    The "chicken and waffles"
    Elizabeth A.

    This places is pretty spread out as it has hightops and a few benches. They also have outdoor seating. The person I was with wanted chicken and waffles which ended up looking like frozen store bought Chechen tenders and two waffles that are definitely not fresh. The Brussels sprouts and the cauliflower "wings" were great but overpriced for the amount. The salad I had came with strawberries that were definitely sour. I also don't eat chicken so I asked for the salad to be plain but came to find out that it didn't matter as the price was the same. I ended up paying close to $80 for a few plates and no drinks. Service was mediocre and ambience is sone here between spots bar and farm style. I can say it was my first and last time trying this place.

    This place opens back on July 25th 2022. This was our first time going there. We wanted to give the new business a little time to work out the kinks. With that being said, it has been open for about 2 months now. They had plenty of staff. We were seated right away. We had a nice server. Our drinks, apps and food came out rather quickly. It wasn't a large dining room but it was very spacious. It did not feed crowded in there. The seats, booths and tables were large and very comfortable. They had lots of TVs so if sports is your thing, they were plenty of TVs to view. We did not go outside but it did look like there was plenty of seating outside as well. It also looked like the bar opened up to not only the inside but the outside as well. That was pretty cool. My wife had the fried cheese app and I had the loaded nachos with grilled chicken. They were both really good. The nachos could have been a meal in themselves it was so big. She had the wings and I had the fish and chips. The wings were regular size, not too small, not too big. They were juicy and not overcooked either. My fish was cooked perfectly as well. Fries were ok. We will definitely be back to try some other things sometime. Everything seemed reasonably priced. Nothing seemed overpriced. At night, about every night the parking lot always seems to be packed out. Also, the patio is in a great position, it sits so when they open around noon, it's in the shade, and it stays in the shade during the rest of the afternoon.

    Funnel Fries

    We have visited 81 North on several occasions. The service is always excellent. The food is reasonably priced. We have never had a bad meal. The servers are friendly and always helpful. We love that the atmosphere is casual and comfortable. We had their funnel fries tonight for the first time! Oh my goodness! Decadently wonderful!

    Place is clean and food is good. Menu could be a little more extensive. But limiting it keeps things fresh.

    Good and atmosphere are pretty good. Sometimes the wait for a table can be a little long, but it's worth it. Will definitely visit again.

    Overpriced food and beer and terrible atmosphere - very open, bright and sterile.

I was impressed by the…read moreplace, but after a couple of beers and an appetizer we were given instructions to evacuate the restaurant due to a kitchen fire. The next time in 2024 when I was in the area, they were closed for a remodel. Today was the day. The beer selection was fantastic and so was the food. I got the pork sandwich with greens on top. It was delicious, but it could've not had juices leaking so much? Maybe cheese below and above the meat to try to keep some of the juices off the bun or maybe more bun toasting? The fries were amazing and I should've gotten the aolie initially, but didn't get it until I saw another table with an order. It was delicious. The service was very good. The server had good knowledge of the beers, food, and was friendly. This is one of the best beer bars in the US. The Atlanta area is fortunate to have two killer beer bars, the other being the Brick Store Pub in Decatur.

    The food was okay overall. The first time I went, I really enjoyed it, but the second visit was…read morelater at night, so it may have just been an off day. The pretzels were burnt, the schnitzel was overfried, and the fish was a bit greasy. The deviled eggs were fine, but nothing particularly memorable. That said, aesthetically it is a great place with beautiful old architecture, solid service, and an amazing beer list.

    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!!

The onion rings are top tier, the fried pickles are delicious, and the wings are great. The bar staff were B and Shanna. B was the best; tentative, kind and funny. She checked on us often as newbies. Shanna is the only reason this review didn't get 5 stars. She was cold, evasive and made it seem like she was bothered by us asking questions. It was our first time there. Once she was annoyed having to take our drink order, she never said another word to us. Asking her to change the TV felt like pulling teeth. Then B came in and saved the day. The food, karaoke and B made this an good time on a Friday night. Because of the atmosphere, the indoor smoking, and the chance of dealing with Shanna again, I'd pass on going in and order take out next time.
