Food & Drink 35 Bars with Fireplaces to Keep You Warm in ATL this Winter

Most of the year in Atlanta we can kick it outdoors and patio-drink to our heart's content, but what heck are we supposed to do now that it's winter?! Well, besides these sweet things, you can do your drinking at one of these 35 Thrillist-approved, fireplace-equipped bars...

Seven Lamps

Buckhead

3400 Around Lenox Rd NE

Snag one of their top-shelf cocktails and their secret burger. The house-pickled, uh, pickles, top this sweet piece of meat. Fadó Irish Pub

Buckhead

273 Buckhead Ave NE

Grab a pint and a shot downstairs among the soccer-cheering crowd, then head upstairs for more good times. Don’t worry, there’s another bar there to keep you supplied while you’re warming your tootsies. Divan

Buckhead

3125 Piedmont Rd NE

The flames by the fireplace keep your outsides warm, and the hookah smoke will keep your inside warm. A few of their Persian cocktails will help with that, too. Gordon Biersch

Buckhead

3242 Peachtree Rd NE

The reflections of the flames on their giant beer tanks provide a pleasant ambience for you to sip their dark lager. The legendary garlic fries are a pretty good complement, too. Twin Peaks

Buckhead

3365 Piedmont Rd NE

Since we’re so far from skiing here in the South, you need to hit up this resort-themed watering hole for the “scenery”. The menu surprises with more-than-typical bar fare, including the chef's specialty steamed coconut buns. Buckhead Saloon

Buckhead

3227 Roswell Rd

Well-known for packing in hundreds and serving drinks by the thousand, this Buckhead bar has a cozy side, too. Oh, and one of their 10oz bacon and BBQ sauce burgers can be your new best friend. Treehouse Restaurant and Pub

Buckhead

7 Kings Cir NE

How this tiny little spot under the leaves has managed to stay a secret for almost 30 years is inexplicable. How they manage such a deep beer and wine list in this tucked-away cottage is also inexplicable. Churchill’s British Pub

Buckhead

3223 Cains Hill Place NW

Always a solid place for a quick game of darts and a pint, this British-ish pub is also a great place to grab a neat scotch and trade tall tales. Prohibition

Buckhead

56 E Andrews Dr NW

After you enter the code for this secret establishment, grab a cigar, a bourbon, and head to the back to enjoy them as they were intended.

Joe’s on Juniper

Midtown

1049 Juniper St NE

One of the best bars in town sports an impressive patio, but the fireplace inside is worth checking out as well... as are the $2 beers and shorties. CosmoLava

Midtown

45 13th St NE

This trendy lounge inside a house has a laid-back side too, so get you a martini and find a girl in an impossibly short dress to talk to about your latest Kardashian theories. Kat’s Cafe

Midtown

970 Piedmont Ave NE

A jazz spot/martini bar/open-mic room is usually warm enough just from the body heat. But on those really cold nights, the hearth works well too. Park Tavern

Midtown

500 10th St NE

The city’s best ground-level view keeps you comfortable in all seasons, and always remember, when it rains this winter, they'll pour dollar drafts. Cypress Street Pint & Plate

Midtown

817 W Peachtree St NW

The boys behind one of Atlanta’s best cheeseburgers want to give you every reason to chow down in any weather. Get yourself a Fireside Rye for the most appropriate combination of whiskey, ginger beer, and heat. Rí Rá Irish Pub

Midtown

1080 Peachtree St NE

Good for much more than just St. Patrick’s shenanigans, a solid selection of Irish spirits, Euro sports, trivia, and a snuggly pit provide an excellent year-round experience.

Ye Olde Dunwoody Tavern

Dunwoody

5488 Chamblee Dunwoody Rd

No matter who ye are, ye will enjoy Dunwoody’s British-style pub designed by a real Brit. UK-appropriate drafts, Scotch eggs, and chips keep you in proper cheer. Paces & Vine

Vinings

4300 Paces Ferry Rd

Tom Murphy created one of Atlanta’s best neighborhood spots, and now he’s got a serious beer, wine, food, and cocktail place up 75. The Winter Margarita has a little chipotle heat. Meehan’s Public House

Sandy Springs

227 Sandy Springs Pl NE

The chef dishes bangers, mash, and chips from the kitchen. Pints on pints on pints of delicious ales, ciders, and lagers flow from the bar. Seems like a pretty good pairing. Rose and Crown Tavern

Cumberland

1931 Powers Ferry Rd SE

A full late-night menu and daily $5 drink specials are always a good reason to hit up this Northside spot. A very respectable beer list makes coming inside the good kind of drafty. Atkins Park Tavern

Smyrna

2840 Atlanta Rd SE

One the most established names in Atlanta bars got the reputation for much more than just beer. Their gravy and cheddar-jack fries, Creole-boiled peanuts, and grilled cheese with whiskey bacon jam are righteous drinking food. 5 Seasons Brewery

Sandy Springs

5600 Roswell Road #21

The Prado’s giant beer and tavern fare mainstay offers -- as its name suggests -- a place for you during any season. The fifth one must be beer season because their 285 Gridlock ESB is named after our awful traffic, which is an every day thing. Hudson Grille

Brookhaven

4046 Peachtree St

Loads of beer taps and some of the city’s most solid bar food keep you fully satisfied. Plenty of sports action and a very “social” atmosphere give you plenty to do, whether you’re into the game or the off-field activities.
