The Beer Mug, uprooted from
Brookwood, this Buckhead landmark has relocated to 857 Collier Road, (404)
351-3795
The Beer Mug, which opened on Peachtree Road in 1968, was one of the first
sports bars in Atlanta and is considered a landmark drinking institution by
many. The building in which it was located was designed by architect Neel
Reid as a group of elegant storefronts called the Hunter Perry Adair Stores.
Now the site is occupied by the Brookwood Shopping Development. The club relocated in 1999 to its current home at 857 Collier Road
near the intersection of I-75 and Howell Mill Road.

Buckhead Pool Hall, 30
Irby Avenue. For more than 50 years, the
pool hall has been a storied hangout for students, professionals, cabbies,
police and politicians. Opened in 1946 by James Lunsford, later owned
by Gene Loudermilk and now by
Mike Dowdle, it
is the oldest bar in Buckhead. One of the most
popular commercials in Europe for Levi's jeans was shot there, as were
parts of a video on baseball legend Hank Aaron and numerous music
videos. Minnesota Fats, one of the best pool players who ever lived,
played there in 1957. |
