    Mead flight
    Matthew E.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Absolutely awesome place to try several different types of mead. Highly recommend stopping in and getting a flight. The staff is super friendly and outgoing. They seemed to love pouring our mead as much as we enjoyed drinking it. Definitely grab a flight!

We were sitting down and saw quite a few tables drinking some wine and they all had chillers on the table too. We were curious to see what this was all about so we went inside 3 Parks Wine to take a look. We went inside and were greeted immediately upon entering, and a woman there gave us a rundown on the wine store in addition to what they offer. You can buy wine from here and drink it either inside or right outside on the tables in the front. They offer flights almost every day, and the lady mentioned that they are changing them almost every day too. She said that the daily wine flights are $25 per person which includes 3 half-glass pours. This is honestly such a steal! She also mentioned that they have different events throughout the year, and said to check their Instagram for an up-to-date calendar. The store was quite spacious inside, and they had so many different wine bottles to choose from. They had sparkling, white, reds, and even some oranges too! The bottles all ranged in different prices, so you will definitely find something you like and something that's also within your budget. They also had a nice selection food wine-esque food too, like chips and crackers. The staff was super nice and knowledgeable about all their offerings. They were friendly and didn't try to push you to buy something. Me and my wife will definitely come back one day to take advantage of their daily wine flights, this is right up our alley! 3 Parks Wine is located right across New Realm (on the beltline side) down the stairs. When you get to the bottom, it will be on your right. 3 Parks customers receive a 2-hour parking validation in the O4W office tower structure, or find ample street parking on Ralph McGill and the surrounding area.

    ATL Vineyard Express........Is it possible to give more than 5 stars? This was a surprise for me by…read moremy significant other "he received plenty brownie points for this oneJ". Oh what a wonderful surprise and experience it was........So let's just say that I was very stunned to learn that there were so many wineries in the state of Georgia. This is how my journey unfolded on this beautiful day; I will start with Tom Ward the owner....Mr. Wine Connoisseur himselfJ Very knowledgeable and full of wisdom beyond his years. There wasn't a question that I asked or wanted to learn about wines that Tom wasn't able to provide me with an answer for. Tom was friendly, kind, attentive and very accommodating. Once we got on the tour bus, filled with snacks, water, wine and movies I was like a kid on her way to her very first field trip. We made a stop at one of his pickup locations to pick up two additional lovely ladies. We stopped and had a celebratory toast to begin our wine adventure; it was amazing. From there, we drove to the first winery "Wolf Mountain Vineyard". It was cozy, beautiful, with great ambiance. We had a quick bite (very delicious) and of course several rounds of wine tasting. Then we were off again to our 2nd winery "Serenity Cellars". This in itself was an amazing experience. The staff was remarkable; there was a wide selection of wines red and white. I am normally a sweet wine drinker, but this definitely gave me an opportunity to expand my palate and gave me a better appreciation for different wines. Of course, I could not forget the beautiful young lady that serenaded us with her lovely voice. Lastly, our 3rd winery "Kaya Vineyard & Winery". This winery was a little bit more upbeat, much younger crowd, not as quaint as the other wineries but nonetheless still good. There wines were ok but didn't knock me off my feet. Yes, I still drank it.....all of it lol. The view was amazing, one of the most beautiful rainbows I have ever seen. It was just my luck because then the second rainbow came out; first time ever seeing a double rainbow. So I said all this to say, no matter your level of expertise with wines this is the tour for you. There is something for everyone. I bought several bottles of wine and have been enjoying some and put the rest up for another time. I am a light weight so on the way home I slept like a baby while everyone else enjoyed a great documentary on wines. I am actually looking forward to doing this tour again. Maybe in the Spring or the Summer. One of my best tours ever!!!!! I applaud the level of excellence received at ATL Vineyard Express.

    This was BY FAR the best wine tour/tasting I've ever been on! Myself and a group of girls (total of…read more8) came out to Blue Ridge this weekend to celebrate our friend's Bachelorette party! Everything about this tour was amazing. But the shining star... our tour guide Jerome! He was an absolutely perfect guide and great guy! (We were very sad to say bye to him at the end of the day!) He was SUPER knowledgeable about wine and was able to explain things in a way that was easy to understand, and we learned so much from him! He took us to three great wineries, we got to spend about 2 hours at each I think is what it came out too. All the wines we had were fantastic and with his help, we were able to get so much out of the tasting experience. Since we were staying in Blue Ridge, we had the option to drive to one of the wineries to meet Jerome, and then he drove us to the wineries from there. He was a great & safe driver, the van was comfortable and he even had water and snacks for us! Also, they provided lunch for us at the first winery! They had a great choice of options (including vegetarian) and it was delicious!! (I personally got the brisket tacos and it was so good!) We would HIGHLY recommend contacting Pop The Cork if you're in town - and if you can, request Jerome - you will absolutely not regret it and will love him! THANK YOU again for making this day so amazing and special for us and our bride to be!
