Set in a beautifully restored 1891 train depot in Decatur, Kimball House is one of the finest cocktail bars in the Southeast, with a legendary absinthe program, an extraordinary oyster bar, and bartenders who are genuine craftspeople. The atmosphere is transportive — all dark wood, low light, and the hum of a room full of people having a very good time. It's a destination worth the short trip outside the city proper.
