Fado Irish Pub Atlanta

Soccer screenings, two levels, and a patio bar overlooking Buckhead make the pub a St. Patty’s Day staple. All manner of pints and the requisite Euro/American bar bites (quesadillas, sliders, baguette sammies) for washing down with ’em.

Cypress Street Pint & Plate Atlanta

This side street bar is an under-the-radar fave for comfort food, the occasional crawfish boil, and can’t-miss beer fests. Post-Halo Lounge nightcaps are a must.

Pub 71 Atlanta

Patty melts and potato leek chowder are a wee bit UK, but the jukebox, burgers, and patio are all-American bar scene.

The Standard Atlanta

A bocce ball court, glassed-off patio, and bar bites from edamame to peri-peri chicken raise the bar at this casual watering hole.

Publik Draft House Atlanta

Perfect locale for a post-Fox Theatre show cocktail or slice from the chilled dessert counter. Mammoth chalkboards boast pub plates like beef skewers, fried oysters, and wines by the bottle or glass.
