Atlanta Restaurants Hoop it Up During March
The 2023 Men’s NCAA basketball tournament is back in full swing through April 3. Starting in Dayton, Ohio, and making its way to finals in Houston, this widely watched series is the perfect time to head to a local restaurant or bar to catch all the action. From roaring atmospheres to winning menus and specials, these Atlanta restaurants are the next best thing to being courtside.
Tin Lizzy’s Cantina invites guests to grab their bracket buddies and head over to experience the games in a lively atmosphere with friendly service and numerous televisions for viewing all the games. Specials during the tournament include Margarita Monday with $4 TLC margaritas all day long; Taco Tuesday with select $2.99 tacos and $7 margaritas all day; and weekday happy hour Monday through Friday from 4-6 p.m. with $25 TLC margarita pitchers, $15 Bud Light and Dos Equis Ambar draft pitchers, $20 seltzer buckets with five cans, $6 loaded tots and $5 Georgia spiked tea.
