ATLANTA is a fantastic city that gets a bad rep for its notorious traffic, but don't let that deter you, it’s a cool place!

ATL Tips:

Okay for real though the traffic in Atlanta is ferocious, do not drive any time near rush hour or you will regret it! For hours and hours and hours.
Be mindful of where you are staying because Atlanta is MASSIVE. If you know you’re going to spend most of your time in Midtown, for example, don’t book someplace to stay on the opposite side of town because you will spend a ton of time/money driving or Ubering.

Adventures & Ales Top Atlanta Recommendations:

Monday Night Brewing: SO great. One of my favorite breweries in the world. The staff is fantastic, the beers are delicious, and the environment is ideal. Bring your dogs, hang out on the patio, and drink up!
- Monday Night Garage: Located in the Lee + White West End establishment, this is MNB’s second location in ATL. They’ve got a nice outdoor deck and plenty of space inside as well, with an art pop-up and BBQ food truck.
- Wild Heaven Beer is in this establishment too! They’ve got a nice outdoor space, tasty beers, and delicious food from Comida Fina.
Halfway Crooks: An incredible Lager focused brewery with an open air rooftop and small food menu.
Contrast Artisan Ales: A cute little brewery with solid beers and usually a plethora of dogs to pet.
3 Taverns: Another great brewery with two locations: The Parlour is the OG brewery and production space and located in Decatur. The Imaginarium is located in the Atlanta Dairies complex right off the BeltLine.
The Vortex: Mouthwatering goodness. Two locations, go to the one in Little Five Points, it's the original. Nachos, burgers, fries with marshmallow sauce... it goes on and on.
Center for Civil and Human Rights: One of the best museums I've ever been to. Explore the Civil Rights Movement and human rights movements around the world. Interactive and engaging throughout.
Piedmont Park: The classic ATL park, it is gorgeous. Sometimes there are festivals, and there’s always lots of dogs to hang out with.
- A good option is to walk the BeltLine to get here!
Orpheus Brewing: Set behind Piedmont Park, they have a ton of really great beers!
Little Five Points Neighborhood: full of bars, theaters, and shops, definitely the trendiest neighborhood in the city.
The Porter Beer Bar: In the center of Little Five Points, they have a vast selection of beers.

Atlanta Tourist Spots Actually Worth Visiting:

The Battery: Home to Truist Park where The Braves play, a plethora of bars and restaurants, shopping, and more! Our favorite spot was Terrapin Taproom which also serves Fox Bros BBQ.
Centennial Olympic Park: A park, where the Olympics were held. Oh sorry was that obvious from the name? It's actually super pretty with the Ferris wheel and the fountains, a great spot for a picnic or to wander about when it's busy on a Sunday.
The Varsity: A famous drive-in perfect for late night eats. Noms.
SweetWater Brewing: A fun spot to hang out. Live music, lots of beers only at the taproom and not distributed

- Nine Mile Station is the rooftop bar that is worth checking out!
- If you decide not to eat here, 8arm is right across the street and has delicious food!
Float down the Chattahoochee River: slightly outside of town but well worth the trip! This is exactly what you're picturing when you hear "float down the river"--beer, tube islands, and a very fun time
- We went with Shoot The Hootch and I would recommend it!
Antico Pizza: extremely good pizza and it's huge!
