Beer
Jaden L.

Visited Atlanta this last weekend. Found this place while walking around the Hub. I was happy to find a non fast food place. Wait staff was great, they were attentive during the lunch hour. Food was good. I wish the chimichurri was drizzled over my steak rolls more than dipping though. Frito pie was tasty!

Pub Burger with fries

Located in downtown Atlanta, Gibney's is a restaurant and pub that is business friendly, tourist friendly, and convention friendly. Within walking distance of many hotels, Gibney's is not a dive nor an upscale establishment, but rather a middle of the road restaurant/bar that is approachable for visitors. Beyond the large bar, there are booths as well as private event areas. The place is fairly well lit and is perfect for a drink and dinner at the same table. We got the pub burger and shepard's pie. Both were good and vey large/filling.

Buffalo Wings
Allie G.

Wow. The weirdest and worst interaction we have ever had with a waitress. It's self seating so we kick a table and very soon after our waitress comes over. We start with water while we look at their drink menu. A short wait later she comes back and we ask for a Cadillac margarita (we wanted to try one before ordering more). This is where it goes bad; she comes back saying they don't have "that" and we say "You don't have the ingredients?" To which she replies "No we don't have.....that. Only what's on the cocktail menu". We couldn't believe it as they have a full bar so my husband went to ask and sure enough they DO make Cadillacs. The bartender Ryan makes one quickly and sends it over. It was in a martini type class with no ice.....interesting take. He also sent over a shot on the house for the misunderstanding. We liked the Cadillac so we ask our waitress for two more and she literally asks us "Do you really need 2 more?". We had literally been there less than 45 minutes and were sober yet it was like she was trying to cut us off already. That was the last straw and we paid out our tab and left. We also ordered their wings Buffalo style with medium heat level and they were so so. The wings I guess are smoked or something because they were smoky and had a BBQ flavor despite having Buffalo sauce. I would not order these again. Ryan was really nice and tried to remedy the situation to get us to stay but with a waitress like that and the disappointing wings it just couldn't be salvaged.

I was in town for a convention and stopped in for lunch and a beer. This spot is lovely. Very large space and good service. I had the honor of meeting the owner while I was exploring the space. Food was standard for a bar, filling and atypical. I just really enjoyed the atmosphere.

Pub Burger and Frito Pie.
Michelle J.

I was excited to try some of the things I saw on Yelp. I guess the menu had changed. Lol. When you are hungry everything looks good. I could not decide. My friend had a burger that looked really good. I had Frito Pie. Everything was good and staff was nice. I want to go back and try the Fish and chips. They do not provide tangible menus so make sure your phone is charged. . .

After a tour of the Atlanta Falcons stadium, I had food on my mind. Searching Yelp "Gibney's Pud" came strongly recommended. Across the street is paid parking, so you almost feel rushed. But I was hungry so I didn't mind. The big red door represents the inside of the restaurant. You sit where you want, so the only seats available were in the back. Our waitress, who almost ruined our visit came over. The entire time, she never brought over our drinks, came to the table, or got our orders right. I was so disappointed in her service. Lastly, she charged us more because she charged us another tables bill. However, the owner was incredible. A Staten Island native, who moved to Georgia to open this bar. He loves the Giants and was glad we traveled for the game. That was awesome. The bartender was incredible as well. She was friendly and spoke to us about football. They made the visit worth it. Also, the food was great. The wings were the best I've had in Atlanta. The burger was juicy and flavorful. The fries didn't even bend they were so crunchy. The meal was perfect. I would come again to support a New York local. Hopefully I can have the bartender as my waitress.

I was in Atlanta for the first time on business. I was sightseeing with a friend and we got thirsty. Yelp helped us find Gibney's. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is inviting and the staff is friendly. We didn't have any food, but it looked really good. The drinks were served with a good pour and promptly. The place is fun, I'll definitely come back.

Nice little olace near the hotel I am staying in. Food was good and it has the small pub vibe. Service was a little slow but the server was working hard. The food took some time to come out. Overall a goid experience.

BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich Lunch
Paul R.

I wanted to get a nice beer at lunch and what beer place than Gibney's pub. A short walk from most hotels downtown on the first floor of the Peachtree center. It is a nice pub vibe and decorated with tons if signs and a nice bar to sit at. There is a newer golden tee golf here and billiards as well. Not busy during my visit. They had many types of beer on tap but I wanted a black and tan and it was very smooth. Really enjoyed it. I decided on a very un pub like BBQ sandwich. It was actually quite tasty and was a very good quality pulled pork and a not too sweet nor spicy BBQ sauce. The fries were excellent crisp and tasty as well. It also comes with a small portion of Cole slaw as well. The service was friendly and quick and I really enjoyed my lunch here.

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.

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.
