    Best fries ever!
    Sherman K.

    Stopped in to kill some time before an appointment; so glad I did as I found a nice gem. To be fair, I didn't have dinner, but just sat at the bar for a beer and some fries. Inside is very cozy, with a bit of a nautical feel. The beer selection was great, and I settled on an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Porter, which was wonderful. It wasn't overly sweet, which is what I liked about it. The fries, oh, the fries! They were about the best fries I've ever had! I can't wait to return to Atlanta so I can spend more time here.

    Been a while since I've been here. We arrived for lunch shortly after they opened. Server was certainly not very enthusiastic or friendly throughout. Started with a flight, which consists of six 4 oz pours for $15 - and unfortunately, you cannot pick the beers that you want in your pricey flight. Lunch menu was very limited. Sandwich offering was only three choices. I went with the burger ($19) and it was excellent as were the fries. Props for cooking to order and the delicious homemade pickles. Parking can pose some difficulty: it is a small lot and you must get to it from the back in an alleyway-type approach. Pros: food quality & atmosphere Cons: service, price, limited food options

    Excellent beers, I had 4 short beers which all super tasty and the vibe was really friendly. The food was fantastic. I highly recommend it!

    Pork schnitzel

    Such a hidden gem!! I've been to Little 5 so many times but always driven past this. I came here for a weeknight dinner with a friend. The parking lot is small but we found a spot and were seated almost immediately. I really loved the cozy vibes inside the basement of this Victorian-style house and the menu too felt very farm to table. I also loved the choice of local beers. We got the Wreckinator Dopplebock and a SAVAGE! Brown Porter. Our server was super knowledgeable and gave great recommendations and even let us taste to figure out what we wanted. For food, we had the octopus appetizer, pork schnitzel, a side of mac n cheese, and pork belly. The octopus was so tender and buttery and I liked the bok choy it came on top of. The pork schnitzel was cooked so thinly and crispy and was so yummy. The mac n cheese was so rich and I loved the variety of cheese used in it. The star of the night had to be the pork belly. It was so delicious and the celeriac puree it came on top of was HEAVENLY. I was literally scraping this off the plate. To round out the meal, we had an apple fritter with ice cream which came highly recommended by our server and did not disappoint. Overall, really cool space and I can't wait to come back!!!

    Met friends for dinner at this place. From the outside it looks like a building about to be renovated, but then you go inside and it looks like an old school tavern in someone's basement. I only had soft pretzels as I had already eaten, but companions had beef and grain bowls they enjoyed. Service was excellent and also had a cool dessert menu. Would definitely go there again, but will eat the next time.

    Located in the basement of an old mansion, the Wrecking Bar is an intimate restaurant, bar and brewpub. The ambiance is definitely English pub in nature and many of the beers fit this style. The food also has that feel with cheese and charcuterie board options, The menu also feels very farm to table in nature. Sat down at the bar and ordered a flight and had a great talk with the bartenders on that night. Very friendly staff and knowledgeable about their product. That should go without saying, but you would be surprised how many don't. Unfortunately, I can't rate the food here, as I had already eaten about an hour earlier. But the pork belly, duck pot pie, and trout all sounded wonderful. The person down the bar from me had the Apple Butter grilled cheese and was raving about how wonderful (and unique) it was. As my meal earlier was more basic and marginal, I wish I had read the menu here first. On a subsequent trip, I have to stop again and try some of the food.

    Food: My friend and I decided to check out Wrecking Bar on a Friday night. We both wanted sandwiches so we ordered the crispy cod sandwich and the apple butter grilled cheese so we could both try both sandwiches. For the sides we ordered fries. Both sandwiches were really good. Especially the grilled cheese it was so flavorful. My friend didn't like the aged cheddar at first bite, but she thought it paired well with the bacon and the apple butter which is made in house. Service: Our server Kyle was very friendly and gave great recommendations when we had questions about the menu. He constantly checked on us & even personally made honey mustard for my friend when she requested some to go with her fries.

    We had a great meal at Wrecking Bar Brewpub and so much fun with our server Schuyler! We shared an outdoor table and I didn't even go inside to see what it looked like. The patio is tucked into the side of the restaurant in a way that makes you feel like you're sitting on someone's porch- the neighborhood is residential which adds to that feeling. They have interesting beers- my husband enjoyed a whit beer and a "black" beer. I had the gin and tonic. The have a fabulous wine list. The cauliflower is plated weird but was delicious. The mussels were good and the trout was amazing. We also had a gooey chocolate dissertations which paired great with the Tempranillo. We were there for a preconcert dinner. Afterwards we walked to Variety Playhouse (and we had parked at the paid lot behind the theater. It was a perfect evening!!

    Wrecking Bar continues to be one of our go to restaurants. The staff is always friendly, the beers and cocktails are delicious, and the food doesn't disappoint. We usually grab a spot at the bar for a drink and some food, but most recently on a cool September evening, we opted for the patio to enjoy a slight feeling of fall. I ordered my go to cocktail, The El Camino al Sol and my partner ordered the new cold pale ale which came out a few days earlier. For food, we went "really healthy" and split the pimento cheese and cheese burger with fries. It was delicious and way better than a salad.

