On the Grid : Bantam Pub

"Designed and built by the pub's owner with a wonderful smattering of tactile and unassuming architectural materials, this spot is eclectically awesome and ingrained in Old Fourth Ward culture. Sitting by itself, it provides a hangout oasis that is living-room-comfortable, and has both a great bar and down to earth menu. They encourage anybody and everybody to stop by and stay awhile - slash - for as long as you could possibly want. Bantam Pub is a tried and true neighborhood spot." - Steven Johnson Studio

We went for Sunday brunch. And it was a solid choice. Everything was pretty basic that we got. We ordered an omelette and a frittata. The best thing hands-down were the sweet potato fries the sweet potato fries in themselves or solid five stars. They’re salty and sweet and just phenomenal. Everything else was just mediocre. Unfortunately the server was a little rude as well and made us feel bad for asking for more coffee. Other members of our table ordered their famous pancake with me in it, but nobody rode home, saying it was super super good. I would go back just to have their sweet potato fries though.

The food here is absolutely delicious and the atmosphere is great - i love all the lights! - it seems most people come here to drink and socialize. They recently redid their website and seems like they got in new management. The worst thing about bantam is the slow service. Last Friday we went there, it was about 1 hour 20 minutes before our food was served - however, they had good service recovery and offered us some complimentary fries to snack on while we waited and a free beer. Cheers to that! The last several times it does seem like the service has gotten better. My go-to is the Bantam Chicken sandwich- literally my favorite chicken sandwich from anywhere I’ve tried in atlanta. Their fries are also killer - super crunchy and flavorful! My husband got the Mac n cheese entree with fried chicken and he said it was superb!! The Angus burger is also very good. We didn’t care too much for the shrimp tacos just because it seems soggy and be much better with a crispy crunchy taco shell versus the soft taco Highly recommend the food here - it can be a bit slower Service to get your food.

We've walked by here many times over the years to get up to the Beltline, but today was a good day to stop in. The beer selection is fair. We split a Cuban sandwich, and I couldn't even finish half. It's a a hearty sandwich. We loved the chill, neighborhood vibe of the place. We don't have that in the burbs. I'm sure we'll be parking on this street again, so I'm sure we'll be back.

I forgot how much I love this place! Delicious reasonable priced food, including a wonderful brunch on the weekend, and good craft beer selection. Staff is attentive and friendly. Definitely a locals hangout full of regulars. Highly recommend stopping by, as it's just off the beltline.

The food was excellent, but they have to address the fly problem. We had brunch here at 1 PM this Sunday. The staff was pleasant, our food came out pretty quick, and the portions were huge. I had the chicken biscuits which was actually biscuits with a chicken breast topped with gravy and an egg. It was a lot of food that was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Another friend had the Bananas Foster French toast, which was also amazing and a big potion. We left stuffed! My only complaint was we had to battle flies during the entire meal. I hit a window sill swatting a fly and that kicked up some dust, which also wasn’t great. Point being, the place was oddly empty and it shouldn’t be based on the food. I’m thinking maybe it’s the flies because that’s giving me second thoughts on returning.

The veggie burger is GREAT and so are the fries! The pimiento cheese and crispy onion make it delicious. Great drinks too!

I enjoy coming to Bantam Pub. The atmosphere is great and the service is always amazing. We recently went for brunch. We arrived around 2 and were seated right away. I ordered some mimosas ($7) and I had the andouille sausage omelette ($11). Everything was great. I will be back.

This is such an underrated spot!! I was meeting a friend for a late lunch and they suggested this place which I'd never heard of. Parking wise, there's a small lot behind or you can find free street parking nearby. It's seat yourself inside and our server was super attentive and friendly, checking in on us consistently. I just had a Tropicalia, but they had lots of interesting beers on tap which I appreciated. I loved how varied the menu was too! I got the Bantam Chicken Sandwich, and my friend got the Lamb Burger. The chicken sandwich was PHENOMENAL. I LOVED the jalapeno aioli that was on it and the chicken was super tender and juicy. The sweet potato fries I subbed in were also perfectly crunchy. I also tried a bite of the lamb burger and that was also delicious. Overall, very casual and easy spot for lunch and can't wait to go back!!

