Our Story

About Central City Tavern

More than a restaurant. More than a bar. We're the heart of Downtown Alpharetta — where great food, craft drinks, live entertainment, and community come together under one roof.

The Atmosphere

Step through our doors and you'll feel it instantly — the buzz of conversation, the glow of amber lighting, the aroma of food fresh from the kitchen. Central City Tavern is where neighbors become friends, where date nights feel electric, and where every visit creates a new story. Our space blends modern design with classic tavern warmth, creating an atmosphere that's upscale enough for a special occasion but comfortable enough for a Tuesday night.

The Food & Drink

Our chef-driven menu goes beyond typical bar food. From hand-smashed burgers and wood-fired shareables to seasonal entrees, every dish is crafted with quality ingredients and bold flavors. Our cocktail program features hand-crafted originals, classic favorites, local craft beers on draft, and a curated wine selection.

College football Saturdays, NFL Sundays, playoff nights, and March Madness — we bring the stadium atmosphere with game-day drink specials and shareable platters.
