Come this weekend, a Ponce City Market retail space fronting the Atlanta BeltLine's most popular trail will finally have a permanent tenant. Three Taverns Ponce Brew Terminal opens Saturday with a front-row seat to the Eastside Trail.
The business has claimed retail space at the base of the 21-story Signal House apartment tower, which marked Ponce City Market's first new-construction standalone building when it opened two years ago. The 680 North Ave. retail space was completed a decade ago but has never had a tenant that fully capitalized on its BeltLine visibility and large patio area.
The concept from Three Taverns Craft Brewery will feature a full kitchen from Atlanta-based DAS BBQ, which operates locations on Collier Road and Memorial Drive in Grant Park. Award-winning Three Taverns, founded in 2013, operates two other ITP locations: the original Decatur brewery and The Imaginarium in Reynoldstown, which opened in 2020 with a focus on experimental concoctions.
For BeltLine regulars, this fills a gap that's been obvious for years: prime trail-adjacent retail that actually serves the people walking and biking by.
