About the restaurant

TWO Urban Licks' incredible wood-fired cuisine, live rotating rotisseries, unique 26 foot wine on tap barrel wall (the first in the country!), funky live blues, Beltline views and the "wow" design centered around the floor to ceiling Todd Murphy painting lit by a gas lamp wall make TWO truly one of a kind.

The innovative, domestic and international, wine program consists solely of stainless steel barrels of wine displayed in a 26 foot, glass and steel, temperature controlled tower situated prominently in the restaurant. The Bar also boasts 4 in house draft cocktails, infusions and a state of the art beer program.

TWO has garnered an abundance accolades including Conde Nast Traveler's "Hot List", Bon Appetit's "Hot 50 Tables" and one of Rachael Ray's "favorite restaurants" in the country by Instyle Magazine. Nominated locally year after year as "Best Restaurant Scene" and "best place to take an out of towner", guests keep coming back for dinner and weekend brunch!

About the restaurant

Sweet Georgia’s Juke Joint is the continuation of a deep history of music, food, drink and socializing in the South. Located in the former Macy’s building in the heart of downtown Atlanta at the iconic 200 Peachtree St. address, Sweet Georgia’s Juke Joint brings to the city a place to relax while enjoying live entertainment and exceptional cuisine. A per person entertainment fee will be applied to your bill, this does not apply on Sunday's. Historically, juke joints originated in the rural outskirts of many southern towns to give African American communities a place to kick back and unwind after a long week of work. Sweet Georgia’s Juke Joint represents diverse culture, featuring music across all genres and popular hits throughout American history. An imaginative menu makes Sweet Georgia’s Juke Joint a staple in Atlanta’s downtown restaurant scene and the allure of traditional juke joints is showcased in the restaurant’s design.

Fun time! This place is known for being at the heart of Atlantic Station, and it lives up to that! Food is great, and so is the busy atmosphere. It’s always a good time to catch a sporting game here, but if you need extra time for a show, plan ahead because the kitchen can get backed up and slow. Otherwise drinks and food are great, and you can’t beat the location!
