817 W Peachtree St NW Ste E125; Midtown; 404.815.9243
The Midtown watering hole's beer selection might be a good start, but it's their off-menu Sublime Donut Ice Cream Sandwich that'll have you cool as a cucumber, partly because it's cold and partly because you know that it exists. It's a Sublime glazed donut (made solely for Cypress), grilled up and sandwiched around a heaping dollop of Frozen Pints' Malted Milk Chocolate Stout beer ice cream, which should make becoming stout even more enjoyable.
