Upscale eatery brings modern American cuisine to Atlanta’s premier entertainment district
The Battery Atlanta continues to sizzle as a premier destination for dining, entertainment and social experiences with J. Alexander’s preparing to join the lineup in spring 2026. Since entering the Georgia market in 2001, the fine-dining restaurant known for its wood-fired grill, fresh seafood, exceptional steaks, chef-curated entrees and signature cocktails has continued to expand, and its upcoming metro Atlanta opening will mark the brand’s third location in the area.
The 8,000-square-foot restaurant will operate seven days a week, offering handcrafted cocktails, an extensive wine list and signature American cuisine such as prime rib, hand-cut steaks, fresh seafood and sandwiches. The brand is known for its unwavering attention to detail, with each dish and drink crafted to deliver a sophisticated yet approachable experience.

We aim to become a go-to spot for locals, visitors and game-day crowds alike.”
Located across from CRU Food & Wine Bar on Battery Walk, J. Alexander’s adds to the dynamic atmosphere of The Battery Atlanta, enhancing a destination already known for its top-tier dining, shopping and entertainment experiences. Guests can look forward to a polished yet inviting ambiance, along with a private dining room suited for everything from casual get-togethers to special celebrations.
