They call it "world famous," which I suppose is because ::checks notes:: it was the first rooftop bar to open in modern-day Atlanta. Thank goodness it's not the last.
The atmosphere is that of a last-minute wedding reception venue after the first venue fell through. The drink options are limited, served in plastic cups, and sloppily prepared. The food is the same, served on disposable plateware remarkably reminiscent of what you'd find at Costco. The outdoor space is a balcony with seating for about 10, more if you want to squish up next to your new neighbor. More people can fit with standing room. The two servers were undeniably obnoxious, swearing and screaming at another group when we arrived, forgetting our food order until we checked in on it (it had been sitting in the back and I guess no one knew who was supposed to give it to what table), not being able to remember whether I had a tab or, when I wanted to close it, how to locate my credit card, which went unfound for enough time that I wasn't sure they'd be able to return it to me.
SkyLounge is barely acceptable as an amenity for The Glen Hotel's guests, which would be the only situation I'd recommend it: a quick drink in a plastic cup as you take in a nice view before heading out from the hotel. I gave SkyLounge a second star only for the view, but I would give 1.5 stars if I could.
