Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) today announced the opening of a new restaurant in the Airport's Domestic atrium, The A Bar & Grill on October 16. Named as a nod to the city of Atlanta, The A Bar & Grill is an upscale casual dining concept curated and developed by global restaurateur HMSHost exclusively for ATL.

Formally Atlanta Chophouse and Brewery, The A Bar & Grill menu features American fare with an array of options ranging from elevated steakhouse dishes, such as steak au poivre to salmon Oscar, to a variety of Southern classics like buttermilk-fried chicken and biscuits and gravy. 

"We strive to offer our passengers and guests new and distinctive offerings as they travel through ATL," said ATL Deputy General Manager and Chief Commercial Officer Jai Ferrell. "The opening of The A Bar & Grill is one of many exciting changes to come from the ATL Skypointe Reimagined project, as we continue to elevate the customer experience.”

“HMSHost developed The A Bar & Grill to cater to the unique desires and needs of the traveler at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. With so many ‘bleisure’ travelers flying to or through the Airport daily, we tailored the menu to provide them with a wide range of high-quality food and beverage options, so they can enjoy something satisfying to fuel their journey,” said HMSHost Vice President of Business Development Tosin Kasali. “We are grateful for our continued partnership with Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and are looking forward to travelers experiencing this new concept.”

ATL is continuing to improve efficiencies and the customer experience through ATL Skypointe Reimagined, a substantial refresh to the Airport’s concessions program. The multiphased, multiyear program will provide over 300,000 square feet of new food, beverage, retail, and service offerings throughout ATL.
