. This time, they’ve wrangled some serious rhinestone energy for their summer pop-up: The Pink Piggy Saloon. Think cowgirl glam meets honky tonk fever dream. It’s sparkly. It’s smoky. It’s already open. And yes, you will find yourself saying “yeehaw” after your second drink.

There’s fringe, there’s neon, there’s a bar lined with folks who look like they might two-step but also definitely use the word “aesthetic” unironically.

The food’s got Southern roots but isn’t trying too hard. If you’re into snacking while plotting your escape from corporate life, start with the birria bites. They’re crispy little tacos dripping with short rib and queso, with a side of chile-spiced broth for dipping—kind of like the cowboy version of French dip.

Other standouts:

• Cowboy Caviar that actually tastes like something you’d want to eat outside of a potluck
• Baja Fish Tacos with just enough heat to make you feel alive
• BBQ Sliders with onion rings stacked like they’re showing off
• And a s’mores parfait to die for

But let’s be honest. You’re here for the drinks.

The Georgia Peach Mule is dangerously drinkable (choose vodka or tequila, but go tequila if you’re feeling wild). The Café Cerrito might ruin regular espresso martinis for you—Bustelo, Licor 43, and this creamy foam situation that could probably get its own fan club. And the Prickly Pear Old Fashioned? Sweet, strong, slightly mysterious.

Doors swing open Wednesday through Sunday at 5 p.m. It gets busy fast, so grab a res on OpenTable unless you enjoy fighting Buckhead parking while slightly hangry. Walk-ins are fine too, but expect a wait if you roll in with a group of six in matching pink cowboy hats (which will happen—trust).

Location-wise, it’s tucked over at 128 East Andrews Drive. It’s walkable from a few other bars if you’re turning it into a night out, and there’s some street parking, but Uber’s probably the safer bet if you’re planning on testing the full cocktail list.

If you’ve been waiting for a reason to wear fringe in public, this is it.
