Came here at the beginning of August 2021 when Atlanta Braves A-List members were invited to enjoy free food and entertainment at Park Bench Battery prior to a Braves home game. We had to RSVP quickly because slots for admittance to this event were very limited, and we made the cut.
The Braves' organization sales reps were at the entrance of Park Bench to check off the A-List members' names on the admittance list, and we were given a couple of tickets for canned beers, which we both used at the bar staffed with many bartenders. Attendees ordering mixed drinks had to pay for their drinks. The main event area was kind of small for the amount of people admitted, and there weren't enough high top tables and high stools for everyone, so most of the people stood. After we went to the next room, which was a lot smaller than the main event room, we got into line for the catered food, which were build your own tacos with tortillas, cheese, salsa, and rice and beans. We walked back to the big main event room and I found some counter space at a column and two tall stools for us. Our food was very good.
Our location was perfect, because we had a great view of the Dueling Pianos show that started soon after we started eating. The two guys, each playing grand pianos on the stage, took turns being the lead piano player/singer. They didn't have a set playlist, but, instead, took requests (with accompanying tips) from the A-Listers who wrote down titles of songs on pieces of paper and put them into a jar on one of the pianos. The live entertainment was fun and enjoyable, and some of attendees went to the open floorspace in front of the stage and danced during the danceable songs. The piano players/singers didn't have great voices, but they sure did a great job tickling the ivories! I noticed that they both had a little help from their electronic tablets for the lyrics that they sang (and possibly looking up sheet music?). Anyhow, they ended their set so that all of us attendees could leave to attend the game. Great event!
