Great place. Friendly, accommodating service. Great beers on tap. I had Saison DuPont, Gouden Carolus Classic, Victory Rauchbier, De Rocs Triple Imperial, and more. But I have to take off a point for not having a micro stout or porter on tap, which is what my wife wanted. Beautiful decor. Very nice friendly staff. My wife, child, and I all decided to order our dinners at different times: no problem. There was always a server around to get what we needed. Never saying, I’m not your server or anything. Excellent service.

Awesome looking place on the outside and inside. Big ceilings and great decor. The bar-area is really cool looking, too. I’d give it a higher score in ambiance if not for all the hipster folks wandering about. Def not my scene. Beer-wise it’s as good as you’ll find in the SE. Some pretty obscure Victorys on tap and the Oak-Aged Terrapin Rye Squared. Prices are great. Didn’t have a chance to check out the Belgian bar upstairs, unfortunately. Overall, I’d say it’s an awesome place to grab a quick beer or two, but I personally don’t think I’d feel at home here.

I get off the plane and give CaptainCougar a call: Are you guys having a tasting today? He says not and that I should hit up Brick Store instead. It was very easy to find surprizingly. Drove from the airport North on 85 until I saw a Decatur exit. Went west for 10 minutes until the street ends and you run into it. Possibly the best beer bar in the South East. It was awesome. Enormous selection, like a good beer store. The customers are very friendly and very knowledgeable.

The best beer bar in the Atlanta area. * Quaint little bar in a hip downtown square surrounded by small shops and restaurants. The downstairs bar features 17 quality taps. Upstairs in the Belgian bar is another 8 taps of Belgian beers. Both areas have a good selection of bottles as well. No crap on tap and everything served in proper glassware. No TVs (except during World Cup). Just good beer and conversation. The Brick Store excels in getting rare kegs with small distributions. * The have a very small kitchen that manages to turn out some tasty dishes, but my favorite thing to get is a cheese tray where you select up to three different cheeses from a list of quality selections. * They are just a few steps away from the MARTA Decatur station. Take the East line to Decatur, exit the station in the same direction as the train was traveling, turn left to go up the stairs to the courtyard area, turn right and Brick Store will be in the middle of the row of shops. * The Brick Store is the most essential stop in Atlanta and the hub for a Decatur pub crawl along with Twain’s and taco Mac.

I really, really, really enjoy this place. They have an incredible amount of beers and seemingly each one comes in its own glass. If you’re visiting Atlanta or even just near it, it’s well worth the stop.

Only about a block from the Decatur MARTA stop, so no worries about a DD. Lovely brick interior. I didn’t make it to the Belgian bar upstairs - I stuck to regional microbrews on the taps downstairs. Bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. Not a huge menu, but what they have is tasty and well prepared. Worth seeking out in Atlanta (even if it takes a 45 minute MARTA ride from a different part of town)

What a fantastic place. Great atmosphere. Extremely friendly servers. Wonderful beer selection. The Belgian Bar upstairs is phenomenal. Food was excellent, too. Can’t say enough good things about the Brick Store Pub.

Decatur would be a good place to live without the Brickstore, but the pub—the very heart of the city—makes it nearly perfect. Run by three of the nicest people on the planet, their personality comes out in every well-crafted nook and cranny. The beer selection is just about unparalleled. The staff is knowledgeable and is always glad to bring you a taste of whatever you’ve never tried. It’s a shrine to great beer, and I thank God it’s a mile from my house.

My favorite place in Atlanta by far.... It’s just too bad I live all the way up in Alpharetta... they have an amazing selection of quality craft beer on tap and a whole Belgian bar upstairs.... They get special kegs all the time that you won’t find anywhere else in ATL... like Ten FIDY. The atmosphere is really cool - very european pub feel. Great service, excellent food and overall extremely relaxed environment. If you are in Atlanta and love quality beer - you must stop here.
