"Named for Father Thomas O’Reilly—an Irish Catholic priest in Atlanta during the Civil War who’s credited with saving several Atlanta churches, city hall, and the courthouse from being burned during Sherman’s March—Thos. O’Reilly’s Public House will replace Meehan’s in mid-February; new owner Butch Elmgren says he plans to retain staff, keep a similar menu, and add a few new entrees like a ribeye while expanding whiskey and beer selections." - Beth McKibben
