Virgil’s Gullah Kitchen & Bar is a love letter to the Gullah Geechee culture - serving up those deliciously authentic dishes (yes, we eat a lot of rice) and signature cocktails that folks in the South love.

With locations in Historic College Park, Olde Town Conyers, and West Midtown Atlanta, we welcome the opportunity to serve you while you vibe out in an atmosphere like no other in the city. ​Come for the food. Stay for the vibe. Feel the love.

OUT Georgia Business Alliance is committed to providing low- or no-cost Membership and event access to underrepresented 2SLGBTQIA+ community members, with a focus on Two Spirit individuals, people of color, Transgender, gender-diverse, and non-binary individuals, veterans, disabled individuals, low-income individuals, and business owners and professionals from historically marginalized backgrounds.

Our folx show up for each other with kindness, empathy, and generosity.

When you add a Community Access ticket to your order, you’re helping an individual access the OUT Georgia experience more confidently by reducing financial barriers associated with Membership or attending an event. While we won’t be able to eliminate all costs, your support can help OUT Georgia ensure that our values of equity, accessibility, and belonging reach those who need it most.

To request Community Access tickets, email [email protected] with the specific event and number of tickets you are requesting. Community Access tickets will be provided, no questions asked, when available or when event dynamics allow (e.g. pool of tickets available, venue capacity allows, or specific tickets/seats are available).

Come As You Are embodies OUT Georgia's ethos of radical Acceptance, Inclusion, & Belonging, while defining our "attire expectation" and setting the tone for the experiences we curate.

We believe our best work happens when we feel confident, welcomed, and valued as our full, authentic self. This means don't check any aspect of your identity at the door.

For those who appreciate guidance, our attire suggestion leans towards Business Casual, but feel free to infuse your style with creativity using phrases like: Business Cute, Corporate Comfort, MBA Thrift, Professional Serve, and Queer to Slay.

Virgil's Gullah Kitchen & Bar West Midtown has paid parking options in an adjacent lot (Thumbs Up Diner).

We accept walk-ups at the door ($20), but purchasing your ticket in advance saves us both and gets you to networking quicker!