My friends and I came here before attending a festival 7 min walk away. A lot of people had the same thought process as it was already almost at max capacity by the time we arrived on a Saturday afternoon. We got to share their large pretzel and sweet potato fries. The pretzel was huge, fluffy and chewy. My pretzel craving was satisfied especially with the queso dip. Fries were crisp, sweet, and salty! For entrees we tried their Carnitas tacos, Chicken Cesar salad, Angus burger, and Lamb burger. Everyone was happy with their choices since everything was prepared and seasoned well. The tacos I had were only two but they were pretty jam packed. Overall, we had a good experience. Service was slow but that was because they were very busy and barely staffed. Would come again if in the area!

I just really like this place. It's a neighborhood gem with quality food and pretty reasonable prices! I went there for brunch on Sunday and had the Cakey Bakey pancake and eggs. It's not just a regular pancake, but I won't ruin the surprise for you!! My only "complaint" is that they have burgers with a bunch of stuff on them and my friend wanted a plain old bacon cheeseburger, which they told him was on the lunch menu which didn't start for another 30 minutes and that there might be an uncharge. It's just funny since they have all of those ingredients that are being used during brunch service anyways....

Again, I frequent Bantam often not only for the great vibes and food, but their random specials are something to behold! A while ago it was the best beef stew I've ever had! Tonight it was by far THE BEST pork chop I have ever had! Now, I thrive pork chops! I travel the globe. When I go to steak houses or nice restaurants, I order the chops. I can cook a better steak at home and find no reason to do so even on the client's dime . But I can never get a chop at home to save my life. So when I came in tonight and that was their special I was quite inquisitive since usually I get their wings. Which happen to be the best wings in town. And being 20 ounces?! You sold me! By far, was insanely good! I found myself cutting smaller and smaller pieces so that it lasted longer! And to add, I did not need a knife! Fork cut, it was that tende! The saffron rice, impeccable! The apple, raisin, almond sauce, delectable! All of it together was pure magic and made me somewhat giddy, now that I finally found the Prefect chop. I hope this becomes a mainstay on the menu it is THAT good. I am literally going tomorrow night to order it again just obviously case it never shows up again. If it's not this, it's always a special of the day that bewilderes me on how did this delicious can be whipped up by Tim and his team at a whim at Bantam!

First time here and the service was a bit underwhelming due to them being short staffed. There's free street parking and we sat outside. At first the bar tender said she was the only one and I had to go in to place my order as she was bringing other peoples food out and checking in them. I waited for my friend and went in and out and she was busy. Luckily, a Spanish only speaking buswoman was very kind and checked in on me periodically while I waited and again when my friend arrived and started us with water. I asked the last to take our order when she came back out to bring the other table some stuff and she did. Based on her recommendation I had the arugula salad, add salmon and it was good. My friend enjoyed her fried chicken but didn't eat the corn and only a few bites of the potatoes. Food came out hot and fresh. The fries were delicious too! Def a good spot to get some fries ($5). I asked for extra ketchup and got ketchup packets which was odd to me since it didn't come that way. I can't remember how much we spent in total but the food was good. It's a bit out of my way so can't say I'd return any time soon. Oh, the outdoor seating area has fl idling fans which is nice. The inside was a little too packed due to legs parties.

Just got takeout from here and this is our first stop in Georgia, this place was recommended by friends who are locals. I got the bantam burger medium well, it was delicious!! Perfectly salted , a bit heavy if you don't eat a lot of salt but for me it was peeerfect. Super savory and a little spicy but enjoyable spicy not omg I'm dying spicy! I also asked for jalapeño aoili it was divine. You can tell who ever is cooking cares and is making the food properly. My tiny little complain was there was no gluten free bun. At the end of the day it was fine because I don't mind eating a lettuce wrap, but it would be nice to have the option.

