Your 3rd Spot: The Social Experience Club

What Your 3rd Spot: The Social Experience Club does

Your 3rd Spot (Y3S) operates a single 27,000-square-foot eatertainment venue at The Works in Atlanta's Upper Westside (400 Chattahoochee Row, Atlanta, GA 30318), positioning itself as a "third place" for adult social connection. The core product is the Experiences Pass ($28-$33 per person), a mandatory entry fee that unlocks 3+ hours of access to 100+ games and experiences including 12 bowling lanes, 30+ classic arcade cabinets, shuffleboard, darts, vintage game consoles, cornhole arena, and tabletop games. The venue layers an elevated food and beverage program onto this gaming infrastructure, with a chef-curated Taste & Connect sharing menu ($35/person, 7-course), brunch ($48/guest), and a proprietary astrological cocktail program. The company reports serving 700+ members, hosting 15,000+ birthday celebrations and 2,500+ team events cumulatively since founding in 2020. Y3S operates under AMP Up1 Hospitality, described as a parent organization with 200+ combined years of eatertainment leadership experience.

Y3S generates revenue through a diversified mix: usage-based Experiences Pass entry ($28 weekday, $33 Friday-Sunday), per-lane bowling ($15/hour), food and beverage sales (plates $8-$19, cocktails $11-$25, with a built-in 20% service charge), special dining packages (Date Night $100/two, Brunch $48/guest, Graduation $33-$72/guest), private events for 2 to 1,000+ guests, a $50/year recurring membership (with auto-renewal), gift cards, and a newer filming/production rental channel. Technology infrastructure is built on third-party SaaS rather than proprietary systems: PeopleVine powers the membership portal, SevenRooms handles dining/event reservations, Tripleseat manages large-group event inquiries, Flodesk drives email marketing, and Swipeit processes gift cards. There is no mobile app; the membership portal is web-based with mobile-accessible digital membership cards. Distribution is purely physical at the flagship Atlanta venue, with reservations, walk-ins, and event inquiry forms as the primary acquisition paths.

The go-to-market is community-led and direct-to-consumer. Discovery channels are organic: TikTok and Instagram user-generated content (tagging @your3rdspot, #Y3SATL), local press recognition, community event participation (Atlanta St. Patrick's Day Parade, Atlanta Streets Alive, Giving Kitchen's Team HIDI), and partnerships such as Green Flag Dating for Single's Game Night. Customer segmentation is hybrid: Adults 21+ in evening/weekend hours are the primary revenue driver; families with children use Saturday-Sunday daytime family-friendly windows; corporate groups (2-1,000+ guests) drive private event volume. The company claims 90% of its Managing Partners were promoted from hourly roles, signaling internal mobility as a hiring and retention lever. Awards recognition in 2024 includes Industry Excellence Awards' Best Hospitality Training Program, Top 3 Bar of the Year finalist (2023 & 2024), Newsweek's America's Most Loved Workplaces, and multiple Atlanta Magazine honors (Best Late Night Nosh, Best First Date Restaurant, Best Special Occasion Restaurant, Best Membership Experience, Hottest Restaurant).
