33 Best Beer Bars in Atlanta

“Always a pleasure coming to Boxcar between the food, atmosphere, and staff it makes for a pleasant experience.

I had the braised beef short ribs that came with mashed potatoes and collard greens. The meat was super fork pull apart tender, mashed potatoes well seasoned, and collard greens like somebody’s Grandma was making them in the kitchen.

My wife and I also had the collard greens cheese dip and the Kung Pao Brussel sprout for an appetizer. Both appetizers were delicious and more than enough for 2-3 people.

If ever at the West End, going out for a date night, or looking for a place to grab a meal and chill before taking a short walk on the beltline please checkout Boxcar they won’t let you down.“

“The dim lights, light music, beautiful architecture, wonderful wait staff, and the food is one of a kind! Cooked to perfection and not one second overcooked… we enjoyed our waitress Amanda! Very accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu. Will be back many times in the future!!“

“Best mocha!!!!! Had a very stressful day, and decided to treat myself with a fancy coffee. The lovely people behind the counter were so nice, especially the lady who recommended the best mocha, cookie butter, I think she said, and it was absolute perfection! ?? Chef's kiss!!! Thank you so much for your good energy and making my day so much better! ❤️ I visited Saturday, October 5th, 2024 around 4pm.“

“Leo was amazing! This place has a superb selection of beer and snacks. If you’re at Little Five Points it’s a crime not to stop by for a few drinks. The bartenders are very friendly and knowledgeable. And the beer is very tasty and satisfying.“

“This place exudes fine dining quality in a casual dining environment. The atmosphere is spotless clean, with great decor. Great music. Friendly staff who serve with a warm attitude and pleasant smile. And OMG the food was super delicious, authentically Jamaican. I loved the saltfish fritters (they were huge), the soursop juice was soooooo good. Definitely going back.“

“a cozy gastro pub, with a friendly staff, great food, awesome patio and an amazing wall mural of a fox & owl..“

“Absolutely one of the best Vibe places I have ever experienced.“

“The ribs were so tender and juicy and the greens were very good also.“

“Food was excellent. I love the atmosphere as well. Great people and great service all around. Ask for Anissa she is awesome! Great big smile surely lights up the room!“

“Taproom is our go to spot for meetings, great coffee and excellent service. Been a neighborhood staple/homebase for years. Love this place.“

“Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Make your own 4 pack was a great way to get a taste of Georgia beer for out of towners! In store wine tasting was a nice bonus and being able to enjoy it while we walked around the rest of the market to try food. Thanks for the cheesesteak recommendation!!“

“Kourtland was beyond amazing!! He’s such an asset and probably the best server I’ve ever had. He was attentive, knowledgeable, hilarious, kind, passionate and so much more. He deserves a raise and we will definitely be coming back just to see Kourtland.“

“It is a nice place for a date night, to hang out with your friends, or to simply have a beer by yourself. Great atmosphere!“

“Every single person working was happy to be there! I’m so glad we stopped by.“

“I Was Completely Blown Away At This Restaurant. I Was Sat By A Beautiful Host Which Turn Out To Be My Server. Renisha Was Very Knowledgeable About The Ga Craft Beers. She did an amazing job by explaining each item on the menu. I Gave Her The Opportunity Of Ordering My Food and Beer. Oh Boy She Did Not Disappoint. I had the Blackened Catfish with rice and beans and an Orange Still Diva Beer To Drink. It was her two favorite items and I had no complaints! Renisha service was the best service I have had in years. My water cup was never low and if I had more time I would have had another beer. Renisha Was Very Patient With Me Even Though The Restaurant Was Very Busy. She is also a team player and is willing to pick up the slack from others. As A Restaurant Manager Please Give This Server Her Flowers, She Deserves it !“

“If you like Caribbean food - this is good! Plus good music from the dj (if you like reggae) 😎“

“A great place to pick up some drinks at Ponce City Market - The Tap has a ton of beer on draft and other pre-packaged options. It's fun to pick up a growler of beer and share it among friends while exploring PCM or by taking it outside to The Yard (a small green space in front of the building).

The Tap on Ponce is owned by Green's Beverages, one of my favorite package stores, so they always have a great selection of beer and other goodies. Staff are friendly and are more than happy to chat about their beer options and help you choose one that suits your needs!“

“Nestled in the heart of a downtown Atlanta, Five Points, is a hidden gem that captivates both the palate and the soul. LA’s Bar and Grill serves the best chicken wings hands down! The ambiance is warm and inviting, but what truly sets LA’s Bar and Grill apart is its impeccable southern hospitality. The staff treats every guest like family, ensuring a dining experience that feels both intimate and extraordinary. A visit to this delightful eatery is more than just a meal—it's an unforgettable celebration of flavor and community.“

“So the restaurant is open on a limited basis from Thursday to Saturday as of this date. But room service is available for guests at the malfunction prone Embassy Suites on 17th street. I called for room service during dinner rush. About 20 minutes later there’s a knock on the door - it’s the restaurant manager : “I tried to call you, “ he said. (the phone wasn’t working it appears?). He wanted me to know they had run out of what I’d ordered but he’d be happy to bring me something else for the same price. And then 15-minutes later he returned with my order which was freshly made and tasty. Give this guy a medal for good food and superlative service!“

“So glad I finally got here! The staff was welcoming and friendly; the vibe is nice and comfortable; the beer is very good! Wish I lived closer because I’d be here often!🍻“

“This place is awesome! Laid back atmosphere, good beer selection, and super dog friendly! Sean treated us extremely well and was spot on with beer recommendations.

