Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall is a vibrant spot in Atlanta where a campfire vibe meets tasty bites, local brews, and a lively atmosphere perfect for gatherings.
"If you walk the Eastside Beltline near Krog Street Market, you'll notice Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall over there looking like an adult summer camp. Yellow umbrella-topped picnic tables, firepits, and even a beer-serving Airstream dot the expansive landscape. All the leashed pooches and flashy sunglasses only add to the backyard’s easygoing feel. And since the scene couldn't be any campier if you had on a retainer and tube socks, you won’t regret ordering the juicy double burger or a hot dog smothered in a cheesy chili. Nor should you have any reservations about sipping your Patio Punch, a rum-powered take on a Capri Sun pouch." - nina reeder, demarco williams, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"Located off the Eastside Beltline trail by Krog Street Market, Ladybird includes an expansive outdoor seating area with a camper bar for al fresco drinking and fire pits, where pups are welcome. Go here for trail-style snacks, beers on draft, and easy cocktails. The third annual Ranch Water Rodeo will be held on Sunday, April 27, at noon. Expect live music, a mechanical bull, and build-your-own Ranch Water stations from Pubelo Viejo Tequila and Fever Tree. This event is free to attend. A new Ladybird location is expected to open in West Midtown." - Henna Bakshi
"Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall is a popular restaurant known for its camping vibes, boozy drinks, dog-friendly patio, and trail snacks-style food for lunch, dinner, and brunch." - Henna Bakshi
"For a BeltLine break, few spots are more classic than this one, whose pet-friendly, campsite-inspired “grove” provides welcome respite from the trail. Brunch — a famously three-day opportunity here — as well as lunch and dinner are delivered to communal tables and deck chairs, and local beer and great cocktails, too. The spot is casual, but dress your dog to impress. They often feature their favorite four-legged guests on their ‘Gram." - Su-Jit Lin
"Ladybird offers a collection of branded matchbooks, capturing the spirit of the restaurant in small take-home collectibles." - Avery Centrella
