    Best fries ever!
    Sherman K.

    Stopped in to kill some time before an appointment; so glad I did as I found a nice gem. To be fair, I didn't have dinner, but just sat at the bar for a beer and some fries. Inside is very cozy, with a bit of a nautical feel. The beer selection was great, and I settled on an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Porter, which was wonderful. It wasn't overly sweet, which is what I liked about it. The fries, oh, the fries! They were about the best fries I've ever had! I can't wait to return to Atlanta so I can spend more time here.

    Been a while since I've been here. We arrived for lunch shortly after they opened. Server was certainly not very enthusiastic or friendly throughout. Started with a flight, which consists of six 4 oz pours for $15 - and unfortunately, you cannot pick the beers that you want in your pricey flight. Lunch menu was very limited. Sandwich offering was only three choices. I went with the burger ($19) and it was excellent as were the fries. Props for cooking to order and the delicious homemade pickles. Parking can pose some difficulty: it is a small lot and you must get to it from the back in an alleyway-type approach. Pros: food quality & atmosphere Cons: service, price, limited food options

    Excellent beers, I had 4 short beers which all super tasty and the vibe was really friendly. The food was fantastic. I highly recommend it!

    Pork schnitzel

    Such a hidden gem!! I've been to Little 5 so many times but always driven past this. I came here for a weeknight dinner with a friend. The parking lot is small but we found a spot and were seated almost immediately. I really loved the cozy vibes inside the basement of this Victorian-style house and the menu too felt very farm to table. I also loved the choice of local beers. We got the Wreckinator Dopplebock and a SAVAGE! Brown Porter. Our server was super knowledgeable and gave great recommendations and even let us taste to figure out what we wanted. For food, we had the octopus appetizer, pork schnitzel, a side of mac n cheese, and pork belly. The octopus was so tender and buttery and I liked the bok choy it came on top of. The pork schnitzel was cooked so thinly and crispy and was so yummy. The mac n cheese was so rich and I loved the variety of cheese used in it. The star of the night had to be the pork belly. It was so delicious and the celeriac puree it came on top of was HEAVENLY. I was literally scraping this off the plate. To round out the meal, we had an apple fritter with ice cream which came highly recommended by our server and did not disappoint. Overall, really cool space and I can't wait to come back!!!

    My flight of Wrecking Bar's top brews

    Located in the basement of an old mansion, the Wrecking Bar is an intimate restaurant, bar and brewpub. The ambiance is definitely English pub in nature and many of the beers fit this style. The food also has that feel with cheese and charcuterie board options, The menu also feels very farm to table in nature. Sat down at the bar and ordered a flight and had a great talk with the bartenders on that night. Very friendly staff and knowledgeable about their product. That should go without saying, but you would be surprised how many don't. Unfortunately, I can't rate the food here, as I had already eaten about an hour earlier. But the pork belly, duck pot pie, and trout all sounded wonderful. The person down the bar from me had the Apple Butter grilled cheese and was raving about how wonderful (and unique) it was. As my meal earlier was more basic and marginal, I wish I had read the menu here first. On a subsequent trip, I have to stop again and try some of the food.

    Food: My friend and I decided to check out Wrecking Bar on a Friday night. We both wanted sandwiches so we ordered the crispy cod sandwich and the apple butter grilled cheese so we could both try both sandwiches. For the sides we ordered fries. Both sandwiches were really good. Especially the grilled cheese it was so flavorful. My friend didn't like the aged cheddar at first bite, but she thought it paired well with the bacon and the apple butter which is made in house. Service: Our server Kyle was very friendly and gave great recommendations when we had questions about the menu. He constantly checked on us & even personally made honey mustard for my friend when she requested some to go with her fries.

    We had a great meal at Wrecking Bar Brewpub and so much fun with our server Schuyler! We shared an outdoor table and I didn't even go inside to see what it looked like. The patio is tucked into the side of the restaurant in a way that makes you feel like you're sitting on someone's porch- the neighborhood is residential which adds to that feeling. They have interesting beers- my husband enjoyed a whit beer and a "black" beer. I had the gin and tonic. The have a fabulous wine list. The cauliflower is plated weird but was delicious. The mussels were good and the trout was amazing. We also had a gooey chocolate dissertations which paired great with the Tempranillo. We were there for a preconcert dinner. Afterwards we walked to Variety Playhouse (and we had parked at the paid lot behind the theater. It was a perfect evening!!

