If you go to college, chances are you’ve had a beer or two in your day. However, there is a new dilemma I’ve recently discovered since turning 21; some places just don’t have a lot to choose from when it comes to beer.
Taco Mac, however, does not have this issue. Walking into Taco Mac, your eyes automatically shift towards that shiny wall surrounded by neon signs containing around a hundred beautiful taps and two hundred bottled varieties displayed behind the bar. But that’s not all that catches your eye.
On just about every sign-covered wall, you’ll find a variety of sports games on huge flat-screen televisions that could entertain any sports fan. Along with the incredibly large variety of beer and alcohol, the ambiance is very welcoming and family-friendly and your wallet won’t hate you when you leave.
The service is great and personable, and their menu has never disappointed me, personally. This isn’t just some bar where you must be 21 to enjoy yourself. It is appealing to everybody.
“They have fantastic food and we can always watch whatever game is on that night! Great place for friends to go eat!” sophomore Lauren Baxter said.
However, when you do turn 21, the fun starts with Taco Mac. This Atlanta-based restaurant has given beer connoisseurs some incentive to buy their beer. You may find cheap college beer there, probably gathering dust because why drink that when you can choose anything from pale ales to IPA’s and lagers all the way to the darker, heartier stouts.
In addition to the ridiculous choice of brew you want, you can join what is called Taco Mac’s “Brewniversity”. You are issued your own card, which allows you to keep track of what beers you’ve bought. You can also see where you rank amongst the others around you and after 13 beers you receive their famous grey “pledge” shirt.
If you come in Thursday evenings and buy one of their beers of the month, you also get a free beer glass. Asking students around campus why Taco Mac would be considered to be the best place for beer, they all bring up the variety that Taco Mac has to offer.
“You can’t find a bigger selection at a better price anywhere else,” junior Joey Sabbagh said.
Plain and simple, Taco Mac has an incredible variety of beer, not to mention all of the other mixed drinks they offer for those who don’t appreciate the taste of beer. Their service is great and they provide incentives to Brewniversity members.
If you’re 21 and haven’t experienced Taco Mac, I’d advise you to put this paper down and go try it.
