"If you’re a beer lover, The Porter, a landmark beer hall in Little Five Points, should be on your radar. It's been around since 2008 and has been through its share of adventures, including a two-year pandemic closing. But one thing has remained the same—their massive beer selection of 60 drafts, including a wide variety of regional brews and more than 800 bottles of cellar-aged beer. If you need a brew break, try their lemon gingerade. Flavored with housemade lemon-ginger syrup, the refreshing drink pairs perfectly with their incredible, tender beer-brined roast chicken and fries. Grab a seat with your crew at the ridiculously long bar up front or make your way to the noisy two-tiered dining room. Food Rundown Black Truffle Deviled Eggs You get five, and they’re great—creamy, with the truffle, chives, and pepper adding a subtle tang. Crispy Hen of the Woods Mushrooms These mushrooms are huge and crunchy. It's a big portion, so it’s a great order for sharing. Pull-A-Part Pretzel Soft in the middle, salty on top, and served with a side of silky cheese. You could come here just for this. Fish n’ Chips The fish is fine—a solid take on the classic with one huge piece of crunchy, salt-crusted haddock. But the fries are the real stars here—crispy, salty, and sprinkled with parsley. Roast Chicken A standout dish—a beer-brine gives it a deep flavor. And it’s topped with herby zhoug. Grilled Cauliflower This feels like it clocked out of its shift at some fine dining restaurant, and came to the bar for a drink. With crispy salad in a zesty vinaigrette, a cauliflower puree base, and big meaty mushrooms, it's one of the best-tasting (and best-looking) vegetable dishes you’ll find at a pub. photo credit: Tabia Lisenbee-Parker photo credit: Tabia Lisenbee-Parker photo credit: Tabia Lisenbee-Parker" - Jacinta Howard
"The Porter in Little Five Points has been a landing spot for beer lovers since 2008. After closing for two years during the pandemic, it has reopened under new ownership with a revamped menu and interior. But we’re glad they’ve kept their most important attribute—their beer selection, which has more options than Tubi has obscure movies. Bring a big group and impress your beer-snob friend with a wide selection of regional brews, 60 taps (they added 18 since reopening), and more than 800 bottles of cellar-aged beer. Grab a seat at the long bar or in the two-tiered dining room, then order the tender beer-brined roast chicken and crispy fries." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"It’s all about the beer at The Porter. The word “extensive” does not quite manage to capture their 800+ choice beer list. From Tripels to Flanders Red Ales to Lambics, every style of beer is represented here. The menu of inventive bar food — like a house-smoked kabano sausage topped with giardinera — suggests pairings for each dish. The bar also hosts a variety of tastings and classes. Lunch and dinner are served daily, plus a “hair of the dog” brunch on Sunday." - Rogers Eckersley Design
"Beer lovers unite at this long and skinny bar in the funky Little Five Points area. Select a brew from an extensive draft, bottle, and vintage beer menu. Then pair it with goat cheese fritters or the addictive salt and vinegar popcorn.Where: 1156 Euclid Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30307" - MATADOR_NETWORK
