    Queso and veggie burger
    Kandus J.

    One of my favorite spots in Decatur! Such great food, even for vegetarians! They have a veggie chili that is incredible!! They also make their own beer but have other beers as well. Plenty of pool tables plus free darts! Service is always killer too!

    Is that a...?

    What's for lunch today? It's going to be a mile high club sandwich paired with beef chili at Twain's where we're knocking back a few and day drinking! Twain's is a fun establishment with pool and some table shuffleboard and a few pinball machines. And great food with friendly service. We had a fab time here getting our grub on before heading onwards. Very tight parking lot though, so good luck there! [Review 233 of 2025 - 802 in Georgia - 23797 overall]

    Vegetarian Cuban with a side of vegetarian chili
    Lynn P.

    We had planned to eat at a different restaurant, which was closed, so this was a pivot- a fortuitous pivot. Since we started eating vegetarian, pub food usually means making significant compromises, creating a meal out of sides and/or appetizers or crossing our fingers when we order the salad. My husband ordered the Mushroom Stew, which is served over garlic mash potato. This is delicious comfort food at its very best. A hardcore carnivore would be happy with this: I feel confident that easily half of the people who order it are not vegetarian or vegan. If not more. There are two veggie burger options, and a vegetarian Cuban (plus a delicious, sophisticated salad with fennel, goat cheese, smoked pumpkin seeds, etc) - I ordered the veggie Cuban, made with Jackfruit, with a side of the vegetarian chili and both were great. Next time, I am trying the crispy cauliflower and Brussels, and if my husband is really nice, I will share. The beer selection and vibe here are solid, and the pool tables and dart boards are definitely a plus if you want to make a night of it.

    So came here on a Thursday. I must say if a week day come after 5 pm they have a full menu. Before that's it's a limited one with very few choices. We settled on chicken tenders , shared a large fry and wings. It's a large rustic place older building but man the food was very yummy ! The chicken tenders were huge !!!!! I ate two 1.5 and had left overs ! The fries reminded me of 5 guys fries which I love , the wings were juicy and good. The Mac and cheese was gooey and creamy I like the large noodles. Waiter was attentive and kind. I would absolutely be Back!

    Twain's is a fun place to go in Decatur for drinks and to watch sports! It is walking distance to Decatur Square. The wait staff is great and the drinks are good. They have their own drinks on taps and the flavors rotate.

    Food: Food was good. Late night food. We can during the last hour so people were winding down. Limit options. Service- Again we could tell people were ready to go home. Ambiance- fun but the dart area was full of dirty tables and limited darts.

    Hummus plate and pretzels
    Marni M.

    Came here as I had plans to go somewhere else nearby that turned out to be closed. They were hosting a large party so we weren't able to play pool but we could play darts instead. The staff were nice while having to cover the bar and check in on the large group. I didn't get to see much of the establishment since the darts were near the front but it seemed pretty large. I tried their rhubarbie drink, hummus plate and pretzels. As a fan of gin, I liked my drink which was slightly tart thanks to the rhubarb. The pretzels was soft served with a side of cheese and mustard. I enjoyed the sides with the hummus including carrots, cucumbers, olives and warmed pita wedges. Overall, I had a decent experience having ordered simple items from their menu. I wouldn't mind coming again to see what the rest of the building has to offer.

    I've been here several times before I didn't leave a review. The parking lot was packed this time so I paid for parking across the street pass the pizza place near ponko chicken. The food here is good. I prefer the smoked wings though they flash fry them it might be cool just to have smoked only and fried only for the option. I get the lime pepper Wings which are great with blue cheese. I also got some fries and a cold beer. My uncle on the pool table. We went on ¹1/30/2024. Parking was like $15.00 for 3 hours I think. Great customer service here btw also. They also get your ID and debit card to hold and you get charged by the hour.

    Newly renovated darts lane
    Wade M.

    Attended Super Saturday for the Atlanta-Decatur Darts Association (ADDA) at Twains and was blown away by the atmosphere and enjoyment of their newly refurbished darts space. Twains now has six boards, professionally spaced, and with lighting that was installed by the best gaffer in the Atlanta media scene. The staff was READY for this event and kept the beer and grub flowing all day and deep into the night. This is not hyperbole to say it was a legendary event, perhaps the best in the 20+ year relationship between ADDA and Twains.

    Nachos with veggie chili
    L P.

    Staff friendly and always great. Today we had nachos with the chili but often have the chicken tenders which are sooo good. Delicious variety of beer on tap. Fun place.

    Stan M.

    Stopped in for a cold brew. The place is huge inside. Parking lot is small and was packed after 5pm. No street parking. Luckily the lot next door was accepting parking for a fee. We had a party of 3, 2 of us ordered beer the other a cocktail. The beer was good and cold. We decided on Beer Queso and Chips. Chips seemed homemade thin and crunchy, queso was good.

    Server was amazing... food great! The atmosphere is beautiful. Great time good vibes. Something for all ages to enjoy!

    Always love coming here. When I come in, I leave happy and full. It's a good local spot with good food and drinks. The service is always great. I'm glad they provided a reason to come hang out here like there trivia nights. Still some what pricy on the food, but it's still good!!

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!
