Alpharetta’s Dining Scene
In Alpharetta, diners will find a unique foodie culture with culinary influences from nearby Atlanta plus downhome, Southern traditions from the surrounding North Georgia mountain towns. A true hidden gem, the city is home to an eclectic blend of eateries serving from everything from a legendary steak at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse to craft cocktails at Central City Tavern to made-from-scratch biscuits and gravy at The Southern Porch. With over 200 dining options from chef-driven restaurants to locally owned eateries, Alpharetta doesn’t disappoint the palate.
Those looking for a more hands-on experience can create mouthwatering dishes at one of the city’s four distinguished cooking schools: Salud! Cooking at Whole Foods Avalon, Williams Sonoma, Sur La Table and Publix Aprons Cooking School. For even more culinary adventures, there are Alpharetta events centered around local cuisine like the Alpharetta Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings starting in April and the Taste of Alpharetta on Thursday, May 7.
Alpharetta’s Music Scene
While Alpharetta gets ample attention for its quality dining reputation, something to note about the destination is the live music landscape. From upbeat beachy cover bands to soulful country crooners, djembe-driven beats to otherworldly funk, Alpharetta is your go-to for live music in cool venues.
Music lovers can catch some of the largest tours of the year at the 12,000-capactiy Ameris Bank Amphitheatre, where artists like Alanis Morissette, Kesha, and Dave Matthews Band are making appearances during the 2020 season. For more intimate performances, visitors can check out the lineup at Matilda’s Under the Pines where Americana music is played in an open, outdoor venue or they can cozy up and be entertained in a private acoustic Jazz “living room” setting at The Velvet Note.
Alpharetta also has an array of free live music offerings that will please music enthusiasts. The Home by Dark’s Summer Concert Series at Brooke Street Park runs from May to September and encourages guests to bring chairs, blankets and picnics to enjoy along with their family-friendly performances. Also, Avalon Nights Live features free live music in The Plaza every Friday beginning in April and running until October. Plus, thanks to the Alpharetta Music City -Music Match Concerts, restaurants and local venues all over the city host live music for everyone to enjoy year-round. This newly launched program by the City of Alpharetta works by matching local musicians with area businesses to bring talent to stages around town.
“We invite foodies and music lovers from around the Southeast to come and enjoy Alpharetta’s flourishing culinary and music scenes,” said Janet Rodgers, president and CEO of the Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau. “There’s never a dull moment in Alpharetta with so many options of things to do.
