Decatur Pub and Grub
- Michelle Hall

A favorite neighborhood for Atlanta beer-snobs and foodies, Decatur was named one of the top 10 "Tastiest Towns in the South" according to Southern Living magazine. Join other conference attendees for beverages and casual fare at one of the many Decatur pubs worth visiting.
We will meet in the lobby of the Peachtree Westin at 6:15pm on Tuesday evening and then travel to Decatur as a large group via MARTA. Please have your fare cards loaded with a round trip ticket ($5) in advance so we can get to the fun even faster! Upon arrival at the Decatur Square, the group leaders will assist the small groups in locating their pub of choice. Participants will sign up for a particular pub here: (link to wiki) or at the registration table all day Monday, or Tuesday until 1:30 pm.
Signups for this event can be found on this page.
