Punch Bowl Social Opening Soon at The Battery in Cobb

Add another notch to SunTrust Park and its surrounding businesses as the place to be this year.

Punch Bowl Social, known as a forerunner in the “eatertainment” movement, announced recently that it will open a 27,000 square-foot “food and games” concept in The Battery Atlanta on March 24, 2018.

The eatery will feature made-from-scratch cuisine, craft beer and vintage video games, according to a 2017 press release.

A short walk to SunTrust Park, the Braves’ new stadium, The Battery is a mixed-use development featuring shopping, restaurants and townhomes. While the entire development won’t be ready for business by Opening Day, much of it will, city leaders have said.

Punch Bowl Social joins other venerable eateries around the new ballpark, such as Antico’s Pizza and “Mex-Tex” concept El Feliz. Celebrity chef Hugh Acheson joins the Punch Bowl project as “culinary advisor,” the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Punch Bowl Social founder and CEO Robert Thompson said that the city has been a prime market for a while now.“Atlanta has a unique mix of urban sophistication and southern charm,” he said, according to the AJC.
