Marietta
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Marietta, Georgia
Marietta's historic town square, anchored by the giant Big Chicken landmark that's guided locals for decades, sits at the center of one of metro Atlanta's most active suburban bar scenes - BarFinder lists 134 venues here, led by sports bars and classic bars, with a deep bench of lounges, pubs, and breweries. Real local spots like Marlow's Tavern and McCray's Tavern anchor the square, while Atlanta Hard Cider & Distillery adds a craft-spirits option. The city's Civil War history (it sat along Sherman's Atlanta campaign route) runs underneath a genuinely lively modern scene.
