33 Best Beer Bars in Atlanta

“Groovy warehouse district turned brewery district, right on the south side beltline. Dont worry about space, they got plenty. Next door is a food hall if you can’t find a choice at boxcar.

The staff is super nice and ready to help!“

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

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

“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!!“

“Absolutely great customer service and excellent food and coffee! Came after the Taylor Swift Concert and the place was hoppin’! The staff were all awesome and friendly even with how busy they were. The coffee was excellent, Lavender Haze on the Taylor’s menu was chefs kiss! They were even kind enough to make my 8 year old a Taylor’s version hot chocolate with a little lavender in it! Food was delicious! We will absolutely be back on our next Atlanta visit!“

“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.“

“It was Friend Day Out and Mobay Spice was the restaurant of choice. I’m so glad it’s in the Toco Hills Plaza as there is ample parking… Upon walking in, the space is very quaint. There is a nice vibe to the overall ambiance and the overall feel is very inviting and pleasant. After taking in the ambiance we headed to the table for 4 as it is a seat yourself type of setup. Though the space isn’t wide, they did a great job with positioning the table and chairs to ensure you don’t feel crowded. Our waitress greeted us with a warm welcome and menus as soon as we sat down. As I am a lover of Jamaican Food, I was super excited at all the classic offerings and intrigued by such offerings as the Jerk Burger… say whaaaaaaaat! As the waitress arrived back a few moments later, perfect timing I might add I was ready to order. I ordered a Beef Patty as my appetizer and the Jerk Salmon Entree. I swapped out the potatoes that come with the entree for the rice and peas. As we were waiting for our food, the music kept us upbeat and made for such a dope space of engagement. All of the staff who encountered us smiled and spoke which was such a great service experience. Kudos to the team. Once the food came it was an immediate OhMyGosh Moment! The plating was beautiful and the food looked Bombbbbbbb. Beef Patty - classic patty. The meat was well seasoned. The crust was flaky and buttery. The quality of the meat was spot on and there wasn’t any fat or gristle. Very good dish and perfect pick for an appetizer. Jerk Salmon - Two Words… More Please!!!!! The salmon was meaty and moist. It was perfectly grilled without being dry or overdone. The Jerk sauce wasn’t overpowering and allowed for the fish to still be the draw while holding its own. The flavor profile of the seasoning used on the fish paired well with the flavor excitement of the jerk sauce. Furthermore, the jerk sauce wasn’t too spicy as it allowed for you to truly enjoy and savor the flavors presented. Rice and Peas - One Word… FRESH!!!! I mean a different level of freshness. The rice tasted like freshly cooked rice. The peas were authentic and perfectly done. The combination of them as one was moutpleasingly outstanding. Again, neither outshined the other. Each of them held their own and they were married together so well. Great flavor and again, amazing freshness. Steamed Cabbage - Ooh Chile! This cabbage was different. I think it’s the way it was shredded or something because babeeeeeeeeee. This was some of the best cabbage I have had in my whole life. Fresh. Seasoned. Not too hard. Not too soft. And the peppers just put what was already great even greater. I literally had to stop my waitress and tell her to tell the waiter he showed awffffffff with this. LoL!!!! As you can tell, my Mombay Spice experience was amazing. Not only will I be back, I already know what I’m going to order. 😂😂😂😂😂“

“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!!“

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

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

“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!“

“Traveling in the area and was looking for a bite to eat, discovered Fat Matts and so glad we did. Awesome food and service, some of the best ribs we have had. Down to earth great people and loved seeing them take care of their community. 10/10 would recommend“

“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!“

“Do like me. Have a beer at Brewdog to check it off the list, then head over to Krog to this Hop City outlet and their massive list of 60ish local craft beers on draft. Grab some food first from one of the many vendors in the hall and enjoy it with a pint from Hop City. All-around worthy spot.“

“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.“

“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 !“

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

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

“Love walking over here for solid selections of non-alcoholic & THC bevvies. Dozens of beer selections on draft or solid range of canned craft. There’s a lot of range of wines bottled or draft, but I don’t really drink that frequently. Sake selection is also solid. Can’t sample here since it looks like it’s a package store, but seasoned bartenders usually give solid recs and can help point you in the right direction. They have giveaways frequently on IG and haven’t won one yet but trying (pls pick me)!!! Super chill spot.“

“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!🍻“

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

“This is a great place. I wonder how I missed it since the last 3 years. Great drinks and a great atmosphere. They allow outside food and our dogs also. Great vibe yet very peaceful. There is a lot of variety of alcoholic drinks, they are very fresh. Unfortunately for me only one non-alcoholic drink is available - root beer. But I loved this drink. A lot of games are available. Lovely dogs to play with. The owner lady is very lovely and friendly. I recommend this place 100%“

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

“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. :)“

“One evening, I decided to stop by this bar. I wasn’t in the mood for anything heavy; I wanted something fruity. The bartender noticed that I was about to leave without ordering a drink, so she offered to make me a Painkiller, which is a drink they don’t typically serve.“

“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“

“Muy excelente la atención“

“Maggie’s is an awesome spot with a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and equally friendly customers. The service is excellent, and the vibe makes it a place worth coming back to. Whether you're stopping by during the day or night, you’re in for a good time. Definitely a five-star experience!“

“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😊“

“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.“

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