February 13- Valentine's Day at the Wrecking Bar

Love this spot in Little 5 Points!  Quaint brewpub underneath an event space.  During the summer it is nice to sit at a patio table but in winter the inside is warm and inviting with a fireplace and sometimes live music.  They are known not just for mixologist cocktails and beers but also for vegetarian night and really good fries.  They are having a special Valentine's day menu (on the day before) if you are so inclined:

You'll fall in love with the tempting menu Chef Jeremiah created for Valentine's Day. 

• Lobster bisque with Tarragon Creme Fraiche 
• Blood Orange Salad: local arugula, Anson Mills rye wheat berries, Decimal Place goat cheese, shaved fennel, pecans, grapefruit-champagne vinaigrette 
• Fried Whole Lobster with Celeriac and ricotta puree, Meyer lemon sabayon
• and for dessert, Jeremiah's chocolate and coconut pound cake

The Wrecking Bar Brewpub Vegetarian Tuesday's

Even if you aren't a vegetarian I highly recommend Wrecking Bar Brewpub's weekly event.  Every Tuesday they have an awesome vegetarian menu and of course their award winning brews and cocktails.  It's a great place for groups or to belly up to the bar.  Sometimes their menu has vegan selections as well.  I have had the seitan wrap and that with fries is so yummy.  On a side note, it is a great date spot or catch up with friends spot around the bar.

The Porter Beer Bar

                               

I love this little hidden gem in Little Five Points. On the outside it looks like a tiny bar but when you walk through it's actually a pretty big space with tables. They have over 800 beers so this is a beer lover's paradise. My friend had a beer that tasted like chocolate. I had the beer flight (pictured above) which was awesome.  We also had the hush puppies with apple sauce, which is almost like a dessert.  Check it out, I highly recommend it!
