Candler Park & Little Five Points

The Candler Park neighborhood and the Little Five Points business district share both a common border along Moreland Avenue and an interconnected bohemian history. Before being swallowed by Atlanta, Candler Park was a town called Edgewood. Today, it still retains its charming small town vibe. It's a bit like Mayberry, if Andy Taylor biked to work and Aunt Bea baked "special" brownies. Historic craftsman bungalows and smiling young families dominate the landscape. The business district of Little Five Points is Candler Park's younger, counter-culture cousin. Although dotted with head shops and curious teenagers, newer businesses like the Wrecking Bar Brewpub are decidedly more grown-up in nature, a possible sign of changes to come.

Housed in a historic home on Moreland Ave (just down from the hubbub of L5P), the Wrecking Bar Brewpub is one of our favorite gastropubs in all of Atlanta. Built in 1900 by architect Willis F. Denny, who designed many notable late Victorian buildings in Georgia, the Beaux-Arts Classical Revival style structure has had several previous lives: private home, church, dance school, and architectural antiquities store (also called The Wrecking Bar). The pub has a dark, gentleman's club atmosphere with heavy wood and exposed granite. Out back is the brewery (open for a free tour on Saturdays at 4:30), where brewers craft the beers served in the pub, ranging from Weisse to "Breakfast Stout” (hints of bread, toffee, dark fruit, chocolate, and a fat dose of cold-pressed coffee). Priced from $2 shorties to $6 pints, it's easy to try a few options to find your favorites. But it's not just about the beer here: the full dinner and brunch menus are legit "foodie" rather than "bar food-y," and the whiskey list is one of the best in town. You might want to Uber-it here; you'll most likely want to stay awhile.
