The grand opening of PBR Atlanta is tonight. To celebrate the opening of the new cowboy bar located directly across from SunTrust Park, country rapper Colt Ford will be performing in the Live! plaza at 8:30. PBR, named after the Professional Bull Riders association, features a mechanical bull that adds to the full country experience. Last week the bull was named after former Braves player Andrew Jones.
