Atlanta Bars & Breweries: Starter List

Distilleries, breweries, cocktail bars, and patio hangs to work through first.

Bars ATL spans distillery tasting rooms (ASW), brewery patios with fire pits (Monday Night Garage), intimate cocktail bars (Little Spirit), and a converted rail depot with the city's best oyster-and-cocktail program (Kimball House, just outside the city in Decatur). This is a starting point, not a ranking.
