Highlights

Lee + White has emerged as one of Atlanta’s most exciting mixed-use destinations. The redevelopment of the West End community’s former “Warehouse Row” showcases a mix of cutting-edge breweries, restaurants, retailers and food manufacturers. Now Ackerman & Co. and MDH Partners are moving forward with the next phase in the transformation of Lee + White, a model of adaptive re-use development. With a focus on contributing to the growth and energy of Atlanta’s historic West End, the next chapter in the Lee + White redevelopment will diversify the project’s offerings to include a food hall, unique retail spaces and creative loft offices. The ongoing redevelopment will continue in a spirit that recognizes the West End’s rich history while seeking community input to create an authentic urban experience. This development philosophy will expand an already diverse roster of tenants who are proud to be a part of the West End community and one of Atlanta’s trendsetting mixed-use developments.

"Fermented products market Cultured South at the Lee + White complex in West End is adding a new kombucha to its taproom lineup — a grapefruit and rosemary kombucha infused with cannabidiol (CBD.) This is a first for owner Melanie Wade’s shop, which offers kombucha on tap made by her fermented tea company, Golda Kombucha. It’s also one of the first Georgia beverage companies to take advantage of the new Agriculture Improvement Act, signed into law by President Trump last month, containing provisions legalizing industrial hemp, from which non-psychoactive CBD is extracted." - Beth McKibben

Cultured South is the cutest place! They have kombucha (you can also add CBD to it!) and art for sale! They have food too, but we didn’t order any. I tried the Lavender Lemon kombucha and it was delicious! Really easy to drink! It reminded me of a sour beer. My friends tried the Strawberry Mint and Blue-Grass CBD kombucha and they liked theirs too! Plenty of outdoor seating with some shade. Lots of space to socially distance. They have sanitizer and are wearing masks. If you like kombucha, highly recommend!

Amazing! Try the kombucha flight! The cheeze sampler is very good!

Fun spot in same complex as Honeysuckle Gelato on one side, and patio seating facing the Beltline on the other. Got the flight of kombucha so I could try more flavors (5) - loved the Botanist’s Cream Soda so much I bought a growler of it to go. Proper set ups for social distancing with hand sanitizer at each entrance, staff all masked up, stylus pens for signing for cc payments sterilized after each use, so felt totally safe.

I grew up in Atlanta and this place has rapidly become one of my favorites in the whole city. I didn’t even like kombucha before I came here, plus they have a CBD-infused option (which I get every time) and a menu of vegan foods (including this amazing hummus plate). There is plenty of seating indoor and out, right on the west end beltline. Love this place!

I've been wanting to come here for a while but needed someone who enjoyed Kombucha as much as me to go with me. For my birthday my friends came to Cultured South. I was surprised to see so many flavors. And the flavors were so unique. Lets just say...I tried most of them. LOL! Two of my friend had never had it before but found it tasty. My bestfriend and I love Kombucha so we tasted almost every flavor they had. They only reason we stopped is because we because full. The young man was extremely nice and offered me a mango ice cream for my birthday. And trust me...it did not disappoint. I enjoyed myself so much, I plan to return soon.

Nice chill vibe and right off the beltline! Tons of flavors on tap with a bunch of rotating seasonal ones too. You can even get 32oz or 64os growlers! They also have some great vegan eats (and some non vegan too). Definitely make a stop in here!

Cultured South is THE spot for kombucha in Atlanta. They have a variety of flavors on tap as well as canned kombucha to take home. They have certain flavors that are already infused with CBD, but you can also add CBD to anything on tap (I almost always do). Aside from kombucha cultured South offers kava shots, tepache, kefir, baked goods, and a small food menu. They have plenty of take home goodies like CBD massage oil and tinctures, delta-9 gummies, & kava, as well as a bunch of other stuff. They also have a loyalty card where after a certain number of purchases from the tap (can’t remember the number off the top of my head), you get a pint free! If you’re a kombucha lover, this place is a must try.

I discovered Cultured South after trying CBD kombucha at a restaurant, which made me want to find other places that have it. I love kombucha, so I think it’s super cool that they exclusively serve it. There were a ton of flavors, and the person who served us was very helpful! They have a great offer available on Groupon, so I used it to get 4 drinks and 2 cans to go for less than $20! The offer is for regular kombucha, but you can just pay a $1.50 up-charge per drink to get it with CBD. I had the Blue-Grass CBD Kombucha and really liked it! Cultured South is located on the Belt Line next to a few other breweries, so it’s easy to walk over to other spots if you also want alcoholic drinks. They have a great outdoor seating area, and it’s clear they are serious about their Covid safety precautions with hand sanitizer available outside the entrances and signs requesting that it be used before entry. I look forward to coming here again!

