    My only regret is that I did not come here sooner. I used to live right down the street, but just never made the time, and somehow even though I live on the opposite side of ATL now, I found the time. I went with the full english breakfast, and of course a pint of guinness, which felt great asking the server for. The server was really nice. I sat at the bar. Conversational environment, and clean. The food was quick, hot, and SOOO GOOD! Ample parking. With a tip I spent $32. This is the type of place I wish I would have gone to more, because they have a little bit of everything that will have you coming back for me. Overall a fine establishment with some great eats!

    Outside seating with a view

    We approached the restaurant and noticed a small parking lot located right next-door. I pulled in and quickly found a spot. It's a little tight in there, but we were lucky enough to find a spot. We entered and I noticed the dark interior with the main bar over to the right. There were signs instructing us to seat ourselves. We decided we wanted to sit outside (of course). I let the bartender know we were headed outside and as we were walking out I saw the server and let her know as well. We picked a hightop table against the wall and soon after the same server came outside with menus and greeted us warmly. She said we were just in time, we could order either lunch or breakfast. We reviewed the menu and took in the nice view of the main strip in Avondale Estates. They had a pretty good beer selection with about 20 choices. Wifey initially ordered the Sierra Pils Lager, but they didn't have that one so she ordered her old standby favorite a Blue Moon. I ended up going with a Scofflaw Basement IPA. For food, I was in the mood for a club sandwich and luckily they had the Stratford club on the menu and I added some tater tots. Wifey ordered the Cuban sandwich with sweet potato fries and asked for them extra crispy. Our server informed us they could not do that, which I thought was strange. She said the way they were prepared, they don't come out "Extra" crispy but not mushy either. Wifey took her advice and stuck with the sweet potato fries. As we waited for our food to come out, I saw some plates going to other tables and everything looked very good. The beers and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The food looked fresh and the portion sizes were nice. We started digging in and we both loved our meals. This was a perfect stop for a spring lunch and our server, Autumn, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive.

    Fish & Chips

    Go to The Stratford. Ask for Denzel. At least, I think his name was Denzel. He took good care of us, making good suggestions and checking in throughout. I love it that I can get a Snakebite without having to explain what it is. My wife and I both had the fish & chips. The fish was fresh and hot right out of the fryer. The batter was crispy and the fish itself was perfect. Put that on top of a pile of chips and we were both very happy. Next time I'll try some of the other traditional pub fare. The burgers look really good. Do not sit outside unless you like flies. Inside is way more comfortable and generally devoid of flies. Outside is probably better in the fall and winter, when you can sit next to a fire. (There is a fireplace outside.)

    We came in as a party of six to dine before musical event here in Tucker, GA. When we originally arrived 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.

    The McStratford fish sandwich
    Kiyong T.

    Looking for that UK pub feel with a little bit of American charm thrown in, then the Stratford is it. Sitting on a corner in Avondale surrounded by building reflective of old world charm, the Stratford bar & restaurant provides a quiet spot for a quick bite. I had their fish sandwich "the McStratford" which was an elevated version of the filet-o-fish (I'm guessing from the name) was rather good, personally it could do without the American cheese. All in all, the food was good, the service was friendly and the ambiance was enjoyable (even with the screaming kids seated next to me. All in all a good experience!

    First time visiting this restaurant
    Ahmad W.

    So I went here for the first time on 7/19/2025. I've passed this place a lot of times and never visited. I went to another restaurant who grand opening was today was not open so I was in the area and I said that I'm going to check it out. I got 6 PC lemon pepper wings with blue cheese and tots fries was the other choice. The combo is $10.00:tots $2.00; beverage $7.00 with tax 20.52. delicious wings even though they are not whole wings. The beverage I got was great also. My phone opened up on this place the other day in my pocket btw. Fans and a TV also on the patio.

    This place is really cool! The outside, the decor, the people who work there are all great! It's a GREAT place to have a drink and hangout with friends! They have trivia on Wednesdays at 7 PM. The food is meh. It's not terrible but it's not great. However, everything else really makes up for it.

    Fish and Fish & Chips

    Had dinner with my daughter at the Stratford this week. It is convenient y to where she lives and we had eaten here before. I am not English but in my mind this is very traditional English Pub. Definitely a bar feel, but also family atmosphere and good food. They have a number of classic English dishes you don't always see here in America. We both went with fish dishes tonight. I had the fish and chips and my daughter the fish tacos. Both were excellent. Generous portion size and nice breading. On earlier trips we have tried the burgers and the shepard's pie. The shepard's pie may be too authentic for me. Heavy on the lamb and more stew like than the usual American versions. Overall a nice spot.

    Reserved parking area in the back
    Audrey B.

    Thankfully they have reserved parking in back. The lights are dim so hard to know it was open and we called to confirm. But it was and we got a booth. Now to be up front- this is a pub. Not necessarily a dive but it's a a family friendly dog included establish sure but the energy and vibe is kinda get in where you fit in. No one is hand holding but will answer as you ask. The waitress Tia was phenomenal as she was still extra sweet. Attentive and gave great suggestions. I personally love all of that. But what keeps the lights on has to be the food and beer. I was in love with my steak and frites. Just what I was thinking I wanted and made so well. Nothing but a good time and good food. Leave the pretentiousness at home. Also got chips and queso which was also extra good but ate too fast for photos. Defiantly on my will return list.

    Love this place, can't believe it took me so long to try it out. So far I know the following food items are great: salmon blt, wings, fries, tots. Great genuinely pub vibe, they play the ATL United matches (or at least were playing when I was there), the staff is friendly, as are the patrons it seems (just good vibes flowing).

    Liv J.

    The food was good, the service was amazing, and the ambiance was good. The restaurant was very nice and had a great location. I had the buffalo burger, it was ok.

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!

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!

Seeking economical choice with good food & drinks. Mission accomplished here! Wasn't our first choice. Dining on a Monday is hard, as so many restaurants are closed. But it turned out to be an excellent choice, as we loved our apps, drinks and meals. Had a nice size table with plenty of room in the quieter dining area in the back, away from the bar and TVs. There are TVs in back area as well, just not as many. Started with the nachos with beef chili, and the blackened brussel sprouts. Both were delicious and gone quickly! I had the cheeseburger salad. After all this deep fried, heavy southern food and grits, wanted something a little lighter. The portion was huge, and it was delicious. Onion rings were delicious. Huge plate for a side dish. Others had various wraps, and everyone loved their meals. Good tap beer selection. We had a variety of cold ones. If you're in the area looking for a good local, affordable place to have a meal or drinks, pick this spot. Its family friendly as well.
