Bantam was a great experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and the atmosphere had a really cool vibe. Service was friendly and quick. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

Irish coffee Western omelette

A friend suggested that after we went on a run in the Beltline and I honestly had no clue all of this existed behind O4W park honestly and this is such a cute little spot. We got there right at 10 when they opened on a Saturday morning and the staff was super great and patience with us and let us pick a table outside. Our waitress was quick and we got some drinks to start. I opted for an iced Irish coffee which was delicious definitely could taste the whiskey. For brunch I got the western omelette with hash. The omelette was great and it came with some toast and it was delicious. Also shared a side of sweet potato fries and they were phenomenal. Such a cute spot for brunch!

Some Friends and I walked over from another nearby bar. We passed their patio and grabbed one of the tables outside. Our server came by right away to check in on us. We quickly reviewed the menu. They had a pretty good selection of beers, between their draft, bottle and can offerings. I opted for a Creature Comforts Tropicalia while some of my friends decided to order some food with their beers. Their orders included Mac and Cheese with added grilled chicken and the Avocado Beet Salad. The food and beers came out quickly and the food looked very good. My friends started digging in and had zero complaints. I hung around for a couple of rounds and then headed out. The place had a relaxed, quirky, dive-bar feel to it. Our server was friendly and attentive. I'd definitely come back and try some of their menu items. I also learned it is very close to the Beltline, which is an added bonus. 3.5 Rating

Bantam is my favorite place! They have great drinks, nice bartenders, and delicious food. Wings are . Feels like a nice quaint dive bar inside.

We stopped into bantam pub for lunch and it was delicious! The food was terrific and well priced. The only reason for the 4 stars was the bartender/ server was a little off but other than that it was great. Would definitely go back to this cute little place.

Mac and cheese

I've been here a few times and always have a great time-- ideal for casual, late night drinks where you want to sit and talk or a post-work dinner with friends on their patio. Their food was solid and the service is always great. I wish they had pitchers but that's a minor concern.

Chicken Cesar salad

My friends and I came here before attending a festival 7 min walk away. A lot of people had the same thought process as it was already almost at max capacity by the time we arrived on a Saturday afternoon. We got to share their large pretzel and sweet potato fries. The pretzel was huge, fluffy and chewy. My pretzel craving was satisfied especially with the queso dip. Fries were crisp, sweet, and salty! For entrees we tried their Carnitas tacos, Chicken Cesar salad, Angus burger, and Lamb burger. Everyone was happy with their choices since everything was prepared and seasoned well. The tacos I had were only two but they were pretty jam packed. Overall, we had a good experience. Service was slow but that was because they were very busy and barely staffed. Would come again if in the area!

Chicken Sandwich
Megha D.

This is such an underrated spot!! I was meeting a friend for a late lunch and they suggested this place which I'd never heard of. Parking wise, there's a small lot behind or you can find free street parking nearby. It's seat yourself inside and our server was super attentive and friendly, checking in on us consistently. I just had a Tropicalia, but they had lots of interesting beers on tap which I appreciated. I loved how varied the menu was too! I got the Bantam Chicken Sandwich, and my friend got the Lamb Burger. The chicken sandwich was PHENOMENAL. I LOVED the jalapeno aioli that was on it and the chicken was super tender and juicy. The sweet potato fries I subbed in were also perfectly crunchy. I also tried a bite of the lamb burger and that was also delicious. Overall, very casual and easy spot for lunch and can't wait to go back!!

Irish coffee

Update: went to brunch to my old faithful spot. Can't go wrong with a the frittata and shrimp and grits. So good! Service is always good and the suave is relaxing and easy.

Lamb burger (feta cheese and fried onions)
Seema Z.

I had been to this bar many years ago and this was me Coming back after 5 years. It still has the old half a decade ago ATL vibe, Lots of character and neighborhood dive bar feel Rigjt next to beltline. They have 7-8 draft selections of local beer including guiness !! We went for dinner and tried the bantam burger and lamb burger. The lamb was definitely more flavorful but the bantam burger had a healthy serving of mushrooms and brie cheese. The fries are awesome too!Definitely try this spot out and I'll try to come back for brunch

