The Orpheus Chickataur was fruity and sour, like drinking a grapefruit with zero after taste. The saltiness of the charcuterie board really brought out the smoky vanilla taste of the beer. The Stone Smoked Porter with Vanilla was tastebud heaven. I felt like a marathon runner at the start of a race! Call me a wimp but I was sharing a beer with Tim…we had seven bars lined up for the day and I was pacing myself. As we munched on the charcuterie board we sampled three different beers. The bar called “Upstairs and to the left,” the name identifying its location, has an emphasis on Belgian beers.Įven though we were at a Belgian bar, we sampled American beer. The main bar serves a collection of American, German, and English beer. We walked into a rustic-style pub with old brick walls, Belgian flags hanging from the ceiling, and bars on the first and second levels. The Brick Store Pub, a Belgian bar located in Decatur, was one of our favorites. Caroline was joining us now as we toured more of Atlanta’s best bars. At number 125 he got his photo on the wall and now qualifies for 20 oz beers at a 16 oz price.įor beer connesieurs, The Fred is an excellent bar to visit. The Fred and Taco Mac have points cards, where regular customers can keep track of all of the beers they have tried. A taste of Bavaria brewed in Wisconsin…who would have thought of that? The taste…smooth, chocolatey, like your tongue is floating down the Willy Wonka chocolate river while Tim is nearby, singing “oompa loompa.” I had no idea that beer could fuse so well with a rich, chocolatey taste.īoth Tim and Thomas ordered the Speechwriter Black Bavarian, a light bodied lager with a lot of roasted flavor. Breathing it in, it smells just like Hershey’s cocoa powder. It was here that I drank the best glass of beer that I have ever had. The Fred offers cocktails, beer, and a long list of draft and bottled beer. The menu is an iPad (points for a cool idea) but you still order via the wait staff (cool points lost). Here we met Thomas’ friend, Robert, and settled in. The bar was quiet, cozy, and very comfortable. We pressed the red panic button and within seconds were whisked into the bar. Tim and I followed Thomas down a small alleyway to what looked like the back door into a restaurant. As Tim and I would learn, Atlanta is fond of these secret bars. This was another bar for those “in-the-know,” as Thomas had us searching for the second hidden door of the night. The Fred is associated with Taco Mac, a larger chain of restaurants/bars in Atlanta. The Georgia Chapter Room is referred to as “The Fred” by its regular customers. Next up was a favorite of Thomas’ and a bar that he visits quite frequently. Both were delicious and maybe, dare I say, even better than the cocktails. We ordered appetizers as well, dining on Prince Edward Island Mussels and the Mercier Orchard Apple Salad. What did we order? The Mook Jong, tasting like a less intense version of a Red Bull, the Phantom Punch, tasting like juice fresh from a juicer (Tim said he’d want to drink this after a P90X workout), and the Mockingbird, tasting like grapefruit juice and was collectively our favorite drink of the three. We found a small table, were greeted with true southern hospitality (I was called “doll” by our waitress and the three of us were constantly being referred to as “y’all), and took a look at the menu.Įleanor’s is a great place for cocktails, with many sophisticated selections, especially if you do not have a taste for sweet cocktails. Behind this door was Eleanor’s, the hidden bar of Muss and Turners. Thomas pointed the way to the hidden door, an unassuming refrigerator style door. What’s so special about Muss and Turner’s is not the main eating area but the hidden bar that only visitors in-the-know get to access. Thomas, Tim and I walked into a warmly lit space, filled with patrons munching on salads and sandwiches.
