Here’s what’s poppin’ in ATL!

White Oak has an awesome Oyster + Wine Event this Monday. Check it out below!

Whaddup!

I needed a couple of days to recuperate from the ridiculously festive Memorial Day Weekend where I had to show off ATL to my homey visiting from Washington D.C. From Orpheus Brewing's birthday, to the Atlanta Jazz Fest, NBA playoffs, the AAU tournament in Suwanee to see the future of basketball aka Marvin Bagley III ball out (look him up), crazy bar hopping, and Game of Thrones to name a few, I needed these last few days to woosah.

Now in Miami—be sure to check out my Instagram for beer, cars, and other fun posts here—I wanted to make sure the site was updated a lil' something.

Let's start with some upcoming events followed by my Annual Last-Minute Father's Day Gift Guide on I am posting asap. Trust me, it's going to be the best one so far!
Oh ,and a shout out to my lil' bro Rashad Suede celebrating his b-day today and another one to the late, great J Dilla on National Donut Day! If you are a hip-hop head, you will know what I mean. 
Cheers!

Free live music starts at Venkman's now in June!

They Say: Free music every night – that is the new Venkman’s promise, and it will make Atlanta’s summer spectacular! June is Venkman’s first full month of offering free music and programming every day before 10:00 p.m., meaning that tons of what you read below includes no charge.  Only ticketed shows beginning at 10:00 p.m. or later will carry any cost, and June’s lineup is worth every penny.

After a little June warm-up on Wednesday and Thursday, Venkman’s kicks off its ticketed shows on Friday, June 3 at 10: 00 p.m. with Nameless Nameless, Atlanta’s best Nirvana tribute band. The month’s first weekend is a big one, featuring Cold Heart Canyon at noon on Saturday for the first edition of the new Chicken Pickin’ brunch. The popular Wednesday night program featuring food specials from Springer Mountain Farms and local bluegrass and Americana bands is making a permanent switch to Saturday brunch! Chicken Pickin’ will remain free of charge, but fans can expect exciting regional bands and inspired cooking from Executive Chef Nick Melvin, courtesy of our friends at Springer Mountain. 

For more info, go here.

See y’all soon!
