A little fall fun, Sonny’s style. 🍂❤️

We recently brought Sonny’s Social Club: Fall Edition to Atlanta, where we welcomed local creators and members of our Sonny’s loyalty family for a night full of good BBQ, great company and fall festivities.

From getting a first taste of our Holiday Feast menu to mixing up custom dry rubs, decorating tote bags, sipping on Seasonal Sips and enjoying some friendly competition, there was a little something for everyone.

A big thank you to Utility Works for hosting us, Skyline Events and Socials for bringing our fall vision to life, MONIN for keeping the Seasonal Sips flowing, and Townsend Spice & Supply for helping guests create their own signature dry rubs!

And of course, a special shoutout to our Atlanta NEA BBQ team for helping make this night possible. ❤️

Thanks to everyone who came out and made our Fall Edition of Sonny’s Social Club one to remember. 🍁
