A ground-up construction project built by Chandlee and Sons Construction Company has made the ‘top’ list on Zagat. The project is the Big Sky Buckhead bar and restaurant - a two-story Bernie Kosar Authentic Jersey , steel, wood, concrete and glass structure in north Atlanta. The list is "The 12 Hottest Rooftop Dining and Drinking Scenes Across the USA"!
Chandlee and Sons Construction completed the project in February with the soft opening held the night of February 21, 2014. (See the photo on the right) Big Sky Buckhead is located on Cains Hill Place in Buckhead, a eat outdoors.
As denoted by the name, the design for Big Sky is the wide open ‘big sky’ spaces of the north western United States. The use of huge wood beams and steel girders is essential to the design. The second floor bar features a mural on one wall designed and painted by an Atlanta artist of a forested mountain scene. Handcrafted finishes constructed of stone, wood and tile are found throughout the bar. Take all of these elements and add the lifting glass doors and you achieve the larger-than-life outdoors experience located right in the middle of a very urban setting. (The photo above was taken in May 2014). It is a tribute to the design and construction of the structure that it made the list of "12" for it is the only ‘scene’ on the list with a roof overhead. Zagat also commented that bar fare is not the usual, expected offering. As written by their staff writer Sheldrick Redwine Jersey , "Chef Hector Santiago consulted on the menu, and his Latin-and-more-inspired bar food is a welcome change from the norm"
