The Beer Barrel
Marietta, Georgia
It doesn't sound all that fancy, and trust us, it's not — but that's entirely the point. The Beer Barrel is a fantastic hole-in-the-wall on the northern outskirts of Atlanta, and has been serving up cold ones since 1957. Inside the ridiculously small space you'll find a rectangular bar with space for roughly 15 or so patrons, a few stools on the side wall, and that's about it. So what does the place have going for it? Apart from the friendly barkeeps and regulars, it has cheap drinks, cold beer, and Georgia Lottery Keno — or more than enough to keep us amused for several hours.
