Republic Social House

This place is a muse. It convinced me to take my poetry and photography to a new level. This experience was art by design : The Monster in the Corner I walked into Republic Social House alone, A black man with a camera, a heart made of stone, Not by birth, but by the weight of the stares, The weight of the whispers that lingered in the air. I chose a table, absent of friends, January’s chill felt like it would never end. A Caesar salad, a Georgia peach to taste, But the sweetness soured, left bitter waste. The waiter, polite but cautious and light, Moved as if shadows dictated his flight. Did my presence disturb, my lens offend, That I’d see beauty in what they’d apprehend? The chef, an artist, her creation divine, Ignored my praise, my voice, my time. Yet her salad stood tall, a fleeting shrine, A work of care that wasn’t hers, but mine. The eyes around me burned like flames, Disgusted murmurs, untamed disdain. A black man alone—a threat, a fear, A monster hiding in the corner here. Was it my camera? Was it my skin? Or the solitude I carried within? For to sit alone in society’s glare, Is to carry the burden of being unfair. I took no guard, I posed no harm, But still, they gazed with silent alarm. A man, a monster, a shadow, a thief, No art could erase their disbelief. And so, Republic Social House remains, A place of judgment, of silent pain. Where even a Caesar and peach in hand, Can’t make a black man less contraban

The wife and I had an amazing date night. The food and drinks were on point but my Brother Charles was a great ray of sunshine. His personality made us feel welcome and at home while laughing our butts off. I felt at home because he was from back home.

One thing I know about Republic Social House is that they never miss the mark when it comes to flavoring the food. It was my third time there, but this time it was during weekday lunch. I left just 2 hours ago and I had to give a shout-out to the woman who was juggling all the roles during this time. I'm sorry for not catching your name if you see this! She was the hostess, bartender, barback, and server, and she might have even been the cook, lol. She was singlehandedly serving multiple groups of people and not once did she seem overwhelmed or annoyed. She was so pleasant that even if everything else had been terrible, I would still go back because of her overall calm demeanor.

A friend recommended this spot. I was not disappointed. We started off with the Southside wings (mild and lemon pepper). They were delicious! I also ordered a burger with fries (forgot to take a picture). The burger was great! I'm a fan of hand cut fries, but this was not served.

This was our first time here. We opted for rooftop. We were assured it was warm and it was! The clear sides were down & secured with lots of heaters going. Maxwell took our orders quickly and checked back on us regularly. He was excellent! The shrimp were fried just right and so were the pickles. We will definitely be back.

I have previously had good experience here and the food was excellent. Tonight, I tried to call and place a to go order. Someone answered, said he would be right back to the phone. After 10 minutes, no one came back. I swung by to place the order in person. The hostess told me to place it at the bar. I stood at the mostly empty bar for quite a while before I gave up and went to the restaurant next door. Next time I'll probably start there instead.

Hubby and I love trying new places for date night Friday! After a quick google search we were on our way! The location is super convenient. Charles the host/server was an absolute joy! The food and drinks were amazing! We had the Orange Crush and the Ga Peach Mojito to start. For our appetizer we chose the fried green tomatoes. They were seasoned to perfection and delicious! We chose the salmon with lemon butter capers and green beans and the shrimp and grits! Everything was so beautifully presented and tasty! We finished with a chocolate brownie and ice cream. The food was well priced, the vibe was calm and inviting, and the experience was the best. Definitely put it on your list of “must try”!

I like this place a lot! Each time I visit the experience is the same, yet different. The servers are all so uplifting & kind. The other customers are all happy and full of joy... The food is always served quickly and tastes 😋 great. It has become my new hangout for drinks and a Great Meal💯🎶🍸

I luv the easy parking!! Come in and grab what I need at the bar!! Whether it be upstairs or downstairs. Drinks are always on time!

Great rooftop, great service, and solid food. Dropped by after walking through Oakland Cemetery and was pleasantly surprised by some of the changes to the menu they'd made. I do miss the older mozzarella sticks, but the tater tots are still amazing. There are daily drink and food special throughout the week. Hoping to stop by and see what the vibes are at trivia night soon!

One of my favorite brunch spots! The food is fresh and the staff is friendly. One of my favorite recommendations.

Food was great and reasonably priced. Everyone at table enjoyed Bang Bang Shrimp, fettuccine Alfredo, Philly cheese steak, wings, fries, and mushrooms/potato side dish. We will definitely come back! Tip was added in for group. Server was attentive and kind.