Love the parking!!! Can't enough of free parking! The place sits off in the cut near the Westside Atlanta Beltline. Its Huge warehouses that are split into 2 sides or 3 ..Retail, Food Hall and Office Suites. I like the airy open walls near the food hall. You got to check this spot out of in the area by the AUC and Lee street.

There are a lot of businesses at Lee + White. When it is busy there are not many other places to park when the lots are full. I do want to return to the food hall because there were a lot of restaurant options and it took me a long time to decide which one to try. I like that the food hall has a lot of outdoor seating because the indoor seating is limited and was almost completely full on the day I visited. I also have been to Best End Brewing and Monday Night Brewery at this location.

I absolutely love the revitalization of an old historic place into a place that can be used in our modern times (especially if it doesn't encroach on gentrification.) In this country, this usually does means that a warehouse has turned into a place to eat and/or drink. Lee + White is a gorgeous example of just that. I am not a local so I'm not sure if it gets a lot of traffic or not but it was pretty packed when we went on a Saturday night. Some of the outlying vendors were closed but the main buildings all had activity. The lay out of the place is very nice and the parking lot seems fairly large. I liked the amount of accessibility via foot traffic, as we came from the train station. There was also a cop waiting by the exit, I'm sure to make sure that there wasn't drunk driving happening. I appreciated that.

Located on the Beltline's Westside Trail, Lee + White is a 426,000sq space home to native breweries, distilleries, and eateries including: -Monday Night Garage -ASW Distillery -Wild Heaven Beer -Cultured South Fermentation Co. -Boxcar at Hop City -Best End Brewing Co, and more... Lee + White used to be known as Warehouse Row since 1950s because they reuse brick warehouses for the businesses. This is such a cool concept, and it is like nothing I've seen before. I heard some people call it "Beer Town" and I thought it was great. This place is totally perfect for bar hopping, or just enjoy to taste new stuff. It is easily accessible from the West End MARTA Station, but there is PLENTY of parking as well.

Lee + White solía ser conocido como Warehouse Row desde 1950 porque los lugares reutilizan almacenes de ladrillo para sus negocios. Este es un concepto genial, y no se parece a nada que haya visto antes. Escuché a algunas personas llamarlo "Beer Town" y pensé que era genial. Este lugar es totalmente perfecto para ir de bares o simplemente disfrutar de probar cosas nuevas. Es fácilmente accesible desde la estación MARTA del West End, pero también hay MUCHO estacionamiento.

Lee + White has the potential to truly be authentic in how they serve the near by communities. But instead, they pretty much serve the same dishes at every establishment. The same thing I can buy at Boxcar, I could buy at Monday Night Brewing, and can order again at wild Haven. And you can tell that the food is catered to a certain kind of crowd (literally no flavor in ANYTHING). They really need to take a page from The Works ATL and have authentic establishments that bring different kinds of options, from Jamaican, to Mediterranean, to Asian cuisines! I should not be able to order a burger and fries at EVERY restaurant in that district.

Maria O. gave an excellent review and even touched on some history. I agree that Lee & White is a cool concept and on the particular day that I was out there, there were vendors and live music to boot. Seeing as how I made my visit in Summer and hers was in Winter, I might dispute her parking assessment (Depending on when you go), as I had quite the challenge finding parking myself. I would also say that Vegetarians might find the pickings slim, but if you wanna drink - Oh boy!!!

The Beltline is now studded with various industrial conversions that host diverse restaurants and breweries, but Lee+White is the best one of all. I live in Midtown and can easily access Ponce City Market and Krog Street Market, but not infrequently we pile into the car and drive to Lee+White. Lee+White has character. I have lived in Atlanta since the mid-90s, and back in the day many neighborhoods in Atlanta had character. They were not cookie cutter, they were diverse, they didn't ooze money, style-correctness, and political-correctness. Much as I love Midtown, its hipness is rather generic. The breweries, restaurants, and clientele at Lee+White are diverse, interesting, sexy -- you name it, and not because they are striving to be that, but simply because they are. It is the most racially-mixed place I know, but it is not as the result of affirmative action or liberal guilt; it is just because black and white people live in the neighborhood. The food and drink is very good. Monday Night Brewing has an amazing balcony and great beer. Wild Heaven has good pub food and great people watching. Boxcar is a bit fancier, and the food is excellent. The Balkan dining at Best End Brewery is delicious. The outdoor seating faces south, so even on a chill winter day you can dine outside in the sunshine. And the Beltline is right there, so if you are lucky you can get there by bike. This is not one of Atlanta's fanciest places, but it is one of the best.