I had been to this bar many years ago and this was me Coming back after 5 years. It still has the old half a decade ago ATL vibe, Lots of character and neighborhood dive bar feel Rigjt next to beltline. They have 7-8 draft selections of local beer including guiness !! We went for dinner and tried the bantam burger and lamb burger. The lamb was definitely more flavorful but the bantam burger had a healthy serving of mushrooms and brie cheese. The fries are awesome too!Definitely try this spot out and I'll try to come back for brunch

I can't say enough about this Dining Out Passbook. It has really brought me to some great spots. This place is no different. I think it's definitely for the neighborhood though. When you first walk in there's no hostess area..it took a minute to realize it's seat yourself. There's no sign and no one to tell you that. Now if you're a regular and already know that it's cool but it's kinda awkward and even unwelcoming if not. Once seated though it's all uphill. Our server was sweet and attentive. We ordered the frittata, the bantam burger and the breakfast plate. I enjoyed the frittata. The veggies inside is what gave it most of its flavor. I wish I would have asked for the potatoes to be cooked more...I like my home fries crispy. My hubby thought the grits were good in his breakfast plate. My son hit the jackpot with that burger. I was looking at the brunch menu and didn't realize there was a regular burger option. We just got all the veggies on the side and I put them on my frittata. It was a good burger. I generally don't like battered fries but theirs were good. Customer service is really what bumped my star up..we had a misunderstanding with the bill (truth be told I misunderstood how they handle the buy one get one with the Passbook) but I really appreciated how it was rectified. I would go back to try those empanadas everyone on yelp is raving about!!

I came here on a whim and immediately took note of the cute exterior and interior decor. They have lights outside during the evening and have a really fun dive bar decor them on the inside. The restaurant is small, but when I went around 1pm, seating was easy to find. Our waitress Olivia was incredibly pleasant and very knowledgeable about both the food and drink menu. She also had a welcoming energy; her service added to the experience in a positive way. I had the lamb burger which came with a tropical marmalade and cheese, and it was delicious! The lamb is ground and shaped into a normal patty, so I recommend this to anyone looking to stray away from a classic burger but looking for a similar vibe. I ordered a side of sweet potato fries, while my friends got regular fries, and both were crispy and delicious. Lastly for dessert, I got the red velvet cake which was surprisingly moist and soft. I recommend this pub to anyone looking for quick yet super delicious food and drink

This place was awesome!! TIMMY our server was fantastic. The place had a great atmosphere to it. The Cuban and the chicken Sammy were to die for, quite literally we were obsessed. The sides were also phenomenal. I would eat here every day if I could.

I went there for the first time and received poor service from the beginning. I never got the opportunity to taste the food that brought me raved about from the night before. Here is the partial timeline; 1. I walked in, never greeted. 2. 5 minutes later my publicist walks in and we decided to sit at the bar 3. never greeted, never provided or offered a menu, drink, etc. 4. My publicist asks the patron sitting to her left if we could look at her menu 5. The bartender (never received a name or hello) speaks and asks everyone but to only 2 black females at the bar if they needed anything, are you good, can i get you anything else, are you ready to order, etc. 6. Publicist has to say "excuse me can we get menus please" Needless to say there is a lot more that took place but will not be disclosed publicly yet as I have called back immediately following to file a formal complaint and have been waiting 2 days now to hear from the General Manager or above. The negative, hostile treatment from the staff made the ambiance terrible for me. Just as dark as the decor and lights in the establishment and bathroom, so is my overall outlook of this establishment. I do not feel it is a place for my kind to patronize.

A great little place to stop in and grab a quick drink! Stopped here before the Atlanta United game with a friend and it's quite the little pub. Beware the parking situation isn't great however the bartenders are amazing. The keg ended up getting tapped and the bartender took care of me with another great recommendation for a great price. Highly recommend stopping into to grab a drink.

Back to @bantampub! @bantampub was perfect for my late dinner. I've only been to the reyfor brunch so, it was exciting to try their dinner menu. Thanks @diningoutatl, my friend and I were able to take advantage of the BOGO entree special. To start, we ordered the Chicken Empanadas and Crispy Shrimp. The Empanadas were HUGE and the Shrimp dish was served over cream corn. Interesting yet yummy combination. I really wanted a burger and I looovveee mushrooms so the Bantam Burger was a great choice. I removed the Poblanos ( I don't do spicy) and added bacon. So good! And the Seasoned Fries Hannah was a great and attentive server. I'll definitely be back!

