ATLANTA, Georgia – August 27, 2024 – Red Phone Booth, Atlanta’s premier prohibition experience, is excited to welcome Dragon Con to the city for the eighth consecutive year this Labor Day weekend, August 29 through September 2. Dragon Con is the largest multi-media, pop culture convention focusing on science fiction and fantasy, gaming, comics, literature, art, music, and film in the universe.
Red Phone Booth will offer a special series of events and promotions designed to enhance the convention experience for members and attendees alike. Centrally located in Downtown Atlanta, just 100 feet from Peachtree Street at 17 Andrew Young International Blvd, Red Phone Booth is the ultimate destination for fans seeking a unique and immersive celebration during Dragon Con. Convention attendees can get the code for entry through their hotel concierge.
A Whovian Transformation
In honor of this year’s festivities, Red Phone Booth will undergo a remarkable transformation, painting the iconic entrance, an antique London red phone booth, to blue to resemble the famous police box from Doctor Who. This homage to one of the most beloved sci-fi series will set the tone for a weekend filled with adventure, camaraderie, and celebration.
Exclusive Events and Offers
The Dragon Con Cigar Club will kick off the weekend with a Welcome Reception on Thursday night, where all members arriving before 6 p.m. will receive a complimentary Oliva cigar. As the weekend unfolds, Red Phone Booth will extend its hours, opening early at 4 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Each evening, guests can enjoy a Complimentary Pasta Dinner Buffet from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. while supplies last, courtesy of Amalfi Cucina & Mercato, offering a taste of Italy to fuel the night’s festivities.
Throughout the weekend, members of the Dragon Con Cigar Club can take advantage of an exclusive BOGO Cigar Offer by using a secret password, allowing them to buy one cigar and get another of equal or lesser value free.
A Toast to the 10th Doctor
Each night at 10:01 p.m., Red Phone Booth will host a complimentary toast in honor of the 10th Doctor from Doctor Who. Guests are invited to raise their glasses and celebrate the spirit of adventure and the many Dragon Cons to come.
Geek Chic Dress Code and Special Saturday Event
In the spirit of Dragon Con, Red Phone Booth will adopt a “Geek Chic” Dress Code for the weekend, encouraging cosplay while maintaining a standard of elegance. While creativity is encouraged, guests are reminded that attire must be fully covering, and body paint will not be permitted.
On Saturday, with the city welcoming the UGA Bulldogs and Clemson Tigers for kickoff, Red Phone Booth will relax its usual dress code to allow sports apparel from either team, creating a welcoming environment for both sci-fi fans and sports enthusiasts alike.
Advanced Reservations and Alternate Venue Experience
Members can secure their spot at these exclusive events by making Advanced Reservations through the member app. For those seeking a more demure, more mindful Red Phone Booth experience, the Buckhead location will maintain its regular dress code and atmosphere throughout the holiday weekend.
Please note that all Red Phone Booth locations will be closed on Monday, September 2, for the Labor Day holiday.
