Safe Ride Home Policy

At 529, your safety is our top priority.

If a customer appears too inebriated to drive, our staff will assist in arranging a safe ride home using a taxi, Uber, or Lyft. We are committed to ensuring that no one leaves our venue under the influence behind the wheel.

Our policy includes:

  • Proactive monitoring by staff and bartenders for signs of intoxication.

  • Refusal of service to visibly intoxicated individuals, per Georgia state law.

  • Assistance in arranging and covering or partially covering transportation costs in situations where a customer is unable to do so.

  • If necessary, we will hold keys and/or contact emergency contacts to prevent unsafe situations.

  • We may also ask a guest to remain at the venue (in a safe area) until a sober ride can be arranged.

We encourage all guests to plan ahead for transportation or designate a sober driver. Please don’t hesitate to ask our staff if you need help getting home safely — we’re here to help.
