Ahhhhh. Feel that warm weather in the South. Who wants to be cooped up in a bar all day? Not Atlantans, so that is why games like cornhole are popular at bars around town in the spring and into the fall. Cornhole isn’t just a game for taligaters anymore. You can get some practice in before the college football tailgate season starts at various spots around town. This game was previously mentioned in the article “Best Bars With Drinking Games In Atlanta,” but in this one we put our focus on solely cornhole.
