I'm thrilled to share that I finally stopped by Brick Store Pub last Friday! I've visited Downtown Decatur 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! read more

Been a long time since I'd been to the Brick Store Pub, maybe pre Covid? Was meeting friends for lunch 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! read more

I was recommended this pub by so many people. I was in DT Decatur with some friends, my wife, and brother after my birthday dinner, and wanted a place to go, to continue the fun. Brick Store was literally not even 100 feet from where we went for dinner, Iberian Pig. We went upstairs to have a drink. The vibes are super cool inside this pub! In my opinion, this might be one of the best beer pubs that I have ever been to. The upstairs feels very rustic and almost like you're in a castle of some sort. In true fashion, of course I got a glass of Guinness. It was perfect! Our server was super friendly and very attentive. She even provided some suggestions based on what the others were looking for. Her name was Olivia! Brick Store also has a full food menu too, but we just came for drinks. The food menu is tradiitonal pub type food, so fish and chips, chicken pot pie, etc. It honestly looked really good! I will definitely be back here in the future!! read more

This pub was a pleasant surprise! Me and my family came here on a whim on one of the coldest days in Atlanta and enjoyed ourselves very much. The Alfredo was excellent. The cornbread and butter was amazing. The drinks were well mixed and the kids menu had great choices for the little ones. The prices were reasonable, which was a plus. The only thing that I can say That I wish was better was that we weren't offered a highchair, and didn't find out that they had them until the very end of our meal. This restaurant is located in downtown Decatur so be mindful that you will have to pay for parking and that can be a short or long walk to the restaurant depending on how busy the area is. There are tons of little shops nearby that you can stop in and grab a few goodies so it made for a wonderful Sunday afternoon. read more

I love coming to Brick Store. It is an Irish pub but it's broken into 3 seating spots: when you walk in, it opens to a more classic restaurant with tables to eat at and a bar, upstairs is a classic pub, and outside is a beer garden. They have the largest selection of beers, including a huge variety of international options, that I've seen at a pub in Atlanta. They have classic bar/pub food as well. The workers are always extremely kind, knowledgeable, and attentive even on busy days. read more

We were in Decatur during the World Cup. The resturaunt had a lot of specials and outdoor viewing areas for the games. The waiters in this place are so attentive. You never have an empty glass, water, beer or otherwise, no matter how busy they are. The beer list is massive, pages and pages, but the servers and bartenders are so knowledgeable about everything on the list and will make recommendations if you are overwhelmed. We did not eat a lot of food, but we did nibble on some fries with sauces, and they were delicious. Lots of people around us ordered food, and it looked delicious. In the South, it's hot in the summer, and the inside is cool and dark, so a perfect refuge from the summer heat. read more

This place is a true gem! Such an authentic atmosphere. Great selection of food and drinks. Service was outstanding even during FIFA World Cup games. Thanks for a great experience! read more

It's been 15 years since I last reviewed the Brick Store Pub and since I met some friends here yesterday I thought I'd freshen up the review a bit. It's still in the same place and it's still the best brewpub in Atlanta for many reasons. Included are the ambiance, the great beer selection and the pub-style food. I arrived on a Sunday afternoon around 1:30 - the parking (very limited on the square) was full but anticipated (still have to give it a go, right?). Anyway on Sunday the street parking is unmetered (for kicks I tried to pay and the app wouldn't give me a viable time segment). I also tried an outdoor lot directly behind the MARTA station but demurred when it gave me a $23 for 3 hours bill. Much easier to just walk three blocks rather than 2, no? I went upstairs to the Cellar (yes, I know) and met my friend Ken and his cousin Carl (in town for a show at Eddie's Attic). We sat at the bar upstairs and you're basically served by the taproom peeps (who schlep food upstairs from the kitchen). I had a couple of the cask offerings (if you're not in the know, cask pools have the beer stored in firkins or similar that have been injected with yeast to produce the carbonation instead of relying on CO2 tanks - it makes the beer more natural tasting and a real treat): *Bluejacket - Dead End Street - Brown Ale - English 4.5% ABV - Easy drinking sweet malty brown ale with creamy body and bready caramel notes. 4.1/5 * Edmund's Oast Brewing Co. - The Dark Stuff (cask) - Stout - Oatmeal 4.7% ABV - Tasty easy drinking stout, think US Guinness with finess. Sweet oatmeal malts finishing bitter with notes of cocoa, coffee and great lacing. 4.2/5 My friends were going for a later dinner so I ordered the BBQ Sampler for lunch. This included a pile of pulled pork and a slab of brisket with some BBQ sauces, vinegar and a pile of cubed roasted sweet potatoes. The pork was excellent, good smoky flavor and moist. The brisket (covered on BBQ sauce) was inferior - had over an inch of fat-cap, no smoky flavor and of course the fat wasn't rendered down (aka bad BBQ). Not sure what they were thinking on the brisket. I did link the pickled onions and Texas toast. Service was excellent with taproom staff coming by frequently to make sure our classes were kept filled. Food took a while once ordered but as I recall from the past, this is typical. Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Beer 5/5 Food 3/5 (dinged the "brisket") read more

