One of our guests’ favorites, this restaurant is located in a beautiful historic building that has been lovingly restored and took its name from a popular TV show that used the exterior of the building as a restaurant in the show. Their menu offers a modern twist on Southern with options like sweet potato shrimp fritters (the Atlanta Food Critic’s fav), sweet tea fried chicken, steak with sherry tomato butter, or try one of their burger creations. They have one of the swankiest bars around or spend hours dining and chatting on the rooftop. Certain evenings, they even have live music for their diners to enjoy.

Tasty Eats and Classic Sips,this restaurant is guaranteed to cure. Prominently situated at the “corner of yesterday and tomorrow,” City Pharmacy provides the Covington community with a distinctive chef-driven restaurant complemented by a thoughtful, unparalleled bar program. Originally a family-owned drugstore, this establishment continues the tradition of being a place known for pleasant company and lighthearted conversation. Housed in an expertly-renovated historical space, City Pharmacy pays homage to the past, yet serves as an iconic addition to the downtown landscape today.

When you visit IBP, we hope you can see the rich history in the building. From the front of house restaurant, to the back Pub, upstairs to the event space and balcony, the historic building was renovated in the Winter of 2016 to create an authentic Pub in a growing town.

The Pub is a full restaurant, just east of Atlanta. It’s home to two full-service bars, nightly entertainment and upstairs stage, large format TVs, balcony and private dining rooms. Family friendly with great views of the Downtown Covington Square.

Milazzo’s Ristorante is the perfect destination for your next night out, whether an intimate dinner for two or a large group celebration..

Christina Millazzo opened “Milazzo’s Ristorante” in tribute to her Grandmother and Grandfather. “It was their guidance and training that gave me my skills but also gave me something even more important…..an understanding of my personal heritage, and the history of my family. I still have very fond memories of cooking special meals with my Grandmother and I also have all of her recipes in the same shoe box that she kept them in. If you would have told me ten years ago that cooking would be a passion of mine, and I would own a restaurant, I would have chuckled. It is more the combination of wanting to create something amazing to eat but also becoming a part of peoples lives and giving them pleasure through food”.

Amici’s means friends in Italian and Nicole, John and Parker have made a weekly tradition out of going to this fantastic pub-style family friendly Italian pizzeria. Amici’s has a delicious Italian menu that includes calzones and build-your-own pizzas with fresh toppings and some interesting creations like their Seared Ahi Tuna Pie Bread. And if you love wings, we highly recommend trying theirs! Wednesday is Wing Night, Thursday is Trivia Night and Friday they feature live music.

RL’s off the Square – I bet you didn’t think you’d find Real Louisiana Cajun cuisine right here in Covington! The chef here is from New Orleans and was trained by Paul Prudhomme. If you go into the front of the kitchen, you can see a whole wall of pictures of the chef with all the famous people he has cooked for including Stevie Wonder and Ronald and Nancy Reagan! If you love New Orleans style cuisine, you have to try RL’s!

Your pie specializes in personal pizzas so everyone can get the toppings they want! They use very fresh ingredients and bake it in a classic Italian brick oven. You can build your own pizza from scratch or select from a great list of their creations featuring interesting twists like sun dried tomato pesto instead of your traditional marinara (which is also available). They are unique in that they have an amazing selection of crusts and toppings for people with dietary needs such as gluten free or wheat crust and even vegan cheese! We love the restoration they did to their historic storefront. They also feature a selection of craft beers!
