September 19th we are doing a bar crawl on the Red Line we're calling Red Line Rampage. Five Points to Buckhead. We have 5 bars on board with MARTA themed Drink specials at each one.

Figured this crowd would appreciate the concept more than most.

If anyone's interested in joining leave a reply or message me and I'll send the details. We will have a cap due to bar capacities but should make for a good event to make friends and explore Atlanta

ADC(/r/atlanta meetup) @ 97 Estoria

When: Saturday, June 13th @ 7PM-12AM

Where: 97 Estoria @ 727 Wylie St SE, Atlanta, GA 30316

https://maps.app.goo.gl/ADUdAPp9nwuWnpDc8

Who: You, me, us, them, your friends, your SO, your pets, whoever

What: Awkward internet folks doing our best to get out and socialize. We’re a pretty diverse group, mostly 20s to 50s, and usually get around 20-30 people or so.

Details: This month, we’ll be meeting up at 97 Estoria. They’ve got a full kitchen, bar, and a number of nonalcoholic & vegeterian options -> https://www.estoriabar.com/menu

You can street park for free nearby (in designated areas), use the covered deck on the other side of the krog street tunnel over by the intersection of Decatur St and Airline St. Conversely, you can take MARTA to either the King Memorial or Inman Park Station and walk over.

If you need help finding the group (we don't have a reservation, will just claim a corner for ourselves when we get there), look for the guy in the pink ATL Hoe hat ping me in a message on reddit or the metro atl discord in the #atlanta-driking-club channel -> https://discord.gg/ebQgx8HWVx. If the weather is nice, my goal is to hang out on the outdoor patio. I'll shoot to get there around 630 to hunker down and grab a space.

Meetup History: Atlanta Drinking Club started in 2019 after a user noticed there were a lot of posts from other users to the tune of "New adult in Atlanta, how can I make friends?" After a couple of initial planned events, it just sorta took on a life of its own and has become a regularly occurring event. Please note that it's perfectly fine if you don't drink. Point of meeting up at breweries is that they have plenty of space for a group of an unknown size to hang out for hours. Else, will generally be organizing it as a monthly event that will occur on the 2nd Saturday of each month.

Picking up trash next Sunday 10:30am at South Bend park! Come enjoy the weather while it's nice https://detrashhikesatl.substack.com/p/lets-detrash-south-bend-park-ecf?r=254ncd&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

Doom Scroll (melodic folk punk crust for d&d nerds who like movie scores and sedition) and Pentagram String Band (bluegrass to summon demons to) are playing at Mad Malts on Wednesday, October 28th. Local support from the Muckers! Come hang! Tell your friends!

LET’S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!

Hey everyone my name is Shenuque. I'm a Sri Lankan stand-up comedian that's on tour workshopping my special before my October 11th TV taping.

Shop with over twenty local vendors this Saturday at Harmony Park! Treat yourself to awesome handmade goods and grab a bite at one of the awesome restaurants around the park! It's going to be a beautiful day!

They have a small parking lot, but there's plenty of street parking nearby if you're driving.

If you need help finding the group (we don't have a reservation, will just claim a corner for ourselves when we get there), look for the guy in the pink ATL HOE hat.

Hi everyone! I'm part of a group called Detrash Hikes ATL and twice a month we meet up to trek along local parks, trails, and nature preserves and remove what refuse we can find.

Our next detrash hike will take place at Standing Peachtree Park this Sunday, June 21st, starting at 9:30 AM and going till we run out of trash or get hungry. We will have spare trash bags, but definitely wear pants and closed-toed shoes.

We are local news famous!

If you'd like to get a quick view of our meetup and see what we are all about directly from our attendees, check out this video that WABE put together of our event.

We are also part of the larger gaming community in Atlanta and many of our members regularly attend other local board game meetups and conventions.

We do some organizing and talk games on the Metro Atlanta Tabletop Society Discord.

Feel free to join us on there as well!

What it is:

We meet every Monday night at Manuel's Tavern (602 North Highland Avenue Northeast, Atlanta, GA 30307) from 6pm to 12am to play board games. Everyone is welcome, and no prior board game experience is required. We can introduce you to new games and teach you how to play them! We are generally in the main dining room to the left when you come in the front door, and if you are having trouble finding us just ask one of Manuel's staff members and they'll point you in the right direction.

***Manuel's Tavern does not charge us to use the space, so please be sure to make a purchase or two while you are there so we can give back to Manuel's for letting us meet there!***

Don't be discouraged by the lack of sign ups on our events, we have a large contingent of regulars who aren't on social media so our signup numbers are historically low. We usally have 60+ people in the dining room playing a wide variety of games. On Monday nights, game play ranges from easy/short games (Sushi Go, Azul, etc.) to long/complex games (Wingspan, Catan, etc.) and everything in-between.

How it works:

Come prepared to be social! We do share the restaurant with dinner guests and other events, so sometimes we don't notice right away that someone is there for board games. Everyone in our group is welcoming so feel free to introduce yourself, and if you want a rundown of the event before jumping into a game you can always ask someone where the hosts are at!

With a group as large as ours and such a wide variety of games being played, we let our members organize themselves into groups for games. If show up and all the games are full, don't worry! We usually have a steady steam of people showing up for the first 2-3 hours so you won't have to wait long to get into a game. You can take that time to get dinner/drinks, chat with other gamers, see what games are being played, and browse the games everyone brought to play.
