Last night was the last night before almost everything shut down in Atlanta.

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Dante's Down the Hatch. That closed in '13.
I did go out for a couple hours. Light crowds with definitely a somber mood. I tipped my servers extra well; I feel bad for me but I feel worse for them.

Great job on that whole generation warfare stuff America:
Vail, Colorado, long a favorite of Mexican skiers looking for snow, is turning into a major source of coronavirus cases in Mexico.
The state of Jalisco, home to Guadalajara, is looking for about 400 travelers who two weeks ago chartered two flights to Denver and traveled from there to Vail. Some tested positive for the virus on their return, Governor Enrique Alfaro said in a video Wednesday, calling on the rest of the group to self-isolate.
The Jalisco cluster adds to at least three high-profile executives who tested positive after traveling to the ski resort. Two of them -- the chairman of the Mexican stock exchange, Jaime Ruiz Sacristan, and Jose Kuri, a relative of billionaire Carlos Slim -- tested positive after returning from Vail on a private jet, according to a letter from the charter company confirming that a passenger had the virus. The two men came back with four other people March 8.
A third business leader, Juan Domingo Beckmann, was also infected. Beckmann, the chief executive officer of Jose Cuervo tequila maker Becle SAB, tested positive for the virus after traveling abroad, the company said Wednesday. He had been in Vail with his wife.
Mexican media have pointed to the Burton US Open Snowboarding Championships as a likely contagion spot, citing people who attended the event and are now sick. The competition was held Feb. 24 to Feb. 29 in Vail.
Alfaro, the Jalisco governor, said the Vail cluster represented the state’s biggest risk for widespread infection, since some of them had already traveled to local vacation spots before coming down with symptoms. “We need to take this seriously, we’re asking them to do what’s responsible,” he said.
Mexico had 118 confirmed cases as of Wednesday night and one death, the Health Ministry said.
