To start off, I had a very successful evening at Decatur Makers, and after the meeting closed, I…read morewent over the Marley House and enjoyed a few beers and Shepard pie. I was happy, so I decided to buy a round for my 2 friends that I invited. We enjoyed the beers and one had apple cider I think, and we had a big pretzel and tried some Shepards pie. We talked about Steam Punk events, Oh wow that meat potato, peas, maybe cheese, and I do not know what all, was terrific. The baked crust was crunchy and really hit the spot. I had never tried it before, but I was sure I would prolly have another one the next time I visited the Bar. Cooper, the manger was friendly and fast serve. Daniel was our server and very attentive, My friend asked about a dark lager beer, the difference with light, and Daniel went to great lengths to share the difference. The vibe in the bar lively with animated discussions, going on everywhere. My kind of bar, My Dad owned a Bar up in Ohio till his death at 93. He drank beer every day, endured back then second hand smoke, and lived a great life. so alcohol and food is a good mix, add friends and you got a match. My friends say I talk toomuch, but I have no idea where they get that? Grin...... Hee hee hee I had a great night and expect to return. I am a 77 year ole US Navy vet, I am legally Blind, and was celebrating with friends about recent patent success. We are gonna help the Blind, Deaf, and Mute.

This is by far my favorite restaurant in Downtown Decatur! It is a classic Irish styled pub, a…read morelittle dark & moody but with a friendly neighborhood vibe. The food is great and the staff is better! The food is really good, their menu is not overwhelming and they came out a few items worth the season. Some of my favorites are the chicken tender basket w/chips (huge portion), blackened chicken Alfredo, and the chicken Kiev (recent addition). My fav sides include the chips and the brussel sprouts! They also make great drinks and have a decent local draft beer selection that rotates. They have a calendar of events and host an Irish band on Tuesdays and trivia night on Thursdays. There is plenty of outdoor seating for the lovely days & nights. Check them out, you will not be disappointed!

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!

I was recommended this pub by so many people. I was in DT Decatur with some friends, my wife, and…read morebrother 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!!

Blew Me Away Everything Was a Hit…read more This place absolutely blew me away. The atmosphere was amazing perfect dinner hangout or date spot. Great vibe without trying too hard. The food? Incredible across the board. I'm not even a big fish guy, but I got the fish and chips and loved it. That alone says a lot. Spinach dip loved it. Fish tacos loved them. Dessert loved it. Beer loved it. There's a ton of variety on the menu, and everything we tried delivered. That kind of consistency is rare. Service was over-the-top good. Attentive, friendly, and added to the whole experience. Price felt exactly right for a date night spot not cheap, but definitely worth it for the quality. Couldn't be happier with this one. I'll absolutely be back. Overall: Easy 5/5 no hesitation.

Table for 2 for Lunch We were shopping in the area and did…read morea quick Internet search for lunch and found Wheelhouse Craft Pub and Kitchen. We had been in this part of Decatur many times and I never heard of it. We took the quick 5 minute ride over and I realized we had passed it many times. I think it had a different name last I noticed. As we approached I noticed the nice sized parking lot. A quick estimate, it could hold about 40 - 50 cars. I quickly found an open spot and walked over to the entrance. We entered and I could see the host walking toward us. He greeted us warmly, we let him know we were a party of 2 and preferred to sit outside. He informed us we could head out there and pick our own seat. We walked through the dark interior and headed outside using the side door. We found a table at the end of the patio near the front of the restaurant. There was plenty of outside seating on their patio and many of the tables were covered or had an umbrella. It was a little cooler than I expected so I ran back over to the car to pick up my jacket. I returned to the table and our friendly server came by and asked if we were ready to order. We were happy to see they had an extensive beer menu and I chose the Hi-Pitch Mosaic IPA from Hi-Wire brewing and Wifey ordered the Harp Lager. For food, we kept it simple and decided to share the Pork Nachos appetizer. Our waters came out next, and then the beers came out soon after. As we were hanging around and enjoying the patio I noticed the place was very dog friendly. The Pork Nachos arrived and were excellent. It was not a huge portion, but the perfect size for what we were looking for. The chips were crispy and the pulled pork was seasoned well. All the ingredients worked well together. We would definitely recommend the nachos if you visit Wheelhouse. Overall, this was a very good experience during our 1st visit here and we will definitely return when in the area.

