This place is great!  Many craft beer options, located right in Ponce City Market.  The staff behind the bar were very knowledgeable and friendly, helping us to lock down our choices.

Beer and wine from The Tap On Ponce
Bruce K.

The Tap is technically a bottle shop and therefore, they are not allowed to provide samples and you are not allowed to drink the beer on site. But they're just a small shop in the much larger Ponce City Market so once you've made your selection and it is appropriately packaged to go, you can sit at any of the tables or benches in the market and consume! I got a tin of their kolsch and my friend got a unique white wine that she's not seen before. Her wine came in a "sippy cup" sort of container that looked like a juice box. And technically, it was a juice box! Lots of choices and the prices seemed fair! [Review 18920 overall - 558 in Georgia - 2443 of 2022.]

Love the tap! They have a menu that's always changing based on what's in season which I love. People are also super nice, and I like to ask them what's good + let them know what I'm feeling and they'll give great recommendations. The place isn't sit-down, but obviously there's lots of places to hang out at Ponce City Market.

This is not one of those pretentious craft beer joints- really friendly staff that answer all of your questions graciously. ... also... REALLY good beer If you see my feed, you see my beers. This place nails it. I had the 8oz bottle of Pilsner from the menu board. Very simple order process spelled out for you... you pick the container you want, pick the beer, and check out. I picked the plastic bottle and took a to-go plastic cup to sit and drink in the common area of PCM. The beer was crisp, full bodied and very reasonably priced. Wish I lived in walking distance, this is such a good spot to swing by for an afterwork beer. 5 stars for beer taste, price for the size of beer, covid cleanliness, and all staff being helpful & friendly

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. There was a great selection of beers and ciders and the staff were incredibly friendly. I'm a huge fan of sours and will definitely be back to try more! Highly recommend if you're looking to grab a drink with a friend and catch up with a chill vibe.

The Tap on Ponce has a variety of beers and a small and okay wine list. My husband and I had two wines here -- a pinot noir and a Rioja -- that were served to us in 8 oz plastic bottles. Despite the hipster setting of Ponce City Market, I would have preferred not drinking wine out of a plastic bottle. I would suggest Tap on Ponce getting some wine glasses, or plastic cups. Happy Hour specials would be nice too.

First time here! One of the biggest beer shops I've ever been to. You stand in line, pick the beer you want to drink. The staff was very nice. The Tap is located inside Ponce City Market.

A large variety of beers and wine on tap. You have many different sizes you can have your alcohol in (8oz to 64oz) I was impressed with the good selection of imports, especially the Belgian wheats. I also found a drink my son wanted called Bang (energy drink).I guess it's a rare drink that isn't offered in Buffalo, NY. This place is well worth the visit for the beers and wine.

Beer to go? Yes please. Didn't expect to see craft beers in the South. They're a staple in the West Coast. I was pleasantly surprised with the variety of beers on tap. I wish there were more local beers available. They do have quite a bit of IPA so if you're not in the mood your selection might be less. I had the Mexican Empire Lager. It was crisp and refreshing. Clever how it was poured into a can for that hipster feel. Not sure if there was a tasting option but would've loved to create my own flight of local brews.

Beer in the refrigerator case.
Jordan M.

Wonderful beer selection! Lots of options for beer and wine on tap which is great! I noticed a lot of the beers were local Georgia beers. Not sure if the wines were local though but I thought it was cool that you can get wine on tap as well so almost everyone in your group can leave with something they're looking forward to enjoying. They also have a pretty decent canned beer selection in the refrigerated cases. I noticed the prices for the canned beer of the same style and quantity was about half of the on-tap beers. So if you just want a regular beer with your meal, this actually is a good option at half the price than the on tap beer price. Beer nerd alert! I actually bought a beer from the refrigerated case that was such a good deal I couldn't pass it up. It was a spring seasonal Sierra Nevada Hop Bullet Double IPA stove pipe which is a 19.2oz can at 8% ABV for only $3.99 as compared to the $4.99 and up for the 16oz option of the on tap beers. This particular beer has a ("ballistic burst of aggressive hop character") Sierra Nevada created specifically for this beer using a "double-barreled slug of Magnum hops and lupulin dust" that is added right into the fermenter. End beer nerd alert! You can drink your alcoholic beverages anywhere inside of Ponce City market, which is actually a great option.

A tasty  lager
Jeremy B.

Always my favorite spot for grabbing a lager while looking for my next meal in the Ponce Market. They have a variety of beers on tap. They also carry a variety of local beers in the can or bottle. You can also get some large size growlers to take your beer home. This is a great spot to hangout at & enjoy some good brews. The staff is usually friendly & very knowledgeable.

