NEW open container policy!

Chamblee becomes the latest municipality in the Atlanta metro area to allow outdoor alcohol consumption in its entertainment district!

Starting June 1, 2023, you can purchase alcohol from a licensed establishment in downtown Chamblee and carry it with you, as long as you adhere to the ordinance guidelines.

Here’s what you need to know:

Hours for outdoor alcohol consumption are 9 a.m to 10 p.m.

Open containers are prohibited outside those hours.

You still must be 21 or older to purchase alcohol.

Alcohol-licensed restaurants will dispense your drink in a clearly marked plastic cup.

Beer and wine cannot exceed 16 fluid ounces; for distilled spirits it’s 12 ounces.

You cannot bring your own alcohol to the city for open container consumption.

Dining in downtown Chamblee

In case you don’t know, downtown Chamblee has shrugged off its “Antique Row” reputation to become a bustling restaurant scene. Take advantage of these dining options, all located within a walkable area:

You may bring your own food — except for alcohol. If you bring a cooler, it must be small enough to fit under a chair, and no larger than a 30-quart capacity. Note that your bags and coolers are subject to search.

Getting to the downtown Chamblee business district

Downtown Chamblee is embracing transit-oriented development — and the business district is an easy walk from the Chamblee MARTA Station.

If you live anywhere on the Gold Line, MARTA is a no-brainer.

Get off at Chamblee Station, then follow the signs pointing to the buses (not to Chamblee Tucker Rd) to exit the platform. In the middle of the station, one level below, you’ll find a short covered walkway that is marked Peachtree Rd. This is the shortest walk to the concert.

(TL;DR version — if you take the train, do not exit the station via the front door! Find the walkway to Peachtree Rd and the back door.)

Parking

There is a limited amount of parking in the Chamblee downtown business district. Please find an alternative means of transportation, other than driving!
