Best Restaurants and Bars for Rainy Days in Atlanta

Beth McKibben is the editor and staff reporter for Eater Atlanta and has been covering food and cocktails locally and regionally for 12 years.

Despite North Georgia’s temperate climate and months of mostly sunny weather, pop-up thunderstorms during the summer, the occasional tropical storm passing through the state in the fall, and cold rainy days during the winter occasionally make dining out in Atlanta unpleasant. But folks shouldn’t let a rainy day or wet week stop them from heading out to restaurants and bars around town to enjoy a meal or even some live entertainment with friends.

Eater compiled this handy rainy day dining guide that includes everything from indoor food crawls to consider and spots for playing games to maps with restaurants perfect for relaxing over food and drinks when it’s tipping down outside.
