Your 3rd Spot to Offer Monthly Membership to Neighborhood Superfans

In less than a year and a half, Your 3rd Spot has firmly established itself as Atlanta’s No. 1 destination for meeting new people and forging new friendships while enjoying globally inspired small plates, handcrafted cocktails and, of course, over 80 games ranging from board games to video games, bowling and state-of-the-art curling.

Now, the city’s premier social dining destination is taking the entire experience up a notch with new monthly memberships for neighbors who live within three miles of Your 3rd Spot. “Those in our community are more than our guests. They are our neighbors and an important part of our larger community,” says Your 3rd Spot co-founder and chief innovation officer Doug Warner. “In a world that’s increasingly reclusive and divisive, we are offering a friendly and welcoming place they can drop by at their leisure to relax, conversate, connect and find common ground.”

Memberships for Your 3rd Spot neighbors include exclusive benefits during membership hours—all day Sunday-Thursday and late night on Friday and Saturday:

  • Daily Member Experiences Pass: Members get entry and access to Your 3rd Spot’s incredible array of games and entertainment.

  • Low-Cost Bowling: Members enjoy half-price bowling anytime.

  • Guest Passes: Members can bring a friend to experience Your 3rd Spot for free with one complimentary guest pass per month.

“Our name is derived from sociologist Ray Oldenburg’s concept of ‘the third place,’” says Warner. “From day one, our goal has been to establish ourselves as a true home away from home after your first spot (home) and second spot (work). It’s a place where strangers and newcomers can find common ground and feel connected as a part of a community that thrives on shared experiences. Offering our neighbors an affordable and accessible opportunity to become members is the natural progression toward that goal.”

Neighbor memberships are available to fans who live within three miles of Your 3rd Spot—“our guests who can get the maximum value from memberships and make us their true third place,” Warner says. “Members can visit almost anytime they want without having to buy a new Experiences Pass each time and enjoy unlimited games and the complete Your 3rd Spot experience for one affordable monthly price.”

Recurring memberships are available beginning May 15, with individual memberships priced at $59.99 per month and two-person memberships available for $99.99. Memberships are valid anytime Sunday-Thursday, after 11:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and anytime except during special full-facility or ticketed events, which will be announced on social media as they occur. Reservations are recommended ahead of time to ensure a seamless experience.

“It’s an amazing value for our regulars who visit us often or who want to visit even more,” Warner says. “We want our members to feel a sense of personal attachment, to truly feel that we are their third spot and to provide an accessible, inviting and affordable experience whenever the need for community strikes. At the end of the day, we want our members to truly feel that they are a part of the Your 3rd Spot family and become true believers in our mission for this special place.”

Guests must also be 21 or older to be eligible for membership. “We hope to be able to offer family memberships later this year,” Warner says.

Your 3rd Spot memberships are accessible at your3rdspot.com/membership and can be canceled at any time via the profile section of the guest’s membership page. For more information, please visit your3rdspot.com.
