You’ve signed the papers. You’ve got the keys. Now it’s time to celebrate!
Buying a home is a big milestone, and after all the house hunting, negotiations, inspections and paperwork, you deserve to enjoy the moment. If your closing is taking place at the Shafritz & Dean office at 1355 Terrell Mill Road, Suite 207 in Marietta, you don’t have to go far to find a great place to celebrate.
From margaritas and Mexican food to craft beer and upscale steaks, here are five nearby spots worth checking out after you walk away from the closing table with your new keys.
1. The Brass Tap – Marietta
1420 Terrell Mill Road, Suite 100
Looking for a relaxed place to raise a glass after closing? The Brass Tap is practically right around the corner from our Terrell Mill office.
With a large selection of craft beers, cocktails and a full food menu, it’s a great option for a casual celebration with your spouse, family or friends. Share some appetizers, order your favorite drink and toast to the next chapter in your new home.
Best for: A casual celebration, drinks with friends or catching a game after closing.
2. Los Abuelos Mexican Grill
1420 Terrell Mill Road, Suite 117
Sometimes a new-home celebration calls for chips, queso and a margarita—and Los Abuelos delivers.
Located in the same Terrell Mill area as The Brass Tap, Los Abuelos offers Mexican favorites, fajitas, enchiladas and plenty of options for sharing. It’s an easy choice when you want a festive meal without traveling far from the closing office.
Best for: A family-friendly lunch or dinner and a celebratory margarita.
3. Schoolhouse Brewing
840 Franklin Court, Suite 100
If your idea of celebrating involves craft beer and a laid-back atmosphere, put Schoolhouse Brewing on your list.
The Marietta brewery specializes in small-batch beers and has the feel of a neighborhood gathering place. With a spacious patio and plenty of room for groups, it can be a fun place to unwind after a busy closing day.
And if you’re celebrating with a group of friends or family, the relaxed atmosphere makes it easy to turn your post-closing drink into an evening out.
Best for: Craft beer lovers, groups and a relaxed post-closing celebration.
4. Cherokee Chophouse
2710 Canton Road
Maybe this isn’t just another closing. Maybe it’s the house you’ve been dreaming about for years.
If you want your celebration to feel like a special occasion, Cherokee Chophouse is a great choice. The modern steakhouse offers steaks, seafood, poultry, cocktails and wine in a more upscale setting.
It’s the kind of place where you can sit down, slow down and really celebrate the accomplishment of becoming a homeowner.
Best for: A special-occasion dinner, date night or celebrating with family.
5. Marietta Square
Historic Downtown Marietta
If you want more than just dinner, head toward Historic Marietta Square. The area gives you plenty of options for turning your closing celebration into an entire evening.
Grab dinner or drinks at one of the many restaurants around the Square, then take a stroll through downtown and enjoy the atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a steakhouse, Italian food, tapas, cocktails or something casual, there are plenty of ways to make the evening your own.
Best for: A full evening out and exploring downtown Marietta after dinner.
