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.

My wife and two visiting relatives went with me to the "Juke Joint". The hostess was pleasant upon our arrival. We were seated promptly, and our waitress Brie was OUTSTANDING. She handled all of our requests and was VERY customer-oriented. The band was FANTASTIC, and so was the food. The chicken wings were DELICIOUS. They were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The Georgia Trout was VERY good also. My guests from Boston ENJOYED the atmosphere, the band and the food... My wife and I plan to return.
