Road trip fuel or recovery aid, every Waffle House but the outpost in Turner Field is open 24 hours a day to satisfy that craving for hashbrowns, cheese n’ eggs, or waffles."

"There’s not much more one can say about the classic, Atlanta-based breakfast chain. Atlantan’s know where to head for 24/7 smothered, covered, and scattered hash browns, waffles, and coffee with some serious people-watching, especially into the wee hours of the morning."

"They’ve only been open since March, which was exactly around the time people probably started needing a little more beer (if only we knew), but Fire Maker has become quite the westside star, which wasn’t an easy feat considering its proximity to several impressive breweries on this list. Having taken over a huge warehouse building on Chattahoochee, they already have some bold standouts like Space Dragon: Mission 1, a very drinkable imperial IPA, and the double dry-hopped Chattahooch-Tea lactose IPA, which is sort of a beer inspired by an Arnold Palmer, without going too far on the Sprite-like Lemondrop and Motueka hops, or the two different teas used in brewing."

"Part of the burgeoning Westside Brewery District, Fire Maker opened at the start of the pandemic and found its footing fast with area residents who can easily walk to the brewery for beer. Now as more people discover its presence along Chattahoochee, Fire Maker has opened for both indoor and outdoor seating on its covered porch and patio. Head in for a Hazed and Blazed IPA, the Royal Velvet saison, the Calamity Jane blonde ale, or a Bedfordshire Barleywine."

"Try the Peach Whiskey Sour brew at Fire Maker Brewing for an authentic taste of Georgia. This place is one of Atlanta’s many family owned and built buisnesses. Featured Image: Glover Park Brewery"

"Does your other favorite new brewery also have its own library?. If not, you can still support them but you’ll have the best chance to put those brain cells back in place at Bold Monk. The 8.5% ABV dark doppelbock lager Ressurrector is also a strong pull for fall season."

"1737 Ellsworth Industrial Blvd NW suite d-1, Atlanta, GA 30318. This Westside brewery makes a Belgian Quad in a can. Seriously, who does that?!"

"Located across from Topgolf in Blandtown, this 14,000-square-foot brewery, owned by brothers Brian and Kevin Sullivan, has a 30-barrel brewhouse, and a small batch brew system which lets the freshest brews flow from the brewery’s 24 taps. Tucked well off Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard, Steady Hand offers year-round beers like Paradise Waits IPA and the Georgia Farmhouse Ale, but has expanded its line-up to a crisp new lager and the citrus-vanilla Guava Cake Sour. Outdoor seating available."

"Steady Hand is moving slowly but surely into the top tiers of being people’s champs of Atlanta beer. The Circles of the Sun toasted coconut blond stout is one of several always-on, always-available brews, but the brewery also just released a new fall seasonal amber beer -- a Sweet Potato Farmhouse -- that’s very smooth, slightly spiced, and made with actual sweet potatoes, in time to also start a new tradition: enjoying fall to the fullest."
