About

The Atlanta Experience.

The first and most prominent destination for everything the A has to offer.

Our mission

The Atlanta Experience exists to be the first and most prominent destination for everything the A has to offer — for the people who live here and the millions who visit. Whether you just landed at Hartsfield-Jackson or you've been here your whole life, this is where Atlanta's happenings, food, culture, and the real ones live.

Who’s behind it

Built in Atlanta by Leon Jackson.

The Atlanta Experience is independent and Atlanta-founded — a Black-owned company built right here, not a chain, not a faceless brand, and not a bank’s side project. It’s one Atlantan putting the whole city on: the food, the nightlife, the culture, the people who make it move.

That’s the whole point of Heat. When the board says a spot is where the night is at, that’s the city talking — real votes from real people, never an ad budget.
