    Irish coffee Western omelette
    Anna J.

    A friend suggested that after we went on a run in the Beltline and I honestly had no clue all of this existed behind O4W park honestly and this is such a cute little spot. We got there right at 10 when they opened on a Saturday morning and the staff was super great and patience with us and let us pick a table outside. Our waitress was quick and we got some drinks to start. I opted for an iced Irish coffee which was delicious definitely could taste the whiskey. For brunch I got the western omelette with hash. The omelette was great and it came with some toast and it was delicious. Also shared a side of sweet potato fries and they were phenomenal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cute spot for brunch![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    All around great atmosphere and service! Great wings and perhaps the best chicken sandwich I've ever had!!

    Bakey cakey on the right

    Caesar salad and fries are a staple, and the burger is so good. But the star of the show is the brunch menu's bakey cakey breakfast (huge plate sized pancake with breakfast sausage, bacon, or vegetarian breakfast sausage baked in). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Patio is a great vibe summer or winter -- its sealed and has heaters.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great casual spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Some Friends and I walked over from another nearby bar. We passed their patio and grabbed one of the tables outside. Our server came by right away to check in on us. We quickly reviewed the menu. They had a pretty good selection of beers, between their draft, bottle and can offerings. I opted for a Creature Comforts Tropicalia while some of my friends decided to order some food with their beers. Their orders included Mac and Cheese with added grilled chicken and the Avocado Beet Salad. The food and beers came out quickly and the food looked very good. My friends started digging in and had zero complaints. I hung around for a couple of rounds and then headed out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place had a relaxed, quirky, dive-bar feel to it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was friendly and attentive. I'd definitely come back and try some of their menu items. I also learned it is very close to the Beltline, which is an added bonus. 3.5 Rating

    We stopped into bantam pub for lunch and it was delicious! The food was terrific and well priced. The only reason for the 4 stars was the bartender/ server was a little off but other than that it was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Would definitely go back to this cute little place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Chicken Cesar salad
    Marni M.

    My friends and I came here before attending a festival 7 min walk away. A lot of people had the same thought process as it was already almost at max capacity by the time we arrived on a Saturday afternoon. We got to share their large pretzel and sweet potato fries. The pretzel was huge, fluffy and chewy. My pretzel craving was satisfied especially with the queso dip. Fries were crisp, sweet, and salty! For entrees we tried their Carnitas tacos, Chicken Cesar salad, Angus burger, and Lamb burger. Everyone was happy with their choices since everything was prepared and seasoned well. The tacos I had were only two but they were pretty jam packed. Overall, we had a good experience. Service was slow but that was because they were very busy and barely staffed. Would come again if in the area!

    Mac and cheese

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been here a few times and always have a great time-- ideal for casual, late night drinks where you want to sit and talk or a post-work dinner with friends on their patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their food was solid and the service is always great. I wish they had pitchers but that's a minor concern.

    Chicken Sandwich
    Megha D.

    This is such an underrated spot!! I was meeting a friend for a late lunch and they suggested this place which I'd never heard of. Parking wise, there's a small lot behind or you can find free street parking nearby. It's seat yourself inside and our server was super attentive and friendly, checking in on us consistently. I just had a Tropicalia, but they had lots of interesting beers on tap which I appreciated. I loved how varied the menu was too! I got the Bantam Chicken Sandwich, and my friend got the Lamb Burger. The chicken sandwich was PHENOMENAL. I LOVED the jalapeno aioli that was on it and the chicken was super tender and juicy. The sweet potato fries I subbed in were also perfectly crunchy. I also tried a bite of the lamb burger and that was also delicious. Overall, very casual and easy spot for lunch and can't wait to go back!!

    Fried chicken plate with mashed potatoes and cream corn
    Ashley K.

    First time here and the service was a bit underwhelming due to them being short staffed. There's free street parking and we sat outside. At first the bar tender said she was the only one and I had to go in to place my order as she was bringing other peoples food out and checking in them. I waited for my friend and went in and out and she was busy. Luckily, a Spanish only speaking buswoman was very kind and checked in on me periodically while I waited and again when my friend arrived and started us with water. I asked the last to take our order when she came back out to bring the other table some stuff and she did. Based on her recommendation I had the arugula salad, add salmon and it was good. My friend enjoyed her fried chicken but didn't eat the corn and only a few bites of the potatoes. Food came out hot and fresh. The fries were delicious too! Def a good spot to get some fries ($5). I asked for extra ketchup and got ketchup packets which was odd to me since it didn't come that way. I can't remember how much we spent in total but the food was good. It's a bit out of my way so can't say I'd return any time soon. Oh, the outdoor seating area has fl idling fans which is nice. The inside was a little too packed due to legs parties.

