27 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!!“

“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!“

“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. 😂😂😂😂😂“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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..“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“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.“
