Branch and Barrel at Alpharetta’s the Avalon has one of metro Atlanta’s best combinations of a chef-forward menu and incredible bourbon. Whether it’s the braised beef brisket, braised baby back ribs, or buttermilk fried chicken sandwich, each dish has incredibly fresh ingredients and the whole menu is filled with the comfort-food classics just like grandma used to make them. Dig in to the deep bourbon selection where they make their own bitters, shrubs and fixings – if it goes in the cocktail, they’re making it themselves.
