With more than 800 beers, The Porter, in Atlanta’s Little Five Points neighborhood, will give you plenty of reasons to return. Find your new favorite brew and don’t miss their famous Belgian Fries.

My favorite restaurant/bar in L5P - this narrow space opens up to a unique dining area in the back. Try the Belgian Fries and Grilled Caesar Salad, though I've never had had bad meal here.

Such a great whole in the wall beer bar. Not the kind of place I would bring a date but a really GOOD selection of unique beers. The Petrus Chocolate Cherry Quad is a must, delicious and decadent.

This place is amazing. Best Mac & cheese I've ever had in my life. The service was phenomenal and there are SO many options to chose from for drinks. We had the fish & chips, and flank steak as well.

Keep an eye out for new-to-Georgia selections such as Chicago's Local Option and Italy's Birrificio di Como at this 2013 Best of Atlanta Critics Pick. Don't forget to ask about special brews on draft. Read more

Giant selection for the beer lovers. If new start with draft beer. Great pub food and chging special menu. Reg food menu is good, if a bit predictable for Atlanta. Seating is tight so make friends.

one of the best beer selections in the country w/ great specials - two full lists of gose and sour! food is awesome as well - try the arugula salad and the fries and sit at the bar
Paula MadeiraJuly 9, 2017
Tons of different beers, it is an awesome variety, and all kinda prices and sizes. If you love beer this is the place to go!! Also, order the popcorn with vinegar, u won't regret a bit.

The portions are massive, particularly the buffalo shrimp po boy with herb fries. It can rarely be said that everything on a menu is good, but the Porter may just be an exception. Read more

The fries are maybe the best you can get in Atlanta. Or anywhere. I also know someone who says the burger here is better than burgers at the Vortex, which says a lot. The beer selection is also huge.
Creative Loafing AtlantaSeptember 19, 2013
There's a wood-aged brew every Wed., a cask selection every Fri., and a rotating lineup of 10-15 brews, all made in-house. Try the Hop Noggin Imperial IPA at this 2013 Best of Atlanta Critics Pick. Read more
CameronSeptember 16, 2014
Extremely impressed with the extensive list of craft beers, bourbon, and scotch. Try the grapefruit margarita. Definitely order the mussels and the fries

Light, puffy morsels of popped corn are showered in salt and vinegar powder and scooped into heaping bowls, to be enjoyed with one of more than 800 beer choices. Read more

The location in the heart of the bohemian Little Five Points adds to the allure, since you can always find the streets crawling with the cool, the funky, and the downright weird. Read more

This place is great. Super cool set up, and an awesome place to relax and have a beer. Pretty much any beer you want, they probably have too. Definitely going back soon.
Adam GoldbergAugust 8, 2014
The salt and vinegar popcorn was really good. The beer selection is insane. The shrimp and grits were pretty good too, but super heavy. Should have gone with the burger.

The beer selection is excellent, but don't neglect the food menu! The burgers here blew our minds, and with those yummy herb fries, this place easily has better eats than the Vortex. Sorry, Vortex!
AJCMarch 14, 2013
It's the extra work in the kitchen that pays off at the table: consistent small touches such the lightness of the french fries, served with snappy dips such as charred onion mayonnaise, Belgian style. Read more

I don't even have to mention the beer selection because Im pretty sure you could figure that out because the name has "beer bar" in it but the burgers! The bacon cheeseburger blew my mind. Vortex who?

Incredible beer list. Did battle with the sours, an alternating list of Wicked Weed and Orpheus. Lots of vintage stuff.
Ana RodriguezDecember 15, 2014
Excellent place, you can sit on the bar side or the tables. So many beers you won't be able to choose. Bad thing, they don't have parking lot
Sarah FuhrmannApril 28, 2013
Great place! More beers than you can possibly imagine and the best part is they have the glasses to go with each one. Salt and vinegar popcorn. Mmmmm.
360 MediaJuly 23, 2012
Even if you usually stick to Bud Light, tell the staff what you like and they'll hook you up with beers you'll love. Knock a few back and then dive into the delicious salt and vinegar popcorn! -AF
Social Espionage, LLCAugust 13, 2011
Wonderful international beer list, hard to taste just one. Get the goat-cheese fritters with honey, veggie burger is good, but if they have the smoked tofu BLT - get it! Trust me.
Aaron CruzJuly 24, 2013
If you love beer hit up this restaurant/bar in the Little Five Points neighborhood. An enormous International beer selection. Get the salt & vinegar popcorn.
Jessica SchmidtSeptember 24, 2011
Fell in love with this place. One of the best beer lists I've ever seen! Rustic and unpretentious with incredible food. The shrimp & grits is like heaven on a plate!
Oakland CemeteryFebruary 25, 2011
Crave from the Grave: Terrific beer bar in Little 5 that offers a large selection of brews. Definitely start your meal off with the salt & vinegar popcorn and give the reuben a try. Delicious!
Hasani WidemondJuly 8, 2015
This place is Atlanta's greatest secret. Ordering beer like you would fine wine! What an amazing experience
Colton GriffinAugust 14, 2014
It's all about the beer! And the food is delicious as well. From brunch to dinner, you can't go wrong.

Amazing beer selection and tasty apps but service has always been sub par... Servers need to be friendlier and actually care about their patrons. That is all. With better service, I will visit more!
Alex RavenelMarch 19, 2016
Obviously the beer is good, but the good is surprisingly good as well. Sausage lovers should try the Porn Dog.
Christen CleminsDecember 30, 2017
Get the pull apart pretzel - get two! And such a great beer list!

The best beer bar in Atlanta, and one of the best restaurants too. You just can't beat the constantly changing draught list and food specials. Yum!

One of the best beer bars in the country, but don't miss out on their awesome food!

One of the best craft beer bars in Atlanta. Ask the bartender what's new...they are always getting in tasty, hard to find beers.

The selection of beers is vast and spans the globe, including a large library of hard-to-find vintage bottles. Read more

I love that the beer list is constantly changing. Try something from the daily food specials especially if there is a pasta or ramen dish. You can't beat Nick's homemade noodles/pasta.

Pixies "Gouge Away" playing. Love this place. Now, Prince "Darling Nikki" is on. So awesome. Oh, and the food and beer menu rocks, too.

JW's Moonraker is num&the goatcheese fritters with honey once cooled r tasty,tho would prefer the honey in a dipping container for less sticky hands-on eating.overall grade for 1st time vist A. W.B.B
Susan ArnoldDecember 11, 2013
Tasty buffalo shrimp po-boy and surprisingly tasty side salad. This might just become my regular order here!
Dali CalicoolAugust 6, 2014
Narrow hallways, big steps, loads of beer choices. The goat cheese fritters in honey is always a favorite.
Joe ReynoldsAugust 21, 2014
Very good food. Best beer in town... tons to offer. Place to be for a great dinner.

The salt and vinegar popcorn is a great compliment with the most amazing beer list ever

Great food + one of the best beer selections in Atlanta. (Not to mention knowledgeable staff)

Fantastic selection, fantastic decor! Loved it!

Excellent if overwhelming choices of beer. Fantastic food too. Listen to the bartender, he can help!!

Pabst’s success at beer competitions prompts the hand-tying of blue ribbons on every bottle neck. This lead to the name change from Best Select to Blue Ribbon Beer in 1898. American history in a can. Read more
