Coffee. Unleashed.
Who was man's best friend first? The dog? Or the coffee bean? We couldn't make our minds up, so we opened ParkGrounds – the perfect mid-dogwalk destination for Atlantans seeking a pick-me-up, a bite to eat, a quick chat with the neighbors, or in the case of those who own Huskies – a place to catch their breath.
We also have a cold cereal bar, bakery, fancypants reading material (if you're into that), and quite possibly the coolest staff in town. Got a computer? Let it loose on our free Wi-Fi connection. Whether you do or don't like coffee or have a dog, you're bound to find something you dig at ParkGrounds. Pop in sometime. We won't bite. Promise.
We're hosting the following events you won't want to miss:
We're excited to be a small part of this event. You need to check it out. Support ParkGrounds' baddest-ass little barista Philip "captain fucking magic" at the Latte Art Throw down Friday night @ Octane and cheerily root for Witt and Matt P. in the bike race (PG regulars) Saturday night.

NOTE: Our new night is the second Saturday of every month. We did this because we didn't want to compete with the VICE party at Lenny's which we forgot falls on the same night every month.
If you are unfamiliar with electronic music, SPARK! provides an opportunity for interested parties to experience it first hand in the intimate and warm setting of ParkGrounds coffee house.
This month SPARK! presents the amazing Dr. Maximilian Rheinhardt, who won the Atlanta Laptop Battle this year. If you didn't get the opportunity to see him perform at the Battle, now will be your only chance before he flies off to Seattle to compete in the nationals. Also we have DJ Dean Martin on the ones and two's, and the debut performance by Threv and R. Garcia's Improv side project, aptly called DONK
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10! 8pm - 11pm
***AS ALWAYS***
$7 Admission includes a free coffee drink.
All Ages Welcome
Dogs Welcome
BYOB Welcome
Sh*tty Attitudes Not Welcome
What're you waiting for? Get out of the (dog)house and play!
Pit Bull/Aggressive Breed Disclaimer
ParkGrounds' baristas are not trained to handle canines, conduct temperament tests, or monitor the off-leash area. Therefore, in an effort to prevent adding to the bad rap aggressive breeds such as Pit Bulls and Pit mixes already have - they are not allowed inside the off-leash area. This is best for everyone and has nothing to do with your little snookums. Email pitpolicy@parkgrounds.com for more information.Download a copy of the Dog Park Rules (PDF, 109 Kb).
