10 Best Holiday Party Venues in Atlanta, GA
Atlanta has holiday party venues for almost any group, from a 12th-floor Buckhead rooftop to a Castleberry Hill brewery two blocks from Mercedes-Benz Stadium. These 10 holiday party venues in Atlanta are all on RestauRent. They cover everything from a 20-person client dinner to a 500-guest company party.
Tips for Booking an Atlanta Holiday Party
Book early. Friday and Saturday nights in December are the first dates to go.
Ask about heat and cover. December evenings get cool, so if a patio is part of the plan, ask whether it's enclosed or heated.
Plan the commute. Buckhead, Midtown and Downtown can be slow going at rush hour. Ask about parking or valet, and encourage rideshares if there's an open bar.
Check both capacities. A seated dinner and a standing reception can hold very different numbers in the same room.
