Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux Introduces Revamped Menu with New Items, Refreshed Fan Favorites and Exciting New Cocktails

Atlanta, GA (March 10, 2025) – Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux is making a slam dunk with a fresh lineup of mouth-watering menu items, available starting March 10, that are perfect for fans of all ages. Whether watching the opening round of 64 or enjoying weeknight bites with the family, these new offerings bring bold Cajun flavor and dunkable mayhem right to the table.


“At Walk-On’s, we bring gameday energy every day. We take great pride in creating a high-energy, welcoming environment for our guests, whether that means being the sports bar of choice for a dedicated fa nor a place for the entire family to enjoy a meal together,” said Chris Porcelli, Walk-On’s CEO. “A key part of what makes the Walk-On’s experience stand out is our scratch-made food creating cravable dishes for guests. We have spent countless hours in our test kitchen perfecting new items that represent the best of our brand. We cannot wait for our guests to experience our new menu when they dine with us.”


NEW Menu & Cocktail Offerings
Walk-On’s revamped menu is elevating the gameday experience. Accompanying the new items, guests can expect to see a totally refreshed look and feel to the menu, featuring sharpened color, a re-engineered layout and callouts to signature items. By never losing sight of the importance of high-quality scratch-made food, the new look and feel of the menu + new standout items take sports bar dining to the next level.

Guests will also see a list of new cocktail offerings with standouts like the Spicy Mango Margarita and the Praline Espresso Martini. The Spicy Mango Margarita puts a special twist on the traditional Spicy Margarita by infusing mango flavor with every sip. The Praline Espresso Martini, with a flavor profile unique to the brand, gives an ode to Walk-On’s Louisiana roots by combining the sweet and savory taste of Pralines throughout the specialty drink.

“The Walk-On’s menu tells a story from starters to desserts, and that is what makes our brand so special,” said John Hagen, Director of Culinary at Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux. “I can confidently say we are incredibly proud of every item on our menu, and with the new food items, new drink items, and new look and feel, we are continuing to elevate the entire Walk-On’s experience for our guests.”
