If you're in Atlanta and looking for places to wine and dine this February, the city doesn't disappoint with a smorgasbord of events and new delights to tantalize your taste buds. Whether you're a craft beer aficionado, a bourbon enthusiast, or just in the mood for a culinary adventure, metro Atlanta's food scene is bustling with activity.
For brew lovers, Eventide Brewing has a real treat, celebrating its 10th anniversary with a full day of beer-filled festivities and nostalgia on Feb. 10. As reported by FOX 5 Atlanta, the brewery is putting on an interactive photo wall, where a cheeky glance of yourself snags a free beer. Plus, a raffle drawing that could win you an evening in Eventide’s Biergarten, valued at a sweet $700 placeholder. Meanwhile, Scofflaw Brewing Co. isn't far behind with its %#$@ Cancer event. All proceeds are heading towards the leukemia & lymphoma society, making every sip count for a good cause.
But it's not just about the beer. The Southern Gentleman is sprucing up an exclusive night with Maker's Mark on Feb. 21, offering a decadent three-course bourbon dinner that foodies would not want to miss. If you're into lighter fare, Taziki’s Mediterranean Cafe's announcement, via FOX 5 Atlanta, of its iconic Grilled Fish with Homemade Caper-Dill Sauce, ought to do the trick, alongside a newly introduced White Chocolate Lemon Cookie that promises to hit the sweet spot.
Oh, and let's not forget Valentine’s Day. The Betty is setting the scene for romance with a four-course, pre-fixe dazzler. Not to be outdone, Buca di Beppo is dishing out Heart-Shaped Lasagna for all the lovebirds out there, as relayed by FOX 5 Atlanta. In a more casual vein, Tropical Smoothie is rolling out a new line-up of Tropic Bowls, aligning with the lighter notes of February festivities.
The scene's not stopping there. The Poppin Vegan's collaboration with Best End Brewing brings the Vegan BrewFest into the limelight. According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, foodies can indulge in a selection of vegan bites, beer, and live music, right alongside some classic yard games. For those with a zeal for something new, CraveWell Cafe has opened two new locations in West Midtown and Sandy Springs – an opening that includes free smoothie samples and, for the early birds, the offer of free smoothies for a year.
Food events are a plenty this month, but stick around for one of the city's more avant-garde offerings – Nakato Japanese Restaurant is dishing out two complimentary sushi rolls in the name of Galentine's Day, but remember, it's a dine-in exclusive. For those with a penchant for sweet finales, a new Red Velvet Brownie from Jimmy John’s might just clinch the deal, especially as it comes with its own scoop of saucy singles-driven drama on Jimmy John's social channels.
