The Porter Beer Bar

Description

The Porter Beer Bar is the hottest new entry in the Atlanta gastro-pub scene, with a kitchen headed by Nick Rutherford (formerly of Seeger's, Quinones at Bacchanalia, and the Chocolate Bar), one of Atlanta's "most talented chefs," according to Creative Loafing. Located in the heart of Little Five Points, this cozy restaurant with its hand-crafted wooden booths and exposed brick wall is the perfect place for a casual dinner of gourmet pub grub and a few glasses of one of the 200 beers on offer. The restaurant is all-ages and non-smoking until 10 PM, so feel free to bring the kids who will love the salt-and-vinegar popcorn, the cheeseburger, the fish and chips, and the gourmet root beer. The Porter also has a "Hair of the Dog" brunch on weekends with peach-covered waffles, biscuits and sausage gravy, and a smoked salmon scramble.
