Nice, open space brewpub. Service was outstanding. Selection is not huge, but tasty. Food was excellent.

Nice industrial brick building with exposed duct work. They have a fairly large restaurant with pizza, burgers, and other pub food. There are two floors with brewing vessels on both. We had some wood fired pizzas that were decent, and a pork belly BBQ sandwich that we had to send back because the pork belly was so tough that it was pretty much inedible. The beers were all pretty decent. A bit pricey.

A brewery in downtown a block from the Hyatt where the conference was held. Kind of an old school bar atmosphere, lots of wood. I didn't even know there was an upstairs bar until reading other reviews just now :). I sat downstairs and ordered a flight. Service good. Food available, but I did not try it. Six beers on the flight out of about 8 of their own on tap. 5 were very average, but the IPA stood out as a solid contender. Surprisingly the place was not busy at 5PM on a Thursday; I would have thought that it would have caught more after work traffic, but maybe that comes later. Now I wish I would have seen the upstairs bar.

A solid brewpub in downtown Atlanta. The main area is the downstairs. When I was there I'm not sure the upstairs was open; it looked empty when I passed by to get to the bathrooms. Plenty of TVs showing sports; pub-like atmosphere. They had about 8 house beers on, a guest cider, and a bunch of bottles. The beers were average to above average (I tried the IPA, traditional ale, dopplebock, IPA, and IIPA). The food menu is typical pub fare, and they have wood-fire grilled pizzas (veggie pizza was delicious). Overall, a solid stop and worth checking out.

Updated: Visited again Thanksgiving afternoon, when both their own web site and Google maps were showing them open. Found them closed. When a business does not bother to be open, or post accurate hours, it should not expect a repeat visit. Original review: Large place, two floors. Busy decour with brewing equipment throughout. 6 own beers on tap downstairs, flight of 6 for $14. Lots of assorted bottles in the fridge.

Great place. The beer are so much more diverse and better now, lots of sours, a good DIPA, etc, The upstairs bar is great, excellent food, an underrated gem in Atlanta.

I was vry pleasantly surprised by this place. I sat down at the atmospheric but small downstairs bar, with a few of the copper jacketed kettles. But the bar lady directed me upstairs where the taplist is bigger and where they had special Shelton Brothers beers on. So upstairs there are copper jacketed fermenters, and you walk through the barrel room to the L shaped bar in back, with some bar tables as well. Ignore the chalkboard list, the printed list is accurate. Nearly a dozen of their beers on, tasty enough with some very solid ones. Flights of four available. And then a dozen more guest taps. Great service, tasty and piping hot food. What’s not to like!

In the door around 1PM on a Thursday in mid August 2017, straight off the MARTA from the airport. Cool fairly open interior downstairs, upstairs (which is where the restrooms are) looks rather nice as well. Six of their own beers on when I went, and that seems to be the standard, with a seventh tap offering a cider. Flight of all six at 5oz each is available. The room smells of barbecue and slow burning wood. Food menu is solid but slightly pricey for what I recall of Atlanta on my last trip, but that was a couple years ago, and this is right in the middle of the city, so that could be a part of it. Seems to be a well loved place, as there’s quite the good crowd going around lunch time. Had a great time here, worth a visit.
Didn’t get a chance on the first visit to get to the upstairs which has an expanded list of 14 of their own, with a bunch of more interesting looking things. Definitely a reason to get back.
Edit: Came back the following day (Friday) when the upstairs bar opened at noon and went through another 10 of their beers, with the bulk being sours (might have been busting out a more diverse set of things for the Shelton Festival being in town), and a few barrel aged imperial stouts. Quite worth going upstairs.

Popular twin-floored brick brewpub at the top end of Peachtree Street in the city centre, just where the road slightly changes direction. There’s two bars here on either level, but the main action seems to take place downstairs with its bar area against the right hand side. There’s plenty of their ales available, best tried through their six-flight option if you want to give as many a go as possible. It’s a lovely place with a balcony at the rear of its top floor.

Went here on consecutive early-week nights and it was packed both times, but the staff handled the onslaught well. Pleasant refurbished two-story brick and wood interior has a nice ambiance but got a bit noisy for my old ears. 6 home team drafts at a time plus about 50 bottles that are well-selected crafts with an emphasis on Georgia brews. I had the six-flight and then some selected pints and all of them were good to excellent. Wood-fired grill made a fabulous steak one night and a good pizza the next. Value is great for the quality of the offerings, especially in a downtown location. They are currently expanding out the back to incorporate a biergarten in the near future.
