Whether we are returning to an old favorite or visiting a new restaurant in a town we’ve never explored, you can find our editors at the bar. It’s our secret weapon for finding out about local gems and making new friends when we’re researching on the road; at home, it’s where we meet up with familiar faces. When we found out the winners in this new category to our South’s Best reader survey, we were excited to see many a bar where we’ve pulled up a stool to a refreshing cocktail, a much-needed late night snack, or a friendly conversation. From beloved Birmingham bistro Chez Fonfon to newer spots like Saint Leo in Oxford, Mississippi, these are your favorite restaurant bars.
