Unlike the Braves franchise, Antico doesn’t tinker with a winning formula. We appreciate that the pizzeria sticks with a strict, small menu of quality-made, wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizzas, which are always quickly delivered to our table no matter how packed the joint seems. And because of that, they always nail it. Pick anything from the menu, but the pillowy crust of their Pomodorini pie will always be our favorite.

If you’re not looking, this upscale steakhouse will blend into the background in the loud, sometimes overstimulating Battery scene. But when they open their walk-up counter for fresh shucked oysters, the red sea of fans in Braves jerseys parts just enough to let you place your order for Rochambeaus and a frozen Old Fashioned. While this to-go counter is a nice service, the upscale venue is worth dining in for cocktails and all the steakhouse favorites.

The magazine from which this olive-toned, plaid-floored restaurant gets its name fashions itself as a glossy guide to duck hunting, chili making, and other Southern pastimes. That probably explains why you feel compelled to order some fried green tomatoes and the Kentucky Tea (bourbon, peach schnapps, tea, and lemonade) the instant you plop down in your chair.

The popular Atlanta-based bagel chain has been a go-to in the city for NY-style boiled bagels since 1972. At the Battery location, you’ll find the walk-up delicatessen counter filled with a variety of their schmears, salads, and spreads (we rock with their whitefish salad). But with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, including cozy diner booths, the place is normally flooded with families and friends, dining on the full menu of burgers, omelets, waffles, and more.

With futuristic neon signs, sci-fi memorabilia, and enough TVs to stock a Best Buy, the video game restaurant makes a joke of your basement rec room. Sink into a comfy couch and let your muscle memory take over as you jam controller buttons. Soon a cotton candy-topped vodka punch, some crispy falafel, and a moist chocolate bundt cake will arrive at your table. The gaming venue turns into a late-night, 21-and-up party with DJs and themed nights.

On the quieter end of The Battery, this small, five-stall East Asian food hall and bar offers everything from bubble tea to ramen. Our favorite vendor in the group is Poke Burri, best known for their bagel-shaped sushi roll, but we almost always get the Super Poke Bowl, which is packed high with spicy tuna, salmon, crab salad, sushi rice, and other toppings.

This is a great place to pass the time with chicken empanadas to keep you company. The old metal chairs, Edison light bulbs, and large hanging plant baskets dotting the ceiling provide a relaxing backdrop to enjoy a cubano or a super bowl with beef ropa viaja. We can always find an empty seat in one of three bars—two inside and one outside. With plenty of TV’s and a massive projector screen that encompasses an entire wall of the restaurant, El Super Pan can easily shift into a sport bar.

Blue Moon Brewery & Grill is attached to Truist Stadium, so on- and offseason, it’s a good spot to live and breathe all things Braves. If you’re with a big group or just enjoy screaming at the TV while you watch a game, you’ll fit in perfectly with the noisy atmosphere. If you need some carbs and protein to soak up your Blue Moon Belgian White, they collaborate with Fox Bros. to serve menu favorites like the pulled pork sandwich and beef brisket.

Goldbergs is the best breakfast restaurant in the complex, but Cultivate has more options, particularly if you’re looking for halal, vegan-friendly, and gluten-free choices. We like the Southern classics and tasty hash scrambles. The food comes out quickly, so even the booths filled with large parties turn over as fast as the bar counter seats. It’s also the only place in Braves Country with a robust cafe menu.

If you're in Cumberland and still mourning the loss of Scalini's, the neighborhood's long-lived homestyle Italian restaurant, Eataliano is here to fill the void. Expect a similar menu of pasta usuals, but everything in this intimate space feels much lighter and brighter than the cavernous Scalini's. For starters, they have an eggplant parm that won't put you to sleep and a natural-light-filled space and patio bar that you'll want to linger in for hours.

Yard House is a great pick for an unlimited selection of beer and reliably decent bar food. The large food menu has something for literally everyone, so if you’re with your buddy who never graduated from chicken tendies or your vegan friend who is in the mood for an orange glaze stir fry, then you’re set. Your beer drinking buddies will appreciate that the big central bar has so many taps it seems more like a beer shrine than a bar.

When not booked out for a corporate event, this two-level eat-and-play venue in is a great place to bring family and friends for a more interesting pub-quality meal. In between bites of loaded fries, you can tackle everything from Nippy’s “One Moment in Time” to Nipsey’s “Dedication” in one of their private karaoke rooms. Or, if you prefer hitting pins to high notes, there’s bowling—but also ping pong, darts, and other table games.

National Anthem, with its all-American menu, is the newest concept at The Battery’s Omni hotel. And it’s a mixed bag. Their typical brunch selections are solid. Their game day menu of pub foods like burgers and nachos do the trick for those here to sop up Braves energy. And the baseball-themed space with Braves-related photos and tchotchkes is fancy enough to host a team meal for all the corporate types who stay here.

Taking many of the elements that work for Top Golf, Good Game offers a similar eat-and-play structure but adds VR simulators for golf, baseball, soccer, and more on massive projectors in private pods. We like to nibble on their respectable flatbreads and sip Old Fashioneds to power up in between zombie dodgeball sessions. And if you’re looking for something else to take your mind off another loss in the virtual quarterback challenge, give the smooth, milky Georgia Snow Cream a try.
