Atlanta didn't invent chicken wings, but she perfected them! Most restaurants in the city offer some type of wings, and you'll find decent flavors just about anywhere. But the very best wings aren't anywhere bougie.
On this tour, you'll try out wings at family-run restaurants and takeout joints and finish at Magic City, Atlanta's legendary strip club that also happens to have a serious kitchen. Lemon pepper wings are Atlanta's signature flavor and a staple on the tour, but we'll also sample a variety of flavors from hot buffalo to soy garlic plus some wild flavors along the way.
Come hungry, but pace yourself! You don't want to get full at the first stop. And bring some ones to tip the Magic City ladies!
Guests must be 21 years or older. No exceptions.
There is a dress code for the final stop, Magic City. "Casual and sophisticated. No flip flops or tank tops. Ladies must be tasteful," which just means that women can't dress like they dance there.
An Atlanta landmark since 1984! If you watched the tv series, "Atlanta," then you've seen this spot before in Season 1, when Paper Boi is given the off-menu item: a box with a heavenly glow... This was one of the first places to offer lemon pepper wet wings. Originally named "fester" wings, this is a mix of lemon pepper dry rub and buffalo sauce. This stop also has a basic bar serving beer, cider, seltzers, and a limited cocktail menu.
Next up is Pelicana, a South Korean chain that started in 1979 but just moved into Atlanta in 2023. The wings are delicately breaded, double-fried, sweet, spicy, and sticky! There is a full bar here with signature and classic cocktails.
Our first stop, The Bando, is one of the newer players in the wing game here. But they came in guns ablazin' with their signature "crack wings." As you might imagine, they're pretty addictive! Crack wings come in a variety of flavors, but they always have a little crack (powdered sugar) on top!
Our final stop is Magic City, strip club with an amazing kitchen. Magic City regularly takes the #1 or #2 spot on every list of Atlanta's best wings (Google them lists if you don't believe me!)
More than just a strip club, this a cultural landmark for Atlanta and the wider hip hop community. This is where the worlds of musicians, athletes, politicians, and journalists all overlap. Stacy Abrams launched her "get out the vote" campaign here, and rapper who's anyone will premier their new single here.
There is a dress code for entry. Please read the full tour description for details.
Meet at the entrance of our first stop, The Original J.R. Crickets in Midtown. Please note that there is more than one J.R. Crickets location in Atlanta. We meet at the Midtown location on North Avenue!
