Boxcar operates inside Hop City's West End location, pairing the shop's craft beer and wine selection with cocktails and a food menu in a refurbished warehouse space. The menu changes frequently based on seasonal produce and whatever beers and wines the team is excited about at the time.
Kraig Torres owns the restaurant, with Troy LaRose running the kitchen as executive chef. Boxcar is part of the Hop City Craft Beer & Wine group, which started in West Midtown in 2009 and has grown to include locations in Birmingham, Inman Park, and Fayetteville, along with sister restaurant Barleygarden Kitchen & Craft Bar.
The space sits just steps from the Atlanta Beltline, and the restaurant leans into that transient, cross-country spirit — its mural depicts Leon Ray Livingston, known as "The Rambler," a chronicler of early 20th-century hobo life. Regulars point to attentive service, a strong beer selection, and an upbeat atmosphere as reasons to keep coming back.
