“An impressive craft beer menu, a stellar atmosphere, and servers who know their stuff are all the makings of a great beer bar,” writes CraftBeer.com. “With more than 8,000 small and independent breweries in the United States, great beer bars play an important role in the growth of local breweries.”
Brick Store Pub in Decatur is Georgia's best beer bar, according to the list. The beer bar opened in 1997 and has served as a stalwart in the community ever since.
“What you find at our main bar are local, regional and nationally acclaimed American craft beers, German and English specialty beers and our vintage and reserve bottled beer list,” according to the pub’s website. “We frequently rotate a carefully chosen array of 31 draught beers, including two cask lines and offer a variety of bottles and cans.”
