9 Best Irish Pubs near Atlanta

“This is the best gem in EAV. Their food is absolutely *phenomenal* — gastropub meets fine dining…. But at gastropub prices! Great drink selection (including actually good wines, not the same stuff you’ll get for $12 a bottle at Kroger), super friendly atmosphere. It’s definitely a keeper!“

“Our server Zach was great. Has the best restaurant Bangers and Mash I have had outside of Ireland. bartenders killed it on there Jameson and Ginger. 10 stars!“

“This place is awesome, there’s a secret/speakeasy type comedy show on Tuesday nights that’s hilarious. Luke the dude who runs it is the man and they switch to short sets after the main show. If you haven’t seen this hidden gem you have to go!“

“On a Saturday night, being possessed of a thirst and a certain leisure after a Jordan Klepper show, I inquired for an establishment most proudly Irish in its constitution. Indeed, Fado is one of the most Irish public houses I have encountered in Atlanta. The place wears its heritage most openly, and with such authenticity that I half expected a fiddler to spring forth from the rafters and demand I sing along.

My intention was to secure a seat upon the patio; alas, every corner of it was already overrun by a cheerful horde of college students, each behaving as though stout were the fountain of eternal youth. Thus deprived, I consoled myself with their array of Guinness inspired potations, which I found both abundant and most welcome. One could scarcely lift a glass without the faint suspicion that the brewery itself was watching with approval.

I resolved that I should return on some future occasion when a soccer match is in progress, for the atmosphere, I suspect, will then be nothing short of riotous. With foresight, I inquired into the vexing matter of parking, and was relieved to learn that the house does indeed validate for the garage behind Yeppa. A gentleman likes to know he may part with his coin over ale, not asphalt.

All in all, it is a spot most conducive to merriment, if one does not mind the occasional roar of youth reminding one that his own college days are now but fondly misremembered footnotes.“

“Fun casual date night out. The food was delicious and service spot on. We needed a change from all the formal dining and this was perfect because the food is elevated while keeping its Irish origins. The bramble was like summer sunshine in a glass.“

“This hidden gem has excellent food for a reasonable price…and a great staff!“

“Awesome people, treat you like they’ve known you forever“

“We came here because we had been craving fish and chips. We definitely made the right choice! The fish and chips and brussel sprouts were so good. We were greeted as soon as we sat down and service was excellent. The beer was cold and the Sangria was great! We will definitely return soon!“

“This is me & my partner's go-to spot when we want a simple night out with good food, a good hookah, & good music. The vibe is real laid-back & the crowd is not too young or too old. We're both in our mid 40's, so this is just right for us.“
