Wanted some late night food and it came with entertainment. I had a burger and it was huge and delicious and it came with fries. I had a couple drinks and they def did the job. There was a bingo game going on and all the tvs had different vibes going on. They had darts and pool, lots of tables. I would definitely recommend, come have some drinks grab some food and have a blast.

This is not the kinda place one searches yelp for. This place is somewhere you stumble into cause nothing else is open. The beer selection is wide and the food is alright. The bartender Thursday night is a sweetheart. Took care of me and my guy. The patrons are friendly and this is cheers but not as preppy. The vibe, decor and everything around screams dive. Which I love but if your not comfortable with will be hard to swallow as they clearly are in their comfort zone. The only lost star is the mediocre food. But I would be back for the pool or darts or beer or the food since nothing else was open lol.

8:15pm 2/10/2023 My fiancé and I have been coming to trackside tavern for quite a while now, tonight was the first night we were denied service. We walked in and sat ourselves at the right side of the bar after about 10 mins the bartender approached us and very rudely asked for our ids, no biggie maybe she's having a rough night. We politely pulled out our ids in our wallet to show her. She rudely again said pull out your ids.. sitting here puzzled because our id are right in front of her, she proceeds to say take your id out of your wallet. Which also is not a problem, but the way she is speaking to us like we did something to her is just unacceptable. So I said to her that's not a problem at all, but I've never been asked to do that before and I come here often. She checks our ids then throws her hands up in the air and with an attitude walks away to the other side of the bar to take other customers order. I watch her continue to take and make orders around the bar, after she finishes she approaches us again and said what do y'all want? .... At this point I'm beside myself. I've never experienced this kind of treatment at this establishment. My fiancé asked her, are you ok? Are you just having a rough night? And she says to us "this isn't going to work out, y'all need to find somewhere else to go, I'm not serving y'all" Im sure if we were profiled because we are young or because we are black. Im not sure but this was completely unacceptable and extremely unethical. We are paying customers that come almost ever other week. For the nachos and smoked wings. I've never been treated this way at any establishment especially in Decatur where I was born and raised. We have been here casually seating at the bar for the last hour while being denied service while she throws back shots back to back. I wouldn't recommend this as a bad establishment but if this lady is working I would turn around. I honestly can't believe we were just treated like we were in a whites only bar in 2023. Not sure if she is just having a bad night or what the case may . The staff isn't bad like I said I've never been treated like this here. 9:15 2/10/2023 Anthony/Chris we would like to thank you for noticing that we do come in often. Sucks that we had to wait an hour before being served but we appreciate the service.

Menu

Great atmosphere food never fells when I come here. Great food smoked wings w/hot sauce the best. As for service staff is very respectful and will get you anything you need. Will make any drink you want.

See all

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!!

My wife that is 100% Irish sampled the Smithwicks and it was flat and I tasted it and agreed. My wife ordered Shepard's pie( they cook it fresh and it could be 25 mins) and right before it's time for it to arrive the waitress comes and tells us they are out of mash potatoes and would she like French fries on it instead, WHAT!? The manager comes over and apologizes because yesterday was Valentines Day and they wiped them out....Really!? so they served her Shepard's pie with no mash potatoes on top and did NOT adjust the bill at all... not even a pint on the house. Nevertheless, we will never return and just a FYI The Marley House is around the corne which is a lovely Irish Pub.

I was happy, so I decided to buy a round for my 2 friends that I invited. We enjoyed the beers and one had apple cider I think, and we had a big pretzel and tried some Shepards pie. We talked about Steam Punk events, Oh wow that meat potato, peas, maybe cheese, and I do not know what all, was terrific. The baked crust was crunchy and really hit the spot. I had never tried it before, but I was sure I would prolly have another one the next time I visited the Bar. Cooper, the manger was friendly and fast serve. Daniel was our server and very attentive, My friend asked about a dark lager beer, the difference with light, and Daniel went to great lengths to share the difference. The vibe in the bar lively with animated discussions, going on everywhere. My kind of bar, My Dad owned a Bar up in Ohio till his death at 93. He drank beer every day, endured back then second hand smoke, and lived a great life. so alcohol and food is a good mix, add friends and you got a match. My friends say I talk toomuch, but I have no idea where they get that? Grin...... Hee hee hee I had a great night and expect to return. I am a 77 year ole US Navy vet, I am legally Blind, and was celebrating with friends about recent patent success. We are gonna help the Blind, Deaf, and Mute. I recommend that you try out this great Place John Gutmann, aka walter-bs, Blind Sighted

The food is great and the staff is better! The food is really good, their menu is not overwhelming and they came out a few items worth the season. Some of my favorites are the chicken tender basket w/chips (huge portion), blackened chicken Alfredo, and the chicken Kiev (recent addition). My fav sides include the chips and the brussel sprouts! They also make great drinks and have a decent local draft beer selection that rotates. They have a calendar of events and host an Irish band on Tuesdays and trivia night on Thursdays. There is plenty of outdoor seating for the lovely days & nights. Check them out, you will not be disappointed!

Gets a bit loud at times later at night, and still holds on to that friendly family vibe you don't see anymore, in Decatur. Their beguiling beer/tap menu is bout 4 pages long by itself. The friendly informed barkeeps (EMMA & Davey) are more than happy to guide you thru the choices and give an intelligent recommendation. No joke. I always gets one of their plethora of stouts, with their soup o day, Veggie Empanadas, & the vicious Deviled Eggs / Spicy Fried Pickles. Yum. Locals and regulars are always there and friendly & kind. Easy Parking, lot at TMT. Made a friend at this place.

I headed straight for the bar. There were a few patrons scattered around, but it definitely was not packed. The first thing I noticed was how dimly lit the interior was. With my old man eyes, I actually had to turn on my phone flashlight to read the menu at the bar. I was happy to see the beer menu was very extensive with a solid number of food options as well. I was looking over the beer list and the friendly bartender came by. I advised I was in the mood for a nice sweet stout and he made a suggestion and provided a taster. I was sold and ordered a full size. I was leisurely drinking my stout and enjoying the atmosphere. The bartender made sure to check on me and make sure I didn't need anything else. I will definitely be back to taste some other beer and food options.

Two at the bar one and two at the tables. The decor is dark and moody , as a pub should be. It has a bit of mystery with music playing on a jukebox that you can access through an app. There are bicycles mounted in the front windows showcasing a sporty vibe with Atlanta United scarves and jerseys mounted on the racks and walls near by. Seat yourself is the motto as you enter. We sat in two booth and tables closest to the bar. The pub lost its adult only feel as locals with young kids arrived and sat around us. The Army Navy game was playing in a few tvs so that helped to hold the sports bar mode. We received menus and find it a little hard to see without our phone flash lights. Yes, it's dark in here there are no over head lights. ( use your phone) After looking the menu over I tried the steak and fries cooked medium- pure perfection ;along with the Cesar salad was great. I don't need to tell the locals they should show up I believe they are mostly seated and dining already. The food and service are exceptional.
