AtlantaAugust 15, 2014With 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.
Intown Expert, Jennifer Kjellgren & AssociatesFebruary 7, 2013My 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.
Brad HagerJuly 31, 2019Such 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.
Gabrielle WilliamsAugust 2, 2016This 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.
Stina P.December 7, 2017one 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
Dwight ดนัยAugust 13, 2015Giant 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.
Paula MadeiraJuly 9, 2017Tons 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.
AFAR MediaApril 24, 2015The 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
Creative Loafing AtlantaMay 1, 2015Light, 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
First We FeastAugust 3, 2014The 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
- Creative Loafing AtlantaSeptember 19, 2013Keep 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
Alex DuncanAugust 10, 2014The 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.
CameronSeptember 16, 2014Extremely impressed with the extensive list of craft beers, bourbon, and scotch. Try the grapefruit margarita. Definitely order the mussels and the fries
Adam GoldbergAugust 8, 2014The 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.
- Creative Loafing AtlantaSeptember 19, 2013There'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
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!
Aly PittNovember 10, 2013This 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.
360 MediaJuly 23, 2012Even 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
Incredible beer list. Did battle with the sours, an alternating list of Wicked Weed and Orpheus. Lots of vintage stuff.
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?
Hasani WidemondJuly 8, 2015This place is Atlanta's greatest secret. Ordering beer like you would fine wine! What an amazing experience
Sarah FuhrmannApril 28, 2013Great 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.
Ana RodriguezDecember 15, 2014Excellent 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
Aurelia KimeDecember 26, 2011JW'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
Aaron CruzJuly 24, 2013If you love beer hit up this restaurant/bar in the Little Five Points neighborhood. An enormous International beer selection. Get the salt & vinegar popcorn.
Social Espionage, LLCAugust 13, 2011Wonderful 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.
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.
Oakland CemeteryFebruary 25, 2011Crave 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!
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, 2016Obviously the beer is good, but the good is surprisingly good as well. Sausage lovers should try the Porn Dog.
Jessica SchmidtSeptember 24, 2011Fell 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!
Tasting TableAugust 5, 2014The selection of beers is vast and spans the globe, including a large library of hard-to-find vintage bottles. Read more
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!- Dali CalicoolAugust 6, 2014Narrow hallways, big steps, loads of beer choices. The goat cheese fritters in honey is always a favorite.
Petra WillemseAugust 6, 2014Excellent if overwhelming choices of beer. Fantastic food too. Listen to the bartender, he can help!!
One of the best beer bars in the country, but don't miss out on their awesome food!
B HebsonSeptember 16, 2015The salt and vinegar popcorn is a great compliment with the most amazing beer list ever
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.
Colton GriffinAugust 14, 2014It's all about the beer! And the food is delicious as well. From brunch to dinner, you can't go wrong.- The Cheeseburger I raved about in my last review was soggy today. Was a little disappointed. Did get to finally try the goat cheese fritters though. They were the highlight.
Look out for Beer Class & Beer Dinner dates each month - a great chance to try excellent beers and food you may not have otherwise tasted!
Todd WhiteAugust 21, 2014Amazing beer selection. Super knowledgable staff. Great food. French fries are amazing.
David TaylorAugust 22, 2014Great food + one of the best beer selections in Atlanta. (Not to mention knowledgeable staff)
Video_BeanJune 14, 2010Pabst’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
Joe ReynoldsAugust 21, 2014Very good food. Best beer in town... tons to offer. Place to be for a great dinner.
Awesome music, insane beer selection, bartenders who actually know about beer & AMAZING food. If you skip this place you make poor choices.
