Rhinestones, Karaoke & Dolly at Sweet Auburn Barbecue

Grab the rhinestones and warm up those pipes, because Sweet Auburn Barbecue is going full Dolly. On Saturday, January 31, the Poncey-Highland favorite transforms into a high-energy, anything-goes 80th birthday bash celebrating Dolly Parton with karaoke, cocktails, big looks, and even bigger personalities. Hosted by Atlanta drag icon Brigitte Bidet, the night promises to be loud, joyful, and gloriously over the top. Karaoke kicks off at 8 p.m., with guests invited to jump in anytime to belt out Dolly classics and crowd favorites alike. Between verses and hair flips, guests can sip their way through Dolly-inspired specialties like the Working 9 to Wine Sangria, the Big Hair Don’t Care Cosmo, and Jolene on the Rocks—each one as unforgettable as the icon herself. Drinks will be flowing, Asian-influenced Southern comfort food and barbecue bites keep things grounded, and a Best Dressed contest rewards the biggest hair, boldest fringe, and most unapologetic sparkle in the room. Tickets are $10 per person.
