"Undoubtedly one of the poshest breweries in Atlanta, the Upper Westside’s Bold Monk delivers an extraordinary three-level drinking experience. Lead-paned windows, velvet and leather seating, and wood floors give the space a sophisticated flair, and you’ll also find a beer garden with fire pits, a library, a coffee bar, and a barrel room ideal for private dinners. The award-winning Belgian-inspired ales and lagers and the outstanding culinary program (look for Belgian frites, brisket poutine, wood-grilled salmon, and mussels) are collectively the true draw, but the stunning decor is an invaluable complement.