    Update: went to brunch to my old faithful spot. Can't go wrong with a the frittata and shrimp and grits. So good! Service is always good and the suave is relaxing and easy.

    Lamb burger (feta cheese and fried onions)
    Seema Z.

    I had been to this bar many years ago and this was me Coming back after 5 years. It still has the old half a decade ago ATL vibe, Lots of character and neighborhood dive bar feel Rigjt next to beltline. They have 7-8 draft selections of local beer including guiness !! We went for dinner and tried the bantam burger and lamb burger. The lamb was definitely more flavorful but the bantam burger had a healthy serving of mushrooms and brie cheese. The fries are awesome too!Definitely try this spot out and I'll try to come back for brunch

I was impressed by the…read moreplace, but after a couple of beers and an appetizer we were given instructions to evacuate the restaurant due to a kitchen fire. The next time in 2024 when I was in the area, they were closed for a remodel. Today was the day. The beer selection was fantastic and so was the food. I got the pork sandwich with greens on top. It was delicious, but it could've not had juices leaking so much? Maybe cheese below and above the meat to try to keep some of the juices off the bun or maybe more bun toasting? The fries were amazing and I should've gotten the aolie initially, but didn't get it until I saw another table with an order. It was delicious. The service was very good. The server had good knowledge of the beers, food, and was friendly. This is one of the best beer bars in the US. The Atlanta area is fortunate to have two killer beer bars, the other being the Brick Store Pub in Decatur.

    The food was okay overall. The first time I went, I really enjoyed it, but the second visit was…read morelater at night, so it may have just been an off day. The pretzels were burnt, the schnitzel was overfried, and the fish was a bit greasy. The deviled eggs were fine, but nothing particularly memorable. That said, aesthetically it is a great place with beautiful old architecture, solid service, and an amazing beer list.

When we received our food, we nearly gasped at the size of the cornbread because we weren't fully expecting a generous amount. The cornbread was perfectly cooked and was so delicious. We didn't taste any honey though (it tasted like salted butter), which was a shame since we love honey butter, but it still paired well with the cornbread. The gnocchi was insanely good! The gnocchi was cooked well, the rabbit was super tender and seasoned well, and I was surprised by how well the aged balsamic pulled the dish together. I highly recommend this dish. I saw other dishes that were served to other tables that had me salivating too, so I can't wait to go back and try more dishes. We sat at the bar to eat, and the bartenders were all super sweet and funny. This is a must-try spot!

    I'm thrilled to share that I finally stopped by Brick Store Pub last Friday! I've visited Downtown…read moreDecatur Square countless times and walked past this spot over and over but this time, I got lucky and made it in for a drink. Brick Store Pub is an incredible place. The staff are fantastic, personable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. They really know their craft and are happy to share recommendations on both drinks and food. The ambiance adds so much to the experience, I recommend you to come and relax on the patio or grab a seat at the bar. There's such a great vibe all around that makes you want to stay awhile. If you're in the area, definitely stop by, you'll enjoy every bit of the atmosphere that Brick Store has been giving all this time. I will be back!

Was meeting friends for…read morelunch and tried to call to make a reservation since there were 6 of us for a Saturday and there was going to be a music festival that afternoon. Got a text back saying they don't take reservations, it's first come, first serve, but they would do what they could to accomodate us. 4 of us were seated and we had 2 more coming before we wanted to order. The wait staff was attentive, making sure we had our beverages and if we needed anything before the 2 arrived. Once they arrived, the staff gave us a few minutes to make sure the 2 had a chance to look at the menus. We ordered appetizers to start...corn bread, sage fried pierogies and poutine. We weren't sure about the poutine because we didn't see any gravy, we did see the cheese curds on the fries, but once we finally dug in, the gravy was at the bottom. The pierogies were tasty. We asked if they could cut the cornbread so each of us could get a taste, which they did. Corn bread had a toasted texture, and the honey butter was delicious! Everyone ordered something different. One had fish and chips, which would seem to be a likely order for a pub. Their special for the day was a ruben. Another ordered a falafel sandwich, and I think 2 salmon BLT's and then one salad with rainbow trout. Portions were not overwhelming, but we realized that we were full from the appetizers and almost everyone ended up taking most of their main choices in doggie bags (boxes). As time got closer to the festival to start, it did get crowded, but the staff handled the influx of people and people were seated relatively quickly. This was a nice destination as most of the group live a drive from Decatur. Lovely afternoon visit!
