I can’t wait to experience this with my girls! The drinks were good and the music selection was top notch! If you looking for a low key, sexy experience! This is it! 10’s across the board!!!

So glad I finally got to experience this little gem. From the music to the aesthetic, I was extremely pleased. The music scratches my little adhd brain just right—think layered soft r&b.
The cocktails? Complete art. I adore them—well balanced and an easy sip. The menu is broken down and categorized so well that even the newest of craft drinkers can easy find something to please their pallet.
It has a sultry grown and sexy kind of vibe. Perfect for a date night (solo or not) or cutesy girls night out. I will definitely be back. I barely got to take any pictures lol.

Anansi is exactly the kind of place I’ve always dreamed of for a relaxing night out. This Black-owned cocktail bar is full of sultry, intimate vibes—and of course it’s right in the best city: Decatur. Whether you’re coming solo for a little self-care, pulling up with your girls, or planning a cozy date night, Anansi sets the perfect mood every time.
The staff, from the servers to the owner, are genuinely sweet and welcoming. The cocktail of the night was the Paper Plane, and Bess crafted it with absolute perfection. Smooth, balanced, and unforgettable—just like the entire experience.
If you’re looking for a spot that feels like luxury, comfort, and good energy all in one, Anansi is the place.

I had the best espresso martinis ever here. I didn’t get my friend’s name but I made sure to let him know how much I enjoyed them! This place is very cute and the music is nice.

The bartender (tall guy) was quite rude and unprofessional. I’ve been there twice and it was the same trope. I would not recommend Anansi if you are looking for exquisite customer service through and through. Yes, the atmosphere is lovely and some of the servers are too, but being that this is a cocktail lounge, the bartender sets the stage for the experience in my opinion.
Outside of the bartender being generally stoic and unkind, the primary challenge with my experience came with a startling approach where he stood over my partner and I as we were sitting and jolted the payment apparatus to us saying “you need to close out and leave because your foot is on the table”. While I immediately apologized and moved my foot, the result was still the same. There was accountability for a human mistake, as the tables are leveled at the same height as ottomans, but regardless of this oversight and response, I felt generally uncared for, and dismissed as a customer who wants to support a local business. It was confirmed that I was not the only customer to have placed their foot on the low lying tables, and I am sure I will not be the last. I recommend the establishment place signs to circumvent this from happening again.
Moreover, I would hate for anyone else to be approached in the harmful and intimidating manner that I was by a tall man, especially being a shorter woman.
Either way, I will not be back and have shared this full situational context with my friends and broader community. No one deserves to be treated that way.
Kindness and compassion are a virtue. I recommend customers support the many other businesses that provide this.

This place is such a hidden Gem! I’ve been twice already. The second time I brought people back with me and plan to bring more. The drinks are on point, and the ambiance is everything! It’s a very unique place with low lighting which I love! It gives elevated Love Jones vibes. They don’t serve food as it is a cocktail bar, but they have little snacks like white cheddar popcorn, pretzels, and olives. Oh, and it’s black owned! I can’t wait to visit again!

Such a sexy spot to grab drinks and get good music. Sound system is crisp and surrounding— not giving too loud live music in a restaurant. NTways, a vibe, worth the coin, free parking available.

Thought I would check it out as I’m often in the area for other events. It’s a very small, intimate, upscale space. Perfect for a date night drink. The music was great and not overly loud. Easy to converse over. A little bit of something for everyone on the cocktail menu, including mocktails. It was nice to just sit and sip my cocktail and enjoy the vibe and ambiance of the room.

Cozy, classy and great place for a cocktail. They didn’t have all the cocktail that we wanted but the vibes was great. Really nice place for a date or with your girlfriends. They have no food only drinks. But 10/10 vibe
