Poor Hendrix

A congenial neighborhood restaurant and bar in East Lake, Poor Hendrix is a sought-after spot for laidback vibes paired with stellar cocktails and bar food thatÕs been kicked up a notch yet still affordable. Order perennial favorites on the menu like the spicy peanut cold noodles or baskets of drums and flats glazed in a sticky sesame sauce, as well as meatless Monday meal deals and daily bar fly specials that never disappoint. But this menu is chock-full of good eats no matter the day, including starters like salmon tartar, curried chickpea salad, and house-made ricotta topped with tapenade served with grilled bread and entrees of marinated mussels, Hawaiian fried chicken, and classic spaghetti and meatballs. Pair dinner with a draft beer, one of the cocktails on rotation from the bar, or a glass of wine.ÊCovered patio 21 and up. Well-behaved dogs on leashes welcome. Backyard seating all ages.
