Glover Park is an absolute MUST if you find yourself anywhere near Marietta Square...and honestly, even if you don't, you should still go out of your way to visit!
Glover Park has been doing their thing on Marietta Square for a few years now and as time passes, they keep getting better and better! We fell in love with GP on our first visit a few years ago and make sure to visit as much as possible. We have celebrated promotions, new houses, new cars, birthday's and life in general here as it the absolute perfect place to do so!
GP is a beautiful brick building that has two levels and a large outside patio. The upstairs where the main entrance is features a small bar and a few tables to hang out at. Also, behind the closed doors is their private event space where they host an array of celebrations. I have peeked at the room when it is fully set up for a wedding and it is stunning! The upstairs is definitely the calmer space, so if you really want to get in the middle of things and feel the true vibe of Glover Park you have to head downstairs to the tap room and patio!
The tap room is where all the magic happens at GP! The actual brewing equipment and tanks sits at the base of the stairs across from the bar and next to the stage. Speaking of stage, they do have live music and other performers on occasion. The space and stage is perfect for a small acoustic based band, and we have been lucky enough to catch several talented folks here! That bar I mentioned is a large L-shaped bar that is perfectly laid out with clearly marked line markers and even a few barstools if bellying up to the bar is your thing. To the right of the bar you will find a few comfy and plush chairs and sofas...this is a coveted space, so if you are lucky enough to claim it, good for you! The rest of the tap room is made up of high-tops and standing rails along with a shuffle board table, sets of Jenga, a cabinet of board games and a water station.
The outside patio area is absolute perfection! They really planned this space well, especially during those sunny and hot days here in Georgia! The sun sets on the opposite side of the patio, so the building blocks it out starting early afternoon...so you get the enjoyment of the sun, but the luxury of shade! The outdoor space has a mix of high-top and regular tables plus a couple stone communal tables that have fire pits attached to them (for the winter of course!), an outside limited service bar and the famed food trucks!
Food trucks are always there on the weekends, but according to their schedule online, they are starting to have them there during the week as well. Per the calendar, they have a lot of special nights and events from charity nights to trivia and even movie nights combined with sip & paint! On the days/nights they do not have a food truck, they host BYOF (Bring Your Own Food).
Now, down to the drinks...which is what this place is technically known for! They offer four main varieties of drinks - Core, Seasonal, Seltzers and Draft Cocktails. Core beers, Seltzers and the cocktails remain on tap year round, but the Seasonal varieties are switched up with each season, as you would have imagined! If I am in a beer mood you will find a Can I Get A Witness, which is a Belgian Wit, in my hand. Outside of that, I can also be found indulging in the Let That Man-go Seltzer, which is a mango based and flavored seltzer. It is absolutely refreshing and tasty! My partner is a cocktail guy and loves the Park Mule, which is your basic Mule. Friends swear by the Sunshine & Whiskey. So, moral of this story is they have a solid selection of drinks and they are all pretty tasty!
Parking is easy on Marietta Square and that carries over to Glover Park too. They do have a lot in the rear of the building, but additionally there are several public lots less than a block away that make parking super easy!
Simply put...we love Glover Park! read more