One of my favorite spots. The drinks are always good, the service is great ( I sit upstairs) and the ambiance is pretty laid back plus they have specials all through the week. Great spot

This is a convenient, relaxed bar in Grant Park. Really to me it's more Summer Hill but technically on the map it's between those two and Cabbage Town. Any who, my friends and I had been out all day and needed something to eat. This was my 1st time here but a friend goes all the time. AMAZING tasting bar food, friendly staff and not bad price wise. I ordered an enormous order of Nachos but they have everything from wings, cheesesteaks, chicken sandwiches and anything else you'd expect at a bar! They also have a cozy area upstairs with Fire Pit and seating. Stop by if in the area!

Best dive/sports bar in the neighborhood and the food has gotten much better. Service is fantastic too, would recommend to everyone as it's my favorite spot to hang out in Grant Park

We stumbled on to this place because we didn't have our GPS on to get back home. This is a place with a great rooftop patio! I had a flavorful blackened lemon chicken Alfredo and hubby had an awesome burger and Caesar salad! The food was great and the atmosphere was amazing. I just learned this place is in Grant park and our server Maxwell was great! Check it out y'all!

My friend took my for the first time 3 weeks ago I've already been back 3 times best lemon caper pasta I ever had. Alfredo was good, I'm just super picky about Alfredo sauce! Drinks were good. Shawn was a great bartender and server please give her a raise

One of the employees ran over my scooter with her truck and then parked on it. A kind person from a restaurant next door helped me find this person. she apologized to me with a big smile on her face. She thought it was funny. I will never go to this restaurant again.

Amazing service and food other places in atl are horrible with this but this is a amazing spot

Umami (impossible )burger with a side of kale and fig salad.Paired with Japanese whiskey. Great food amazing staff.. roof top bar is great!

New menu and whoever is running the kitchen knows what they're doing. Our server was great, too If you haven't been here in a while, it's definitely worth a visit. Went with a burger and fries - basic bar food - both were delicious. There are other more ambitious options, and next time, I'll definitely give the pasta or maybe one of the daily specials a try.

My friends and I love going to Republic for a laidback, lowkey Saturday/Sunday brunch to sit on the upstairs deck/patio area. Republic offers a dedicated brunch menu and mimosa specials (bottles of champagne and a carafe of OJ) until 2pm. The service can be a bit spotty, but the food, mimosas, and vibes are always great! One of my favorite things about their brunch is getting a few breakfast shots (a shot of butterscotch Jameson and another shot of OJ garnished with bacon). These things are SO good!! This is definitely a good place if you're looking to get away from the party brunch spots that Atlanta has so many of.

I don't know how I missed it but I'm glad I found it! Drinks, Music & Food 10's! The bartender was so cool and welcoming. Meet so new friends! Definitely going back near weekend

Liked the food and the people. Just stumbled upon the place by accident but it was a good choice.

Delicious food, no wait, gorgeous patio upstairs. The service was as great as the food!

Great vibes, great atmosphere, great food and an outstanding staff (Micah as awesome today on the rooftop bar!). Y'all should try it!

I've been coming here off and on for about 5 years and had not been since the pandemic. I was pleasantly surprised that they seem to have leveled up the food menu since my last visit. Food: The Baja Shrimp Tacos are fantastic, and they have corn tortillas now for the gluten free/celiac people! Hip hip hooray! You get 2 medium sized tacos and a side (salad, Caesar salad, fries, sweet potato fries, etc.) I forgot to take pics before I devoured it. They stuffed the corn tortillas with big juicy jumbo shrimp, cabbage, and remoulade sauce. The double corn tortilla shells stayed intact and were tastier than usual. The side salad (without croutons) wasn't anything to write home about, but that's not surprising. Apparently they have $3 tacos on Taco Tuesdays. Atmosphere: feel like an old person saying this, but the TVs are always really loud. It's less annoying when the game is on and your team is winning! (Go dawgs!) However, it was hard to hear anyone except the people sitting right beside me, and the gentleman at the end of our table was kind-of left out of the conversation. Service: Our server was very helpful and attentive.

Came to Republic to watch the game. I walked in and was able to seat myself at an open booth. There are plenty of TVs all around the establishment so there was no problem keeping track of the game. It's your normal bar atmosphere, lots of people, noise and the smell of fried food. I will say service was a bit slow and perhaps it was because there was practically two servers covering all of the tables downstairs. Initially the drink order was incorrect and took a while for that to be corrected, but it's a pretty busy bar so again I'll try not to be too critical. The food was the best part. The queso is finger licking good. Literally there wasn't anything left in the bowl except for what couldn't be scraped up by my tortilla chip. The lemon pepper wings were well seasoned and the French fries came out piping hot. I will say that I did have to request napkins, ketchup, and plates which should've automatically been supplied so they should work on making sure customers have what they need, other than that good food, decently priced to watch the game and socialize.