Just a warning, the space inside is pretty small--typically there's optional seating outside, but it's really chilly at the moment (although they have heaters)--but there's more seating downstairs in The Victorian Atlanta plant shop. I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!

There was a sign right at the door that says something like, just walk right in. I would say this place is a fast casual restaurant. Not a lot of diners when we came on Friday night but had tons of take out orders. As we were seated, water and menu were dropped off at our table. I didn't get a chance to look at the full menu but felt rushed to order. Luckily, I had already looked at the menu before arriving. I ordered the spritz with a fruity twist (forgot what it was called but if you like aperol spritz, then this is for you) and my husband, a Paloma. We ordered a trio dip with charred baba ganoush, feta, and cauliflower that was served with some fresh pita bread. This was a great start to our meal and wanted more. I ordered the eggplant bowl with both lettuce and rice. Yall, the fries that were served must have been fried twice because it was crispy and saucy. Would definitely get this again, plus it was super filling. My husband ordered the falafel bowl with lettuce, and he did enjoy this as well. My only gripe is that the "bowl" is more of a platter? Food was certainly delicious and drinks were good. I like going to a restaurant that anticipates your needs, but this didn't do it for me. Our water was empty for awhile and we didn't get offered any until we were heading out. But nevertheless, this is a great spot for yummy food on the beltline.

Yum YUMMYY! I really…read moredon't know where to start but I absolutely love Buena Vida! I guess thats a great place :) location, Location, LOCATION! I admire that area of Buena Vida. All the entertainment is right there in front of you. You're just steps away from the belt line. If you like to people watch, this is for you! They have outdoor seating. A fire pit. Local spots that has live music and you can tend to hear from the patio. This is by far one of my favorite spots in the Ponce area. Let's start with the service. The service is absolutely amazing. I've never had an issue here. Got my food promptly. Always been helpful when conflicted on food options. The service here is 10 out of 10. Phemonenal customer Service, make you feel welcome. Feels like a small community of people, everyone I encoutered were super sweet from servers to bartenders. Treated me like family and I love establishments like that you can get my money ANY day! I'd like to highlight someone special: Alyssa is truly exceptional. She served as my bartender on my latest visit, and I can't say enough good things about her. I look forward to coming in whenever she's working. She's genuine, fun, and her positive energy is a gem. Turning to the cuisine, I have visited the establishment before, and the food is truly exceptional. Two standout appetizers are the Gambas al Ajillo and the garlic-forward, succulent shrimp; the accompanying bread is full of flavor and serves as an excellent introduction to the meal. The Patatas Bravas also deserve special mention--the garlic aioli, chef kiss. As a pescatarian, which is evident in many of my reviews, I cannot comment on the meat options. Nevertheless, there is a noteworthy selection of vegan and gluten-free dishes available. I sampled the Spanish grilled cheese with truffle and garlic aioli--being a fan of garlic, the generous use here was particularly appealing. This reinterpretation of a childhood favorite significantly elevated the dish. Another highlight was the scallops. Although the dish included corn (which I generally avoid), I found it delicious, nonetheless. The scallops were cooked to perfection and infused with rich flavors. The chef demonstrates considerable expertise in crafting these recipes, and I have no complaints regarding my dining experience. Now, a few of my favorite drinks--though everyone might not share the same tastes. When I visit a Spanish-style restaurant, I have my go-to options. One of my favorites is the passionfruit margarita; it's so delicious, it feels like you're on an island. Of course, my all-time favorite is the strawberry margarita--so good and flavorful. It has just the right balance of not too much lime, with a subtle hint of mint--who knew we needed that? Another top pick is the 'Dragon on Vacation.' I usually avoid spicy drinks, so I had the habanero removed, but it's still the perfect blend of dragon fruit flavor in a margarita--so good. I also love a good Paloma; I appreciate its little kick. Overall, I have no complaints about these drinks!

It's always a good time when we meet up with my friends cause the conversation and fellowship is always so sweet, however this time I'd say it was somewhat interrupted. The live music/saxophonist is nice however, it's overbearing. There's a soundtrack playing in the background in addition to the saxophonist and honestly it's just too much. There was always someone yelling over another and we had to continuously ask someone to repeat themselves. They do half off bottles of wine on Wednesdays and that might've been the one thing I enjoyed. As for the food, it was also subpar. I ordered the CRISPY PIMENTON CHICKEN which was essentially a fried chicken with hot honey sauce and that was enjoyable. The caprese salad was good but my tomato's were a bit mushy. I also enjoyed a few of the potatoes brava as well but they weren't anything spectacular. My friends said the steak tasted burnt and needed less charring. The atmosphere of the restaurant is cute as there is indoor and outdoor seating but honestly, I'm not that eager to go back.
