Things to do for May 13, 2010

The Weekender

Secret Doors, Fire Play and Sausage Burgers

The weekend is thirsty. Very thirsty.

Friday
The Roxy's New Lease on Life
NEW IDENTITY

The Roxy's New Lease on Life

Every once in a while, a timeless, iconic structure just needs a little "me time"... This Friday, after almost two years of silence, the well-worn den of whiskey and rock will reopen as the Buckhead Theatre, kicking things off with an after-party. Don't worry, though—there will still be rock. And whiskey.

Reopens May 14, Buckhead Theatre, 3110 Roswell Rd (at Peachtree)

Saturday
A Covert New Lounge in Midtown
SPEAKING EASY

A Covert New Lounge in Midtown

There's a small unmarked door just beyond the corner of Peachtree Walk and 12th. It's not Door 44... but you're close. It's called Parlour and it opens this Saturday as an invite-only lounge, your new home for Roger Moores (a gin and pomegranate gimlet) and the 44 Special (infused bourbon over ice). And yes, you're invited—you can drop our name at the door.

Open Fri-Sat starting May 15, 10pm-3am, Parlour, near Peachtree Walk and 12th St

Monday
Four Courses of Beer
BEER WEEK

Four Courses of Beer

Beer. Food. Both stellar stand-alone entities. Combine them for Atlanta Beer Week, and here's what you get: four courses paired with four beers. For the finale, your Crème Catalan and Salty Caramel Ganache arrives with a Left Hand Milk Stout. As all desserts should.

May 17-19, $38, Bocado, 887 Howell Mill Rd (south of Eighth), 404-815-1399

Tuesday
