Old Fourth Distillery + Kitchen Opens at Atlanta Airport
A new dining and retail establishment by the name of the Old Fourth Distillery + Kitchen has commenced operations within Terminal E of the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. This venture results from a collaboration between Shortbarrel Bourbon, an Atlanta-based spirits company that acquired the distillery in 2023, and the hospitality firm Areas.
The new Old Fourth Distillery + Kitchen location provides a full-service restaurant offering a menu of Southern-inspired dishes, some of which incorporate the distillery's own spirits, alongside a bar serving cocktails made with its portfolio of locally produced liquors. A retail section is also available for travelers to purchase bottles.
The Old Fourth Distillery + Kitchen concept at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is designed to offer an authentic representation of Atlanta's local culture and craft beverage scene to a transient global audience.
