ATLANTA, GA – Lunch Box, a new event space and nightclub with gaming elements, is open at Underground Atlanta at 50 Lower Alabama Street, Atlanta, GA 30303. The venue operates Fridays and Saturdays and targets expanded hours in early 2027, co-owner Kerian Neely told Business Debut.

What to Expect

Lunch Box sits beside MJQ Concourse and Masquerade as a third large-scale nightlife venue in the Underground Atlanta district, Neely shared with Business Debut in a phone interview. The concept blends a nightclub with a social gaming environment, which Neely described as a "playground" for adults.

The space includes games such as pingpong, Connect Four, giant Jenga, cornhole and basketball. Neely said the goal is to provide an experience built around music, bars, dancing and interactive activities in one location.

Lunch Box features two rooms with different atmospheres. The main room holds about 500 people and the second room holds about 300.

Neely described the design as "cyberpunk meets 'Blade Runner' meets man cave" with a cinematic feel. Both rooms have full bars and an accessible cocktail program.

Neely said the team offers a range of drink prices from affordable options to premium selections. The venue welcomes a broad mix of guests and dress styles.

Ownership Background

Neely was previously the owner-operator of The Music Room, a live music venue and nightclub on Edgewood Avenue that ran from 2014 until 2020. The Music Room closed during the pandemic.

Neely’s business partner, Eyal Reisin, owns several other Atlanta venues, including Bar South, Beso, Ember and Establishment. Neely said this combined experience in local nightlife informs the approach at Lunch Box.

Opening Timeline

Lunch Box is open and operating on Fridays and Saturdays. Neely said the team plans to expand to a Wednesday through Sunday schedule starting in early 2027.
