Don’t forget to fuel up all weekend. From counter-service to award-winning flare, you will not want to miss the downtown culinary scene.
Just three blocks from Toomer’s Drug, Acre is the perfect spot for an authentic Auburn meal! With on-site gardens, a majority of their ingredients are locally sourced. Additionally, they partner with the Auburn University Meat Lab and local ranchers to bring fresh meat to the table! Game day weekends are definitely busy at Acre, so make your reservation sooner than later!
Find the perfect spot to view it all, you can’t let a gameday weekend slip by without sipping a refeshing beverage on one of our four hotel rooftops.
Take a walk down memory lane by heading to the very top of The Graduate Hotel. It is up there that you will find the War Eagle Supper Club. While this club doesn’t require a membership, it certainly feels like you are in an exclusive area with the most wonderful downtown and Jordan-Hare views.
We can’t wait to see you Downtown!
