Food & Drink Atlanta's Red Line bar crawl

Sitting in the usual bumper-to-bumper traffic on interstates 75/85, or the 285 (OMG Spaghetti Junction, you suck!), is enough to drive anyone to drink... except you can't get to a bar 'cause you're stuck in traffic! So, why not take advantage of Atlanta's admittedly kinda-sucky public transportation and spend an evening hitting these sweet spots on Thrillist's bar crawl along MARTA's Red Line?

PEACHTREE CENTER STATION

Stop #1: White Oak Kitchen & Cocktails

270 Peachtree St NW; Downtown; 404.524.7200

Craveable bar bites like fried oysters, a Southern hooch list with 80+ whiskeys and bourbons, and the must-have Atlantan w/ cherry-infused Woodford Reserve, Kirsch brandy & chocolate bitters, all make this the perfect first stop.



Stop #2: Alma Cocina

191 Peachtree St NE; Downtown; 404.968.9662

You're here for tequila-laden margs, and definitely some crispy pork belly with roasted corn guac. Plus, they do Tamale Tuesday every... um, Tuesday, which means they serve the wrapped Mexican eats from a food cart 'til they run out.

MIDTOWN STATION

Stop #3: Empire State South

999 Peachtree St NE; Midtown; 404.541.1105

This Midtown heavy-hitter's Larceny Bourbon-heavy Street Legal cocktails are so good they probably shouldn't be... so down a couple while playing bocce ball under the stars before someone bans the things.



Stop #4: Lure

1106 Crescent Ave NE; Midtown; 404.817.3650

You're here for the oversized punch bowl cocktails that're meant to be enjoyed with friends... who are presumably all still stuck in traffic, so just down the whole thing yourself.

Stop #5: Article 14

1180 Peachtree St; Midtown; 404.443.8432

This spot's named for the Constitutional Amendment that gives you the right to... build your own Manhattans!



Stop #6: Cypress Street Pint & Plate

817 W Peachtree St NW, Ste E125; Midtown; 404.815.9243

Grab a spot on the patio at this craft-suds destination, then grab a handful of the $5 beer/shorty combos they're slinging all day everyday, or a $5 Philly sandwich if it's Monday.
