Atlanta food and drink recommendations for SEC Championship
Posted on 11/15/22 at 2:48 pm

I posted this on Tiger Rant the other day:
Can you recommend some good restaurants and sports bars to visit? We're looking at an AirBnB by the Fox Theater, but haven't made accommodations yet. Middle part of Atlanta or Mid-town and the Beltline were recommended spots to stay.

We'll be heading to Atlanta to see our Fightin' Tigers play in the SEC Championship. It'll be my brother-in-law, my two nephews (18 and 20), me and my three kids (14, 16, and 20).
I haven't been to Atlanta since the Tennessee game in 2007. I'm sure a lot has changed. That said,
Where's the best place to stay that's relatively convenient to the stadium? It looks like the downtown area is either booked or very expensive. Are there other areas of town we should consider?
What are some good places to eat and drink? More lively sports bar atmosphere and not strictly 21+ bars (kids are underage).
What's the best way to get tickets?
Has LSU released any activities, tailgates, Friday night pep rally, etc?

Went to Gun Show in 2019 for Oklahoma game. Was pricey, but a really cool place and good menu. They have several chefs there that each make something for your table.

Seconded. When in Atlanta, you have to go to The Varsity. It's the law.

With that group I'd suggest to just hop on at the nearest MARTA station Friday evening and ride to Decatur. Train will drop you off right in the square where there is tons of food options and bars and all is pretty much family friendly.
Food - Deer and Dove (farm to table), Iberian Pig (tapas), D92 (KBBQ), Brick Store Pub (Pub food, awesome beer program, go upstairs to the Cask Ale bar and the Belgium Bar), White Bull (pasta), Leon's Full Service...theres a bunch more
Sports/Bar - Twains (brewery/pool hall), O'Sullivans Pub (will have a few TVs with sports on), theres a Taco Mac that is walkable that is a local chicken wing/sports bar chain that will have a bunch of TVs with sports on, also a Grindhouse which is a local burger chain that will have sports on
Check out and see who is playing at Eddie's Attic on Friday night, great venue

Do what? All the great restaurants in midtown and west midtown and you wanna send em to Decatur on Marta?
I get the restaurant scene in Decatur but if you take Marta to Decatur the family has transfer to the east/west line at L5P.Plus,who knows what the weather will be like for walking around...it was flat out miserable today.

It will be cold, but forecast doesn't show any rain. Decatur is a good spot for all ages with good food, bars, and music and fairly safe. Once you get off MARTA, you have a very short walk to a bunch of different spots all night.
What would you suggest?

Ponce City Market
Posted on 11/16/22 at 5:47 am to CocoRobichaux
Krog Street or Ponce City Market or if you wanna go to the west midtown area,
Six Feet Under (sit on the deck if the weather cooperates) or Ormsbys (games and burgers)

I don't understand why Ponce City Market always gets suggested. I understand popping in off the Beltline to grab a beer or a snack but do people actually go there and hang out? Why? The food is just okay..and what else do you do there? Not really a destination type of place in my opinion.
Krog Street is better for that sort of thing with better food and has the Inman Park bars and restaurants close by in walking distance.
Six Feet Under is okay but why go to a seafood place coming in town from Louisiana? The Westside definitely has nice restaurants, but not the most walkable area of Atlanta. You can get a really nice meal, but you aren't going to explore an area and stop in multiple establishments. It's great if that's what you're looking for, but there are better neighborhoods if you are looking to walk around a bit and check out different spots.

Could always stay in Marietta/Smyrna(look into the battery where the braves play), Uber to a marta and take Marta to the stadium. That’s my go to.
There are restaurants all in the battery and it’s a fun time. Antico is there (best pizza in Atlanta) and fox brothers bbq. C ellets is good as well and they have a wine bar and dualing pianos bar. I’m sure it will be filled with pups but would definitely look into that area

El Super Pan Cubano is great.

Here's the rail map for Marta.
Areas I'd check out Midtown, Arts Center, Buckhead, or Dunwoody/Sandy Springs areas for hotels.
Midtown/Arts Center: walkable, a lot of hotel & restaurant options.
Buckhead: uptown area, walkable with Lenox Mall nearby.
Dunwoody/Sandy Springs: not as walkable but a bunch of hotels & Perimeter Mall nearby.
Sports Bars
Stats: sports bar near Mercedes Benz.
The Battery: development attached to the Braves stadium. A lot of cool stuff to do. It's not on the Marta route but highly recommend. LINK
Check out the LSU Atlanta Facebook page for updates. They're in the process of putting some stuff together. TAF and the SEC usually have some stuff at the Georgia World Congress Center which is right beside the stadium.

Visit the bars in Buckhead if you get a chance.

second the ponce city critique ..... really not that great, but a few decent eats and shops.
I would rent an Airbnb near Inman Park .... good food and drink options and you can walk to the Marta or take a ride share over. (it's less than 3 miles as the crow goes).
Ticonderoga is one of my favorite spots ... it's small but awesome. Plenty of spots on the beltline as well. Krog street is a smaller, more interesting version of Ponce.
Six Feet Under? nahhhh ... lesser version of the Chimes. Midtown and Buckhead are okay. But fairly sterile. Forget about Downtown.
Boca Lupa, Sotto Sotto are two good italian spots in the neighborhood as well. Plus, there may be a good show at the Variety Playhouse.
