Weekdays: Beerthday Every Day (Almost)
For most of the week, Atlanta operates on a schedule that would make Dionysus himself proud. You can waltz into your favorite grocer, gas station with a decent selection (hey, we don't judge!), or package store and grab a beer between 7:00 am and 11:45 pm. That's right, folks, from practically sunrise to way past the time you should probably be calling it a night (but hey, we're not here to kink-shame your drinking habits).
However, there is a small caveat...
Sundays: A Song of Brunch and (Slightly Later) Beer
Ah, Sundays. A time for sleeping in, questionable brunches, and maybe even a touch of football (or Netflix, no judgement). But what about beer? Thankfully, Atlanta voters came to their senses and passed a law that allows you to snag a brew from 11:00 am to 11:30 pm on Sundays. So, yes, you can fuel your bottomless mimosas and still grab a six-pack for the game (responsibly, of course).
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
But what if you're feeling fancy and want to enjoy a beer at a restaurant?

On-Premise vs. Off-Premise: A Tale of Two Beers
The rules for buying beer to drink at a restaurant or bar are different from buying it to take home. Generally, bars and restaurants in Atlanta can serve alcohol from 11:00 am to 2:00 am, though some municipalities might have slightly different regulations.
Here's the key takeaway: On weekdays and Saturdays, you can grab beer to-go pretty much all day. On Sundays, you can party a little later at the bar, but your grocery store beer run has a slightly shorter window.
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
Alright, enough legalese, let's get to the good stuff!
