Many intown communities do not have an area designated as an “open container district,” where drinking alcohol outside is allowed. But it is becoming more and more common for open-container districts to pop up. Duluth, Kennesaw and Woodstock are just some of the suburban cities that have embraced entertainment districts. These areas have mostly stayed outside the Perimeter, however. The trend may creep closer to Atlanta in the coming years as more developments are planned.
