What Makes For A Great Experience At Irish Pubs in Atlanta?
There are a few things that make for an enjoyable experience at an Irish pub in Atlanta.
Classic Irish, Worn In Look and Feel
In Atlanta, the pace of development over the last few years has been insane, meaning there are many brand new buildings. The best Irish Pubs can take a new building and make it look like it has been there for decades. Choice of materials and decor go a long way to bring the homey, worn in pub feel.
Sports, Lively but Not Loud
Soccer, or fútbol is one of the primary pulls for watching sports in an Irish Pub. Other sports do just fine, I have just found soccer matches very enjoyable. Having a large space and large screen for patron’s to congregate around helps keep it friendly and the noise in one spot.
Excellent, Irish Themed Food
Even though most traditional Irish pubs are just pubs, no food. In Atlanta, food is a must. There should be many classic Irish dishes on the menu.
Irish Beer, Poured Properly
The wait staff should know how to pour a Guinness properly. There should be many international beers in selection, in addition to some local craft beers.
