13TH ANNUAL OYSTER CRAWFISH FESTIVAL

For the past twelve years, thousands of music and food loving festivalgoers gather annually at Park Tavern in Piedmont Park to celebrate the Oyster Crawfish Festival. For the 13th installment on Saturday, March 26, 2016, Park Tavern will once again serve up approximately ten thousand pounds of fresh Louisiana crawfish that are brought in the night before – making it Atlanta’s biggest crawfish festival. Conveniently located on the Atlanta BeltLine, Park Tavern will also serve fresh, regional fried, raw, and steamed oysters, delicious fried oyster, shrimp and chicken baskets, Abita brews, Bacardi cocktails and more.

Monday Night’s Once Upon A Dream Prom

It was like a throw back to the simpler times of impressing the boys, wondering what to wear to class, and cramming for that important exam. Prom. There were several highlights of the Once Upon a Dream Prom: one being the parade of mullets. We didn’t expect there to be more mullets than in Daytona Beach and Pensacola combined! Also, the barrage of 80’s clad tuxes and dresses were hilarious and that’s the angle we’ll take if we do this again next year. Side pony tail, please. All-in-all a fun night of dancing, sipping Monday night beer, and taking in the sites.

El Scorcho Weezer Tribute Band at Star Bar

On Friday, February 26th El Scorcho, Weezer Tribute Band, returns to Star Bar to perform Weezer’s Blue and Pinkerton, back-to-back for ONE NIGHT ONLY. Just think they’ll open with My Name is Jonas and end Blue with Only in Dreams! Love it! Special opening guests will be their friends in El Cheapo, performing all of the best slacker rock from Pavement to Grandaddy and everything in between. Hyperspace, a fun pop punk band from Atlanta with songs about girls, Star Wars, DragonCon, and other nerdy stuff. Sounds like a fun night. Doors open at 9pm and music starts at 10pm. Tickets are $8 at the door.
