Saturday evening, The Beaver* and I dropped by Cafe Intermezzo for a drink. Because it was reasonably early, we were able to score seats at the bar. Intermezzo has an enormous selection of espresso drinks, cocktails, misnamed Martinis**, wine, and beer. After perusing this list for about half an hour, I ordered a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (SNPA). The Beaver was a bit more adventurous and ordered a white wine.

I enjoyed my SNPA and ordered another one. In contrast, my companion decided to switch types of wine and asked the bartender for advice. Despite displaying competency in the all-important category of getting more booze to the patrons in a timely manner, the bartender was clueless about wine and admitted as much to us. One would think an august establishment like Cafe Intermezzo would have some type of training program to familiarize the staff with the various and sundry libations available. Sadly, this is apparently not the case.

Overall, Cafe Intermezzo is a nice place to hang out, with an excellent faux European atmosphere. Additionally, drink prices are fairly reasonable, especially compared to establishments further north along Peachtree Street, in the Buckhead Shooting Gallery™. Cafe Intermezzo earns a rating of somewhat bitchin’.
