I've enjoyed Monk's Mead (especially the Faerie Dew) for years at Ren Fest. What a treat to come in tonight and try a flight of their wonderful selections! The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the service is friendly and generally perfect. Plenty of card and board games make it the kind of place where you'd like to spend a rainy afternoon. Prices are quite good as well - highly recommend! We've found a new favorite place! read more

I came in for trivia on Tuesday having no idea was Mead was. I tried 6 different meads, and one mead shot (?) that I won in trivia. Most of them were amazing, it was cute inside, and the workers were amazing. Will definitely be back. read more

We'd never tried mead before, and this was the perfect spot to try it! We tried all 12 by getting two taster flights. Some gems in there, with some very creative flavors. The service & atmosphere was welcoming and friendly , made it enjoy to enjoy a few drinks there. We also tried the pickles and charcuterie board, both were good. It's definitely a place you need to experience. I would recommend it to visit at least once for everyone. read more

After years of enjoying their mead "in the wild," I had my first chance to visit Monk's during Dragon Con 2025. From start to finish, everything was great. Allison at the bar was warm, friendly, and funny. She made it feel like I was visiting a friend at her home, and her thoughts and recommendations on some new meads to try were spot on. I ended up starting with a flight and shifting to a full pour of my favorite from the bunch (Savannah Heat). On top of wonderful staff and good drinks, if you're looking for something to eat, Monk's offers some tasty snacks to choose from including charcuterie, Bavarian style pretzels, girthy pickles, and a few other goodies. I snagged a pretzel to pair with my libations, and was happy with my choice. The visit and experience on Saturday was so good, I came back the next day for another round before dinner. So, whether this is your first time looking to try mead, or you've been someone who has enjoyed it for a while, Monk's is certainly worth a visit. read more

Monks Meadery - Mead flight - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Nothing not to like! Fun, quaint, local spot wuth good service and the unique Mead-Experience! There's indoor and outdoor hangout areas. I never knew it was here, and it was around the back of the building! Now I need to do more homework on their interesting story/ origin. read more

We came here on a Saturday afternoon right after they opened. The waiter was great and super helpful in explaining the menu and taking orders. Halloween decorations were all throughout and pretty fun. My partner and I got two flights and tried all the meads on the menu. My favorites were dragon's nectar, red wedding, and pink (bacchus blushed). I will definitely be back! The only thing I didn't like about this place was the drive down into the parking lot because it's at the bottom of a very steep hill so be careful driving in. read more

Monks Meadery - mead - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

One of Atlanta's most amazing hidden gems! They have a variety of mead, all of them worth trying. Each one is different and flavorful. If you've never had mead before, this is the perfect place to try it! The atmosphere is warm and cozy, with a lovely outdoor patio. And, the service is fantastic. Everyone was so friendly, especially Allison, who made sure we were taken care of during our visit. I'll be going back again the next time I'm in the neighborhood! read more

LOVED!! MEAD IS SO GOOD! The service was great and the vibe was awesome. Definitely want to go back! read more

Amazing place, amazing atmosphere, amazing menu, amazing people, amazing service! They have amazing events that really bring the community together! read more

To be fair, I was already a big fan of Monk's Meadery before my first visit to the taproom because I love the Ren Fair and Dragon*con where they are prominently featured. Today I discovered several new flavors that I loved, but the Sriki Tiki was a surprising delight! I ended up leaving with a box of mead! read more

Definitely loved this place! Never had monks Meade until I tried this place out. Tried a flight and loved all of them. Good flavors and very welcoming staff! Also loved the playlist playing! Would totally come back here and recommend to others. read more

Has decent parking adjacent to the building. Food/Drink: Absolutely fantastic mead with a wide selection. Can get a sample of meads for $30. Bartender was warm and talkative. Gave us good recommendations based on our preferences. read more

Monks Meadery - Mead flight with menu - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