It's hard to judge an establishment by its patrons, but Mary and Peter should be banned. It was clear they are regulars. I still don't know if they were over served or just dickheads normally. But if I want to hear you sing badly, I'll go find a karaoke spot. These two were full of "pull my finger" jokes and other obnoxious wit. Now for the rest of the review: The menu is fine, but dinner specials are served on loose paper as are the drink menu but it's on a clipboard with multiple pages. I opted for a hamburger with waffle fries. I ordered Med-well, but received Med-rare. The bottom bun was disintegrating as it was saturated in grease. The waffle fries are solid and two people ordered the Irish Nachos to go while I was there so they may be the star. My fries were served with a mayo-hot sauce mixture that was just okay. I really wished my experience was better because there is so much here I normally like: local, neighborhood dive, music, tv. But this was a one-and-done for me. Also, the bar height is awkward. I'm 6'0 and felt like a kid sitting at a bar where I have to raise my elbows.

We got some buffalo wings to start with. They were really good! It was nice and hot too (temperature wise and flavor wise.) They were literally steaming for a good 5 minutes after our server brought them. My wife got the blackened chicken salad wrap with fries for her main, and I got the fish and chips lunch portion. Both tasted INCREDIBLE. Her wrap was really good, I had a few bites. It was packed with toppings and the chicken tasted really good. My fish and chips were GREAT. I got the lunch portion, which comes with one piece of fish, but the dinner portion comes with two I believe. I didn't realize it was only one piece for the lunch portion, otherwise I would've gotten the dinner portion...I was hungry!! The fries we both got were nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I got some BBQ sauce to dip my fries into. I also doused my fish and chips with vinegar...you got to to do it that way! Our glasses of Guinness were fresh and poured really nicely too. They were also nice and cold! Our server was really friendly too and was always checking on us. We really enjoyed ourselves, and we'll definitely be back! We have been to this location a few times, and also the one in Buckhead. We have been to the Buckhead one more, as we used to live right in Buckhead, not too far from that location.

If you're in downtown Atlanta, add this to your list!…read more A group of us attempted to visit on a Wednesday night, and it was a 1.5-hour wait! Then, I successfully visited once for lunch right when they opened at 11:30 AM on that Thursday and again for late-night snacks/drinks that Friday. The pub was enjoyable empty for lunch right when they open, so I recommended that timing! We received a warm welcome; undivided attention; and the just-opened vibe where employees are cheerful and ready to talk about specials in an energetic and authentic way. The vibe is cool---definitely fits the bill for a pub: dim lighting, wall decor, wood paneling. The service was excellent. Our server took time to explain the menu and specials and accommodated our substitution requests with grace. My chicken BLT with no B ($18.00) and extra avocado and extra spicy mayo ($0.50) was delicious, fresh, hot, and a good portion. It came with fries. I would definitely order it again! The second time I visited was with a group of people for drinks around 10 PM. We got a private space in the back with TVs, fans, and thrones (yes, thrones), which was cool. I forgot to take photos. I ordered the Meehan's margarita ($14.00) and sweet potato fries ($6.50). Both tasted great and hit the spot!

We came in as a party of six to dine before musical event here in Tucker, GA. When we originally…read morearrived the restaurant had about four patrons seated. Two at the bar one and two at the tables. The decor is dark and moody , as a pub should be. It has a bit of mystery with music playing on a jukebox that you can access through an app. There are bicycles mounted in the front windows showcasing a sporty vibe with Atlanta United scarves and jerseys mounted on the racks and walls near by. Seat yourself is the motto as you enter. We sat in two booth and tables closest to the bar. The pub lost its adult only feel as locals with young kids arrived and sat around us. The Army Navy game was playing in a few tvs so that helped to hold the sports bar mode. We received menus and find it a little hard to see without our phone flash lights. Yes, it's dark in here there are no over head lights. ( use your phone) After looking the menu over I tried the steak and fries cooked medium- pure perfection ;along with the Cesar salad was great. I don't need to tell the locals they should show up I believe they are mostly seated and dining already. The food and service are exceptional.

I've been to Irish Pubs before. I've been to other Fados. This one was only alright…read more Most times I have darkened the doors of a pub, it was to drink my sorrows away. This visit was a work trip with work people with work programming. So, a long night of sad drinking was not in front of me. What *was* in front of me, however, was a buffet. Coming to Fado for food... okay. And that's what the food was... okay. Granted, it was a buffet. But trays of crudites, hummus, chicken satay, bbq brisket, pretzel bites, stuffed mushrooms, and salmon in mustard sauce didn't have me wanting to dance a jig. Some of the blame needs to stay with the person (people?) who put in the order. But the execution was nothing that excited. Staying on theme, the service (bar and bussing) was pretty lethargic as well. I'm assuming my group had a buyout, as we were the only people in the place. Despite that, getting a drink was interminable. The Irish Coffee was strong and proprietary (don't expect heaps of whipped cream; instead said cream is styled in the shape of the Fado squiggly. This Tennessean gives his three stars for Irish whiskey. YMMV.
