My boyfriend and I decided to spend St. Patrick's evening at Paddy's Irish Pub at Chateau Elan in Braselton, GA, and it was the perfect choice! We didn't feel like trekking all the way to Buckhead or Atlanta just to drink and then deal with the hassle of getting home, so this spot was a fantastic local find. Before heading to the pub, we ate at Thrill, an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ place, so we didn't try any of the food at Paddy's. That said, I'm already excited to come back and dig into their cottage pie or fish and chips. I saw them pass by while I was grabbing a drink at the bar, and they looked absolutely amazing! The crowd was lively but welcoming, and everyone we met had such a friendly vibe. It really made the night special. The drinks were generously poured, which we absolutely appreciated! Our bartender was a standout, a cute brunette with the most amazing, warm demeanor that just lit up the place. I didn't catch her name, but she made us feel right at home. If you're looking for a great time without the big-city chaos, Paddy's is a gem worth checking out! read more
