The Porter is Atlanta's beloved brew house, situated in the heart of the Little Five Points neighborhood. 400 unique and hard-to-find beers, plus 30 on tap offerings provide plenty of reasons to schedule a visit. Don't bother calling ahead, though; reservations are not accepted. The Porter draws an eclectic crowd, from ale-loving attorneys to craft-critical bohemians. The mass of people crowding the bar and dripping into the street give this pub a friendly, party-like buzz. Be sure to sample the eats. For a savory snack try the pretzel, and for your sweet tooth, bite into the chocolate brownie with beer ice cream, butterscotch and malt crunch.

- Bars: "The Porter does not take reservations, so expect to wait. Pass the time with a drink from the bar, which you can sip outside for excellent people-watching. With over 430 beer options, you'll need the extra time to select your second drink, anyway."
- Best for Bars Because: 430 beer selections, plus cocktail, wine and liquor options keep locals returning. The food surpasses pub fare, with beer pairing suggestions for every menu item.
