    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.

    Great server, lavish selection of draft beers, good food. Nice lived-in atmosphere, with bearded patrons around 30, not too many hipsters, and did I say knowledgeable, fun, attentive server? I had a vegetarian Reuben, hard to come by in the rest of the world, that was satisfying and delicious.

    I have to eat here every time I'm in ATL. I've been going several times a year for the past 7 or so years. Huuuuuuge beer list, and incredible food.

    It was our first time going there and it was an overall good experience. We had to order our food online but from inside the place. The food came fast and it was enough for two to feel full for sure. We tried the famous garlic fries and a double smash burger with pork belly (pork chop) on top of the patty and tons of cheese. It was delicious for sure. A nice lady brought it to our table. And we were able to pay our bill online too. The patties were not dry and had a distinct flavor to it but a tasty one. I recommend this place for sure. We didn't order any drinks but for all you beer drinkers out here, the choices are endless for that. They have hundreds of different types of BEER!

    Went for a drink on a Sunday afternoon. Loved the atmosphere, good selection of drinks. There was a basement like room with aged brewery, that can be 'rented' by a bigger group.

    We went for dinner and they delivered! Double smash burger for me. Hubs ordered the fish and chips. It was a double win of savory and satiating sustenance. Lively location It opens up in the back of the bar once you clear the front. Plenty of conversational points of interests displayed (think Cracker Barrel, but a hip established neighborhood pub)

    Pretty expensive but awesome beer list and excellent food (beyond burger is great!). Cool euro beer hall thing going on. Convenient smartphone ordering system. I’ll definitely be back here when I have another $17 for a burger and $9 for an 8oz beer. Lots of character. Highly recommend.

    This place was awesome. All web ordering which is one of the first places I've been to with that. It was cool. The food was surprisingly great and unique. Goat cheese wonders... Beers, well let's just say pages and pages of them. Would make this a stop anytime I'm around here.

    Favorite pre-concert spot for shows at the Variety Playhouse, which is across the street. Broad range of styles of beer, and elevated pub food. Friendly, helpful service. One of the top beer bars in the USA.

    Just wow. Not only you can get rare brews here, but also get those at a price of bud light in Atlanta airport. You can murmur an unheard brewery and see it immediately with the choice of brew year. Kitchen selection is not as rich as for beers, yet super delicious.

    Great beer selection. Good food. Try the Double Smash Burger... or the Fish and Chips. The pull apart pretzel w/ cheese dip is also really good. Scan the QR code on your table to order and pay from your phone...the beers and the food are delivered to your table super quickly. Simple to pay & tip and you're on your way.

    Excellent & expansive beer selection. The food options are much slimmer but that doesn't stop them from being just as impressive as the drinks. That smash burger is kickass with the pastrami pork belly, and the sweet potato waffle fries are pretty killer too. Their online/phone ordering system is kind of a pain to set up, but easy to use afterwards - and who really cares when everything else there rocks? 10/10.

    My friends and I stopped in at The Porter Beer Bar for a drink after a 2-day work conference. This is such a cool space!! The bartender was friendly and answered any question. There’s 20+ beers on tap and a great selection. If I lived in the area, I would definitely keep coming back.

    Stopped in the Porter last night for a beer and appetizer prior to attending a show at the Variety Playhouse. We always love coming here. Really great vibe, great food and an impressive beer list. Katie the bartender was super friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a couple of pints of ice cold Drafty Kilts and an order of their fabulous Belgian Fries. We highly recommend the Porter, even if you're in your 60's like we are!

    So, I go here a lot. Like at least once a week but most of the time more. There is no better place for beer in Georgia. And as a bonus, they regularly update their beers on tap on their website daily. The service is always amazing, very attentive staff, and the food is excellent. Not just excellent for bar food, but truly delicious. Go now!

    Delicious drinks and food in low key atmosphere. Fries nice and crispy, well seasoned; Battered fish perfectly cooked; smash burger pretty tasty; goat cheese fritters are a must order item

  • 3/5 John A. 1 year ago on Google
    Really cool environment, intimate bar with good customer service. Huge beer list. I think the food quality has suffered lately. Ordered the burger and sweet potato fries last night and realized the burger no longer has pastrami or caramelized onions. The patty itself seemed cheaper than I remembered. The sweet potato fries lacked the sprouts that made them taste so unique. Food is still decent though.

  • 5/5 Adam N. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best beer bars in Atlanta. We’ve visited on many occasions and have always had great service. They’ve always got a great tap list. Prices can be steep, but they’ve always got the good stuff.

  • 5/5 Victoria R. 2 years ago on Google
    My boyfriend and I ordered the fish n chips (cod) and the burger. This was by far some of the best food I have ever had! Their fries were the best fries ever! 100% will recommend this place to my family and friends!

  • 5/5 Paul R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, great food (the pastrami reuben and fries were to die for!), and a wide variety of beers to choose from!

  • 5/5 Madeline M. 2 years ago on Google
    We had our first date here, so it is special! Beer list is extensive. Food is also good, but with covid I believe they don't have servers anymore. I just hope it makes it through the pandemic! It's a special place.

  • 5/5 Holly A. 2 years ago on Google
    The Porter has great food, especially their shrimp and grits, and their mussels! They have over a hundred different kinds of beer, and a very impressive bourbon selection, as well… The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, about all the beers and bourbons they stock, if you need a little help narrowing down what you might like. I highly recommend this establishment!

  • 5/5 Matt W. 2 years ago on Google
    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!

    Amazing beer selection. Dope prices. Definitely a must go

  • 5/5 William H. 2 years ago on Google
    My go-to for date night with my girlfriend. Is a quiet setting in the back area and an eclectic dicey feel in the front. You don't have servers, you order at the bar or through a QR code on the table but honestly with covid I don't mind. The service has always been great and the food has never once let me down. The beer menu is extensive and reasonably priced for the area and selection. Food can cost a good penny but for the quality you get it's worth it. I've been coming here for a year now at least once a month and will continue to go here. 10/10

  • 5/5 Kellie D. 2 years ago on Google • 46 reviews
    Super chill bar. This place wasn’t loud or kitschy, just great service and a nice selection of beer. Would recommend to bourbon lovers as well. The menu is small but that’s not a bad thing when the food is scrumptious! Don’t miss out on the pretzel with beer cheese or the sweet potato fries.

😠 DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!! Terrible service! The server cannot remember what you ordered…it cannot be that hard to write it down. Friends waited for (Hennessy) drinks…at the same table for an hour and 15min. It took the bartender 3 tries….It took over an hour to get food even with a reservation. YOU CAN...
