The "West Village"
An area of mostly local retailers, restaurants and bars.
In the few blocks bounded by West Paces Ferry, Roswell and Andrews, we have a real hidden treasure unknown to the casual visitor. It’s an historic and eclectic shopping destination with its array of quaint shops, galleries, restaurants, bars and other businesses.
This district has a real “village” atmosphere artfully combining the beauty and tradition of the Old South with the needs of sophisticated style seekers, offering something for everyone. There’s clothing, accessories, jewelry, lingerie, furnishings, antiques and more.
There are also two dozen establishments that have alcoholic licenses.
So Buckhead has bragging rights for yet another dimension -- a “village” with which not many have been familiar. It’s right in the heart of Buckhead, yet it’s hidden away to be discovered. It’s the twenty-four-hour part of Atlanta that young and old will enjoy, with delightful “mom and pop” businesses, safe, orderly and sensible nightlife and convenience of location at the Buckhead Triangle Park. This is where the community came into being about one hundred and seventy-one years ago where the name changed from Irbyville to Buckhead, when a trophy buck’s head became the meeting place of friends.
