The Wine Program

Atlanta's first dedicated natural wine bar, opened by the team behind Finca to Filter coffee. Wine consultant Jett Kolarik keeps the list tight and personal: roughly four reds, three whites, one orange, and two sparkling wines by the glass, plus 10 to 15 bottles. Everything poured is from producers they know personally. Small-batch, sustainable, low-intervention. Expect pet-nats, orange wines, funky skin-contact whites, and offbeat sparklers you will not find anywhere else in town.

The Setting

The 10,000-square-foot shared patio on the BeltLine, strung with fairy lights, is one of the best outdoor drinking spots in the city. The food menu is surprisingly hearty: sandwiches, grazing boards, dips, desserts. Weekend brunch is available. The whole operation feels like the wine world's answer to a neighborhood coffee shop.

Why Wild Card

A tight, personal, all-natural wine program on the BeltLine with a massive patio is a format nobody else in Atlanta is running. If you want to discover what natural wine actually tastes like without the pretense, Side Saddle is the most welcoming entry point in the city.

🎲 The Bottom Line

Side Saddle is Atlanta's natural wine gateway. Tight personal list, all low-intervention, and the best patio on the BeltLine. If pet-nats and orange wines are your thing, or if you want them to be, start here.
