The Stay Put

"A respite from the frenzy of Rainey, this casual brewery and bar comes from from the same hospitality group as nearby Half Step. Look for easy-drinking beers and draft cocktails, like the passion fruit marg, a pecan Old Fashioned, and a build-your-own mule. It offers happy hour Monday through Friday from opening to 6 p.m. There are family-style tables outside, and tables plus bar seating inside — and a foosball table, if you dare." - Erin Russell

"There are a lot of places to grab a beer on Rainey Street, but only one spot brews their own: The Stay Put. Walking into the remodeled bungalow feels a little like entering a meal hall at an old camping lodge with rows of semi-communal tables, old wooden floorboards, and a long oak bar counter with a few brass taps. And if you’re there with your dog, there’s a pet-friendly patio out back (plus another bar). The beers are solid—we like the IPA—and they have cocktails on draft if you’re in the mood for something a little stronger." - raphael brion, nicolai mccrary
