ABOUT
Just east of the Atlanta BeltLine and six miles from downtown, the city of Decatur is 4.7 square miles packed with more than 200 great reasons to visit. And our downtown square ranks number #2 on 2021 USA TODAY's 10 Best Readers' Choice travel awards for Best Public Square. It's the perfect starting point for exploring DeKalb County and all of metro Atlanta.
DINING
Foodies flock here for our critically acclaimed restaurants including many of Creative Loafing’s Best of Atlanta experiences – The White Bull (best new restaurant), Chai Pani (best Indian food), Brick Store Pub (the second-best beer bar in America), and Kimball House (best oysters, best service).
SHOPPING
Experience standout shopping at charming storefronts including Little Shop of Stories (best book store) and Worthmore Jewelers (best jewelry store). Check out local favorites like Bleu Hanger for women’s fashion and Sq/Ft for whimsical and snarky home goods.
ART
There’s plenty more to peruse on and around the square in between nibbling, sipping, and shopping! Enjoy a stroll and take in our Decatur Artway public art series, with five sculptures installed around downtown and five on view in Oakhurst Village south of the square.
Look down for Secret Doors Decatur and #lookupdecatur for artworks installed on light poles. Murals pop up in unexpected places, and buskers bring music to our tree-shaded sidewalks.
NIGHTLIFE
Make the after-hours scene here for live music, comedy, and hand-crafted cocktails. Rising stars perform at Eddie’s Attic where the Indigo Girls, Sugarland, and John Mayer played in their early days (and still drop by for surprise visits).
Then unwind with after-after-dinner drinks. Sample the beer offerings at any of the pubs around the square (including the famous Brick Store Pub) or try Twain's Brewpub & Billiards for very local pours. Munch a midnight snack at Victory Sandwich Bar or head to The S.O.S. Tiki Bar around back for a tropical nightcap.
