Get away to a place where the birdies chirp in the trees and chip on the greens, time is well spent and there’s always something curious to discover.
Guys’ Weekend Itinerary
Friday
Dinner at Redneck Gourmet
Redneck Gourmet is true to its name: good eats without pretentiousness. With must-order local fare like Fried Green Tomatoes and a few new spins on Georgia classics, there’s no mistaking it: you’re in the South. We suggest the Fried Pickles and their Redneck Caviar as your pre-game choice before your entree’s. And before you wander too far off, pay a visit to Below the Neck, a full-service bar located just below the restaurant.
Another option is just down the street. The Cellar’s casual venue, The Bays features a large bar, two patios and plenty of games (Giant Jenga, anyone?) and space to sit back and relax. Live music is a staple here so check their website to see who’s playing.
After Dinner: Line Creek Brewing Co.
If cold ones are what you are seeking, head on over to Line Creek Brewing Co. to throw a few brews back with the boys. Specializing in high gravity and barrel-aged beers, Line Creek boasts 24 craft drafts. Can’t decide on just one?
Start with a flight to get the good times flowing.
Line Creek has a calendar full of special events, visiting food trucks and live music. Check it out on their website to get the full pour on what’s coming out.
Saturday
Breakfast at Christy's Cafe
A trip to Newnan isn’t complete without indulging in a hearty breakfast. This local favorite offers all the classic dishes, but what truly sets it apart is that breakfast is served all day!
From biscuits and gravy to omelets and skillets, there’s something to satisfy every craving.
Morning Activity: Golf at Summer Grove Golf Club
After breakfast, get in a quick nine or play the whole course at Summer Grove Golf Club. This 18-hole, par 72 championship course stretches to 6,954 yards from the back tees. With five places to swing your shot, you’ll find the perfect level of challenge for your game.
This beautifully designed course is open to the public; however, you will need to book a tee time in advance.
Lunch at Matt's Smalltown Pizza
Fuel up with a pie from Senoia staple, Matt’s Smalltown Pizza. Fresh dough made daily is topped with 100% all-natural, whole milk mozzarella and your choice of 31 toppings. While you can’t go wrong with a classic cheese and pep’, locals and visitors alike rave about the Buffalo Chicken Pizza.
Not feelin’ cheesy? Wing it instead with an order of 6-100 flats and drumsticks. They have 11 flavor options, including all the classics, but when in Georgia, you gotta go with Lemon Pepper.
Afternoon Activity: The Walking Dead Tour of Senoia
Senoia, or rather, Woodbury, as it’s known in The Walking Dead, has been a primary filming location for the show since the series’ third season. Get a look behind the scenes with a tour around downtown Senoia. You’ll see iconic locations such as the Alexandria Safe-Zone, The Governor’s Residence and the Train Tracks.
Self-guided tours are available, but we highly recommend guided tours as many guides have behind-the-scenes connections to the show.
Dinner at Nic & Norman's
Feast like the undead at Nic & Norman’s, a fan and foodie favorite co-owned by The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus and producer Greg Nicotero. There’s something for everyone on this all-American menu, including gourmet burgers, steaks and salads. Meat-lovers will love the BBQ filled Pork Sliders.
Looking for plant-based protein? Opt for Norman’s Pick, an Impossible brand plant-based patty topped with a fried egg and dressed with beets, avocado, spinach and soy ginger sauce.
After Dinner: HOP-fully Sipping on IPAs
Nestled in the heart of downtown Senoia, Pearl & Pine Brewery and Senoia Beer Co. offer a delightful brewery experience just a short stroll apart. Pearl & Pine charms visitors with its rustic ambiance and a rotating selection of innovative brews that celebrate local flavors. Just across the street, Senoia Beer Co. boasts a vibrant atmosphere with its spacious taproom and a lineup of refreshing ales that pay homage to Southern brewing traditions.
Whether you’re savoring a hop-forward IPA at Pearl & Pine or enjoying a crisp lager at Senoia Beer Co., this beer-filled adventure promises a memorable taste of the local craft scene!
Sunday
Breakfast at Leaf and Bean Newnan
Rise and shine! Fuel up for your day at Leaf and Bean, a relaxed café with a seriously stacked menu, right in the heart of Downtown Newnan. Regale last night’s revelries while you dig into scrambled eggs with diced onions, peppers, tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese.
Just rolling through? The breakfast sandwich and breakfast burrito are both great on the go.
Late Morning Activity: Visit to Chattahoochee Bend State Park
Lace up your hiking boots or maybe just your sneakers. Chattahoochee Bend State Park has a variety of trails to challenge seasoned hikers and those seeking a leisurely escape into nature. As one of Georgia’s largest state parks, Chattahoochee Bend boasts 2,910 acres of forest, much of which has been left in its natural state, and a whopping five miles of frontage alongside the Chattahoochee.
A boat ramp offers easy access to the water for those who packed their paddles and poles.
Lunch at Meat N' Greet
Wrap up your weekend with the best. Winner of Newnan-Coweta Magazine’s Best of Coweta Award for six years running, Meat N’ Greet is a meat lover’s paradise. Their menu highlights…ten unique burgers stacked with all the fixins upon their signature MNG patties, made from a blend of chuck, brisket and short rib. If you’re feeling more like a frank, go with The Heavy Hitter, a 100% All-Natural Angus Beef hot dog topped with bacon jam, chili-mayo and jalapeños.
Wash it all down with a bourbon flight.
