Backyard Barbecue & Brews

Heaven.
I think I could end my review right there, I’ll provide more details though.
This was a major highlight of my trip to Atlanta. I purchased ticket in advance, how can I not? $ 25 a ticket for four hours of unlimited beer, bbq, and sunshine??? Damn! This was a no brainer.
Placed on top of the hill that faced the main stage, it was a great place to enjoy the music as well. There lots of seating, some of which was covered. No worries, if it bothered you, you can always move a seat back by the main tent which is what we started. People followed, unfortunately. I don’t mind, but please if your going to sit next to me. Don’t sit or stand right on top of me, and please don’t proceed to have a loud conversation I my ear. That was the only downfall of an amazing time.
Drinks were plentiful. Most were sample size, but you can go back for seconds, thirds, twentieths, whatever. I got to sample some top notch local brews and some favorites of mine.
Food was unreal. The brisket soft shell tacos were godly. JD’s chicken and ribs were fantastic. So much food. I’m still feeling the weight repercussions two weeks later.
I don’t know how this event will stay this cheap or that under the radar, and I’m ashamed for bringing it to light, but it honestly was an unbelievable time and deserves every positive thing said about it.

So much fun! The price of admission is totally worth it!

I loved this! Private area for food and beverage tasting. It overlooked the main stage, so the music was a plus! The super fabulous bathrooms were awesome. It would have been 5 stars if the had a little more variety in the food and if they had enough food to serve the whole time. They stopped (ran out) before the end.
Unilocal was there an the Unilocal staff was great!

One of the Dogwood festival’s greatest planed event since 2012’s friends of Dogwood which used to be held in the pavillion. Great food, wine and beers and Tennessee Moonshine (yes moonshine).Met some new friends and a few old ones. WE have been going to the Dogwood since 2007 and always had a great time with the exception of 2013 when someone decided to have the VIP event for $ 100+ and I just did the main vendors and free shows around the park. This should show the planners for this event that this is what the people want for VIP at this event every year.

This part of the Dogwood festival was awesome!!! This was my first time going to the Dogwood festival and we opted to buy tickets for the VIP tents. I love events where you just pay one admission price and get free unlimited tastings of beer, wine, and food. There was also a table for moonshine and vodka. The private air-​conditioned bathrooms were a definite plus!
There were plenty of tables to sit at so you didn’t have to walk around for hours. I also loved how this area was set –up very close to one of the music stages. We had a lot of fun and I hope this is available for the Dogwood festival next year!

This was an excellent addition to the Dogwood Festival!