What an amazing find and addition to the Atlanta scene! Monk's Meadery is Georgia's very first Meadery and is an all around amazing place to sip, sample and learn all about why Meade is the next best thing in the world of specialty booze! Monk's sits directly on N Highland Avenue diagonally across from Manuel's Tavern and sits on the downstairs backside of Java Vino. There is not much signage outside of a small building sign, but if you see Java Vino, then know you are mere feet from an amazing honey based beverage! The layout of Monk's is small with a three seat bar and about six high tops inside, but they also have a great tented outdoor space that easily holds 30+ folks comfortably. The night we visited was a little chilly, but it appears that they have a garage door that they open on good weather days to connect the inside and outside. Service was PHENOMENAL! Rae and Kat were the most pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable and all around amazing folks! They answered all questions we had, which were a lot as we knew nothing of Meade, gave us recommendations and legit even got to know us as patrons. It was an absolutely delightful time chatting with both of them! Now down to the Meade! They have a rolling menu of 12 house-made Meade's. You can get all of them in 3 or 10 ounce pours, or you can select 6 that you want in a flight! You can also get some as 4 packs of bottles if you wanted to take some home to enjoy! Given that we were novices, we opted for the flights. The flights are a great deal, as you get (6) three ounce pours for only $15! Another cool thing is the way they service it up, they allow you to number your choices on the menu from 1 - 6 and then they bring your flight back with your menu so you can follow along and know which exact one you are trying without getting lost amongst your Meade and the menu! My six tasty glasses of Meade-y goodness were... - Monks Meade - Peachin to the Choir - Dragon's Nectar - Belgian Brut - Orange Claudeous - Hazy Monk Hands down Dragon's Nectar was the winner of the night for me! It is a passion fruit, hibiscus and dragon fruit infused Meade and it was absolutely delish! The Peachin to the Choir and Hazy Monk were close runner ups! I will say the Hazy Monk was the most surprising of the night. The espresso flavor was so pronounced and perfectly balanced that I was equally shocked and impressed that they got so much robust flavor in such a smooth honey based drink! Overall, Monk's Meadery is a top spot for me and one that I will certainly visit again and that will definitely be on my recommendation list for all folks visiting Atlanta! read more

A nice hidden spot for a casual beer alternative in the city. I wasb't particularly fond of the mead I tried, or my partner's, hence the 3 star review. I typically like mead but given that we showed up within an hour or so of them closing for the day, I didn't want to bother the bartenders with trying too many flavors when what I ordered was ok. I'll have to give this place another fair shot to judge their drinks next time. read more

Stopped in here with a friend for a couple tasters of their mead. Wow. They have so many different things to try. The interior space is small-ish and cozy. The staff is super chill and was totally willing to help walk through the different flavors. There is cool art on the walls that is super unique, along with little "FYIs" about mead. Even the owner was walking around the tasting room and was totally available to chat. He clearly had a passion for his craft and a deep knowledge of the process and ingredients. You dont need to come here to get this good stuff either, "the official mead of DragonCon" can be found in most local stores and they also ship to 48 states. Go get some! read more

We stumbled across this place while walking around exploring Atlanta. The mead was delicious and the customer service was great! Most meads I've had have been pretty strong and mainly for sipping. They had a nice variety of lighter mead to more stronger mead. I loved the flavor variety! I would definitely return on a future visit! read more

Super cute spot! So many great meads available. Highly recommend if you're in the area. They won't disappoint.

Don't let Monk's eccentric menu and out -of-the-way location fool you- this spot has some of the most interesting and tasty brews near Poncey Highland. We stopped in for a quick drink on a Saturday night and ended up sampling their full menu in the form a mead flight, which came in a dazzling array of colors and made for a perfect taste-and-study kind of night. The mead, which is less like beer and more like a sweet fizzy wine or kombucha, was a delicious surprise, with the spicy Savannah Heat and the tropical Sriki Tiki being the standouts. The atmosphere- relaxed and quiet with obvious medieval touches- complimented the experience. Overall, Monk's is a perfect alternative to a couple beers and a new favorite in the neighborhood. read more

Good vibes, excellent mead, great place to come for a drink and a game with friends! (My personal suggestion is the Savannah heat, fruity with a kick of heat) read more

I visited this place solo and must say the staff made me feel very welcomed! The owner and staff offered great explanations on the products as well as the history of how they came about. I did purchase a Groupon and was their first Groupon customer. This was a good way to sample everything. I left with a 4 pack and have been saving my last can until I can stop by again! read more

Had a great time at Monks. The service was fast & friendly but not overbearing. Prices were reasonable and the flights were fun & interesting to taste. They don't serve food, but they support you ordering from other local places and bringing food in which I thought was both smart and practical. I just wish they were open more days! read more

Monks Meadery - Flight of meads - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Monks Meadery is the best. I have been 5 or 6 times. It's a small shop below/behind Java Vino across from Manuel's Tavern. It's so good. Mead is phenomenal and the variety of choices Monks has is great. There is something for everyone. I've come with multiple groups of friends and each of us has a different favorite. Mine is the Butter Buzz. It tastes like Butter Beer should taste like! Justin the owner is so friendly and nice. He loves talking with groups and explaining everything about mead. The wait staff is so attentive and fast too. It's definitely a fun little date spot. Can't wait to see what they have up their sleeve next at Monk's Meadery. read more

Stopped in today to pick up my Dragon's Nectar cans for DragonCon and stayed for what was on tap. The tiki themed mead is a perfect summertime drinker... very balanced and not heavy at all. The staff is super friendly and there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I'm sad I don't live in the area. This would be my neighborhood spot if I did! read more

Incredible. Staff are awesome, mead is good and the atmosphere is awesome! They even have board games. The regulars are great, the owner is kind. Can't sing the praises high enough. read more
