The Pub @ EAV

"With a new co-owner and a new head chef, The Pub At EAV takes over the former Elder Tree space in East Atlanta Village. The once-Irish-leaning menu now offers British pub favorites like fish and chips and Sunday roast." - juli horsford, jacinta howard

"East Atlanta Village’s The Pub is primarily a soccer bar but still caters to other sports. As a pub, the food leans Irish (think baby corn cobs, fish and chips, bangers and mash, and more), while the beer list offers local, national, and European brews. Brunch is offered on the weekends." - Henna Bakshi

"This East Atlanta Village pub features American takes on classic Irish favorites. It’s known for creating dishes that are both interesting and comfortable. Skipping the meal and heading straight to the bar? There are over a dozen European beers on draft and a full range of whiskey cocktails. This pub happens to be unmistakably soccer-centric, with soccer club scarves adorning the walls, including Atlanta United." - Denise K. James, Eater Staff

"The Pub @ EAV revamped the space formerly occupied by soccer pub The Elder Tree. And neither the name change nor the design makes much sense, seeing as the new interior looks like it was curated by someone who has never been to a pub. Green leather benches and trend-chasing faux marble bartops replace old wooden booths, and instead of soccer flags on the walls, there are abstract watercolor paintings. The Pub’s menu struggles to find its footing, too, with a hodge-podge of cuisines that don’t fit together. Sure, decent fish and chips (on a bed of disturbingly bad mushy peas) and a just-fine burger work for a pub menu, though a Viet-Cajun shrimp boil and lomo saltado are more head-scratching. Cuisine chaos aside, there are enough hits to warrant a visit if you want to watch a game but don't necessarily need typical game day food or a sports bar environment. Food Rundown ‘Merican As Heckfire Burger This burger overcomes its unfortunate name to be one of the better items on the menu. It’s juicy with plenty of cheese and a nice buttery bun. But if you’re after a truly fantastic burger, you’re better off with something off this guide. Fish & Chips These soggy potato wedges make us wish we could have more of the decent skinny fries that come with the burger. The fried cod pieces are tasty enough, as long as you ensure they stay away from the bland, mushy peas. Crispy Spiced Okra Chips If you like okra, these will be a win for you. They’re well-fried and seasoned with plenty of berbere spice. Cuban Sammich Poptart A savory poptart stuffed with ham, pork, swiss, and pickles gets points for creativity. But the bottom is too doughy to hold everything together. The Pub’s Scotch Egg There aren’t a ton of places in ATL to get a scotch egg, so we appreciate this hollandaise-drizzed dish being on the menu (especially since it’s a quintessential pub food). Order it." - Juli Horsford

"The Graveyard fits in just right in East Atlanta Village. A few neighborhoods to the north, and this type of place might attract the popped-collar crowd. But here, with its macabre name, dark interior, and a custom hearse parked out front, the Graveyard traffics more in tattoos and piercings than sorority rings. The big square interior bar serves strong drinks the whole night long, as patrons lounge on couches and chairs, shoot pool, and dance it out every weekend. The Graveyard features a full kitchen but its iconic status as EAV’s one true clar makes it more of an after-hours proposition." - Treebird Branding