Birdie was a favorite among the bar crowd and left with some new friends!“

“It’s small but intimate, almost like a speakeasy. The drinks are incredible and the bartenders know their stuff!“

“This place was great! After an experience next door we crashed here and was NOT disappointed. We were greeted and reviewed the menu. Ordered the eggplant parmesan, meatballs, pizza and wine. We sat at the bar in front of the wood fire ovens. Got to watch our meals being prepared and had the most pleasant conversation with the pizza makers. The meatballs were FIRE! They were amazing, wonderful combo of meats and hand made…AMAZING. The pizza was also just the best pizza I have had in a long time. They finish with actual Italian olive oil which took the experience to another level. Then oh whoa almost forgot about their dessert. We ordered the pistachio cake and tiramisu. WOW, the dessert was simply beautiful and perfect amount of sweetness. Everything was fresh and amazing. All the employees there were wonderful welcoming and kind. Such a great place! Will be back for sure!!“

“I was looking for a BAR bar. Atl has lots of lounges, hooka spots, and clubs but I’m from south ga & was needing a true bar vibe & this was it! I was on a first date & we enjoyed the music and vibes. The Two black bartenders w locs were a vibe ?? I’ll for sure be back. Drinks were nice & strong“

“My friend and I were starving and although we were surrounded with bars most of them had stopped serving food. Luckily Ormsby's was still open and we were able to catch the kitchen at the last minute. Joshua got us a table and put in our order just in time for the kitchen. He's a host and he definitely didn't have to do that. We were so grateful. Then we met our actual server Joseph. Let me tell you as a fellow industry worker, I have so much respect for the way this man can work a room. He was so friendly and took exceptional care of us despite how busy the bar was. My friend had never been to Ormsby's and now she can't stop talking about it. The food was great, but we're definitely coming back to see Joseph. Next time we'll get there earlier. :)“

“Muy excelente la atención“

“Great atmosphere, service, food is delicious and clean environment. Military Discount available.“

“Omg! This is the place to be! I love the food, everything well seasoned and perfectly cooked! I want to give a shot out to the amazing chef Mooka! Very professional staff, and I give this place a 10 star ⭐️ review. I will be returning“

“Amazing experience! We loved everything and the service was impeccable.“

“Always have a great time here. whether I'm alone or with friends. great food and better drinks😊“

“The staff goes above and beyond! Definitely have to ask for Lauren or DJ. They're the best bartenders by far. Highly recommend.“

“After all my years in Atlanta I finally had the chance to experience Park Tavern. After a day in the park, I told my friends I wanted wings. They advised that the wings at Park Tavern were good and we should go. Of course I am always game for trying new places, thus we walk across the grass and into the Tavern. Immediately upon walking in I am in awe of the amount of space, this establishment does not look this big from the outside. However, it is hugeeeeeeeeeee!!! As the weather was beautiful and the atmosphere on the covered patio was vibrant, we decided to sit in that area. Park Tavern has a almost “Self-Serve” kind of setup and I love it. You go to the bar to place your order. Upon placing your order they take your cell number as they may text you when your food is ready to be picked up. Once you receive the text which states “This is Park Tavern! Your food is ready!” you head to the second bar and pick up your order, grab your utensils and condiments and head back to your seat. This flow works so well and is to the benefit of myself as a customer as well as the establishment as a whole. With the staff shortages that are plaguing the Atlanta area, this model is aligned to work to the benefit of all! (In my personal opinion!) I decided to get the 10 piece wings “Hot” with a side of Tater Tots. Once my food was ready, I immediately went to pick it up. I emphasize the word “immediately” as though there was no delay in my time from advisory of food readiness to pick up, my tater tot’s were already cool. I won’t say cold, however, they were cooler than room temperature but two steps above cold. However, for a non fresh hot tater tot they were still good. I can only imagine how good they would be had they been fresh out the grease. My wings were amazing. Super meaty, well done, and well seasoned. The “Hot” isn’t super hot but has a perfect spicy kick to it that enhances the flavor profile of the wing and seasonings. The wings weren’t too greasy and truly are worth a trip back for another order. LoL!! Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Park Tavern. The bar staff was friendly and all smiles, and the ambiance of the Tavern was very chill and laid back. Perfect spot for a good meal with friends or a laid back date.“
