Beer Girl, Growlers & Bottleshop
🍺 587 N Central Ave, Hapeville, GA 30354
With a diverse selection of rare craft beer, cider, wine, and even non-alcoholic options, Beer Girl has everyone covered! Have a drink by the glass or take a freshly poured growler or assortment of bottles to enjoy at home (or your hotel). The best part? This woman-owned business is located right in Arts Alley Open Container District in downtown Hapeville, so you can sip on your drink of choice while taking a stroll and enjoying murals by local artists.
Brake Pad
🍺 3403 Main St, College Park, GA 30337
Located in Historic Downtown College Park, Brake Pad is a renovated retro gas station known for its inviting atmosphere, incredible patio, tasty burgers (including some vegan options), and impressive selection of strong drinks. The friendly staff and cool bartenders have been a constant staple of this under the radar, hip (but not too hip) joint for over 20 years. It's been a go-to spot for loyal locals and a great stop for travelers to get their first tasty pint after landing, or a final refreshing sip before take-off.
Brass Tap Hapeville
🍺 925 Virginia Ave, Hapeville, GA 30354
With a wall of draught pulls and a robust bottle selection, Brass Tap in Hapeville offers 150+ craft beers from around the globe right here in the District. And the people serving your brew can answer just about any beer-related query you throw their way! Daily specials, tasty bar bites, and wall-to-wall widescreen TVs make this the perfect spot to catch up with friends or catch a game over a few rounds of suds.
Chattabrewchee: The Hangar
🍺3361 Dogwood Dr, Hapeville, GA 30354
Chattabrewchee: The Hangar is the second location of Columbus-based Chattabrewchee Southern Brewhouse, fittingly named for its proximity to the airport and the owner's career as a Delta pilot. This aviation-themed brewery in Hapeville serves a rotating selection of craft beers and hard seltzers, ranging from crisp blondes to dessert stouts. The Hangar also regularly hosts community events like musical bingo, trivia nights, and live music, making it a laid-back gathering spot for everyone.
Hapeville Corner Tavern
🍺573 N Central Ave, Hapeville, GA 30354
What goes better with a plate of house-smoked wings than a nice, cold beer? The Hapeville Corner Tavern has an extensive beer menu that might make it difficult to decide on the perfect pairing. Good thing you can play a round of pool, hang out on the patio with friends (fur friends included), or challenge your drinking buddy to a yard game while you sample a few different combos. Will it be a crisp lager with buffalo wings, a refreshing IPA with some lemon pepper flats, or something fruity with Korean BBQ drumsticks? Gather enough friends and you could taste test them all! (Bonus tip: You can pair your brew with their weekend brunch!)
The Manchester Arms Pub
🍺1705 Virginia Ave, Atlanta, GA 30337
Nestled in a College Park neighborhood in a historic house-turned-pub, the Manchester Arms Pub is a local favorite and a place to travelers to relax that truly feels like home. The cozy interior will transport you to England while you enjoy a Smithwick Ale at the bar. Or opt to sip a Guinness al fresco on the breezy patio. Either way, it's a great place to gather with friends to enjoy a cold pint with a hot meal. Their menu is full of UK classics plus traditional American fare.
This is just a small sampling of the many incredible local restaurants the District has to offer. Stop in for a drink and find your new favorite watering hole. (And if you're looking for a pick-me-up, you can skip Starbucks, because we've got plenty of local coffee brews, too.)