Very relaxed and eclectic place in the old fourth ward district. Fairly small inside, but they have some outside seating when the weather permits. Have a handful of drafts, most local, but nothing very interesting. My wife and I split the Bantam Burger and the Bantam Chicken sandwich. I can only give the Bantam burger only 2 1/2 stars - the patty itself was not very big or juicy; too much bun and not enough flavor. The chicken sandwich was much more flavorful and had some nice toppings; I would rated at 3 1/2 stars. Went with the side of french fries and they were quite good. We visited on a cold evening and the inside of the restaurant also seemed quite chilly. This seems to be a nice, neighborhood spot to grab a quick meal and a drink.

We came to Bantam Pub because of a 25% back deal on Seated and walked away liking this place. This is a great little neighborhood pub. They call themselves the "Cheers of Ralph McGill" and I could see why -- when we entered the restaurant around 6:45pm on a Tuesday, the bar was full with what looked like regulars, relaxing, unwinding, and having a good time with the bartenders and each other. This intimate, easy-going atmosphere instantly hit me when we entered. It was cozy, warm, and welcoming and I think this type of environment is what draws people to this place. It was really chill and laid back. There's plenty of free parking. They have their own lot in the back and you can park on the street. The pub has a low-profile look and it's small. There are two rooms, one with the bar and a banquette with some dining space and another room with tables and big TVs that are great for sports viewing. I guesstimate the first room can seat about a dozen people at the bar and another 18 at tables. The second room can probably seat about 35-40 comfortably. Additionally, they have patio and sidewalk seating and it looks like there's a separate outdoor bar off to the side. The ambiance is more old-school and traditional. Lots of wood. The tables were candle-lit and ours had a real flower centerpiece. I liked the colorful Christmas lights they use for decor. During our visit, I enjoyed the music which was an eclectic remix featuring many 80s hits. They had a decent drink menu with 10 beers on draft (half local), bottles, wine, cocktails, and whiskies. The food menu is elevated pub grub. Apps like crispy shrimp ($14) and hummus plates ($11), burgers and sandwiches ($11-15 each), salads ($7-9 each), entrees like fried chicken ($14) and hanger steak ($21), smoked wings (6 for $7 or 10 for $12), chili ($8), taco plates ($12 each), homemade soup, and sides like red pepper grits ($4) and loaded fries ($7). The homemade soups during our visit were bacon clam chowder and "Stewnami" (a seafood soup) for $8/cup and $12/bowl. There were also blackboard specials -- duck breast for $22 and chocolate cheesecake for $8. Brunch is served every Saturday and Sunday, 10am-2:30pm. We got an app and two entrees: * Pub mussels ($12) - fresh garlic, basil in a beer broth * Bantam burger ($14) - roasted mushrooms, sauteed onions, poblanos, Brie * Duck breast special ($22) - Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, pickled onion The food was good. The mussels were delicious. Good quality. The broth was delectable. I didn't taste any beer in it. Instead, it tasted almost like a spicy Thai coconut soup broth to me. It had a creaminess and milkiness to it. I loved it. It was relatively light too, which I appreciated. Oftentimes, mussel broth can be too rich and intense. There were 15 mussels in the bowl and they came with a side of bread (four slices). We asked for more bread ($2) to eat with the soup after we had finished the mussels. The Bantam burger was A-OK. We asked for it to be cooked medium. Not the kind of burger that will blow you away, but still tasty and satisfying. It came in a nice, manageable size and wasn't one of those gargantuan burgers that a lot of chains are serving these days. It was refreshing in that sense. The roasted mushrooms and Brie cheese were my favorite ingredients. The burger came with a side of fries and ketchup. The fries reminded me of Checkers fries in terms of taste and texture. They had that extra airy and crispy batter on the outside. Lightly seasoned too. Yum. I saw the special duck breast entree on Bantam Pub's Facebook page and then on the blackboard, so I had to get it (it looked good). A small piece of duck breast was cooked to what looked like medium rare, sliced into six pieces, and served on a plate with a generous helping of chopped Brussels sprouts and sweet potato, and topped with pickled onion. The duck was cooked perfectly. The skin was crispy and the meat was moist and tender. Overall, the duck was flavorful and gratifying. Lean, high quality, and full of umami. The Brussels, sweet potato, and pickled onion sides were ideal accompaniments. Mullany was our server and she was terrific. The main bartender lady was friendly too. TL;DR - Bantam Pub is a great little pub with good food and service and a comfortable, cozy atmosphere. I enjoyed our experience here.

