If you love great food, refreshing drinks, and live music, Park Tavern in Midtown Atlanta is already a local favorite. Nestled inside Piedmont Park and along the Atlanta Beltline, we’re more than a restaurant, bar, and event venue—we’re a community hub where memorable moments happen. But come mid-September 2025, we’re stepping it up.
Shaky Knees Reunites With Park Tavern
From September 19 to 21, 2025, the Shaky Knees Music Festival returns to Piedmont Park with a lineup that includes Deftones, My Chemical Romance, Blink-182, and more. As Atlanta’s premier three-day rock festival, it brings thousands of music enthusiasts to the heart of Midtown.
