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.