I have been coming here off and on for a year now. My Loft is across from Ponce City Market, but I find 90% of the drink and dining options there contrived and overpriced. I much prefer Krog Street Market, or something like this small neighborhood pub. It reminds me of Neighborhood place in The East Village and West Village that I used to go to. The have good, non-pretentious food at affordable prices that is a step above basic bar food, but also doesn't try to over step its bounds in terms of complexity or price. I've had Mussels, Steak Tacos, Fish and Chips and a few other things here. I have not yet tried their Lamb Burger. So it is still on my list as it is known for it. I love that they have an Affordable reasonably high quality Malbec on the Menu. The Dona Paula is a good quality wine that packs a punch and I have ordered this by the bottle many times here. They have a decent whisky cocktail, and carry Brooklyn Lager on Draft. People are always friendly here, and it is non-pretentious. My kind of place to catch a game or spend a few hours on a leisurful weeknight.

Decent gastro pub fare in OFW! ++. Ambiance is relaxed, clean yet rustic pub in OFW. This pub is divided into 2 small rooms...1 with a bar and and the other with just tables and TVs. Both rooms are filled with natural lights through many windows. On warmer days, there are relaxed seats outside. Chill neighborhood vibe. ++. Food is scratch made gastro pub fare. My friend and I split a lamb burger and a bantam chicken sandwich. They were both better than each of us expected! For sides we both substituted vegetables in lieu of fries. My friend's green beans were perfectly al dente and my Caesar salad was one of better ones in Atlanta. +. Price is reasonable low teens for most sandwiches. There is a small up charge for side substitutions. Ours were $3 each. ++. Service is prompt, friendly and attentive! +. Parking is free private lot and street. Overall, a cool little pub in OFW with very decent eats!

We came to watch the final four. Drinks arrived 20 minutes after ordering, food an hour after that. I ordered the tacos and sweet potato fries and my partner ordered the steak. Both items were served cold. Tacos were inedible - tortillas were all split open with barely anything inside. Server came once to check in on us. Asked three staff members to turn the game back on, as someone decided to put the Hawks game on instead, with two minutes left in the Kansas game. One server responded, "Someone else already asked, so stop asking." Disappointing food. Disappointing service.

Pretty good overall. Stopped by for brunch. Grits were good. Frittata was good but needed more seasoning or flavor. Other person in the party had an omelette and grits that looked good.

I've been here twice, once for dinner and again more recently for brunch. The food has been wonderful each time! The shrimp tacos I had were perfectly seasoned and had a very fresh slaw on top. For brunch, I had an andouille sausage omelet with hash and my gosh - it was better than most of the brunch places I've been to. Bantam pub is a hidden gem. My boyfriend had another omelet with grits and he finished the whole thing. Great service and great people there. They are safe with covid precautions as well!

Top notch for a local neighborhood bar. I'm here 2-3x per week. The food here is great. Highly recommend the chicken sandwich, French fries, hangar steak and the salads. They frequently have specials that are fantastic. Service here is next level. Kyle is a bartender that makes you feel like a long time friend. Definitely come here for drinks and a bite.

I love Bantam Pub! I usually come here when I want to have a chill night out with good drinks and good food. It's really fitting for just a variety of occasions and they are open late. This has become my "MacLaren's" even though I live 10 minutes away. And free parking on the beltline? A thousand times yes. They have a huge patio which has come in handy during covid. Even if you're outside, you still get table service and they are really good about checking on you. Everyone is so nice. The food is not your average pub food, it's better. Definitely get the calamari! The burgers are also amazing. The loaded fries are listed as a side but the portions is huge and great for sharing. I have not ever had a bad thing here. And they also have brunch! Basically, if you're looking for a chill fun pub with good food then Bantam is IT!

