An effortlessly cool bistro on the downtown outskirts, favored for its daily changing, eclectic menu that jumps from roasted monkfish to roasted chicken on jeweled Carolina Gold rice with dried apricot, pistachio, currants, schug hot sauce, yogurt, cucumber, marinated onion and cilantro (got it?). Outstanding vegetarian choices too. Spanish and Middle Eastern accents abound.

You might hear whispers of a beer so good that they don’t dare let it out of Georgia. Über-popular Creature Comforts Brewing Co. in the old Snow Tire Company building is the fount. The beer in question is Tropicália, a citrusy little number with hoppy notes and apparently a certain cachet. Due to production constraints, it garnered a cult following—borderline mania—when it was first released in 2014. A few years later, the frenzy reached all the way to Atlanta and the production crew of box office monster Avengers: Endgame—then to Thor himself. A fun night out with friends- and a Farmers Market every Wednesday night- this place is our favorite spot to grab a beer!
