Pub 71

Rugged stacked stone marks the patio and entrance to this lively Irish-style pub. Inside, the feel is almost medieval, with dim lighting, dark wooden tables and snugs, tiled floors, and high ceilings covered in pressed tin. The hit-or-miss cooking features the usual pub grub favorites -- burgers, shepherd’s pie, chicken tenders -- while adding a few more sophisticated touches. The “Chef’s Signature Salsa” is a bright, cumin-spiked blend of black beans, roasted corn and avocado chunks, with cilantro and lime. Guinness-battered fish has a tasty coating that crunches like well-made fried chicken. “The Atlanta Flame” is a marinated 10-ounce ribeye, served whole and sizzling on a fajita skillet, with hot sauce and peppers and onions.
