If you can find it, it means you're one of the cool kids. Most nights they have a young crowd (it's 21+), but there are theme nights, and the tiny concert venue next door dumps people in after shows. Back in the day, you actually had to know where you were going, now your Lyft driver can drop you right at the door. Also, this place is super thrifty, but bring cash because they don't take cards and the ATM has high fees.

The grungiest of dive bars; we love it. It was featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives a few years back which has un-grungified the clientele. The food is very yum and definitely not just bar fare. Heads up - this is one of the few places left in Atlanta where you can still smoke inside, whether that deters or attracts you.

The first brewery in the city, and one of Atlanta's best known is located right in our neighborhood in the Armour Yards area. It's not the best area to walk to due to all of the traffic headed towards the interstate but it's a short car service ride away!
