Football Fans Touch Down at Johnny's Hideaway for Pre- and Post-Game Revelry

At Johnny’s Hideaway, ice-cold drinks, late-night grub, a lively crowd and irresistible tunes make for a game day matchup that no football fan could resist. Atlanta’s oldest nightclub welcomes guests who are gearing up for longstanding rivalries, grieving their favorite team’s loss or toasting to a victory. From college game day to Monday night football to thirsty Thursday, this Buckhead hotspot always serves up a memorable time.

During daytime games, guests can kick off the fun by watching the action on one of Johnny’s televisions while enjoying some classic American bar fare (think tater tots, wings, potato skins, nachos and a selection of sandwiches) because every cheering section requires tasty fuel. The kitchen is open until 2 a.m. for post-game snacks as well.

At Johnny’s, it’s easy to continue the fun into the evening with drinks and dancing courtesy of the best bartenders and DJs in town. Need to tackle post-game blues after a tough loss? Johnny’s has just the recipe: a few good friends, a stiff cocktail and a spin on the dance floor. The veteran bar staff serves drinks at warp speed while the experienced DJs can convince any crowd to dance with old-school funk and disco, 80s favorites and modern-day hits.

Sports fans aren’t the only ones who appreciate the guaranteed good times at Johnny’s. Although every guest who walks through the door is treated like a VIP, several professional athletes have also visited the iconic nightclub in search of fun, including former baseball player Roger Clemens, Los Angeles Dodger (and former Atlanta Braves MVP) Freddie Freeman, former NBA player Scottie Pippen, NFL quarterbacks Matt Ryan and Matthew Stafford, boxing champ Evander Holyfield and Venezuelan soccer player Josef Martinez. Even analyst and former NBA player Charles Barkley has been spotted at the popular nightclub.
