An Atlanta Bachelor Party Itinerary

Whether you’re looking for sports, food, brews, or late-night fun, an Atlanta bachelor party delivers on all of the above. Inside this thriving metro, you’ll find everything from high-tech driving ranges to NASCAR speedways, not to mention a few essential stops like SunTrust Park and Mercedes-Benz Stadium worth adding to the itinerary.

We know planning your Atlanta bachelor party can involve some hefty research, so we’ve built a play-by-play guide for a guys’ weekend done right.

What to Do

Home to the Braves, Hawks, and the Falcons, you can’t go wrong catching a game to kick off your Atlanta bachelor party. Take it one step further and surprise the groom-to-be with tickets for the group on your first night in town. If you can’t actually make it to a game day, consider booking a stadium tour during your trip. Most stadiums offer daily guided tours year-round at a completely doable price point.

Another option for the sports enthusiast is a visit to the College Football Hall of Fame. This 95,000 square-foot museum could entertain your crew for hours with a 45-yard indoor football field, plus over 50 unique exhibits to explore.

If you’re looking for a spot to hang for the evening, Topgolf Atlanta is the place to be. You’ll have access to over 100 hitting bays, an on-site restaurant and bar, and the venue’s rooftop terrace and fire pit. If NASCAR is more your style, road trip 20 miles south of the city to the Atlanta Motor Speedway. Check their events calendar and grab tickets in advance for an epic night out.

Interested in a brewery tour during your Atlanta bachelor party? The Atlanta Brews Cruise has you covered. You’ll make a stop at three craft breweries in the city, with ample time to sip and sample the innovative beers that have put them on the map. You can also skip the tour and check out the brewery scene on your own time throughout the weekend. Don’t miss top-rated spots like Monday Night Brewing and SweetWater Brewery, just to name a few.

Nightlight in Atlanta is in high supply, with bars and clubs lining city streets like Crescent Avenue in Midtown. Bar hop between Crescent Avenue and Piedmont Avenue for your pick of establishments and make sure to stop at Laughing Skull Lounge for a slice of live comedy during your night on the town.

Where to Go

If slow-roast ribs are a “yes” in your book, Fox Bros. BBQ should be high on your food agenda. Opened by a pair of Texan brothers with a passion for Southern eats, they created the ultimate Atlanta hangout with a relaxed atmosphere and legendary BBQ.

Set in a revitalized historic building, Ponce City Market is a great spot for casual eats with a group. The space features a central food hall with top-notch food stands serving everything from pizza to burgers, to fried chicken, ice cream, coffee and more. For libations, stop at The Tap on Ponce which offers 56 different taps that you can enjoy anywhere in the market food hall. Or, head to the rooftop of Ponce City Market to 9 Mile Station. This elevated beer garden will deliver amazing city views along with food and drinks to impress any foodie in your group.

For those serious about finding top-notch cuisine during your Atlanta bachelor party, Holeman & Finch is the answer. Labeled as a modern gastropub, their chefs cook with fresh, seasonal ingredients and serve up innovative dishes in a modern yet approachable space.

Where to Stay

When it comes to choosing accommodations for your Atlanta bachelor party, make sure to consider the best neighborhood for your group. The popular Buckhead neighborhood is home to upscale shopping and restaurants, plus a string of luxury hotel options to serve as home base for the weekend. The Westin Buckhead Atlanta and the Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead will both provide sophisticated digs and put you within walking distance to everything this famous neighborhood has to offer.

Over in Midtown, you’ll find the high-rise W Atlanta which houses 466 guest rooms, each with a sleek, urban vibe. Another Midtown option, the Loews Atlanta Hotel will ensure you’re walking distance to all the nightlife action with dozens of bars and clubs just outside your door.
