What people say, in short
Most people recommend Bold Monk, which commenters place in West Midtown, and many single out its upstairs, which one patron likens to a library. Many also mention the outdoor beer garden, some praise the beer, and many say the food is good, and some describe it as Belgian-focused. Some say its reservable areas and layout suit group events, but one diner notes the trip from Sandy Springs can be long and traffic-heavy. One visitor says it has the coolest space of any Atlanta brewery but thinks the beer is not the best.
