If you’re not a huge fan of beer or just don’t feel like drinking alcohol, beer gardens usually offer a selection of other beverages. For starters, you can try a Radler, which is half beer and half lemon soda. Some beer gardens that are attached to restaurants sell wine. And if you wish to lay off the booze, all beer gardens should also have a selection of non-alcoholic drinks, such as Coke, juice or lemonade.
Absolutely! Most beer gardens will pair up their delicious beer with some great food. Classic snacks include giant pretzels that go especially well with obatzda (a creamy cheese spread), bratwursts (German sausages) and sauerkraut. Depending on the venue, you can also expect a selection of meats and cheeses, as well as things such as smoked salmon, calamari, salads, potato pancakes and more. Beer gardens that do it really well will have brewmasters who will happily advise you on which beer goes with what food.
There are more than 40 breweries and brewpubs within the Atlanta metropolitan area, plus many restaurants also have their own beer gardens. So, you can imagine that the options are quite numerous.

Little Five Points, described as the hippest of Atnalta’s hip neighborhoods, is also a good place to look.