The hubs and I wandered here during Atl Burger Week not knowing what to expect. We ended up learning that bantam means small -- which the restaurant is quite so. And psst. We also learned that they have brunch. A gentleman stopped by to ask about our experience, and he was friendly. He informed us that aside from the brunch menu, anything on the regular menu was available for ordering. He also seemed surprised at and hoped that the burger was good when he brought it out to us. I guess he hadn't tried it. :/ The angel burger was the special for the week; it was good but messy to eat though. It had mustard BBQ sauce and crispy bacon pieces. The sauce simply spilled all over and made the burger sort of soggy. :( The actual short rib, brisket, and chuck burger with crispy onions were fine if the sauce was lessened. The side of breakfast potato sides from the brunch menu was okay, but it was quite small and a tad expensive for the portion. Aside from the brunch side selections, their regular menu didn't seem to offer any sides. :/ Why?! You're a pub... Though the restaurant may be small, there was plenty of outdoor spaces on either side of the restaurant offering various shading from the sun. There's a large bike rack for cyclists and street parking directly in front for drivers.

I give this place 5 stars because it's my boyfriends favorite spot, it's walkable distance from my place, and it's got such cute ambiance and it's a great spot to hang out with friends or colleagues after work. My boyfriend really likes the beer here so that's all I can base my drink review on since I don't enjoy drinking beer as much. I got the chicken wings here and I thought they were pretty good and a nice appetizer to compliment the evening. I really enjoy the outside seating here as there are multiple heaters to warm up the soul and string lights to brighten up the mood. Otherwise, I've seen the indoor seating get quite crowded and sometimes it's difficult to even get the bartender's attention because it's so popular.

I wouldn't have known that this place existed if not for ATL Burger Week and Inman Park Festival. We rode here on our bikes. It's about two blocks away from the Beltline and it wasn't difficult to find. There was a nice large rack in the front for bicycle parking. The owner? stopped by and talked to us for a min about our experience and the food. He was pretty nice. This place is pretty small. The angel burger was special for the week; it was delicious and worth the price of $5 for burger week. I wasn't sure if it was on their main menu. I like BBQ sauce but my wife is not a huge fan. It was messy but I enjoyed it. I got a side of breakfast potatoes for $4 with our burgers. The portion was kind of small for the price. Most of the time the price is reflected in the location and not necessarily the quality of the food. I didn't try anything else on the menu except for the limited time burger but it left a good impression. Would I come here again? Probably not. The location is far from my place and parking is difficult in this area. I'd really have to be in the area for me to visit again.

This little restaurant/bar has a neighborhood feel, indoor and outdoor seating, fresh flowers on the tables, televisions, and board games on hand. It airs next to some large apartment communities and right off the Beltline. I ordered, and enjoyed the Bantam chicken sandwich minus the bread: grilled chicken with bacon, mushrooms, onions Parmesan cheese, jalapeño aioli. It's typically served on challah bread. It was cheesy and would make for a messy sandwich. Be prepared with some extra napkins! The sweet potato fries side was just okay. My daughter ordered the Bantam Burger with Poblano peppers, caramelized onions, portobello mushroom, Brie cheese on brioche. The burger was cooked perfectly juicy medium, but unfortunately was bland. The burger needed some salt/pepper, and while my daughter loves Brie, it added nothing to this burger. I took a bite, and I agree. Look forward to trying other menu items on my next visit!

Fantastic brunch spot. The food was delicious and I highly recommend the fried chicken and biscuits. We had mimosas that were good as well and our server was excellent. He was very friendly and attentive the entire meal. Also there was ample outdoor seating and it was dog friendly. If you get the chance, you should definitely give this place a try!

We came for brunch on a Sunday. Not sure what it was but the waitress lacked a little motivation and personality. The food was good. We ordered two mimosas ($6). They were well made. I ordered the bacon and cheese omelette with egg whites and potatoes instead of grits. They were good. Nothing to rave about. The atmosphere is nice. We sat outside on a sunny day.

Very cute place and vibe! However, the cocktails were okay. I wasn't impressed. We ordered the chicken wings and probably won't order them again. Good place for a quick beer tho.

Stopped here for a quick bite and it wasa great choice! The patio is dog friendly and the fans make it comfortable, especially in the Georgia heat. My cousin and I ordered the pretzel appetizer to share and it was a delicious. I ordered the chicken sandwich with fries and 10 out of 10 recommend! It was so flavorful!

