State Farm Arena Vegan Options 2024 (Atlanta Hawks)

Vegan Options at State Farm Arena

In a fairly major vegan city like Atlanta, we thought State Farm Arena would be listening to its customers when it comes to Vegan Options.

While doing our research, I see this arena is very proud to provide local ATL restauranteurs and chefs the opportunity to showcase their cuisines. Where is the opportunity for a vegan restaurant or chef?

We are only aware of one vegan option, other than your typical options like candy or chips (make sure you check the ingredients first though).

If you’re thinking bringing in your own food might be an option, we list State Farm Arena’s bag, food and beverage policies below… along with a couple of vegan-friendly restaurants you can visit close by should you want to eat before or after your event.

Vegan Options at State Farm Arena

Most Concessions

  • Candy – Check ingredients
  • Chips – Check ingredients

Burgers

Here’s the tricky part. I don’t know if I should tell you it’s going to be an Impossible Burger which is what State Farm Arena’s guest services will say… or, if I should say Beyond Burger because that is what was offered at the concert we went to on 4.28.23.

Vegan Options Near State Farm Arena

Cafe Kulture

43 Jesse Hill Jr Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30303Opens in a new tab.

The reviews here are phenomenal and the restaurant is 100% vegan! Definitely check their hours because they close for a couple of hours in the afternoon but stay open late. Cafe Kulture offers breakfast, brunch, burgers and wraps.

Mellow Mushroom

400 W Peachtree St NW Suite #1, Atlanta, GA 30308Opens in a new tab.

Less than a mile away from the arena… While not 100% vegan, Mellow Mushroom offers a vegan menu with plenty of vegan options; hoagies, salads and specialty pizzas. You can also create your own pizza. This is a good spot if you have a mixed crowd of vegans & non-vegans.

Melinated Vegan

156 Forsyth St SW, Atlanta, GA 30303Opens in a new tab.

One more vegan restaurant that blew me away with their reviews but is only open on the weekends and late night thru the early morning. You can find nachos, tacos & burritos at Melinated Vegan. This would be a great spot to stop by after an event or game!
