INTRODUCING THE SUN DECK AT TWO URBAN LICKS 

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 5/22/25

A Summer Patio Pop-Up on the BeltLine Featuring Live Music, Cold Drinks, and Shareable Bites

Kicking Off Memorial Day Weekend – Friday, May 23 at 4 p.m.

Starting Memorial Day Weekend, TWO urban licks is officially opening The Sun Deck—a new side patio pop-up from the team that brought fire to the BeltLine before the BeltLine even existed. Designed to be a chill, low-key complement to the main dining room’s high energy, The Sun Deck offers guests a fresh take on warm-weather hangs with ice-cold cocktails, a curated snack menu, and weekend vibes that stretch from brunch into golden hour.

Located just off TWO’s main patio, The Sun Deck has been fully refreshed for the season—cleaned, styled, and stocked for summer. The outdoor bar will be pouring icy pours of Allagash Belgian White, New Realm Lager, Guinness, and rotating local brews, along with crisp pineapple cider, signature sips and ready-to-drink favorites like Ocho Reposado Palomas and Sun Cruiser Spiked Lemonade. For those looking for N/A options, there’s Athletic Brewing’s IPA, Mockly mocktails, Fentimans’ rose lemonade, and chilled Mountain Valley spring water.

On the food side, the menu is tight and patio-perfect. House-favorite salmon chips come stacked with smoked salmon, chipotle cream cheese, capers, and red onion. The spicy Caesar brings the heat with crisp romaine, house croutons, and a kicky Caesar dressing. Guests can also dig into crispy fried cauliflower tossed in harissa vinaigrette with dill labneh and charred lemon, or a duo of empanadas—brisket with chipotle crema or chicken with avocado crema, both served with feta and pico de Gallo. And yes, there’s dessert. A wood-oven Belgian waffle arrives topped with caramelized Georgia apples and smoked bourbon maple syrup. There’s a warm blueberry upside-down cake with vanilla gelato, strawberry mascarpone cheesecake with whipped cream and strawberry sauce, a gelato-stuffed ice cream sandwich, and a rotating trio of sorbet or gelato.

The Sun Deck kicks off Friday, May 23 at 4 p.m., with regular weekend hours continuing throughout the summer: early Fridays at 4 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays open from 11 a.m. straight through brunch and dinner service—bridging that downtime with the kind of sun-soaked hang TWO does best. Leashed pups are welcome.  

Follow TWO on Instagram at @twourbanlicks for programming updates including live music, collaborations, and special events, and more. TWO urban licks is located at 820 Ralph McGill Blvd., Atlanta, GA 30306. For more information, visit www.twourbanlicks.com.

From May 18 to May 20, 2025, the city will welcome the Top 30 regional bartenders from across the country as they compete in the USBG Presents World Class U.S. Finals, a multi-day event designed to test the creativity, technical skill, and knowledge of the nation’s best mixologists. Competitions and programming will take place within Thompson Atlanta – Buckhead, offering guests a front-row seat to the craft cocktail world’s most exciting showdown.

Following a series of immersive and challenging rounds, 10 finalists will be selected to continue vying for the title of 2025 U.S. Bartender of the Year. The national champion will go on to represent the U.S. at the World Class Global Finals in Toronto, Canada this August, competing against top bartenders from more than 50 countries.

“We’re honored to be part of such a prestigious event and welcome bartending talent from across the country to Thompson Atlanta – Buckhead,” said Donte Johnson, General Manager of Thompson Atlanta – Buckhead. “Our hotel celebrates craft, culture, and community – values deeply shared with this competition and the bartending profession at large.”

The World Class competition, sponsored by global spirits leader Diageo, will take place exclusively at Thompson Atlanta – Buckhead. While select off-site events – including the Top 10 Dinner and Winner Announcement – will be held at other locations, the main competition is open to the public for consumers 21+.

