The food at Wrecking Bar has been unbeatable since executive chef Terry Koval came over from Farm Burger . Try the kale ale fondue or the three pigs skillet with its crispy pig ears to start. Read more

Creative Loafing Atlanta

From the sides menu, try the mac & cheese made with sharp cheddar , Gouda , pimento , and spiral pasta ; the chili-garlic bok choy ; or the butternut squash and Brussels sprouts hash , sautéed in shallots . Read more

Creative Loafing Atlanta

Chef Terry Koval created an unlikely oasis for vegetarian diners with dishes such as the seasonal barley risotto . Order that with a perfect beer pairing and cross it off your list of CL's 100 dishes. Read more

My favorite night is Firkin Friday, where they tap one of their cask brews. I always start with the pretzel & kale ale fondue . You MUST try the pastrami sandwich w/ butternut & brussel sprout hash .

Brad Hager

Really cool place to go with friends, family or date. GREAT craft beers , loved the barley wine . Be sure to check out The Cellar, the walls are make of rock from Stone Mountain , good for a small group.

Virginie Liao

Choco mountain imperial breakfast stout is highly recommended here, chocolatey complex and smooth. Go for the larger size, not 4oz. Try to drink most of it before eating.

Creative Loafing Atlanta

The Butternut and Brussels sprout hash — one of CL's 100 Best Dishes — has the perfect blend of bitter, charred outer leaves, and tender, earthy hearts alongside sweet butternut squash cubes. Read more

Todd White

They only have their own beer but they brew a huge selection and some are just absolutely amazing. Great cocktails too. Fun place to hang out.

Go for the choice selection of beer and experience the added bonus of the beautiful Victorian-style architecture of the location. Come hungry, as the menu is nothing short of delicious.

Polly Nance

One of my favorite places to eat dinner ! Good food and good brews. Mmmmmm. They change up the menu but the chicken is by far my favorite (and I've tried lots of variations ) :) Victor IPA !

Daniel Valdes

This place is excellent!! The charred octopus is a must try! Not tough and chewy but tender and served over potatoes with spicy oils . Fantastic!!

Daniel Valdes

The Cod fish sandwich with Bok Choy spicy side is a definite must try! The beer and the food both are excellent here!

First We Feast

All beers except for the high-gravity suds are served in two sizes to help you explore the beer menu , which encompasses 12 taps and cask versions Read more

Wrecking Bar isn’t a bar . Well , it is, but it was a lot of other things too: A 20th-century Victorian-style home. A Methodist Protestant church . A dance school . And now a brewery . Read more

Heartofachef

Beers are amazing. Staff also awesome. Definitely try the cheese plate , if you get a burger order it one temp down from what you want (medium rare if you want medium). Great apps!

Currently Atlanta's premiere brewpub , they offer a great and ever-changing selection. Their food is delicious, and service is great.

Will Stewart

All of their beers are good and the food is reasonable priced for the quality. Also check their long list of awesome bourbons

Alejandro Azcona

Beef heart tartare is amazing. They make their own beer and you can tell it is a work of passion, it's awesome

Frank Keith

Great burgers ! Fries appetizer is a meal itself. Bok Choy and turnips excellent sides. Oh, and the craft beer ain't bad :)

Alejandro Azcona

Needless to say if you like craft beer this is your place. Food fare is excellent, specially the beef heart tartare .

The pretzel is omnom delicious! The goat cheese flat bread is also a great option for an entree substitute if you want to save room for dessert .

Harit

I didn't notice it at the first glance, looks like a church or govt building from the outside. The entrance is in the back and is amazing!

James White

Brewmaster Bob will talk shop with you and make sure you try every beer in the house (even if it's on him)!

ed peterson

Great stop for brunch . Great food without a massive line .

Brittani S

Great beer ! The venison on special was incredible! A must if you like local beer and food!

AJC

Best overall fries , served with several dipping sauces and a great beer . Read more

Brian C.

Have always loved the food here bit tonight...many negatives. Waited way to long to be seated and they had open tables. Then the porkchop dish was a huge disappointment. Pull it back together!

Dr Banana

This is probably blasphemy considering it's a brewpub ... But they make amazing White Russians :) they infuse their Tito's with vanilla !

Chris Revelle

One of my favorites in Atlanta. You can't go wrong with anything here.

Antonio Sanchez

The fried rabbit wing appetizer is delicious! It's delicious snack for two people that isn't filling.

Alvin Laws

Great revolving menu of food and beer . Best pub in the ATL.

Kim Fermoyle

Yummy beers , locally-sourced ingredients, and plenty of vegetarian options . Definitely worth the visit!

Nick Morrison

Lot of good beer on tap . Get the Wreck Fries and try something new.

The bar tender here won US Bartending Mixologist and will be going to Prague and then London! Kudos to him!!!

Phil Katz

Fantastic food- inventive, perfectly executed. And great beer to boot!

David Felfoldi

Try the sssshandy – a wonderfully refreshing cocktail of rum , ginger , lemon , and Breaking Bob Kölsch beer .

Maxwell Spread

Good beer selection ! Food and ambiance were great as well .

Nicole Kasten

Good food. Unique pub only beers . Busy all of the time, go early.

Paul Oeland

Really good beer . Flat bread with goat cheese and mushrooms is excellent. The review in Creative Loafing did not do this place justice.

Drew Knarr

The beer flight was greatly appreciated. 6 different brews,all delicious!

Alex Ravenel

Fries and beer are excellent. Gets super crowded on weekends.

Stacey Matti

Everything I've had so far has been excellent. Get the wrecking bar for dessert .
