In Events & Entertainment, Food + Drink
Between internal meetings, Teams meetings, Slack meetings, client meetings, and meetings that could have been emails, by the time 5 PM rolls around, you’ve more than earned an adult beverage and a safe space to kick back and relax with your coworkers. Fortunately, Alpharetta has some seriously legit locales for happy hours where you can celebrate a job well done or relish in the wins achieved at work. Here’s six of our fave post-work hangs:
1. Fairway Social
Whether you’re Tiger-esque or totally novice, Fairway Social offers fairway fun complete with tasty cocktails. Here you’ll find 11 Full Swing ™ simulators, allowing you to transport to over 150 world-renowned courses, plus 15 other games ranging from basketball, football, lacrosse, zombie dodgeball, and more. Fairway Social also offers a Back 9 Putting Green, Rooftop Bar, Media Room with 11 TVs showing all the action, ACL Cornhole Leagues, and watch parties. Round up your cherished work friends and get your golf swing on!

2. Roaring Social
After putting in 8+ hours, you deserve to embrace the “a little party never killed nobody” vibe. Channel your inner Gatsby by hitting up Roaring Social, an ultra-cool speakeasy hidden behind the façade of RoSo Clothiers. Featuring seasonal libations, classic cocktails, and specialty beverages like the Flappers Fancy (Ketel One Grapefruit, rose botanicals, Aperol, lemon juice, and homemade honey cordial) and the Float On (High West Double Rye, pineapple amaro, cherry vanilla bitters, and rootbeer foam) plus boutique bowling, alcohol-absorbing small bites, and live music, Roaring Social is an ode to the raucous side of the ‘20s and the perfect place to blow off some steam after quittin’ time.

3. Taffer’s Tavern
Owned by SpikeTV’s “Bar Rescue” star and bar/nightlife consultant Jon Taffer, Taffer’s Tavern offers modern “Cheers” energy with comfortable seats, creative drinks, and friendly bartenders. Saddle up to the bar, order a perfect sous vide burger or steak plus a citrusy Cloud 9 (one of Taffer’s famed cocktails), and get ready to take a collective exhale with your favorite coworkers as you achieve a state of relaxed revelry.

4. Barleygarden Kitchen & Craft Bar
Bring home the bacon and then bring yourself to Barleygarden for epic charcuterie boards and an ever-evolving list of international beers on draught. This locally beloved bar and kitchen offers an open-air rooftop bar overlooking bustling Avalon boutiques and restaurants. A prime perch for people-watching plus cured meats and cheeses paired with a cold one (or two)? Yes, please!

5. TopGolf
Clock out and zero in on fun by whacking microchipped golf balls at giant targets on an outfield (the high-tech balls instantly score each shot’s accuracy and distance) for instant stress relief. Bar bites like wings, nachos, burgers, and tots along with thirst quenchers like mojitos, margs, and spiked lemonades keep things lively, but if you’re really looking to “par-tee,” you can order a shareable, sippable Golfbag filled with either the Boozy Cherry Limeade or Blue Coconut Marg served in a take-home mug.

6. Dave & Buster’s
Looking for an escape from the daily grind in the form of nostalgic fun? Dave & Buster’s has entered the chat. Swap spreadsheets for skeeball and conference calls for classic arcade games—Dave & Buster’s is designed for tapping into your inner child. With a massive menu and a fully stocked bar, you can refuel and refresh while playing the newest video games and old-school favorites. Team up, unwind, and rediscover the thrill of racking up points for classic arcade prizes.