Decided to check out Republic for a Sunday brunch. They have a rooftop area which is where I sat. I know in the spring/summer/fall the rooftop seems like it would be idea. I enjoyed the fact they had $15 mimosa bottles and they bring out the juice you want. I ordered the hot chicken biscuit that had a fried egg and bacon on it. It was really good! I also ordered a side of potatoes which were good as well. I like the fact they have tvs all around so you can watch the football games. Overall, this is a good brunch spot and will come back.

Such a hidden Gem ! Wasn't the prettiest day when we went but we enjoyed nice mimosas , the bottle of champagne was only $16! That alone sold me on this place . Nice rooftop and the food was delicious! I got rosemary garlic fries and classic burger . next time i'm getting the pasta , it looked so flavorful and tasted heavenly

This place has GREAT music and GREAT servers. Yes it's FCFS because of Covid but the food was awesome For a appetizer we got the loaded queso. We are from Texas so it's hard to beat.... but it is awesome. Peppers, meat, and queso!! We ran out of chips and they happily refilled. We also go the fried pickles! They come out in so ears and heavily breaded but they are awesome. For dinner I got the steak cheese steak and it was very good! Bread, steak (or chicken), peppers, and cheese.

We stopped in for a snack and a drink and really enjoyed this spot. It was super packed for a football game, but our food came out quickly. We ordered nachos and they were delicious. The bartenders were nice and checked on us regularly. We were able to park free behind the building. I would go back to this place again.

Pros: drinks fine, rooftop is nice Cons: food is not good, service isn't good, little parking

This restaurant is a casual environment with a nice size bar & Flat Screens. We went for Taco Tuesdays. The location was not crowded, they are practicing social distancing, the staff were all wearing masks. I didnt see hand sanitizer, however, honestly I dont look as much because I carry my own. The server was very attentive making sure we were satisfied. We ordered drinks and he made a couple of suggestions. The we ordered food which came out quickly. The food and drinks were very good. I'd definitely would go back & would be a location I would suggest. Price Point - items are under $15 Parking: Located in the back if the restaurant as it is located in a Work Live type location.

Went here one Saturday night with 2 family members about 8 pm. Parking wasn't easy as the lot behind the building was completely full so we had to find street parking a few blocks away...no big deal. We walked in and the ground floor was pretty uneventful. We wanted to sit outside because, ya know, pandemic and all, so we made our way upstairs. The woman who greeted us told us to seat ourselves, so we did. The bar upstairs is certainly louder than downstairs with more people and the music bumping, but it wasn't too loud, it was reasonable. After a few minutes, our waitress came over and greeted us and took our drink orders. We asked for a drink menu/beer list and were told they don't have one, we have to look at their website...okay, that's weird. Our waitress was a little on the slow/strange side as it didn't seem like she knew the menu very well. I asked her what was in the side salad and she said cucumbers, cheese, onion, lettuce, tomato...I said croutons? She said no. Side salad arrived..no cukes and had croutons. No biggie but know the products you're selling! She was nice, service was good and the food was great. I had the Turkey club and salad. Our waitress called salad dressing "sauce," so that was weird. Overall, good experience and I will return for sure, no complaints!

My boyfriend lives right down the road from here so we go fairly often. We mainly only go for the drinks which are pretty good. They live up to the environment of the place it is. I've had the food a few times...Nothing amazing but not bad. Fun little spot to grab some food/drinks then watch the game

I've been here several times I have to say food wasn't bad but alcoholic drink was juice. Unfortunately one bartender it's rough out here. We had wings too just low number on alcoholic beverage

Rude bartender . Dirty dishes and glasses all over the bar ... took 15 mins for us to be greeted with the dirty dishes still in front of me. Finally cleared the bar but didn't even wipe it down. We just wanted 2 quick rounds (me bartender of 10 years) my boyfriend( a chef) so it's bad enough we already walked into this establishment thinking because the area we'll receive some GOOD service ... but instead after placing our cocktail order she's taking shots and closing tabs and chatting.... How ? Can you not multitask ? Or at least start your new guest? First time there will not be back truly sad

I ate here twice and am not dissapointed at all looking to come back again. Met Micah here and he is honestly the GOAT had good conversations with him very friendly! the food is absolutely great!

