ATLANTA – Just in time for the first home game of the regular season, the Atlanta Hawks & State Farm Arena today announced that they have extended their hospitality partnership with Levy as the arena’s food, beverage and hospitality team, welcomed two new restaurants to the arena concourse and added nearly 30 new food and drink options. The award-winning downtown Atlanta venue is welcoming Bocado Pizza to Section 109 and Irie Mon Caribbean Café to Section 219 as part of its diverse array of restaurant-quality food offerings. Under the leadership of Chief Culinary Officer, Chef G. Garvin, the venue has consistently ranked among the top food-and-beverage programs in the NBA.

“Levy has been nothing short of an incredible partner for the Hawks and State Farm Arena since we opened,” said Chef G. Garvin, Chief Culinary Officer for the Hawks and State Farm Arena. “We couldn’t be more excited to extend our partnership as we work together to find ways to provide the best food and beverage experience for all fans and concertgoers alike.”

“Atlanta is a city with an unmistakable identity and Southern soul,” said Andy Lansing, CEO of Levy. “Our longstanding partnership with the Hawks and State Farm Arena is built on a deep connection to the community, and we’re so proud to continue celebrating the diverse food scene that makes Atlanta such an extraordinary place.”

Levy has operated as the official hospitality partner for State Farm Arena for more than 20 years, and the two organizations have worked seamlessly together to create culinary moments that highlight Atlanta’s vibrant culture. Added to the menu offerings this season are nearly 30 new items that include specialty burgers, nachos, crafted mocktails, dirty sodas and much more. Levy has also been integral to the venue’s commitment to leadership in sustainability, contributing to the venue’s zero-waste efforts and recognition.

 

In addition to the partnership extension, State Farm Arena is also welcoming two new Atlanta-based restaurants to the dozens of food and beverage vendors located around the 360-degree concourse: Bocado Pizza and Irie Mon Caribbean Café. Previously recognized as Atlanta Magazine’s Best New Restaurant in 2024, Bocado Pizza promises to deliver fresh ingredients, craveable bites and convenience without compromising on quality. Using specialty flour imported from Italy, the restaurant prides itself on artisan, hand-made, wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizza.

“We’re incredibly excited to bring Bocado Pizza to State Farm Arena and to be part of the energy and excitement surrounding the Atlanta Hawks,” said Brian Lewis, Restaurateur and Founder of Bocado Pizza. “This partnership is a fantastic opportunity to share our commitment to quality, handcrafted sourdough wood-fired pizza with fans and guests while supporting two iconic Atlanta institutions.”

For the first time in the venue’s history, State Farm Arena will add a Caribbean restaurant to the concourse. Irie Mon Caribbean Café, which translates to “everything is blessed” in Jamaican Patois, specializes in authentic Jamaican cuisine and bold island flavors. The Black-owned restaurant has several locations around Atlanta.

“From our roots in Jamaica to multiple locations across Atlanta, Irie Mon Cafe is proud to expand to State Farm Arena,” said Payton Williams, Co-Founder of Irie Mon Caribbean Café. “Our bold Jamaican flavors will have you talking long after the final buzzer, and we hope fans and concertgoers alike come visit us and experience a true taste of Jamaica.”
