A typical convention type restaurant, but a nice selection of beers. Seems focused on ales. Good selection of Sweetwater and Terraping. Other breweries are limited to mostly single offerings. However, given it’s location next to the convention center it’s nice to have a good beer selection. Food was OK, chips and salsa along with veggie quesadillas. Prices are pretty good given the location.

I spent every afternoon and evening in this bar everyday for 9 days. The bartenders were great at suggestions as well as keeping the free samples flowing. This is also where I was introduced to what would become a favorite, but one that I can’t get in OK, Sweetwater 420.

sterile, dark, loud, corporate. full of unenthusiastic staff. 130 beers on tap but few things of interest. some terrapins, sweetwater, smuttynose, stone, etc. also: frosted glasses.

Pretty cool place. Lots of selection on Tap and the bottles are reasonably priced. Didn’t have any food while i was there but it looked good. A place to hit if you are in downtown Atlanta.

Philips Arena kicks ass and a beer bar inside is one reason why. You can’t take the beer to your seat but there is enough between-period time to sip on a pint. Good selection similar to the other Taco Macs.

I presume this isn’t much different than any other Taco Mac, except fewer kids and it’s in the arena. You can come in here for a beer during the game but you can’t take the beer back to your seat with you. Boo!
