Coming Soon…Octane Pocket Bar

This Spring, Octane will open a new ‘Pocket Bar’ location in the Bank of America Plaza located at 600 Peachtree Street NE., in downtown Atlanta.

Situated on the ground floor of the tallest building in the city, this walk up location will feature our hand crafted espresso based classics, with the addition of a pour over coffee bar. Additionally we will offer tasty pastries, select house made sandwiches and snacks + premium sodas and juices.

Patrons will be able to conveniently access this location by foot or by taking MARTA to the North Avenue station, which is located across the street from the BoA Plaza. By car, customers may utilize the building parking deck with entrances located off North Avenue & Peachtree Street.

We are very excited about this new, unique location, and look forward to serving you here very soon!

Here to serve you more…

Starting…NOW! Octane Westside is now open until 11pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet…

Today, January 11th, 2011, despite all the crazy ice and snow we here in Atlanta are frozen under, Octane will be open (Thanks Ben!), starting around now (10 am) until TBD. So please walk up and allow Ben to craft you an exceptional coffee based beverage, a cocktail, or a beer. No driving!

Be safe everyone!
