Beer hounds geek out on Atlanta's best beer selec-
tion at this pub in Decatur, with some 17 meticulously chosen draughts, and a separate,

, this
sprawling, well populated, underground pub not only has over a dozen craftsman beers
on tap, and dozens more from Germany, Belgium, Sri Lanka and other exotic ports, it has
games! Bocce ball, shuffleboard, billiards, ski ball and board games like Connect Four
are yours to play until the wee smalls.
Rumor has it, this joint was originally a prohibition-era burlesque haunt with S&M
proclivities.
Graveyard Tavern
BAR
(
www.graveyardtavern.com
;
1245 Glenwood Ave SE; 5pm-2am Mon-Sat, 7pm-midnight Sun)
Here the rafters are exposed along with the building's age, not out of high design im-
pulse, but because this dive in East Atlanta is deliciously decrepit. The octagonal wood
bar and vinyl booths host all kinds: hipsters, queers, hip-hoppers, gangsters and retirees.
Park Tavern
BAR
(
www.parktavern.com
;
500 10th Street NE; 4:30pm-midnight Mon-Fri, from 11:30am Sat & Sun)
This microbrewery-restaurant may not be all that hip, but its outdoor patio on the edge of
Piedmont Park is one of the most beautiful spots in Atlanta to sit back and drink away a
weekend afternoon. It pours $1 drafts on rainy days.
Blake's
GAY & LESBIAN
(

;
227 10th St NE)
On Piedmont Park, Blake's bills itself as
'Atlanta's favorite gay bar since 1987.'
