    Fish and chips (darn good), salad (crisp and fresh), cold beer (?).
    Jody M.

    Hubby and I were out and about celebrating a great review from my doctor. I had a coupon to this place off of Groupon. The location wasn't that hard to find as the Costco down the street is the one we frequent most often. But back to the review. It's in a strip mall so may be a little difficult to find. But thanks to GPS. We both ordered the fish and chips. You got two decent pieces of fish. Not to sure if it was a frozen battered fish, but it was pretty good. Let me say, I hate steak fries. These made me change my mind. They were delicious. Fried a little crisp. Just right. Got a side salad. Very large for under $6. Also special shout out to the bartender (we sat at the bar) Angel. She was spot on. Engaging and cheerful. We'll be back. Definitely.

    I came here for the first time for dinner. I was extremely hunger. I ordered the lobster grilled cheese sandwich and side salad. The lobster sandwich was good other than the cream cheese inside of it. I think it would of tasted better without it and also be less fattening. The side salad was decent with the balsamic vingerette dressing. I also shared an appetizer(egg rolls) with my friend. I was still hungry after my meal. I will definitely try something else next time. Waiter service was great as well! I recommend this place to anybody in the Johnson Ferry Rd area:

    Cool place to have a drink! Not as expensive as other locations and the bartenders are friendly!

    Favorite sports bar in the area. Our bartenders Mike & Chris are amazing! They take the best care of us. It feels like home! Order the scooby snack shot ... you won't regret it.

    Bat & Ball Pub is a quaint little British pub in Brookhaven, located amid a strip of other diverse restaurants, which include Indian, Japanese, Mediterranean, and American. We decided on the pub because one, it had been a LONG week and two, because it had been a LONG week. Beers sounded deliciously inviting. Inside, you do get that pub feel. Dim, a little white noise, and people sitting around watching sports on the TV's. Our bubbly server didn't seem to fit in, but she took our orders, recommended food, and rattled off what beers were on draft. Not necessarily in that order. The beers on draft were VERY disappointing. I had trouble deciding, even after asking her to list them out for me twice. I ended up with a beer mix: Harp and some cider to make for a tasty Snake Bite. I was just hoping to try a new beer, but this pub is no Taco Mac. We ordered three appetizers for $27.95 (online menu doesn't seem up to date on prices), which actually was a bit overboard for two people to share. We got the Highland Platter, Nachos and the Irish Spring Rolls. The Highland Platter comes with two Scotch Eggs (halved), eight sausage rolls and four Cornish pasties. Very delicious, overall. I wasn't a huge fan of the pickled veggies in the middle, so I stuck to an egg, a couple pasties and a few of the bite size sausage rolls. The Scotch Egg was a pleasant surprise: I thought it was just going to be a deep fried egg, which while it was essentially just that, had a layer of what I think was some sort of sausage. Tasty. The Cornish pasties reminded us of Asian curry puffs, with the ingredients used in the pastie, sans curry. This was definitely was probably my favorite appetizer. The Grande Nachos were just ok. The chicken atop the nachos were cardboard dry. The flavor of whatever cheese they used was terrific. Irish Spring Rolls were the bomb. With the faint resemblance to Chinese egg rolls, the cabbage and the deep fried skin were the only similarities, as these fried spring rolls were tasty enough to not have to compare the two. I was slightly disappointed that the menu here was nearly identical (if not a 100% match) to the menu at Royal Oak Pub, another Dunwoody Restaurant Group pub, located at Perimeter Pointe. I would have been delighted to see a different menu with nuances unique to each pub.

    I've ordered in house here before and it was mediocre - nothing to write about good or bad. It's what you expect when you expect bland fried bar food. But tonight I got take out wings, and i swear they forgot to empty the fryer before they put them in the to go box. Literally wings drenched in a puddle of oil. The wings were not crispy and they had barely ANY seasoning on them. It was essentially plain wings swimming in cooking oil.

    Their menu is like a newspaper. So unique!

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.
