The Porter Beer - Atlanta

This is my favorite spot to grab a bite before concerts at the Variety Playhouse, which is conveniently located just across the street. They offer a wide selection of beers and have a menu of elevated pub food. The service is friendly and attentive. Overall, it's considered one of the best beer bars in the USA.

I visited for a drink on a Sunday afternoon and really enjoyed the atmosphere. There was a great selection of drinks to choose from. I also noticed a basement room featuring an old brewery, which can be reserved for larger groups.

My boyfriend and I ordered the fish and chips (cod) and a burger, and I must say, it was some of the best food I've ever had! The fries were absolutely outstanding—definitely the best I've tasted! I will wholeheartedly recommend this place to my family and friends!

I had one of their amber ales, a chicken sandwich, and their goat cheese fritters. While Porter Beer Bar is quite expensive, the food they offer is almost magical in quality. The goat cheese fritters were coated in a thin layer of honey and it perfectly balanced its pungency. They were melt in your mouth and incredible. The chicken sandwich was great in a unique way in that the slaw on it gave it a nice herbal taste. The fries that came along with it were perfectly cooked and seasoned with a delicious garlic/chive like concoction. The beer itself.... well it's beer. There are a huge amount of options to explore. It is definitely worth coming here at least once while in Atlanta!

The mussel appetizer was amazing. Great flavor and very hefty portion provided at a great price. The beer selection was outstanding. The selection and variety is heavier in the bottles than draft, but the various types, brands, and styles are great. I will say the draft beers were warmer than I prefer. I would go back to try some of the other options.