Five stars for an outstanding an unique pub/restaurant! I'm visiting the Atlanta area from Florida, staying in Decatur and was looking for some late night food and a beer. This place checked all the boxes. The bartenders were extremely friendly and accommodating, the food was outstanding, and they have quite a selection of beers I've never heard of, which was amazing to try some of the ones that I can't even pronounce! I would definitely return and maybe will do so on this trip! read more

Came to brick store with some friends and it'll definitely be a go to in downtown Decatur now! The inside is super cozy. Didn't get to see much of the back half of the restaurant since we had a corner booth right at the front of the store, but it was pretty private so that was nice. We shared cornbread and wings for apps and then I had the bbq platter while my fiance had the fish and chips. Even though brick store isn't a bbq restaurant, I thought their bbq was on par to a lot of them around Atlanta. The pulled pork was delicious and the brisket was a good mix of lean and fatty parts. The maple pecan sweet potatoes were SO GOOD as the side too! The fish and chips were also amazing. I'm usually not a fried fish person but I loved how flaky the fish was here. Cornbread and wings were pretty standard - nothing super special but we really liked them! Overall will definitely be back here!! But just like most restaurants in Decatur, it can be a bit busy around dinner time. read more

The food was very good. The batter on the fish was amazing! The lamb stew had a sweetness to it. Best fish and chips I've ever had. Service was fast even though they were packed for St. Patrick's Day. We went for the corned beef and cabbage but it was sold out. We also got a black and tan, and the grapefruit cider. There are no girly drinks here lol! It was busy and loud but in a good way. The ambiance has a great vibe and everyone struck conversations with everyone. We will definitely be back. read more

The minute we walked in and sat down at a table with our friends, the owner came over and was so rude to us and unwelcoming, it's almost hard to believe. I will never go back here. read more

Went here for dinner on Friday. We got here right around 6 and just barely got a table without having to wait. It filled up quickly! We sat upstairs in one of the back rooms and I'm so glad we did because it was pretty loud in the rest of the restaurant. This is a super cool spot for a casual meal with friends! They have a great beer list and the food is great too. We got the brown butter sage pierogis, chicken salad melt, turkey sandwich and sides of Brussels sprouts! Everything was so good. We also got two oatmeal cream pies to go. They were really yummy, but be warned that the oatmeal cookies do have raisins! I liked it, but some may not. Definitely would recommend and will return to try more of their menu items! read more

Slightly pretentious. The food that we had was not made there just reheated(the pretzel among others). The beer selection was good, not great. I do like that they don't have a lot of the common beers. The ambiance is different than I've seen before. It was so dark inside it was hard to read the menu. It wants to be a mix of an English pub and an Irish bar but misses both. The service was good. That was the one good thing it had going for it. read more

Love the Brick Store Pub! I used to come here more than 20 years ago when I was in college (before yelp existed!). The Brick Store Pub continues to hold its charm and deliver tasty treats. I enjoyed the brunswick stew and giant pretzel. Looking forward to coming back for more chill and delicious evenings. read more

We frequent Brick Store Pub often, and every time we go the experience is great! Service is friendly and quick, the ambiance is very unique and open, and the food is amazing, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu!! I had the chicken alfredo last time, and it was absolutely delicious, highly recommend. I also had their falafel melt, fish and chips, chicken salad melt, trout, burger, sage fried pierogies, and chopped salad as the side everytime because it's THAT good. I sincerely recommend anything on the menu, and their Belgian beer is perfection!! I had their holiday menu drink my last visit, which was very tasty and sweet, I also really recommend trying it if you like sweet cocktail drinks. All in all, brick store pub is a 10/10 for me, and I definitely will be coming back some more :) read more

