Brewhouse Cafe

The Vibe

Walk into Brewhouse Cafe on a Saturday morning and you'll understand why Men in Blazers named it America's Best Soccer Bar. The stone fireplaces, walls packed with football scarves and memorabilia, and the low rumble of anticipation before kickoff make it feel less like a bar in Atlanta and more like a pub plucked from a side street in Manchester. Founded in 1997 at the corner of Moreland and McLendon in Little Five Points, Brewhouse has spent nearly three decades cultivating a soccer culture that's as passionate as anything you'll find stateside.

The Setup

Twenty-eight large-screen TVs cover virtually every wall and sightline, so there's no bad seat in the house. During major tournaments like the World Cup and Olympics, Brewhouse opens its doors at 5 a.m. to make sure nobody misses a minute. The best patio in Little Five Points sits out front, and there's an enclosed sun-room area with windows all around that feels like sitting inside a greenhouse full of football fans. Sound is always on for the main match.

Match Day Experience

Brewhouse is an official Atlanta United pub partner, so pre-game energy before Five Stripes matches is electric. But the real magic happens during Premier League mornings and Champions League nights. Regular crowds know each other by name, and the communal atmosphere is genuine. As Roger Bennett put it after visiting: "The connection the crowd feels for each other is palpable. It is a shining example of all that is good about a soccer bar." The bar beat out 1,600 other pubs and pulled in 23,000 votes to claim the Men in Blazers title in March 2025.

Food and Drink

The kitchen goes beyond standard pub fare. Fish and chips, bangers and mash, and wings are menu staples, but you'll also find steaks, burgers, pizza, and a full weekend brunch. The beer list is extensive, and the cocktail program includes a proper Old Fashioned, Dark and Stormy, and three variations on the Painkiller. For early morning matches, they serve a traditional breakfast that pairs perfectly with a pint.

Who Goes There

Brewhouse draws a true cross-section of Atlanta's soccer community. You'll find Atlanta United season ticket holders, Premier League die-hards who've been coming since the 1990s, international fans passing through, and newcomers who wandered in and never left. The vibe is welcoming but intense when it matters. With a second location opening on Broad Street in South Downtown in 2026, positioned a 15-minute walk from Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Brewhouse is gearing up to welcome the world for the FIFA World Cup.

Insider Tips

For big matches, arrive at least 30 minutes early. The patio fills first on nice days. If you're visiting during World Cup 2026, the new South Downtown location will be the closer option to the stadium. Parking in Little Five Points can be tricky on weekends, so consider rideshare or the free neighborhood lots a block or two away.
