Smith's Olde Bar Atlanta

The bar downstairs is smokey (in a good way) and the upstairs music venue plays host to rock locals and visiting players.

Cypress Street Pint & Plate Atlanta

This side street bar is an under-the-radar fave for comfort food, the occasional crawfish boil, and can’t-miss beer fests. Post-Halo Lounge nightcaps are a must.

The Standard Atlanta

A bocce ball court, glassed-off patio, and bar bites from edamame to peri-peri chicken raise the bar at this casual watering hole.

Publik Draft House Atlanta

Perfect locale for a post-Fox Theatre show cocktail or slice from the chilled dessert counter. Mammoth chalkboards boast pub plates like beef skewers, fried oysters, and wines by the bottle or glass.

Tavern 99 Atlanta

Six cheesy burgers; 27 beers on tap; and a mondo, two-level patio. Sounds like quintessential drinking at this East Andrews watering hole, all right.

Cafe Circa Atlanta

Grab a table at this woody urban bistro and prepare for a Caribbean-tinged plate of yum. Cuban gumbo, mango mimosas, and a new brunch menu (try the sofrito grits!) go great with impromptu live jam sessions.

Over 100 American microbrews, darts, pool, and perpetually dusky lighting at the unpretentious Edgewood outpost.
