Tag: Little Five Points

Given the current state of independent bookstores, we had a few anxious moments while opening our latest email from A Cappella Books owner Frank Reiss. In February, the 22-year-old Little Five Points mainstay is moving to a new location in Inman Park.

There are more than ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall behind the bar at The Porter (I counted). There are tap handles by the dozen. The bar could overwhelm even the most dedicated beer drinker with the depth and breadth of its inventory. But instead of just playing a numbers game, the young owners display a curatorial finesse. Better yet, without gloating about running a “gastropub,” they serve pretty remarkable casual food to go along with the lagers, pilsners, Belgian whites, and, of course, their favorite porters.
