The Linnethia Lounge Purple walls, black leather-studded couches, and customized bar tables (not to mention a stage, bar, and dance floor) make Linnethia Lounge a fashionable place for adults to hang out. Owned by NeNe Leakes (of the Real Housewives of Atlanta fame), the hot spot offers pub grub, hookah, cocktails (try the Nene-Tini with smoking dry ice), live music, and big-screen televisions to watch a game.
