The recently unveiled Westside Trail Segment 4 won’t be the Beltline’s only new trail debut this summer.
A section of the Beltline’s Northwest Trail a few blocks from Atlantic Station is set to officially open in coming weeks, coinciding with the grand opening of Monday Night Brewery’s The Grove project.
The Grove, an adaptive-reuse taproom and leafy outdoor space, is situated along a poured, relatively short section of Northwest Trail Segment 3 that extends west from Northside Drive to Trabert Avenue, near Atlanta Waterworks. It's not yet connected to other finish Beltline pieces.
Monday Night Brewing, founded in 2011, got its start in a formerly abandoned warehouse on dead-end Trabert Avenue that’s now adjacent to The Grove. The original taproom will be kept for private events and expanding beer production.
An opening celebration for both the Beltline and The Grove will take place sometime in August, according to brewery heads.

Live music and other events, a communal hangout space, food offerings, and a fresh slate of beverage options is on tap for The Grove. The Berkeley Park building was previously used as a storage warehouse, according to 2024 filings.
The adjacent Beltline section in question will eventually span 1.2 miles, starting near Monday Night Brewing’s original location and crossing under Interstate 75 at Tanyard Creek. According to Beltline officials, design work on Segment 3 is finished, permitting is in progress, and a construction manager has been hired to help map out scheduling, budgeting, and construction logistics.
Joel Iverson, Monday Night Brewing cofounder, said The Grove aims to create “an everyday experience” where guests can “connect with friends, meet new people, and enjoy fresh beer, great food, and good vibes,” according to an announcement. Along with its two Atlanta locations (another Beltline-adjacent brewery operates at the Lee + White district), Monday Night Brewing has outposts in Birmingham, Knoxville, Nashville, and Charlotte.
A hiring fair for the new Atlanta hub is planned next month.

Key features of The Grove will include: 17,000 square feet of outdoor communal space (beneath 62 preserved and freshly planted native trees) with multiple fire pits; a 7,400-square-foot taproom with seasonal cocktails; an outdoor amphitheater for community gatherings and live music; two Italian-built ovens for house-made pizzas; a 20-foot outdoor LED TV screen on a hillside; and 30 taps for the largest offering of beers at any Monday Night Brewing location.
A new morning setup (think: coffee, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches) will also be offered.
For patrons not arriving by Beltline, Monday Night Brewing reps say three different lots will provide ample free parking.
