Plan Your Visit

Generally, Dad’s Garage has one “early” show or event every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On Fridays and Saturdays, we host two different shows and events on the same night—one “early” show, and one “late” show.

Usually, our “early” shows begin at 8 p.m. and consist of two ~45-minute halves with an intermission. Our late shows begin at 10 or 10:30 p.m. (depending on its setup needs) and last about one hour. Please refer to a show’s individual listing or your ticket email for more details.

You have three options for parking and transportation to the Dad’s Garage campus.

Dad’s Garage Parking Lot

There are a limited number of free parking spots available in our parking lot (directly across the street from our building on the right-hand side.) Make sure to arrive early if you want to get one of these coveted spots.

Street Parking

A handful of free spaces are available on the street in the surrounding neighborhood, but we can't guarantee how many or for how long!

Go Green

Public Transportation: Dad's Garage is within walking distance from the Atlanta Beltline. We are also foot-accessible from the MLK Station (MARTA Eastbound blue and green lines.) 

From MLK Station, head east on Decatur Street until you reach Bradley Street. Turn left, walk one more block, and you'll see the main Dad’s Garage theatre.

Bike: We've got bike racks for you at the theatre AND there is a bike lane on Edgewood Avenue near Ezzard Street. Huzzah!

Carpool/Rideshare: If you know you wanna get crunk at our bar or just know your passenger princess heart, consider taking an Uber or Lyft.

Streetcar: Take the Atlanta Streetcar to the Edgewood Avenue stop at Hillard Street. Get off and keep walking east (towards Moreland Avenue and Decatur) on Edgewood until you get to Bradley Street. Turn right (south) onto Bradley Street, and you will see the theatre. Dad’s Garage is at the corner of Bradley and Ezzard Street.

Yes. The Dad’s Garage lobby and bar opens one hour before showtime. Check out our full Dad's Garage bar menu of beer, wine, spirits, and light concessions (chips and candy bars, not dinner entrees) in the lobby before the show and during intermission.

Everyone will be carded, so bring your I.D. if you want to drink. We don't allow outside alcohol. Sorry.

We prefer cards for all transactions, but we do have cash on hand.

While React Theatre does have a small concession stand offering prepackaged chips and light snacks, only the main Dad’s Garage lobby serves drinks.

There are tons of great restaurants within walking distance of Dad’s Garage. The theatre is about a block and a half from the Edgewood Avenue entrance to The Beltline. Should you choose to walk along the Beltline, you’ll pass several great options from quick eats to sit-down options perfect for date night, including Krog Street Market, located at 99 Krog Street, and McCray’s Tavern Beltline, Chiringa O4W, Bell Street Burrito Inman Park/Beltline, and Shake Shack Old Fourth Ward.

The closest off-the-Beltline restaurant options are O4W Market, Thumbs Up Diner, Planet Bombay, and Lotta Frutta.

Only you can answer this question. Bring them at your own risk. Unless a show is marked 21+ only (like the Vavianna Vardot Famous Sex Party series), you are empowered to decide if a Dad’s Garage show is appropriate for your child or not.

All Dad’s Garage shows (with the exception of our kids’ shows like Wowie Zowie and Adventure Playhouse) are created and intended for adult audiences. They often contain adult humor such as: cursing, sexual innuendo, violence, and sometimes nudity—often at the same time. Typically, we set an age limit of 18-and-older for our general programming, but we also believe that parents have the right to choose what's okay for their children to watch. If you let your kids watch FX, a general Dad’s Garage is probably fine.

All children two and older must have their own ticket to attend a show.

If you purchased tickets but did not use them, no, we cannot offer you a refund on those tickets.

If you purchased tickets but hated the show, no, we still cannot offer you a refund for your tickets. We sincerely hope this never happens.

If, within 48-hours before a show, you realize you have purchased tickets to a show you can no longer attend, please email tickets@dadsgarage.com and request an exchange. If your email is sent after 6 p.m. on a weeknight or any time on a weekend, we will get back to you the next business day. Rest assured, we will still exchange your ticket if it's processed after the show you missed!

Exchange requests are not applicable to celebrity, special, or private events.

Yes, actually.

Producing an original script: Dad’s Garage almost always produces our own original work. That said, if you really think you have a script that makes sense for Dad's Garage to produce (and you’ve seen our scripted shows to confirm it’s up our alley), email it to tim@dadsgarage.com.
