About Us

Buena Vida Tapas Bar is a restaurant on Atlanta's Beltline in Old Fourth Ward inspired by Southern Spain. Fun, approachable Spanish tapas are served in an airy, beautiful space with a large indoor bar and a Beltline-facing patio. This Atlanta concept is run by General Manager Lorenzo Masini and owned by local restaurateurs Adam Berlin & Juan S. Calle.

Our menu features classics, items specific to Southern Spain, and inventive and fun new dishes. A wine list by Sommelier and co-owner Adam Berlin features over half Spanish wine, plenty of classics, and new options. Our 30-seat bar opens to the restaurant on one side and to our sprawling patio on the other, with views of Historic Fourth Ward Park and the Beltline.