Love this overall feel of this place. The brick and wood makes the space feel rich and has an awesome pub vibe to it. The beer menu is insane. Lots of fun, unique beers you don't see around to often on tap. Food was just okay in my opinion. Definitely came in with higher expectations. Started with the Soft Pretzel. Pretzel was good, served warm and was very soft and easy to pull apart. Absolutely loved the mustard with it but the pimento was just okay. I went with the Pork Chop Sandwich. This is definitely not something I would usually order but I love pork chops and sandwiches so why not. Had a rosemary goat cheese spread that was very good. Chop was way too dry. We also had the Turkey Sandwich. Probably the best thing we had and would get that again. Server was nice. It was packed in there and he was slammed but came around frequently and had a good attitude. Would give this 3.5/5 honestly but definitely want to go back for more beers and give the food another shot IG: danny_runsforbeer read more

100. Our server Aidan was extremely helpful, courteous, and knew his way around the drink menu, to help us choose. And he understands how special this place is. You will too, go! Love the olde vibes, booths, food is consistently yummy and hits the table quickly. Try the rosemary buttered cornbread. Plentiful portions. Tasters, 6 oz. samples and flights to help you find your new favorite seasonal beer. Don't miss the seasonal cocktails. read more

Hubby and I have been planning to try this pub for a few months now and finally we're able to visit on this beautiful Saturday. They have a small patio area, but we decided to sit inside. The inside is decorated like a old pub lots of wood and brick. The hostesses were extremely friendly and nice when we arrived and our waiter was super helpful with suggestions. Have you got the steak plate (only available after 5pm). He was excited to try the steak because it was sous vide style. It was very good and we highly recommend. Sweet potatoes were delicious and the green beans were good, a little salty. I tried the fish and chips. Fish was a perfect flake with a wonderful breaded crust and the french fries were yummy as well. There is a homemade tartar sauce that is good as well. I prefer my fried fish with vinegar which they had as well. Definitely would get all of this again, but excited to try the chicken pot pie and the trout next time. Both looked delicious. I also got a house Margarita, but I will probably try something else next time. It was a little tart for me and very small for $12. Can't wait to go back and sit at the top or at the bar. read more

We were in town for work so two of us popped in here on a Wednesday night and sat at the bar. They have a decent selection of beer and are serious about their pours. We ordered the Brussels and pierogis as appetizers. The Brussels were just okay but I really enjoyed the pierogis especially with the sautéd onions. We also got the burger but added the pimento cheese. Having lived in South Carolina, I expected the pimento to be a bit more substantial. It was so melted that we thought they gave us the wrong cheese. The burger had great flavor and the fries were solid. The person who sat beside us got the pot pie and it looked delicious. If we come back, Will definitely revisit this place. They do have a couple tables outside on the sidewalk if it's a nice day and you're looking for that. read more

While searching for a quick meal on the square, my wife and I were recommended Brick Store Pub by a local security guard. It was a very good thing we listened. The food was very good if a bit pricey (expected for the area though). We started with the bitterballen which was alright on its own but when dipped in their house mustard was elevated to amazing. I think I would eat just about anything you dipped in that mustard to be honest. The mains were enjoyable as well. The porkchop sandwich was supposed to come on a chibatta roll but they were out. I chose to substitute rye bread and that was honestly my mistake. Still good just not as good as it could have been. My wifes fish and chips however, were a very well put together meal. The batter especially was well seasoned and flavorful with a great tarter sauce for dipping. We ate outside and the service was fast and accurate. If you are in that area, you should stop in there for a bite! read more

The parking lot is shared between the many other shops in the area and is very limited, and is pay by the hour. During busier times you may have to find parking further down the street. The pub itself has a very rustic feel to it and service was very friendly. l got the order of fish and chips, the fish was very flaky but the batter had an interesting turmeric flavor to it, very different from traditional fish and chips. The fries were just okay. Over all a fun place to grab a few drinks and a bite to eat with friends read more

Food, service, and atmosphere were all fantastic. Every flavor was absolutely spot on

I've been here many times before, but I think they've reached a new height - the trinity of food, service and atmosphere hit all the highs on my recent visit. The service was absolutely phenomenal, and the way the front of house team works together is so smooth and professional. I'd brought a friend visiting from overseas, and he said it was the best meal he had in the week of adventures around Atlanta. I'm so thrilled to have experienced such a flawless service with incredible, fresh food. We over-ordered on purpose, because there was just too much to choose from. It was a midweek lunch, and they were fairly busy but seated us quickly and our server gave great recommendations and details about each dish. While the pierogi are usually my favorite go-to dish, everything else outshone them to the point I may never choose to order them again. The salad was incredible - super fresh, well balanced and really tasty. The pickles veggies are also one of my favorite things, so I was happy they made an appearance on the charcuterie/cheese board. Nice work, team BSP - you're nailing it. read more

Service. Fish and chips was not particularly good, it was a bit dry. I loved the interior for a casual gathering.

