BYOB keeps a night out affordable and lets everyone drink what they like. Here are BYOB things to do in Atlanta, plus tips for making the most of them.
1. A BYOB tattoo paint & sip
Drink & Ink is a 2-hour BYOB tattoo paint & sip in Smyrna, GA, minutes from Atlanta, Marietta and Vinings. A professional tattoo artist teaches you to tattoo on synthetic practice skin (no real skin involved) while a live DJ plays. All supplies are included, no experience is needed, and every guest is 18+.
Bring your favorite wine, beer or seltzer. Cups and water are on the table; the tattoo machines, ink and practice skin are on us.
2. BYOB art and craft classes
Many Atlanta paint, pottery and candle studios let you bring a bottle. Always check the studio's policy before you go.
3. BYOB restaurants
Some smaller restaurants around the city allow BYOB, sometimes with a corkage fee. Call ahead to confirm.
4. A park picnic
For daytime plans, pack a picnic. Check each park's rules first, since alcohol policies vary across metro Atlanta.
BYOB tips
- Bring enough for your group and something non-alcoholic.
- Every Drink & Ink guest must be 18+, and you will want a steady hand, so pace yourself.
- Plan a ride home.
