Tuesday, November 4th: Election Day

Hey guys! It's Tuesday, which means the poll results are in: the best Bloody Mary in Atlanta comes from...

Best Bloody Mary: The Nook on Piedmont Park

I have to be honest, I couldn't actually bring myself to try one of these massive concoctions, made with three shots of pepper flavored vodka, house-made Bloody Mary mix, topped with pepperoncinis, jalapeños, tater tots, steak, a slice of toast, lemon, lime, a hard-boiled egg, and served with a beef straw to drink through. It's an $18 drink, but as one Yelper pointed out, it's pretty much the only thing you need to eat or drink for lunch that day.

Address: 1144 Piedmont Avenue Hours: M-W 11am - 12am, Thurs-Fri 11am-1am, Sat 10am-1am, Sun 10am-12am

Bloody Mary served all day, every day!

Music

Music Highlight: STS9 with Michael Menert (Pretty Lights Music) at The Tabernacle

No band has sold out the historic Tabernacle more than Sound Tribe Sector 9 over the past decade. With three and four-night New Years runs (and one year five) in the storied church-turned-venue to round out most of the last eleven years, to say STS9 is in their comfort zone in the hometown venue (they claim both Santa Cruz, CA and ATL as home these days) would be a vast understatement. The band arrives to town for their first ever show with new bassist Alana Rocklin (previously touring bassist for Jim James and her own outfit Sub-ID) and a renewed sense of purpose that has re-stoked excitement for the band and fanbase. Few bands more seamlessly meld the audio and visual experience in a singular way better than STS9 and their expert lighting director. Whether attending one night or both, even longtime, hardcore traveling fans have something to be extra excited about looking forward to this weekend run.

Music Highlight: An Evening with The Chris Robinson Brotherhood at Center Stage Theatre

The psych/country/blues rock outfit is known for their lengthy two set shows, generally featuring a nice mix of original material (check the twangy and tastefully groovy “Rosalee”) from Chris Robinson’s illustrious 25 year career and a handful of covers.

Tuesday, October 28th

Hey guys! It’s Tuesday, which means it’s time for the results of the poll, I asked you guys what you thought the best haunted house in the area was, and you said…

Best Haunted House: The Atlanta Zombie Apocalypse

"Atlanta Zombie Apocalypse is an immersive attraction like nothing you have seen or experienced before! This isn't a leisurely stroll through a haunted house, this will feel like you are in a horror movie, running in and out of abandoned buildings, up and down stairs, through a two-story motel, ransacked stores and destroyed businesses. You will cover a lot of ground as you flee from the living dead who want to eat your brains! THE APOCALYPSE: Approximately 25 minutes long, this is our MAIN ATTRACTION! Run for your life as you try to escape a deadly outbreak! ZOMBIE SHOOT: Arm yourself with a paintball gun and 50 rounds of ammo, and fight your way through a pitch black hotel maze battling undead beasts! Aim for the head! The Zombie Shoot is 5-10 minutes long, and requires participants to sign a waiver."

Open: October 30th, 31st, at 8pm. Prices: $25 for each attraction or $45 for both.

Shout out to the person who wrote in "Lucky Buddha."

Check out other stuff you guys have voted The Best here!

There was a lackluster response to the last poll, presumably because there aren't that many haunted houses, but hopefully this week will strike up more interest, especially since it was a reader's suggestion! Who serves the best Bloody Mary in Atlanta?
