Monday Night Brewing

The Grove...Needed a great spot for my first PLACE review. The Grove IS IT, literally and figuratively! But I first had to call Slander for some BeerAv-Nav assistance. Thank you my beer brother!
Superific Spot for flavorful well brewed beers and a yumilicios eclectic food menu in a unusal and kewl, awesome urban yet back yard like indoor/outdoor setting. Taproom is a well converted multi-level, industial space with a knowledgeable and very helpful & friendly bar staff who not only pull the beer sticks, but also brew Java and mix yummy looking cocktails! The kitchen/cook area is open and viewable as chefs prepare brick oven pizzas and other yummy treats. We split a prosciutto, mozzarella, basil and tomato sammie with balsamic dressing. Simply Yum!
Outside there is a large covered patio area with picnic tables and high tops and an open, tiered well designed picnic area with a LARGE drive-in movie like screen for sports n stuff. Guests were a mix of families and a mix of generations.
Good variety of great craft brews on a well designed beer menu. My fav... the LiLy 7.2% Saison. Apricot, Salt, Straw. D'S fav (my 20 year matrimonial companion in beer tourism) was the Savignon Crunk 6% Fruited Wild Ale. Green Apple, Grape, Funk. KEEP IT UP MNB!

 

The bowling alley was a purgatory of collared degenerates and PowerPoint hallucinations. The pins screamed like tortured souls while some unwashed evangelist droned about the cloud as if it were God himself—his sermon punctuated by the mechanical crash of Brunswick machinery grinding out another strike. The smell of nacho cheese and ambition rotted in the air. My badge said “Engineer.” My heart said “Get the hell out.”

The Uber arrived like a divine intervention or a drug sting. I hurled myself in, muttering coordinates to freedom—Monday Night Brewing, that holy garage of salvation and despair. The driver didn’t speak, just nodded like a man who’d seen too many lost souls crawl into his backseat in search of redemption.

And then—light. Music. Beer. Civilization. The brewery opened before me like the gates of Valhalla with Wi-Fi. People laughed, drank, forgot. I dove in. Han Brolo first—smooth, reckless, a hop grenade to the brainstem. Then Drafty Kilt—malty, seductive, whispering in Gaelic that I’d never be sober again.

That’s when the pirate appeared. Or maybe it was a man in a startup hoodie with one eye blown out from staring too long into Kubernetes YAML. He challenged me to a duel—or a chug race. I couldn’t tell which. Foam sprayed like divine baptism. The bar howled. Suddenly I was in a kilt, barefoot, ranting about freedom and latency while someone shouted “DRINK, YOU COWARD!”

A Wookiee showed up—real or imagined, it didn’t matter. He grunted something about a life debt, and I nodded, because who was I to argue with eight feet of hair and empathy? The night blurred into hyperspace. I remember fragments: laughter, sirens, a barstool collapsing under divine weight.

Then blackness.

I awoke in my hotel room, half-naked, badge still around my neck, tasting of malt and moral failure. My flight was in an hour. I packed what dignity I had left and fled Atlanta like a man pursued by bounty hunters and accountants alike.

Point five past light speed, baby. The stars stretched. The hangover followed. Monday Night had won.

Very chill vibe in this sneaky huge old industrial space, it is down a strangely unpopulated road in a very populated area. Lively music and the ends of trivia night happening with crowds when I was visiting, fun. The beer selection is the typical new age brewery now: tons of ipas and barrel aged dominating. The service was very slow, but very friendly once you got to your turn to order, though they knew very little about the beer they were pouring. Barrel program needs some tweaking, could be a fun spot for ipa fans

 

More of a relaxed vibe than other breweries in town. I’ve never had a spectacular beer from Monday Night, but the beers are usually decent. Shaded outside bar is a great place to share a beer after work.

Call location nestled into the trees with indoor and outdoor seating available. Great selection of beer. They had trivia night on Tuesday night when we cane although we didn’t stay for it. Again very cool place

 

My wife and I went to Monday Night Garage to hang out with her brothers and their wives, and it was a great experience. The variety of beers was amazing, especially the Blind Pirate.

 

Atlanta is so much more enjoyable, since they allow you to buy pints now. This place is pretty high on the list, as far as Atlanta goes. Lots of good IPA's. They even have a dedicated spot, off from the main bar, to really amp up the IPA experience. Taproom is roomy and the staff was really great.

