Celebrate the Holidays at Johnny’s Hideaway, Atlanta’s Living Room
When the holidays roll around, Atlantans crave comfort, connection and a touch of nostalgia—and no place delivers that better than Johnny’s Hideaway. Think of it as Atlanta’s Living Room, this Buckhead institution has been bringing generations together since 1979 with timeless tunes, familiar faces and the kind of warmth that makes everyone feel like they belong.
This holiday season, Johnny’s is opening its doors at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving night, ready to welcome anyone looking to keep the celebration going. Whether you’re stopping by after dinner, meeting friends home for the holidays or simply need a place that feels like family, Johnny’s sets the perfect scene for togetherness.
It’s also the perfect spot to show off a bit of Atlanta charm to out-of-town guests. Decked in festive Christmas décor, Johnny’s glows even brighter during the season—and with plenty of holiday “spirits” behind the bar, there’s no shortage of ways to keep warm from the inside out.
Inside, guests find holiday comfort wrapped in twinkling lights and classic décor. Bartenders greet regulars and newcomers alike, while the dance floor fills with everyone from 20-somethings to grandparents grooving to hits from every decade. It’s a place where tradition lives on, not in the stuffy sense, but in the shared joy of good music, great company and genuine hospitality.
At a time when people want to feel connected more than ever, Johnny’s Hideaway continues to be the city’s go-to gathering spot for making memories that last long after the last song fades.