I fell in love today with this establishment! Where has it been all my life?! I guess its been right on memorial drive and we've been passing like strangers in the night! We went for brunch and unlike all the "popular" brunch establishments, there were people there but no line no waiting!!! A party of 13 sat down right away and broke bread, well biscuits and didn't feel rushed! Our server was so pleasant and patient and never broke a sweat. She engaged pleasantly with our crazy party and was very attentive. I can't remember her name but she was from Nicaragua. Now for the food! I think our party of 13 pretty much selected most of the menu items. EVERYONE enjoyed their food and didn't feel robbed afterwards because the prices were so good! I had the french toast sticks which came with regular and chocolate syrup ummm yum!!!! Then I had the steak and eggs breakfast! Ummm delish!! Thank you for understanding medium rare steak! And those breakfast potatoes gave me life! I splurged and got a side of bacon! It was not that flimsy, cheap bacon but the GOOD thick cut stuff! My taste buds were definitely in their happy place today! I will be back for dinner next time. I need to check out the regular menu and partake of more adult beverages!! Oh and i can't wait to check out the patio when the weather changes!

Excellent bar! High-end and well-executed gastro-grub! This place has it going on---friendly staff, great vibe and plenty of TVs to enjoy the game. Rooftop is fantastic! 5-star bar!

The location was nice, parking okay, food fresh and hot but damn it's hot on the rooftop eating area!!!!

Been living in the neighborhood for over 10 and use to be my go to spot. Drinks and food are overpriced,I know the price of food went up but the cost is a big difference. The chairs are awful don't even have a back. The vibes are different not the friendly bar that it use to be. Definitely not for the people in the community.

Service was terrible and slow..... Came to watch the Hawks game on Sunday and half of the menu was sold out.. Took forever to get drinks to the table.... The server Alex she kept coming by to the table to check on us without bringing anything we asked for... Super disappointed in the overall service but once we got all the food and drinks then my party and I just watched the rest of the Hawks game..

We hosted a party for our friends engagement. The staff went ABOVE and BEYOND to accommodate us. The food was DELICIOUS, everyone keep raving how great it was! Hosting a party can be stressful, but from start to finish the staff and owners were attentive to all details which made for an amazing experience. Thanks again to the amazing staff and owners for helping create a great party!

Being new to the neighborhood, we had earlier scoped out Republic Social House for use as a hangout bar but they were blasting music in the downstairs bar. Hard to chill in that setting. However, after coming here to enjoy the rooftop section, we noticed the downstairs bar was quiet. Depends on the bartender, I guess, as it does at a lot of places. Draft beer list is a little thin as compared to most other places nearby, such as Augustine's, but you can find a beer. You'll also likely be able to find something on the menu that works for you. Sandwiches, salads, burgers, flatbreads and a wing special after 6 on Mondays. In general, however, Republic Social House is not vegetarian friendly. - Chicken Philly - OK, a little bland. The sandwich is decent-sized, which is to say not huge. - Broccoli cole slaw - surprisingly tasty. Some might say too much mayo. Not me. - Tots - solid example of a side that everyone seems to be doing well these days. - Margarita flatbread - OK, could use more tomato. Service was great on the rooftop. Our server was on top of things from start to finish. At first, we started to take seats at the roof bar but the smokers drove us away to one of the shaded bench seats (after moving some tables and chairs that were not set up properly). Unfortunately there was a guy near us that thought smoking a fricking cigar in a restaurant setting was acceptable. The rooftop is nice but not as nice as Six Feet Under's.

Republic Social House is my go to spot for good food, vibes & drinks. My friend & I came across this place in 2021 on her birthday! We always go for the Southside Wings, fries & Casamigo Blanco Margaritas!!!! Rarely have we been disappointed!! It was a bartender that use to work there lol our nickname for him was the "Kool-aid Man" because his Margaritas was so good, couldn't taste the alcohol, had the right amount of sweet & tart but when we stood up yeap insert the liquor lol. Well this past Thursday we came in & there behind the bar was John Paul, now nicknamed "Kool-aid Man 2.0", yall those Margaritas was top notch & got the job done!! But most importantly his customer service, professionalism & personality was excellent!!! I love this place!!

