After almost five months in hibernation, City Winery Atlanta will reopen in May.

The concert venue/restaurant/winery set a May 12 return, with its first show on May 17, an acoustic performance by Jade Bird with Savannah Conley opening.

The venue is currently operating with reduced capacity (the room typically seats 350); all seating is general admission.

In addition, proof of COVID-19 vaccinations - either with an official vaccine card or via the Clear app and kiosks installed at the venue - is required.

Other COVID-19 protocols include:

City Winery initially reopened in October and hosted several shows through the end of 2020. But winter proved an ideal time to power down the Atlanta location, as well as the City Winery outposts in Philadelphia, Boston and Washington, D.C.

Other upcoming concerts include OK Cello (May 20); Cedric Burnside (May 21); Groove Centric (May 22); and Vivian Green (May 26-27).
