Taking a road trip to Venkman’s in my old stomping grounds of Atlanta, Georgia. Located at 740 Ralph McGill Blvd NE, 30312, I am looking forward to enjoying an evening of jazz beginning at 8:00pm with Joe Gransden’s Jazz Jam. With a wealth of Atlanta’s finest musicians, both emerging and established, it has become a lively and packed event, so you might want to make reservations, just in case it becomes standing room only.
The ex–soda bottling plant turned dining establishment in the Old Fourth Ward with subway tiles, an open kitchen and exposed ceiling beams now plates modern comfort food with a contemporary spin in the ambiance of the industrial-chic dining room with a Tuesday night performance of jazz on an ample stage. Phone: 470 225-6162 / Reservations: opentable.com / Menu: venkmans.com
