Hand in Hand

This is a great local meeting place with tons of space, a huge patio. Just overall a great place to have a few brews and hang out. Really cool vibe, in a neat area. Must check it out.

The patio is great for a sunny day or warm evening and gets pleasantly crowded inside on the weekends. The service however on the patio is horrible regardless of how busy it is. Expect to wait a significant amount of time before the staff acknowledge you let alone take your order. The food is also dissapointing. My fish and chips were cold and felt like they had been cooked in advance and left out on the counter. I want to like this pub, they just make it so so difficult!

I'm writing this review just on their fish and chips alone. I love fish and chips and always order them in any restaurant that offers it. Hand in Hand has the second best fish and chips I've ever had. They have the best fish and chips I've had in the south. The salad that comes with it compliments the fish nicely. The fish is crispy and flaky. I would come back here just for it! Their beer selection is great. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they have a very extensive list. I'm sure it can get busy in here but every time I've gone, it hasn't been busy. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. Indoors, the entire environment has black wood everywhere with dim lighting. The outdoor patio is a dive bar. They have their own parking lot but it can get full and off street parking is available. The service was great every time that I've been there. They were knowledgable in beverages and food. If they didn't know something, they always asked someone else to get the correct answer.

Atmosphere was very welcoming. Beer selection on draft was 20+ with decent local selections and some well known classics. I went here by myself (Saturday night) and still had a good time meeting people on the big patio area. Mix of college students and young professionals. The older crowd seems to stay away as it can get pretty packed and noisy after 11pm.

It's all about the patio here! I'm sure food is great, but this patio is perfect for afternoon drinks, late night groups, and early morning brunch. I have had multiple good times at Hand-in-Hand and don't even live in Virginia Highlands. It'd be nice to have this kind of patio in Buckhead. Highly recommend this pub for all the occasions you can think of. I recall parking not being an issue here.

I recommend coming here mid day on the weekend to enjoy some cocktails and maybe a few apps. They have fusion drinks that are good and standard bar apps. They have a decent sized patio and a good amount of space inside. Usually there's no problem finding a seat and getting served pretty quickly!

Surprisingly good food and excellent beer selection in classic dark Irish bar setting. There's always a place to sit and the service is excellent. Also a really nice outdoor patio area although it's exposed 2 Virginia Ave so a fair bit of traffic. I prefer sitting inside in the dark and cool interior and sipping a beer with one of their daily specials. Speaking of$2 Burgers on Tuesday and Thursday is the best deal in all of Atlanta. They serve you a real Burger with onion straws and all the toppings. Hand in hand it's one of my favorite spots in the ATL.

Awesome specials everyday of the week. $1 fish tacos and $2 pork tacos AND $2 New Belgium Fat Tire every Sunday. Yeah, this is my new Sunday spot. Their hotdogs (Friday special) are very good as well. Polite and professional staff. Haven't been here enough to give it a 5 star rating yet but I will definitely be returning. There's no smoking inside but with ample patio seating, having a smoke after a great meal is almost always an option.
