In Events & Entertainment, Food + Drink

You know the mark of a truly amazing night is one when you just aren’t ready to go home. Dinner was excellent, the conversation sparkled with laughter, the vibes were so good, and now—well, now all that’s left to do is to figure out where to go next. Fortunately, Alpharetta is home to plenty of places to keep the party going strong. Here are a few of our favorite picks for late (and later) night fun!

If you’re looking for a little friendly competition, be sure to check out the boutique bowling (featuring shorter lanes, smaller balls, and heavier pins). Meanwhile, those craving the rhythm of the night will dig live music six nights a week—from doowop cover bands to dueling pianos and just about every musical genre in between come to play at this millennial take on the speakeasy.
