It's amazing how much fun stuff there is to do in Decatur now, and 10 years ago it got mentioned with College Park and East Point.
Willy,
I drove past Northside Tavern a lot when I lived off Defoor, but I never went in. Obviously I will have to change that.
Also, your "TRIPLE CROWN OF ATLANTA" is kinda similar but not really to an event a group I used to do with a group of friends of mine about 6 times a year. Every now and then the stars aligned and you could hit 3 fun/cheap drinking opportunities in 8 hours.
The Triumvirate
1)
Sweetwater Brewery Tour - This used to start at 4:20 on Mondays and Thursdays but has since moved to an impossibly late 5:30 start. It cost $6 to get a 16oz glass and 3 tickets for any beer you wanted. Then the fourth beer cost you a $1 tip to the nicest beer girl.
2)
Braves Game - Only 7 o'clock or later home games need apply here. $5 walk up tickets and $2/person parking. Not a bad deal, which is important when you're paying $8 a pop for the beers in the stadium.
3)
Peachtree Tavern - Bonus points for a Monday because you could then do karaoke, which is a blast here. The requirement here is house shots, which will vary from $2 to $5 a pop depending on the day, bartender, and how much you complain about the ridiculousness of $5 house shots.
