New Realm Brewing Co

Top choice in Atlanta


Traditionally Atlanta has lagged behind more brew-friendly Southern cities like Asheville, Nashville or Memphis due to legislation that prevented on-site beer sales at breweries. With that law in the rearview mirror as of 2017, Atlanta is becoming the South's next best beer city, led by one of the most iconic names in American brewing, Mitch Steele, at New Realm Brewing Co.

This 20,000-sq-ft restaurant and brewery along the BeltLine’s Eastside Trail is a coup for Southern hopheads. IPAs and small-batch brews are guzzled by a fun crowd ogling the Atlanta skyline from the upstairs terrace. But the fun doesn't end there: with dishes inspired by both the local diverse food scene and the brewmaster's craft beers, you could be tucking in to kale Caesar salads and crab soup, or heartier mains such as buffalo chicken pizza and wagyu burger. You could easily spend all day here.
