GREAT ESCAPES

Our guide to Marietta, GA

“Marietta” by Craig Stanley | Photo by 6AM City

While a weekend inside the perimeter of Atlanta, GA has its allure, we invite you to venture outside the perimeter to Marietta, GA — a town steeped in history and charm.

Drink: Sip on a “Can I Get a Witness” Belgian wit beer at Glover Park Brewery, which topped Eater Atlanta’s list of 35 Atlanta Breweries and Brewpubs to Grab a Pint Today. If you see owners Hank or Sam, tell them I say hello.
Watch: Catch a play, musical, or concert at the Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre, which got its start as a major motion picture house in 1935.
Vrbo: Cheery Cottage with Farm, just four blocks away from the Marietta Square. (~$80/night)*