 

My kind of place. Tucked away in a nice quiet space. Very cool vibe. Me Robot “slurped” was stupid good. Totally enjoyed myself.

Excellent brewery! Nice selection, fast service, and comfortable setting.

in a former industrial building on the hot Westside of Atlanta. It's downhill from the Atlanta Water Works and you can really smell it when outside the brewery. Otherwise the interior of the former industrial space is interesting and it's a good use of a formerly abandoned building. The beers selection is fairly uninspired

 

Low-key vibe in the heart of downtown Atlanta. Always a great selection of a variety of beers, and their hoppy selections are on point.

This is an excellent brewery. Many great beers being produced recently.

 

Great beers, and a really friendly staff. A fun place to spend some quality brew drinking time. They are especially good at barrel aged versions of their imperial stouts.

I wasn't really going to comment about this on this forum, but since my buddy before me did, I guess I will confirm the story.
"I'm the solo bartender tonight, so I don't have time to pour flights". We stared at the menu for over 2 minutes, while he stared at us, and no one came up to the bar. I then politely asked, "since there is no line, could you pour a flight? If someone comes up behind us, I understand". And bammm, the attitude, and the "let's see some ID's!" (I am obviously in my forties). Let's waste more of your precious time.
I get it. If it was busy, I would have MORE than got it. Completely soured our experience.
Doubt we'll be back...

Stopped here for some samples on ironically a Monday Night. The place wasn't overly busy and when we asked for flights the short bald bartender gave us attitude saying "it would take a while to pour flights" for us. My friend responded with saying "Well, we're the only ones in line right now so we don't mind waiting". The bartender then rolled his eyes and carded us which just seemed like a ploy to irritate us or something. He poured the flights in what I thought was a normal amount of time... 2 flights in under 5 minutes doesn't seem too long to me? Anyway, there was a side bar that we ended up going to afterward that had some of the more limited stuff on draft, the girl running that was awesome. The vibe of the place was nice, I dug the wall of neckties and such. The beers were better from the limited run taps than the year round stuff. I know there is a second location for MNB and I would probably check that one out in the future if I'm ever back in the area.

 

In an old warehouse with a very open inside that can hold a lot of people. There are ties on one wall that people have donated (see their label). Good idea and marketing gimmick. the beer is really good and they have won a lot of awards so worth a visit.

 

My wife and I dropped in at Monday Night Brewing a couple of weeks ago while we were visiting Atlanta. It's got a really cool vibe; kind of a warehouse-cum-dad's-basement feel with mismatched furniture and a projector showing cartoons (the necktie wall is also a nice touch). They had around 17 taps; 9 at the main bar and an additional 8 at the satellite "hop hut" on the other side of the taproom. I did a taster tray; the beer was quite decent. Service was great and friendly; it was also efficient despite being really busy. I would not hesitate to return the next time I'm in Atlanta.

 

This was a cool little place. I had tried some of their barrel aged beers at the Porter, and decided to give the brewery a shot. It's on a secluded back street, so it's a nice laid-back location. Big open room inside with tables, games and Bob Ross on projector. Outside deck has more games and a firepit. While it wasn't too busy when I visited, I'd imagine it could get fairly hopping during peak hours. There were eh maybe 8 or so beers to chose from, with some being available for a 4-sampler flight. I wasn't too blown away by the ones I had, but the Han Brolo pale ale was nice, and my favorite of the lot. There was only one guy working the beer pours, so the line got backed up a little, but he seemed to be doing his best. There was also lots of merch available, as well as a huge fridge full of cans and bottles to take home. Definitely a neat place worth checking out, and those barrel-aged stouts they made were fire.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great brewery. Very good selection.

What a great Monday evening venue!!! The vibe puts you in instant relaxation mode and a down to earth feel. You feel like taking your tie off and getting your flip flops out. Corn hole on the outer deck, music, and a good old fashion monster movie. Nothing like a Monday Night.

I really enjoyed the tour of Monday Night Brewing and their beer is excellent. The Blind Pirate fresh on tap was amazing! Probably the best $10 I've spent in a very long time. I will definitely return. My only negative rating is for selection. Being a fairly new brewery, Monday Night's selection is very small, but the beer is quality so it's not that big of a deal. Highly recommended!
