Outdoor eatery with yard games, live music, and cocktails
"A sprawling, dog-friendly beer garden with room to move, this converted mechanic garage keeps the days lively with frequent events, an Echo Room listening lounge, and parties like Skip Day (monthly afternoon DJs, drinks, and dancing), Boom Bap (kicking off at 3 p.m. with rotating DJs spinning classic hip-hop), and Mother May I, an all-ages dance party created by DJ—and mom—Ash Lauryn that even welcomes the kids." - Caroline Eubanks
"We usually head to Westside Motor Lounge when we want to heckle shuffleboard or cornhole players while sipping a frozen Pink Cadillac Margarita. Three auto repair shops were revamped to create this spacious eat-and-play complex that features two bars, a roomy seating area, and sprawling green space with yard games. The massive outdoor area is the perfect spot for large groups or for when your four-legged friends want to join in an outing. Aside from the relaxed outdoor oasis, it’s worth a pit stop here for their creamy, five-cheese mac—our favorite thing on the menu, thanks to jalapeño cornbread crumbles that add a tiny burst of spiciness and crunch. But our runner-up is the juicy smash burger, which has a good-sized patty despite being smashed on the grill." - nina reeder, demarco williams, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"The Westside Motor Lounge is a former auto repair space that’s now a spacious eat-and-play complex with two bars, a roomy seating area, and sprawling green space with yard games. Grab one of their strong cocktails like the frozen Pink Cadillac Margarita, then find a good spot (and there are plenty) to post up and spectate all the gaming action. When you’ve finally mustered the courage to try your hand at shuffleboard or cornhole, just know the kitchen is waiting on you with a juicy smash burger and five-cheese mac with jalapeño cornbread crumbles if ever/whenever you’re all played out." - nina reeder, demarco williams, juli horsford, jacinta howard

It’s open every Wednesday to Sunday through New Year’s Eve. The indoor/outdoor space will be slinging holiday-themed drinks." - Su-Jit Lin
"Hosting the Attack of the Killer Tomato Festival, Westside Motor Lounge will be the site where chefs and bartenders craft tomato dishes and cocktails with local Georgia farm produce for this popular tasting event." - Henna Bakshi