“World Class is more than a competition – it’s a celebration of bartenders at the highest level,” said Bo Shuff, Executive Director of the United States Bartenders’ Guild. “We’re honored to host this event as part of the USBG Bar Summit and to partner with Thompson Atlanta – Buckhead in welcoming and showcasing these professionals from across the country as we celebrate their craft. It’s a powerful reflection of how education and community – core to the USBG’s mission, continue to shape the future of our industry.”

The United States Bartenders’ Guild (USBG), a nonprofit with thousands of members and chapters in nearly 50 cities, including Atlanta, has long championed professional development within the beverage industry. The USBG Presents World Class Sponsored by DIAGEO event not only showcases exceptional bartending talent but also highlights emerging trends in the industry, from sustainability and low-ABV cocktails to bartenders’ growing roles as educators and community leaders.

THE RENAISSANCE ORCHESTRA ANNOUNCES A SPECIAL ONE-NIGHT ONLY CONCERT EVENT, MAY 30, AT CENTER STAGE

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 5/12/25

‘Up the Score’ Takes Classical Back to the Lab with the Help of Guest Artists Genre Bending Violinist Michael Prince and Piano Prodigy BLKBOK 

Tickets Are On Sale Now

What if the score wasn’t the final version? What if you scratched beneath the surface, infused it with your own vibe remixed for the culture, tossed it with R&B and hip-hop, and set it with a full accompaniment of strings fueled by scores of the past?  These are the very questions The Renaissance Orchestra will answer as they ‘Up the Score’ on May 30 at Center Stage in Atlanta, GA.  Fueled by visionary founder Tyrone “OG” Bowie- a multi-talented, Atlanta-based musician, producer, and DJ, The Renaissance Orchestra is a groundbreaking musical collective that blends classical instrumentation with the pulse of modern production and what you end up with is a sound as much rooted in tradition as it is radically redefined and new.

“This isn’t just music, it’s personal,” says Tyrone “OG” Bowie, Founder of The Renaissance Orchestra. “When people experience ‘Up the Score,’ I want them to leave feeling like they have just witnessed a new cultural moment where orchestral music reflects the stories, energy, and excellence of Black artistry.”

‘Up the Score’ will not be the typical night at the symphony, while top hats and tails won’t be discouraged; this is a cultural experience and should be embraced as such. Guests can expect classical music tossed on its head, remixed for the culture — where hip-hop meets violin, R&B gets reimagined with full strings, and original scores get flipped like samples. 

For this special one-night-only concert event, Houston-born violinist producer and composer Michael Prince, known for his innovative fusion of classical hip-hop R&B jazz and pop music, will join The Renaissance Orchestra. Prince has collaborated with notable artists such as Jon Batiste, T-Pain, A$AP, Rocky Timbaland, and LaRussell and is revved up to bring that same collaboration spirit to ‘Up the Score.’  Additionally, BLKBOK, a classically trained pianist and composer known for blending classical music with hip-hop R&B and jazz influences, will tickle the ivories, adding another dimension to The Renaissance Orchestra’s sound. BLKBOK has toured with stars like Justin Timberlake and Rihanna before launching his solo career and redefining what it means to be a modern classical artist.

General Admission tickets for ‘Up the Score’ with Michael Prince and BLKBOK are on sale now at www.CenterStage.com. ‘Up the Score’ is produced by The Renaissance Orchestra. Visit www.TheRenaissanceOrchestra.com for the most up-to-date information. Stay connected on Facebook @TheRenaissanceOrchestra and Instagram at @RenaissanceOrchestra_. Center Stage is located at 1374 West Peachtree Street, Atlanta, Georgia.

·       Art reimagined: Photoshop and AI synergy – Young designers explore digital artistry and AI-powered photo editing using Adobe Photoshop to create original visuals and visual stories.

·       Game Design with Scratch 3.0 – Campers learn to build interactive games using Scratch’s visual programming platform, while developing problem-solving and logic skills.

Advance registration is required, and planning early is encouraged, as several sessions are already sold out.
