I’m in Atlanta for work this week and looking for a good place to watch the big game Wednesday night. Hopefully a place where I can cheer with some fellow Blue Devil fans. Good beer is a must.
My hotel is in Midtown (right near Ga Tech) but willing to take a short Uber for the right place.
Thanks in advance...GTHCGTH!

I'll probably just watch from home, but be sure to avoid Hudson Grille in midtown -- that's the UNC bar.

You might contact the Duke Alumni club in Atlanta. They sometimes have game viewing parties at Whitehall Tavern (on Peachtree Street, I think). Try googling both and contacting both.
I can’t give any reviews, as I have not been there.

There is usually a Duke Club of Atlanta hoops watch for the game, but I don't see one on their Facebook page. MAybe they only plan one for weekend games.
The Taco Mac in midtown can be a great place to watch games. There are plenty of TVs, a good crowd, a very large bar. When I've watched games there, I've typically seen many Duke fans.
I saw both uNC games there last year.
The address for the midtown location:
TACO MAC METROPOLIS (http://locations.tacomac.com/ga/atlanta/933-peachtree-st-ne/menu.html)
933 Peachtree St NE Atlanta, GA 30309
(678) 904-7211

I was at that Taco Mac for the Champions Classic last year, but haven't been for a Duke-UNC game. Curious what the fan interaction is like, since it's directly across the street from Hudson Grille.

The game watch for this one is going to be at Whitehall Tavern - http://www.whitehall-tavern.com/
Depending on whether they give the Duke club the back room or not it can be a bit cramped, just FYI

In general, that's a very good location for sports viewing, and as I recall, the unc fan quotient is negligible.
That being said, I learned quite a while ago that watching *this* game in public is unwise for me.

Ha! I was almost evicted from a brewery/bar/restaurant in Chicago after the spurious blocking call on Carter in OT during the Duke-KU game last spring. :mad:

It's not on the Duke-Atlanta facebook page. Is it an official watch party?
As for Taco Mac being across from Hudson Grille, the times I was at Taco Mac I didn't even know uNC watched across the street. I may have seen a few fans on the street afterwards, but no issues.