I can't say enough about this Dining Out Passbook. It has really brought me to some great spots. This place is no different. I think it's definitely for the neighborhood though. When you first walk in there's no hostess area..it took a minute to realize it's seat yourself. There's no sign and no one to tell you that. Now if you're a regular and already know that it's cool but it's kinda awkward and even unwelcoming if not. Once seated though it's all uphill. Our server was sweet and attentive. We ordered the frittata, the bantam burger and the breakfast plate. I enjoyed the frittata. The veggies inside is what gave it most of its flavor. I wish I would have asked for the potatoes to be cooked more...I like my home fries crispy. My hubby thought the grits were good in his breakfast plate. My son hit the jackpot with that burger. I was looking at the brunch menu and didn't realize there was a regular burger option. We just got all the veggies on the side and I put them on my frittata. It was a good burger. I generally don't like battered fries but theirs were good. Customer service is really what bumped my star up..we had a misunderstanding with the bill (truth be told I misunderstood how they handle the buy one get one with the Passbook) but I really appreciated how it was rectified. I would go back to try those empanadas everyone on yelp is raving about!!

Downtown

What a cool place. Discovered it incidentally while in downtown Atlanta. Upscale with a dress code…read morethankfully. The entrance code can be obtained from their website or local hotel concierges. Dial the number on the antique phone and the door magically opens. The staff super friendly and helpful. The bartenders are the best, clearly passionate about their work. I highly encourage you to try one or several of their signature cocktails. I sampled the Left Bank Martini and Vesper. As expected they are fully stocked with Pappy Bourbon, hard to find Amaro Noni. Ask a bartender about the ice block. The place is spacious unlike other speakeasys I've been to. Lots of niche areas with couch reservations, pool table available. No time for a cigar but that is on my list when I return. Food available from their upstairs sister restaurant.

I stopped in for a quick drink before heading to my next destination, and my experience was not…read moreonly disappointing--it was unacceptable. I sat at the bar and had a little light banter with the bartender who is a brother looking to be in his late 30's-early 40's. When I asked about two fruity cocktails from the menu, he flat-out said he wasn't going to make them. That alone was off-putting. Trying to move forward, I asked what he specialized in, and he said he'd "come up with something." I agreed--but very clearly stated: no rum, because my body does not react well to it. After watching him make drinks for people who ordered after me, he eventually handed me a cocktail I never even saw him prepare. That already raised a flag. I took a few sips, and sure enough--my stomach immediately started reacting the exact way it does when I've had rum. When I asked what alcohol he used, he said, "I don't even know." That response alone tells you everything you need to know. At that point, I reminded him I specifically said no rum. Instead of taking accountability, he tried to argue and backtrack. Let me be clear--when a customer tells you not to use a specific liquor, you don't ignore it, guess, or "forget." That's basic service and basic respect. This situation completely threw off my evening, as I had plans afterward and ended up feeling sick. To make matters worse, I reached out to management and received no response. That lack of accountability speaks volumes. At the end of the day, this wasn't just a bad drink--it was careless service. This staff does not prioritize customer care, and that's a problem. If you choose to visit, be very direct, pay close attention, and don't assume your requests will be respected.

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!!

Probably one of the nicest Irish pubs I've been to. It's everything you can expect from a pub-…read moreloud, rowdy at times if an ATL sports team is on. It's bigger than it looks from the outside. But it's pretty clean and a bit more elevated than the typical dusty pub. The food was decent. I just had a chicken and pear salad but I actually really enjoyed it. It's nothing over the top but can make for a decent meal. We came in Friday night so it was judy and the service was slow.

Me and my wife stopped by this Fado's to grab some lunch on a Saturday. We were craving a glass of…read moreGuinness, and this place was perfect for it, so we ended up getting lunch too. We got some buffalo wings to start with. They were really good! It was nice and hot too (temperature wise and flavor wise.) They were literally steaming for a good 5 minutes after our server brought them. My wife got the blackened chicken salad wrap with fries for her main, and I got the fish and chips lunch portion. Both tasted INCREDIBLE. Her wrap was really good, I had a few bites. It was packed with toppings and the chicken tasted really good. My fish and chips were GREAT. I got the lunch portion, which comes with one piece of fish, but the dinner portion comes with two I believe. I didn't realize it was only one piece for the lunch portion, otherwise I would've gotten the dinner portion...I was hungry!! The fries we both got were nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I got some BBQ sauce to dip my fries into. I also doused my fish and chips with vinegar...you got to to do it that way! Our glasses of Guinness were fresh and poured really nicely too. They were also nice and cold! Our server was really friendly too and was always checking on us. We really enjoyed ourselves, and we'll definitely be back! We have been to this location a few times, and also the one in Buckhead. We have been to the Buckhead one more, as we used to live right in Buckhead, not too far from that location.
