I stumbled into The EARL for the reason that I was in the neighborhood for an appointment and when my appointment was done I wanted to eat. The EARL was the only restaurant along the strip open at 4:30 on a Sunday. So why not?I walked in and seated myself at a table. One of the servers brought me a menu and took my drink order. The menu is a normal bar/pub type menu except I don’t recall seeing wings or a dip on it. Doesn’t matter. I was happy with the vegan/vegetarian options on the menu. Most places you go has just a vegan/vegetarian burger or a salad on their menu. The EARL offered a few extra items that was refreshing for the scene. I was in the mood for a burger. LolI got the black bean burger, vegetarian style. It was different for the sauce options to be salsa and sour cream, but it was enjoyable. For those who don’t like spicy hot foods, this was a good choice for you. I added Tabasco for a slight hint of spice. Paired my burger with the shoe string fries. I wouldn’t call them shoe string, maybe toothpick. When I think shoe string, I’m imagining a cluster of spiral-ish, super thin pieces of potatoes. Either way, the meal was yummy.The environment is a nice hipster area south of 20, for those who don’t want to pay for parking in the hipster area north of 20. Rock music and Shrek playing in the background. Writings on the bathroom walls. Wooden tables and seats with some outdoor seating. This was a nice environment.My server was friendly. The people I see working have this adorable hipster vibe to them: piercings, tats, clothes. Good team work too.
Came in late with my wife... paid $30 for cover, door guy says nothing he can do.... we just wanted to get out of the house tonight so okay...Band played five more minutes, didn't even have time to finish our drinks... dang..... door guy really shouldn't have even let us in....Bar manager made it right... he was going to do a 100% refund, but I just asked for $20 and a beer because I did receive some entertainment, just not $30 worth.They were super busy, and they could have easily told me to get lost, but they stepped up and took care of the problem. Bartender and bar manager are both rockstars, thanks!
Super rad little music venue with great food in a really cool, neighborly part of town. Plus there are several animal stores in the neighborhood so there was a ton of furry friends that stopped on the outdoor patio area to say hello! Daytime street view included because it was so quaint and chill.
Might just be the new place to go. Great food, the salmon BLT was delectable. Drinks aren’t really all that special; just the normal stuff. I guess that’s the best part, it really is just a normal dive bar. Comfortable and familiar.
I will NEVER GO BACK TO THIS NASTY PLACE. IF YOU WANT TO BE IN THE HOSPITAL OR DEAD EAT THAT UNCOOK FOOD. PATTIE MELT STILL RAW IN THE INSIDE. I ASKED FOR IT TO BE COOKED WELL DONE. OMG. RUN.
One of Atlanta's most iconic spots in my opinion. Great food, great service, great music, always a pleasure. I had their party melt and island salad last night and it was ohhh the best.
Every time I have been here it has been a wonderful time. But I must say the chefs in the back are freaking wonderful. Currently enjoying the Irish nachos and these are fricking delicious. Definitely go for the Irish nachos and the patty melt.
I eat here all the time. Love it, but this last time I went in and ordered some nachos and asked for no tomatoes and the bartender made a big scene out of my request, making fun of me to the cooks in the back because I didn't want diced tomatoes on top even though there's tomato in the salsa. What difference did it make? I didn't want cold diced tomatoes on my nachos. But he kept trying to make me feel stupid about it and arguing about how there's tomato in it anyway and laughing at me for wanting no tomato. Pathetic.
Went with my girlfriend to go see Reverend Horton Heat. Grabbed some food before the shower. Was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was!
Little hole in the wall bar, good service. Stavros Halkias was the headliner at the comedy show I went to, here. Will return for the service and the comedy.
