Since our opening in 1996, Twain's has grown right along with Decatur, with a laid back atmosphere for friends to gather and have fun while enjoying excellent food and great beer. In 2006 we added a 7-barrel brew house and expanded our kitchen. We have focused our efforts on delicious house ales while continuing to support Georgian and American Craft beers and spirits. Twain's is committed to the use of local and sustainably produced ingredients in our kitchen. We are proud to be a part of the Decatur community, providing a comfortable place for folks to relax, laugh, and play.
