35. Ladybird Grove and Mess Hall
Nestled against the busy BeltLine Eastside Trail, this sprawling restaurant and hangout spot is a hipster haven.
2. Wrecking Bar Brewpub
In a city that has leveled so much of its history, what Bob and Kristine Sandage have done to renovate the circa 1900 Kriegshaber mansion on Moreland, just south of Little Five Points, is nothing short of heroic.
4. Brick Store Pub
Brick Store has been around for more than two decades, which makes it the eminence grise of Decatur Square bars. Like many of the beers it cellars, the place only gets better with age.
30. The Porter Beer Bar
Do yourself a favor and play beer roulette with the Porter’s menu of vintage beers, which goes on for page after page.
13. Manuel’s Tavern
One of the few bars in town that earns the label “institution,” Manuel’s is beloved by longtime intowners, cops, reporters, and politicos.
7. The Sound Table
This impossibly hip and refreshingly diverse Edgewood lounge, from co-owner and DJ Karl Injex, is a worthy destination for its sultry sets and its strong yet playful cocktails.
15. Blind Willie’s
The late-night denizens of Virginia-Highland (college kids in oxford shirts, midnight joggers, Audi drivers) would be unfamiliar to this place’s namesake. But the spirit of Blind Willie McTell remains alive and well behind these brick walls.
14. Leon’s Full Service
Leon’s U-shaped bar encourages conversation. Its clever cocktail list encourages experimentation and its extensive beer menu will delight any hops snob.
12. Holeman and Finch Public House
