“Levy has been nothing short of an incredible partner for the Hawks and State Farm Arena since we opened,” Chef Garvin said in a statement. “We couldn’t be more excited to extend our partnership as we work together to find ways to provide the best food and beverage experience for all fans and concertgoers alike.”
Andy Lansing, CEO of Levy, highlighted the local focus of the collaboration. “Atlanta is a city with an unmistakable identity and Southern soul,” he said. “Our longstanding partnership with the Hawks and State Farm Arena is built on a deep connection to the community, and we’re so proud to continue celebrating the diverse food scene that makes Atlanta such an extraordinary place.”
Levy has served as State Farm Arena’s official hospitality partner for more than 20 years. The companies have collaborated on menu items that reflect Atlanta’s culture, and Levy has supported the venue’s sustainability efforts, including its zero-waste initiatives. New items this season include specialty burgers, nachos, crafted mocktails, dirty sodas, and additional options.
Bocado Pizza, recognized as Atlanta Magazine’s Best New Restaurant in 2024, specializes in artisan, hand-made, wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizza using specialty flour imported from Italy. “We’re incredibly excited to bring Bocado Pizza to State Farm Arena and to be part of the energy and excitement surrounding the Atlanta Hawks,” said Brian Lewis, the restaurant’s founder and restaurateur. “This partnership is a fantastic opportunity to share our commitment to quality, handcrafted sourdough wood-fired pizza with fans and guests while supporting two iconic Atlanta institutions.”
Irie Mon Caribbean Café marks the first Caribbean restaurant on the State Farm Arena concourse. The Black-owned business, whose name means “everything is blessed” in Jamaican Patois, serves authentic Jamaican cuisine and has multiple locations across Atlanta. “From our roots in Jamaica to multiple locations across Atlanta, Irie Mon Cafe is proud to expand to State Farm Arena,” said co-founder Payton Williams. “Our bold Jamaican flavors will have you talking long after the final buzzer, and we hope fans and concertgoers alike come visit us and experience a true taste of Jamaica.”
