The downtown Atlanta-Vine City revitalization continues as Hard Rock International recently announced Reverb by Hard Rock, a new hotel concept that will be located in downtown Atlanta.
Reverb by Hard Rock will be part of a new brand of music-centric hotels “designed as contemporary hubs where modern music lovers can connect and create,” the company said in a news release.
Located adjacent to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Reverb is tentatively planned to open in February 2020.
“Reverb by Hard Rock will spotlight the guest in a whole new way and create a place for those who eat, sleep and breathe music to unite and collaborate,” Todd Hricko, senior vice president for Hard Rock Hotels, said in the release. “Atlanta is the perfect location for our first Reverb, as it is rich in music history, spanning from the greats like Ray Charles and the Black Crowes to current popular artists like Ludacris, Usher, Ciara and John Mayer.”
Atlanta-based companies Bolton Atlanta, LP and Hotel Equities (HE) will develop and manage the hotel, which is expected to significantly lift the clout of the nearby Castleberry Hills neighborhood.
“We’re proud to announce our collaboration with Hard Rock International in launching the inaugural Reverb by Hard Rock,” said Frank Chen, chief operating officer of Bolton Atlanta, LP. “The area’s energetic atmosphere and history of embracing artistic endeavors aligns well with the Reverb by Hard Rock hotel product.”

Serving to-die-for cornbread, greens and choice meats, a new eatery opened in metro Atlanta in 2018 and it’s been kind of a big (and good) deal.
Ms. Icey’s Kitchen & Bar, a restaurant from Sim Walker, the proprietor of Midtown’s Negril Village, opened in a modest shopping center at 1371 Clairemont Road in Decatur, 30333.
It quickly became one of the best black-owned restaurants in Atlanta.
The restaurant has a lively, familial atmosphere. On Ms. Icey’s Instagram page, there are several pictures of close friends, family and associates.
When I visited I had the brown stew chicken and rice, which were exceptional. Most of the dishes come in a black skillet, giving the customer a down-home sort of vibe about the kitchen, as if your Grandma was cooking in the rear.
I also had a margarita, which was a spirited cloudly drink made fresh from the bar. I had another.
The eatery’s Instagram page says, “ms.iceyskitchenThis is Marva, Ms. Chan, and Ms. Karlene on one Carrot Juice! Plus they made Ms. Icey’s recipe. You don’t get this just like that. This is years of tradition and experience going into one Carrot Juice! Trying to tell y’all. This a magic moment and plenty more are coming. @ms.iceyskitchen.
We look forward to going to Ms. Icey’s again and experiencing it once again.
Final Word
Atlanta continues to be a place with plentiful things to do, see and eat! If you like that part of town, don’t sleep on College Park either.
