Big things are coming to Atlanta! New York City’s famous The Irish Exit is coming to Centennial Yards as a part of their massive revitalization plan for Downtown Atlanta ahead of the 2026 World Cup. This acclaimed modern Irish Bar concept is a New York favorite, and we can’t wait to see what it brings to the Downtown landscape of the ATL! Keep scrolling for all the details on The Irish Exit.
What is The Irish Exit?
The Irish Exit is a modern Irish pub, brought to us by the award-winning The Dead Rabbit Group in New York. The Irish Exit strives to bring contemporary Irish culture to its venues, instead of “inauthentic phaddywhackery, outdated tropes, and subpar experiences masquerading as tradition.”
Instead, The Dead Rabbit Group’s The Irish Exit celebrates modern Irish artists, brewers, and musicians, and the Ireland of today.
Brian McGowan, President of Centennial Yards Company said in a statement,
The Irish Exit exemplifies the kind of bold, hospitality-forward concepts we’re bringing to Centennial Yards. The Dead Rabbit team has redefined modern Irish hospitality on a global scale, and their decision to plant roots in Atlanta speaks volumes about the city’s rising stature as a cultural and entertainment destination.
The Dead Rabbit Group has signed a 4,735-square-foot lease for its first location outside New York City in the Entertainment District at Centennial Yards, the $5 billion, 50-acre mixed-use redevelopment transforming Downtown Atlanta.
What will The Irish Exit have to offer?
The Irish Exit brings its vision of showcasing the modern Irish culture to life by offering:
- premium cocktails
- perfect pints
- all-day dining
- a vibrant social atmosphere
The Centennial Yards location of The Irish Exit will feature a flexible indoor-outdoor layout with garage-style doors, creating a vibrant, street-level experience that amplifies the district’s momentum as a destination for dining and entertainment.
