You’ve got your tickets, now make it a night out at State Farm Arena. Come early and enjoy one of six new restaurants selected by executive chef Joe Schafer, including Old Lady Gang, the second location of the soul food restaurant from Real Housewives of Atlanta stars Todd Tucker and Kandi Burruss-Tucker. Immerse yourself in Atlanta’s own Little Italy with four Italian concepts from local restaurateur Giovanni DiPalma, including Antico Pizza, Gio’s Chicken Italiano & Maccheroni, Caffe Antico, and Gio’s Italian Grill. Expect locally sourced Southern-crafted cuisine and musical memorabilia at Zac Brown’s Social Club, opened by the country music star and helmed by executive chef Rusty Hamlin, of Food Network Star fame. And don’t miss the famous lemon pepper wet wings at J.R. Crickets, Brenda’s brisket at B’s Cracklin’ BBQ, or frozen treats at Rita’s Italian Ice.

Also new are premium spaces and entertainment designed to encourage gathering with friends. Atlanta Social features plush couches and cabanas for lounging, and all-inclusive food and drinks. Chefs Club, curated by Schafer, is a supper club with all-inclusive food and drinks. And at the Players Club, you can high-five players as they run into the locker room and watch the postgame press conference. Get a group together and enjoy the Topgolf Swing Suite, the first located in a sports arena, or hang with a buddy while getting a shave or haircut at Killer Mike’s barbershop, The SWAG Shop. As the only barbershop in the NBA with direct sightlines into the arena, you can sit back and watch the action on the court from the comfort of your chair.
