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.
