A new brewing and dining concept has entered the pipeline along an Atlanta BeltLine corridor that’s scheduled to see construction soon.

Representatives for Monday Night Brewing have submitted plans to the city for an adaptive-reuse project that would remake an old storage building at 1500 Northside Drive—a stone’s throw from the brewery’s original location on Trabert Avenue, near the Atlanta Waterworks complex in Berkeley Park.

The building also overlooks one of five segments of the BeltLine’s Northwest Trail, an arc of multipurpose pathways that will link the Westside to Buckhead.

Monday Night Brewing’s plans call for converting the metal building—previously used as a storage warehouse and still zoned for industrial purposes—into a brewery and pizza kitchen, per a Special Administrative Permit filing.

Renderings describe the back portion of the building as “The Grove.”

Plans call for adding a new storefront, overhead doors at openings, an exterior canopy, and a new roof. Minor demolition will create openings in exterior walls, interior partitions, and roof panels, per the SAP filing.

Exterior changes would see new access pathways built to the BeltLine and hardscaped areas for an outdoor patio.

The BeltLine section in question—Segment 3 of the Northwest Trail—will eventually span 1.2 miles and cross beneath Interstate 75 at Tanyard Creek. The BeltLine is permitting the small section of trail between Trabert Avenue (near Monday Night Brewing’s current facility) and Northside Drive, in hopes that construction can begin there as early as this month.

Designs for the rest of Segment 3 are scheduled to be 60 percent finished by May, with Astra Group contracted to help with construction scheduling, budgeting, and other logistics.

We’ve reached out to Monday Night Brewing reps for information on the project’s size and potential timeline for opening. This story will be updated with any further details that come.
