gets consistent-

young people
to live in:
there's a ton to
do here. Stay-

almost requires getting out and
exploring the city. Although
I’ve lived here only a couple of
years, I’ve done my best to cov-
er as many cool spots I can
think of that Atlanta has to of-

Little 5 Points is a funky
neighborhood with a number of

a hybrid vintage clothing/
costume/party/thrift shop where
you’ll find everything from
three-feet tall boots to themed

and a menu with some horrify-

(Sep. 24). Midtown’s nightlife is also
especially lively, as it boasts more than
half of Atlanta’s night-
clubs; Opera, Cosmo La-
va, and MJQ are some of
my favorite places. Check
out the Laughing Skull for
stand-up comedy, Front
Page News for brunch
(and for a build your own
bloody mary bar), Ri Ra
for an authentic Irish pub,
Rita’s for Italian (Water)
Ice, and Midtown Art
Cinema for indie films.
If you’ve exhausted this
list, fear not. I’ve missed
countless great places, and
there’s still Inman Park,
Old Fourth Ward, Cab-
bage Town, East Atlanta,
Edgewood, Toco Hills,
Buckhead, Grant Park, and dozens of
other neighborhoods each with their own
personality, food spots, entertainment,
and of course, beer. ▲
favorite) and Neighbor's are next door to
each other and both have nice patios for
when the weather is nice. 10 High has
Metalsome Mondays with a live band
playing behind those with the guts to do
karaoke.
The Virginia Highlands flows into the
Poncey Highlands, where you’ll find the
24/7 Majestic Diner and the Atlanta’s
oldest theater, the Plaza, which shows
indie films and recently hosted the up-
and-coming film producer Tommy
Wiseau (Youtube “The Room”). Not far
away is the notorious Clermont Lounge-
proceed with caution.
Downtown: Atlanta has several profes-
sional sports teams and you can usually
find pretty good deals on game tickets
through Emory. You can also get tickets
through Emory for some pretty cliché
(but also cool) downtown attractions like
the Georgia Aquarium (world’s largest),
Coca-Cola Museum, and CNN tours. For
music, the Tabernacle is one of many
venues for great concerts.
Midtown is next to downtown and is
probably the most trendy area in Atlan-
ta. It’s home of the
Fox Theatre, Wood-
ruff Arts Center,
High Museum, At-
lanta Botanical Gar-
den, and much more.
The Shakespeare
Tavern is an espe-
cially great spot –
eat food and drink
beer while you
watch talented per-
formances of Shake-
speare’s works. If
it’s raining, go to
Park Tavern for $1
beers – it’s right
next to Piedmont,
Atlanta’s second
biggest park (behind
Emory’s Lullwater). Try Screen on the
Green during the summer- they play
great movies in the park. In the fall,
check out the Music Midtown festival

Brick Store. I like to side it with a field
green salad: mesclun greens, roma toma-
toes, sunflower seeds, yellow raisins &
parmesan cheese, tossed with tahini green
goddess dressing. The house pastrami
sandwich is as good as any Jewish deli’s
and if you’d like something a little more
out of the box, I recommend the cup o’
curr“ey” which comes in appetizer and
entrée-sized portions. Beer and cheese
tastings occur the 1st Monday of every
month starting at 6 pm, five beers and five
cheeses for $25. Interestingly, the owners
of the Brick Store also own Leon's just
down the street. Brick Store neophytes

The Brick Store Pub
was opened in 1997 by
Dave Blanchard, Mike
Gallagher and Tom
Moore, three Athens
natives looking to fill
the Atlanta-area gas-
tropub void. Fourteen
years later, it is the #2
rated beer bar in the world according to
Beer Advocate magazine and a Forbes
Traveler top ten bar. And for good reason
– the Brick Store has a Belgian bar up-
stairs and a large regular bar downstairs
with 25 taps, 185 bottles, and the occa-
sional cask tapping. The Brick Store has
added to the empire within the last few
years by constructing two cellars - one
upstairs in the Belgian bar, and another
downstairs in an old bank vault. The vin-
tage program has taken years of planning
and a substantial investment in rare and
limited edition beers. This has inflated
the pub’s beer list to 500 different offer-
ings, with prices ranging from as little
as $7 or $8 for a 12-ounce bottle of
American craft beer up to $300 for a 6-
liter bottle of Belgian ale. Although the
pub offers an impressively large beer
menu, don’t expect to find Budweiser
or Coors, and certainly no “light” beer
of any kind. If you plan to spend the
better part of an evening here (or an
afternoon celebrating an exam with a
liquid lunch), you will need some suste-
nance, or at least need to engage your
beer munchies later on. With no menu
item exceeding $10, aside from Cornish
game hen, no graduate student can feel
too much guilt imbibing and dining at
the Brick Store. Although the menu has
changed a bit recently, most of the
crowd favorites have remained. If the
shepherd's daughter's pie, fish and
chips, or brat can’t please you, I will
apologize in person (and then ask,
what’s wrong with you?). Turkey burg-
ers are notoriously dry – not so at the

Santiago: I played bass for about seven
months in the band, until our drummer
had to move away unexpectedly. At that
time, I took his spot as the
band's drummer and did that
for about a year and a
half. Then this year, our lead
guitarist Erich ended up
having to move to Chicago.
We didn't have anyone in
mind to replace him on gui-
tar, but we had a friend that
was up for playing drums. I
knew Erich's parts, so we
decided to shuffle the lineup
around again.
Sara: How would you de-
scribe Gold-Bears’ sound?
Santiago: Oh hmm. I would
just say that we play fast-paced "indie
rock" that ranges from jangly to fuzzy.
Recommended if you like the song
“Holland, 1945” by Neutral Milk Hotel.
Sara: What venues have the Gold-Bears
played around town?
Santiago: Around Atlanta, we've played
529, Drunken Unicorn, Star Bar, and the
EARL.
Sara: How did you get in
touch with Slumberland Rec-
ords for your first album?
Santiago: While playing in
NYC in May 2010 for the
NYC Popfest, we caught the
attention of Slumberland
Records (home of The Pains
of Being Pure at Heart,
Weekend, Crystal Stilts,
Black Tambourine, etc.), and
got a deal to have them put
out our debut LP.
Sara: Wow! I’m familiar
with Slumberland Records,
and that’s really impressive!