A "Bantam" is a type of chicken. Now that I have the facts out of the way, I'll begin with the review of my experience. We visited this small establishment on a rainy day during Burger Week. We noticed they had a small herb garden growing in the back right of the parking lot, super cool. The entrance was a little confusing because we didn't know if we should just have a seat or wait to be seated. We sad at the porch side with the plastic flaps over the windows. The patron's second hand smoke kept blowing through the gaps in the plastic, which was gross to me. The burger was good & came with fries & ketchup. It had some walnuts on it, which I was saving until last, but the server took away my plate before I was finished eating. We had been hanging out a while, because it was a rainy day, just talking & drinking. But, but, there were still fries & walnuts I wanted to eat! Anyway, this place is within walking distance of the belt line so I'd probably come here for a casual drink with an interesting crowd, but I wouldn't drive here because the parking situation isn't great. The lot is very small & you'll have to find street parking if it's full.

I went to Bantam Pub for the first time yesterday for brunch. I immediately loved the environment and how chill and low key it was. They offer brunch until 2 which is perfect for late starting people who say they are on the way but they are actually getting in the shower. The service was great and even accommodated for a guest I was with and made something that wasn't listed on the menu! The liquor, wine, beer selection is great and have plenty to choose from. I can't wait to go back and make this a go to place from now on! And that's the tea!

Bantam Pub is a great place small bar I'd describe it as a hole in the wall. I swung by for brunch after picking a random new place that was in the passbook (a Godsend). They have an outdoor patio and the weather was perfect. I had the fried chicken brunch entree which was recommended by my waiter. One word, phenomenal. The service was pretty good overall. I would definitely come by and check it out. I didn't appreciate the dogs on the patio (as the patio is small) and the owners didn't seem to have to keep their dogs in order and one kept coming up under my table/chair.

While this place has outside seating, they had NO COVID PROTOCOLS. THE WAITER AND STAFF DID NOT WEAR MASKS. The food was mediocre, but even if it were excellent I would not go back there until they implement health standards such as masks for ALL staff and social distancing. None of the other diners were being safe either, groups of folks sitting closely together and entering/exiting without masks. This must be some kind of anti-mask crowd. If you care about your health STAY AWAY!

Solid food, decent beer selection. Food is mostly American, though I usually find myself ordering the brats-which come with purple sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Casual environment, easy to just sit back and relax. Although the parking lot is small, there is ample street parking. Side note: saw Richard Sherman eat here once. Booo Seahawks.

Great little bar...and yet large because it extends itself into different other small pockets of spaces.... which makes more sense in warmer weather as some of the spaces are outdoor. The cave had a pretty and eccentric staff or maybe it was the dim lighting that made them seem this way. People were gathered in quiet whispers... some lovers eating what seem to look like food they were savoring, some others gathered as friends discussing perhaps the state of the world today over some hard liquor. Then there was the local guy who stopped by to order takeout while he drank a beer, and watched the continuation of the basketball game he probably was already watching at home. This place was definitely cool, and accommodating to many types of "needs".

My first time here, and I eat on the road a lot! And most places I eat don't really hold up the standards. But this place has gone above and beyond. The waitress was very kind, friendly, and really hot! To me she set the atmosphere for the place. Order was taken quickly and man oh man! The food was amazing! I will definitely eat here again if given the chance. I had the angus burger and fries and both were the best I've had in years! I couldn't cook that well on my own at home. If you are in the area, don't pass this place up! Good food, great staff, and the serve booze! 10 stars guys! Fantastic place!

I've been here a few yes for brunch. It's good value. They seem to always be out of draft beers. Meals are simple and well done. It's not fancy. I had a veggie omlet with breakfast potatoes and a biscuit for $10. It's nice to sit outside on a nice day. I hear the burgers are good. Review update. Came back and had the Cuban for dinner and it was excellent. Fries great too.

I'm afraid I might die here. It's a good thing I'm not diabetic. After over an hour of waiting, it then took 5 minutes from the time for the first plate to hit the table for the last plate to hit the table for our party of 6. Tapas style brunch i guess? Things only got worse from there when we were directed to self serve our own water. If your short staffed just be upfront so people can choose if they have the time and patience for that and avoid frustration getting taken out on the servers. This was a dumpster fire we won't be back.