Started with a pretzel It was good. I had the salmon sandwich with fries. The ciabatta bread was good. The sandwich was dry. Very dry. Either they forgot sauce or put little on it. My friend had a salad. Needed some cheese she thought Service was slow Over an hour and half for lunch. read more

It's not an exaggeration to call Brick Store one of the best beer pubs in America. Brick Store takes beer very seriously and will make the biggest beer snob feel like they've died and gone to Heaven. With curated selections of English, German, and Belgian beers complete with its own cellar, Brick Store is a must visit for any beer enthusiast in the Atlanta area (especially if you love Belgian beers). Being in the heart of downtown Decatur, there are quite a few good restaurants within walking distance of Brick Store, but don't sleep on the food here. You can't go wrong with their food menu, either. If you're there after 5, make sure to order the chicken pot pie. read more

We used to come here all the time and loved it. but...it's just not consistent anymore. There is an item on the menu that is my favorite sandwich of all time. the chicken sandwich. I would go here specifically for that item. it is SO GOOD! Then they removed it from the menu and only have it on Sundays. I'm not a brunch girl. I think Atl brunch culture has gotten a little out of control. I don't enjoy it. It's more complicated than it's worth. So with that in mind... We came in for the first time in 2 years and even called ahead the day before to make sure we would be able to get said sandwich. We literally come here specifically for this which was confirmed it was going to be available. Just got here and no sandwich. The servicer said "It's just not in the menu today" he didn't know why. He was really apologetic which I appreciated but still when you call ahead and make plans around something like...maybe have that item? If i sound salty,. this was the third time in a row since that this exact experience has happened since it has been moved to the Sunday only. It's not that this place is bad or the other items aren't good, they are. But they're just fine. Nothing else is really outstanding. Not worth going out of way for at all. It's just that this item is FANTASTIC. Every time it comes up in comes up with the servers they say it's one of the most popular items. So why keep it as an "only on Sunday" menu item? I used to love the atmosphere when I was in my 20s. The upstairs bar is really unique and interesting with its decor. Now that I'm in my 30s, I feel like this place is largely dark and loud. They do have an outdoor seating are but it do not have any fans. There are umbrellas and its nice in the spring before the what and humidity really hit. So come may its too hot for me to sit outside personally. On this most recent visit I got the Turkey sandwich. It was good. Its wasn't nearly as good as the aforementioned chicken sandwich...but it was good and I would order it again. I think the plates are smaller than they used to be which is a little annoying (I could totally be making that up though because again we don't come here often anymore). I'm a small person and usually cant finish a plate, but this i fully finished and was not full or overly stuffed (which is a positive for me frankly but I could see how this would bother someone with a normal appetite) We only ever go here for that particular item. We don't love close by anymore and parking in Decatur is a hassle. So getting there and parking, and all of that is a hassle and not fun so to not be able to get the thing you are specifically going for, even after you called to confirm it would be available...I don't think we'll be returning. It's too much hassle to be let down. Short of a a group situation, we won't be returning. read more

We stayed 5 weeks in Decatur, and kept coming back here over and over. Not only do they have a weekend Biergarten in the back with a rare beer made by monks, but they also have good NA beers. The decor inside is super cool. There's technically 4 bars? The food was phenomenal. Great chicken pot pie and fish & chips. There's also a turkey sandwich i believe that hit the spot perfectly for lunch one day. read more

Went for dinner today, everything was great. Started with the Bitterballen and the Fried Pierogies, both were excellent. The mustard that came with the Bitterballen was very strong but I like mustard so I liked it. For entrees, we got the Chicken Pot Pie and the Short Rib Pit Roast. Both were spectacular. For drinks, I tried both the Big Country and the Baseball bat. The cardamom was a little strong in the big country but overall both were pretty good. I'll definitely come back, honestly was pretty well priced for how high quality everything was read more

$$ Prices range from $10-20 This restaurant/bar is a staple of downtown Decatur. For as long as I can remember, this has been one the favorite watering holes for the locals around here. And for good reason too. The place is very cozy, situated down-downtown in Decatur, it offers plenty of seating, with an enormous selection of beers, and other adult beverages. It has an Irish pub feel to it, dark wood with dark paneling. The menu also has a large Irish influence to it. The staff is always extremely welcoming and nice every time I've been here. They are attentive and knowledgeable about their products and offerings. Especially their beverages! On this occasion we got the pub cheeseburger, which was fantastic! Very thick and juicy. And we also got a chicken pot pie.. I must say that it is one of the best I've tried. A little salty, but nothing to deter from the rest of the ingredients. It is a great place to stop by, have a drink and enjoy the view. Take it all in and have a snack while you're at it! read more