    Pastrami with a side of fries

    I craved pastrami being a New Yorker. This place did not disappoint!! I enjoyed a good Mexican beer and fries along with it. Service was knowledgeable and patient. I enjoyed eating inside though they do have a patio. Enjoyed the decor and feel!

    Great beer. Got the flight and liked all of them (beta todd was the best). Awesome burger, bar nuts, and service. It's alittle dark inside so I recommend going on a nice day and sitting outside, it was perfect.

    If you're looking for a pup-friendly patio in Little Five Points, you should definitely check out Wrecking Bar Brewpub! It's a really cool basement gastropub in an old Victorian mansion. They have a covered patio for you and your pup to enjoy that offers full table service. Wrecking Bar brews their own beer, carries other craft beer/ciders/cocktails, and offers a great menu of locally sourced food. They have a long list of liquors that they carry. The staff who helped us were super nice. We've been once before and sat at the bar and had a great experience too. We haven't eaten food there but we want to. It's so great that they offer locally sourced food. Everyone around us was eating and seemed to be enjoying their food! We will definitely be back here!

    What is the parking like?

    It's not bad MOST of the time. They have a private lot with maybe 20-25 spaces, but there is also street parking less than a block's walk. If it is a special event, it can be tricky. I'll probably be there tonight hoping for Mexican Siberious… Read more

    Resv ? Accepted?

    According to Resy and OpenTable, they do not take reservations. Sorry.

    Do they have high chairs/could you bring a baby on a Friday late afternoon?

    I believe they do. It's a full restaurant and bar. I've only been once though. Sat at a high top table in the bar area. Great spot all around.

As for the food, I've really only ever tried their smokehouse burger, Asian-style loaded fries, and chocolate chip cookie skillet. The burger is super juicy and perfectly cooked, while the sauces and crispy bacon married it together. I've tried the Asian-style loaded fries (pictured below) twice now, and I honestly don't recommend it unless you like your char siu pork to be drenched in salt. It was nearly inedible both times. As for the chocolate chip cookie skillet, it was delicious, I practically inhaled the whole thing! The thing that honestly keeps me coming back is just the overall vibe of the place! It's always lively since it's right on the Beltline, very staff member I've encountered is so chill and great, and it's just such a fun spot to just chill out with your friends!

So I hit the x on the screen to close out of the other customers transaction, and the bartender rushed over and started berating me with "what are you doing you don't touch that" and even had the audacity to ask "you didn't put anything in did you?!??" At which point we explained and placed our order with drinks took the flag with the table number to go sit down After which, the bartender came to our table and was somehow even more of an asshole, and told us that "you're supposed to wait for these diet cokes I can't bring them to you" We were both quite angry. This person is awful. I don't know why anyone would behave this way with customers. It's not acceptable and reflects quite poorly on the establishment that this person works there. We wish everyone the best but will not be returning in the future. I don't recommend anyone eat here.

This is a Belgian-inspired brewery, restaurant, bookstore, and beer garden all under one roof. Bold Monk is located in the Upper Westside of Atlanta, near Chattahoochee Food Works and Topgolf Atlanta Midtown. There's plenty of free parking around the building and on the street (Ellsworth Industrial Blvd NW). I like the space here because there are various spaces inside and "outside" to spread out and hang out. I put "outside" in quotes because their patio is fully covered and enclosed -- good for bad weather. I had the Presence Pilsner (lager, 4.8%, 16 oz, $7). It was cold, crisp, and refreshing. I recommend it. The menu describes it as offering a "soft bready malt, delicate herbal and floral hop notes, and clean, dry finish." For dinner, I had the Salmon Dip ($16) to start and the Steak + Frites (market price) as my main. The Salmon Dip is made with house-cured salmon and tarragon aioli, and comes with thin toast triangles. The Steak + Frites is "chef's cut" (not sure which, didn't ask) and comes with Bearnaise, arugula, and Belgian frites (fries). The Bearnaise went great with both the steak and the fries. Bold Monk is known for their Belgian Frites, "The Original French Fry," which comes with a variety of sauces and in a few different styles. They also offer a variety of mussels and pizza. My buddy had one of the pizzas, "the 1838," I believe, which comes with different mushrooms, mozzarella, and house-made truffle ricotta. He seemed to enjoy it. The pizzas - the 1836, the 1899, the 1838, the 1850, and the 1862 - are all named after years that monasteries opened in Europe. I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out just right. The quality of the cut was average/about what you'd expect for budget-friendly steak frites (it's no Bar Blanc in terms of cut quality). But still, that and the Salmon Dip were tasty and satisfying enough. Good service from both our server and the host/manager, who made sure my friend did not leave his jacket behind. Bold Monk opened in December 2019.

As a self-proclaimed lightweight, I appreciated that it was enjoyable without being too overwhelming.