I'm sure that this place is good for drinks...however it was just an ok lunch spot. Parking can be tricky as the the parking lot is small and used by other businesses. The service was average and the food was pretty basic. I ordered the Bistro Salad. I really liked the pears (canned) and walnuts. I haven't had pears like that since elementary school so I was really excited...but that couldn't make up for the rest of the salad. The chicken was flavorless and cooked just a little too long. The spinach was fresh out of the bag. And I probably could've done without the onions. This is definitely a drinking spot. I'm sure the other stuff on the menu is good after a few beers...just not so much this salad.

Republic Social house is a decent place. Nothing to brag home about. I went there with some friends and we had burgers and drinks. The drinks were kinda weak and watery. They need better ice than their current chip ice. I ordered a burger with some sweet potatoes fries. It wasn't the greatest burger but it wasn't the worst. Let's say it lacked something. The fries were good and crunchy. You won't hate your experience but you could go somewhere else and have a better time.

Great vibe and food! Very kind and attentive staffing! The place is clean, organized, and have great (daily) deals! Two floors as well! Great view and vibe up top!

A friend choose this place for a brunch meet up. Yes, this place serves up a mean brunch. Yes, I didn't know either since the category doesn't specify so. The French toast was divine. The cream filing and peaches added a unique touch to it. The mimosa special was nice: A whole bottle of champagne and OJ for about $10 or $12. Not bad at all. Service was great, and the space could accommodate a good number of folks. I think there is an upstairs that overlooks the street below, but we didn't sit up there since there was a chance of rain. There is a specified parking lot at the back of the building, but it is super difficult to find an open space. Most folks just finds a spot at the residential neighborhoods nearby. Oh. The Oakland Cemetery is right across from this corner restaurant with an interesting history.

It was just ok. To preface, we arrived at roughly 1:30 and brunch ends at 3. Guess they were ready to get it over with. The french toast sticks were really sticks. They were crunchy as heck. That's a no go. I could've got a side of milk and ate 'em like some Cinnamon Toast Crunch! My entree itself, Georgia Peach French toast (stuffed with vanilla cream cheese | warm peaches | powder sugar), was also just ok. It was dry. However, the 3rd star comes for the mimosasand the ambience.

Decided to check this place out on a Friday for an end cap of the week - we were told they had a happy hour, so we went. We found out that they do have one, from 3-6 but of course we showed up at 7p. We sat on the rooftop that looks out into the city and has plenty of room for big parties. We all ordered margaritas (a suggestion from our waitress) and she wasn't wrong at all, perfect blend of liquor and juice/mixes. I had the Nashville hot - ehhhhh it was ok. Slathered in sauce (which is expected) but it hardly had any flavor. I was slight disappointed but everything else was awesome so I'll still give them 4 stars. The wings were decent as well, not sure if I just caught them on a bad day - but I'll be back to give them another try. Prices are decent - and normal for the area and ambiance provided. Check them out if your in the area.

Amazing staff. A variety of great food. Perfect spot to wine down or meet up with friends.

5 stars because the wings are good af....Maybe the best I ever had. I tried the lemon pepper, the Southside (hot lemon pepper) and the sweet chilli. All three flavors were bussing. I also enjoyed the Casa Migos margarita. Definitely will be back for those wings!

This joint was a happy accident. an OOT friend and I had been planning on going to Six Feet Under, but at 6:30 p.m. the line was out the door and the wait was an hour. So we bailed and decided to walk over to Tin Lizzy's, and on the way stumbled over this place. I'm happy to say that it was great for what it is. We had the fried ochre, which I find in general to be an abomination so I'm the wrong guy to ask about that. I tasted it and it was only mildly disgusting, but I can appreciate that it was cooked and finished well. We also had the shrimp app which was very good, but more along the lines of what you might order from a Chinese food joint. The entrees were way better. I ordered the Nantucket flatbread, which was AWESOME. But the star of the show is the ambience and setting. it's an excellent and cool alternative to Taco Mac or Hudson Grill when you want to catch a game. Looking forward to going back very soon.

We went on Saturday about dinner time. It was pretty empty. Usually not a great sign, but... We went upstairs and waited for 15 minutes with NO SIGN of service. Not impressed. Probably understaffed. We went downstairs. Chris at the bar and Sophia waited on us fairly quickly. They were really nice. Food came in a while-Appetizer and meals all at once. Fried Cheese sticks were not edible. Weird spices with a bad kick. I should have sent them back. Hamburger was pretty good with tots. Lots of food. Quesadiila was good, sweet potato fries were not hot. So a pretty uneven experience and it took kind of a long time. In all, I would probably not return. too many downsides. Also hard to park. Management should spy on 6 Feet Under. They were full and had people waiting.
