How we made this list
We looked at 24 restaurants in Downtown, Macon GA with a Google rating of 4.0 or higher and at least 20 reviews, then listed on Google as “Alcohol”, then by rating. A rating from thousands of reviews counts for more than the same rating from a handful, so a new place with a few perfect scores does not jump the queue. Ratings and hours are from public Google listings on 11 October 2026 and can change. Nobody paid to be on this list.
Tips before you go
- ThaiSmile Macon, Piedmont Brewery and Kitchen and Oliver's Corner Bistro take reservations, useful on weekend evenings.
- Hours and prices come from Google listings and change, so check the listing before a long trip.
