Parish Foods & Goods

Copy Link

Parish does day drinking right, with a build-your-own Bloody Mary and margarita bar at the Market every weekend, perfect for sipping while overlooking the bustling BeltLine.

Barcelona Wine Bar

Copy Link

Inman Park is home to some of the city's best patios, and Barcelona's wrap-around can't be beat. Neither can the half-off bottles of wine on Sundays.

Cypress Street Pint & Plate

Copy Link

Open every day (from 11 a.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. on weekends), this Midtown pub boasts a stellar local beer list and the infamous Sublime Doughnut burger.

The BookHouse Pub

Copy Link

The BookHouse doesn't open until 5 p.m., but that's technically still day, right? Also, funnel cake.

Noni's Bar & Deli

Copy Link

The late-night, DJ, and PBR-fueled parties at Noni's often spill over onto the back patio, but why wait until after dark to enjoy your beverage of choice and the addictive fries, without the crowds?

Tap: A Gastropub

Copy Link

With prime views of Peachtree Street and an extensive beer list (and even wine from a keg, if that's more your style), Tap will make you want to start your weekday happy hour several hours early.

The Nook

Copy Link

Piedmont Park. Totchos. Fishbowls. Bloody Marys with a BEEF straw. All the perfect ingredients for day drinking.

Six Feet Under Pub & Fish House

Copy Link

Fish and chips, beer, and unbeatable views can all be yours at the Midtown outpost of Six Feet Under.

Copy Link

Come for the potent cocktails. Stay for the shaded patio and the pub frites.

Copy Link

You won't find booze here, but will you find a great selection of coffee, tea, and treats from local vendors like Cacao. Pro tip: get there early to snag one of the porch swings.

Midway Pub

Copy Link

This East Atlanta mainstay is popular for its expansive porch, big screen TVs, and summertime activity nearly as popular as day drinking: bocce.

Tin Lizzy's Cantina

Copy Link

This rooftop patio comes with Oakland Cemetery views, margaritas, and cheese dip.

Empire State South

Copy Link
