Ruth's Happiest Hours

Downtown Atlanta moves from meetings to museums to game night in a hurry. Ruth’s Happiest Hours gives you a polished place to pause in the middle of it all, with food specials, discounted cocktails, featured beer and wine in the Ruth’s Chris bar and lounge.

Steps from Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Centennial Olympic Park, Ruth’s Chris Steak House brings Ruth’s Happiest Hours to the heart of Downtown Atlanta — a happy hour built for gameday crowds, convention travelers and everyone in between.

Every day from 4–6:30pm, the bar and lounge inside the Embassy Suites fills with fans grabbing a bite before an evening kickoff or after an afternoon Hawks game at State Farm Arena, conference attendees decompressing after a long day at the Georgia World Congress Center, and visitors making a stop between the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coca-Cola.

 

Happy Hour pricing (in red) available in the bar/lounge only, 4-6:30pm daily.
