Sooooo...the main event going on Friday night is at "The Battery". The link is below.
Overall, "The Battery" is a retail/dining/entertainment district between the outfield of the Braves baseball stadium and US 41. The specific bar where the event will be is known as The Battery Live! (and, yes, the exclamation point is mandatory, I worked with the same developer when we were trying to build a similar facility at Daytona International Speedway, and when we had a falling-out, we could no longer use the word "Live!").
I am providing the map below. The Battery is right by where I-75 and I-285 meet on the northwest side of Atlanta. If you are staying in Midtown, just drive north on 75. I work on the opposite side of 285, so I may just walk over. Parking is FREE for the first two hours, and then is a flat rate of $20 after that. I usually park in the Red lot (circled), but there are a couple of other garages scattered around. I have circled The Battery Live! and marked it as TBL (duh), it is literally one of the closest spots to the outfield gate where you go into Braves games.
If you want to make it an evening, there are quite a few good spots at The Battery, I will give my personal favorites.
1. Fox Bros. BBQ (inside of Terrapin Taproom, trust me, you can order Fox Bros) - this is my personal favorite Atlanta-based BBQ joint (the original one is over by Krog Street Market).
2. Antico Pizza - this is my personal favorite Atlanta-based pizza joint (the original one is over by GaTech).
3. Superica - this is my personal favorite Atlanta-based Tex-Mex, it is a Ford Fry restaurant, and I have no idea where the original location is.
4. C. Ellet's Steakhouse - I've only been once, on expense account, when my office went prior to a Braves game, but it is good.
5. H&F Burger - a burger joint from the Holeman & Finch steakhouse group, I love this spot, I went to the one in Ponce City Market after the LAST GaTech game with a certain other poster on this board.
6. EATaliano Kitchen - kinda self-explanatory, you eat Italian food here, great spot.
7. El Super Pan Latino Kitchen & Bar - again, very self-explanatory, but if you are having Cuban sandwich withdrawal, this is a great spot.
8. Punch Bowl. Social - I was just there last Friday before I flew to Miami, it's mostly a bar, it's a really fun spot, but the food was surprisingly good. I got some takeout for my wife, and she loved it.
9. Wahlburgers - I order this all the time on GrubHub. I've only been inside once, with KPMG, it's fine.
10. YardHouse - Darden restaurant, it's fine, you've seen this before.
There are a few more spots, but these are the ones to focus on.
