Moonlight, the new bar in FORTH overlooking the Atlanta skyline in Old Fourth Ward, is now open.

Why it matters: The latest addition to the city's rooftop bar scene is remarkable for its style just as much as the view.

Zoom in: Located on the 16th floor of the hotel and private club, Moonlight mixes the feel of a 1970s cocktail bar and sharp design to create an intimate low-key setting.

Vibes: Mellow and sophisticated with "the decadence of Italian mid-century modernism," according to New City Properties, which developed FORTH and the new Mailchimp headquarters nearby.

There's a fireplace and a wraparound outdoor seating area overlooking Historic Fourth Ward Park as well.

What to eat: The menu focuses on "seafood-forward bites" and small plates like deviled eggs, tuna cannoli, lobster rolls and caviar service.

Go: Moonlight is open from 5pm-midnight Wednesday through Saturday.

Moonlight is open to the public. Reservations will be available via Resy.
