Make the after-hours scene in Decatur.
Decatur packs plenty of cocktails, craft brews, and live music into a walkable nightlife scene. After sunset, you’ll find a mix of ticked shows and laid-back hangouts. Catch established acts and upcoming performers at Eddie’s Attic, one of Atlanta’s legendary music venues. Step back into time at Roaring Social speakeasy and dance the night away. Unwind with some comedy, test your trivia knowledge or grab a cue at a pool hall.
When it comes to drinks, Decatur delivers. Head to Kimball House for fancy after-dinner cocktails, or escape to the island vibes of S.O.S. Tiki Bar. Beer lovers can make their way around the square’s pubs, including the famous Brick Store Pub. If you’re still going after midnight, Trackside Tavern keeps the dive bar spirit alive until 3 a.m.
Make Decatur your hub for the evening or a starting point for a metro Atlanta pub crawl.
