This is how a speakeasy is done, folks! It’s cool, it’s dark, it’s quiet, and it’s impossible to find if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Taco Mac food with an amazing selection of rarer and lesser-known beers. Bonus: big bellied middle-aged guys who are«chancellors», which means they’ve tried 1000+ beers at taco Mac. I spent my afternoon with a few quintuple chancellors; these guys have the coolest stories. If you’re looking to hook up with Miller-light drinking twenty-somethings, this ain’t for you. If you want to relax with great beer and good convo, this is the perfect spot.

The last stop on a late night visit to Atlanta to visit and hang out with friends. I don’t think I would ever have found or thought about this place without them. The doorway and entranceway looks very much like the entryway to a utility basement. The fries we ordered were a good end of night snack and the atmosphere was very laid back and chill. I’d go again.

Great service and great craft beer selection. If Brian is there you are in great shape. Incredible bourbon recommendations and Brian makes an incredible Old fashioned. Try it with the 10 year Bulleitt. You’re Welcome.

They let a guy in his baseball cap, flip flops and USA soccer tank top and a LeBron James wristband. Let’s just say it’s not a classy place as described. They are out of more than half the beers they have on the menu. The manager is sitting at a booth taking up space with his friends.

By far the best wings on the north side. Im enjoying the customer service the waitresses are great! I most definitely will be back more than twice! Even though its a shared kitchen, there is a huge difference in quality and taste between the two. Im a huge fan of this little secret corner of Atlanta.

Who knew that Taco Mac’s have speakeasy like rooms at select locations? This one is outside, around the corner, underneath the Taco Mac. You ring the door bell and someone lets you. Interesting room. Pretty large with lots of lounge areas. Select beers and select cocktails. Small Food menu but the bartender said we could order anything from upstairs. The place was empty but it was after 11 pm on a Wednesday night. They stay open until 2 am. Very chill place. I am going to check out the one in my hometown.

Wow, can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this place yet. I hate some of these speakeasies where you have to say something stupid and ask someone for some stupid code and enter something into some device to get in. And then you have to go through some kitchen and ask for Jackie and pull the arm of some statue and then go through the cooler and pray that you are in the right place. I have this fear of rejection and that’s too many steps where someone can tell me «what the hell are you talking about?» or «get outta here.» My first venture into the GA Chapter Room began with me and a friend upstairs at the hostess stand at Taco Mac. I asked where it was but it was loud so the hostess asked me where it was or what it was. Well-played hostess. I asked where and she told us to go down the sidewalk and look for a door with a monkey. So we headed down and couldn’t find the place. But just at the right time my friend looked back and saw some door on it with what looked like an ornate monkey logo. Bam! Basically it’s directly under TMac and there is a walkway off the sidewalk to get to the door. We went there, pressed the red button and we were ushered into a magical land. I’ve been there a few times now and there is a light menu. Same wings as TMac but the fries are thicker cut and better. Don’t say you heard it from me but once we were there for a while and told the manager we had to head upstairs to get more food. Basically he let us order whatever we wanted off the TMac menu and they brought it downstairs. Score. That’s service. They have a rotating selection of uncommon/rare beers on tap plus a nice selection of equally excellent bottled beers. Lots of high gravity stuff. Of course the curry tasting beer was a bit overspiced for me but the selection is good nonetheless. Last week we had the Aventinus 2006 which is not an easy find. It was fantastic. Jeremy(the manager?) talked with us for a while and educated us on their beer selection. The staff is nice, the atmosphere is great, it’s dark-ish, reasonably clean, a few TVs with college/pro games on but not too loud(games usually on mute with music playing) and a great hangout. You can sit at the bar or some tables or some even larger cushioned areas. If you want to hang out at a fantastic spot with some delicious beers, this is the place.

I found this place through word of mouth from a fellow coworker. All I have to say is «Wow»! Amazing selection of Beers, comfortable atmosphere, great looking bar tenders, and most importantly great service. This will be a place I will take friends and family every time I entertain them from out of town.

Love this little speakeasy. Been coming here since it was called The Fred. Great place to hang out and try out unique beers not found anywhere else. Also, great novelty to bring someone here for their first time because it is so hidden.

This is a special place to me because the bar is hidden from everywhere else, and the folks that work there are top notch! I love the beer selection, even though it can be a bit over priced… but as they say, you get what you pay for. This is not a place you go to watch sports, even though there are two tvs there with sports usually on. This is a place to go and chill and enjoy your company and the libations/food. The flatbreads are very delicious and the wings from Taco Mac can be ordered here which is always a plus. I frequent here quite regularly and do not see that changing any time soon! Service is excellent The environment is excellent The food is stellar The beer selection that is always rotating it phenomenal And who doesn’t love a menu that is on an ipad? Cheers,

Cool place, if you can find it. Hint — look for the red button on the wall. Great selection of European and local craft beers. Loved their flat breads. Nice ambiance. Go and check it out…

The five cheese blue crab dip was amazing. We followed it up by a few beers. I had the left hand nitro milk and was not disappointed. The atmosphere is cool. Lights are dimmed but adds to this little hidden place under the taco mac. We finished up with the pepperoni flatbread. It was delicious. I don’t know if this comes from the same kitchen as t. mac but this is above and beyond for food and drink. Service was excellent also! Ciarra was attentive and funny, all while making great recommendations.

Best place to unwind after a stressful day. The music is always chill, the bar company is always great for conversation. Beer selection keeps me finding something new to love. The Pepperoni flatbread is my favorite. I love the bartenders Meredith, Brittany and Summer. Just thumbs up all round!

Perfect intimate club atmosphere — music isn’t too loud, it’s never too crowded, and the servers know their beer. Awesome place to hang out with friends and enjoy craft beer.

What was once the«Fred» is now called«The GA Chapter Room». I know Taco Mac has expanded all over the Southeast– not exactly sure to what extent. To all of you out of the know, the Chapter Room is a «hidden» spot underneath the Taco Mac at the Prado, a place for ranking Brewniversity members to enjoy rare/special alcoholic beverages in a dimly lit, private cave. The good news if you like The Fred, everything is the same– voluptuous servers wearing black tank tops, same décor, iPads for menus, and the same food concept. However, Fred’s Secret Stash is now called«Bobb’s Secret Stash». Not sure who Bobb is– give me a break, I have been out of town for a while. I will still always call it the Fred– as I have celebrated many a birthdays here– lots of great memories(that I have hard times remembering). I would suggest sitting at the beer if you want the quickest service, or if you are an alcoholic. Let’s be honest, if you are here, you are an alcoholic(and by no means am I judging). Also, be weary of weak cell signals and don’t do anything illegal on their WIFI– not that I was trying…