    Wrecking Bar continues to be one of our go to restaurants. The staff is always friendly, the beers and cocktails are delicious, and the food doesn't disappoint. We usually grab a spot at the bar for a drink and some food, but most recently on a cool September evening, we opted for the patio to enjoy a slight feeling of fall. I ordered my go to cocktail, The El Camino al Sol and my partner ordered the new cold pale ale which came out a few days earlier. For food, we went "really healthy" and split the pimento cheese and cheese burger with fries. It was delicious and way better than a salad.

    Met friends for dinner at this place. From the outside it looks like a building about to be renovated, but then you go inside and it looks like an old school tavern in someone's basement. I only had soft pretzels as I had already eaten, but companions had beef and grain bowls they enjoyed. Service was excellent and also had a cool dessert menu. Would definitely go there again, but will eat the next time.

    Pastrami with a side of fries
    Calvin P.

    I craved pastrami being a New Yorker. This place did not disappoint!! I enjoyed a good Mexican beer and fries along with it. Service was knowledgeable and patient. I enjoyed eating inside though they do have a patio. Enjoyed the decor and feel!

    Beer flight
    Miles S.

    Great beer. Got the flight and liked all of them (beta todd was the best). Awesome burger, bar nuts, and service. It's alittle dark inside so I recommend going on a nice day and sitting outside, it was perfect.

    If you're looking for a pup-friendly patio in Little Five Points, you should definitely check out Wrecking Bar Brewpub! It's a really cool basement gastropub in an old Victorian mansion. They have a covered patio for you and your pup to enjoy that offers full table service. Wrecking Bar brews their own beer, carries other craft beer/ciders/cocktails, and offers a great menu of locally sourced food. They have a long list of liquors that they carry. The staff who helped us were super nice. We've been once before and sat at the bar and had a great experience too. We haven't eaten food there but we want to. It's so great that they offer locally sourced food. Everyone around us was eating and seemed to be enjoying their food! We will definitely be back here!

    What is the parking like?

    It's not bad MOST of the time. They have a private lot with maybe 20-25 spaces, but there is also street parking less than a block's walk. If it is a special event, it can be tricky. I'll probably be there tonight hoping for Mexican Siberious… 

    Resv ? Accepted?

    According to Resy and OpenTable, they do not take reservations. Sorry.

    Do they have high chairs/could you bring a baby on a Friday late afternoon?

    I believe they do. It's a full restaurant and bar. I've only been once though. Sat at a high top table in the bar area. Great spot all around.

It was delicious, but it could've not had juices leaking so much? Maybe cheese below and above the meat to try to keep some of the juices off the bun or maybe more bun toasting? The fries were amazing and I should've gotten the aolie initially, but didn't get it until I saw another table with an order. It was delicious. The service was very good. The server had good knowledge of the beers, food, and was friendly. This is one of the best beer bars in the US. The Atlanta area is fortunate to have two killer beer bars, the other being the Brick Store Pub in Decatur.

I'm not a beer drinker, but it looked like they have a variety of beverages in addition to a couple of meal choices. We entered, and everyone was so friendly. After placing our orders, we received a text that let us know to go nearby to the food truck to pick them up. The double burgers were tasty and the fries delicious. Our slushie drinks were exceptional. We enjoyed our meal before walking over to the game. As the ballgame ended, there was a notification that there was a severe thunderstorm and we should shelter in place by staying in the stadium. Since we had a bit of a drive home, we decided to get ahead of the weather and traffic and leave early. Well, we had only walked one block when the bottom fell out. We were drenched. We decided to run back into Wild Leap before we got our car next door. As we got to the front door, a young man (Manager? Shift manager?) whom we had seen working there earlier opened the door and welcomed us in. He immediately grabbed hand towels that were clean and dry for us to wipe off with and offered any assistance he could give us. We went to the restroom and tried to clean up a little, then came back out, handed over the towels and walked outside. It was still pouring out. The same man then insisted on running to his car to get his personal umbrella for us. He returned with the umbrella. My daughter used it as she got our car, then returned it to him. We were so impressed with Wild Leap for many reasons: the food was delicious, the drinks were excellent, and the service was superb.

Parking can be a little confusing at first, but there's a huge parking lot basically right behind (or in front) of the place. They have quite a few beers on tap, so if you like beer, you will definitely find something you like. They also have slushie drinks and then you can make your own well drink if you want too. They don't serve food, but they do occasionally have food trucks on site. Wild Leap has two levels, but the lower level is where the party is. The TVs are all down there, and they have some nice outdoor seating. The staff is all super friendly too. Happy to help! While Wild Leap is quite nice, it's super far from my home in Chamblee. I probably won't come back anytime soon, unless someone is having an event here.
