| A piece of the old Macy’s and the adjacent movie theater have been seriously reconfigured to give this Meehan’s Public House outpost its distinctive presence. The place seems procured lock, stock and barrel from Ireland, although some pieces, such as the antique flooring, came from south Georgia. The menu fields comfort fare from Mississippi fried pickles and chicken tenders to nachos to blackened salmon. Classic Irish touches include bangers and mash and Irish breakfast with soda bread, beans and black-and-white pudding served all day. Fish ‘n’ chips are okay, and offered in two portion sizes, but the tartar sauce is thin, although flavorful. Food 101’s famous meatloaf also is on board this menu, as that restaurant is a sister establishment. Desserts are few: a warm chocolate soda bread pudding is the best choice. Quaffs of choice are beer but there’s a good list of Irish whiskeys and single malt scotches as well. Also located at Sandy Springs, 227 Sandy Springs Pl., 404-843-8058; and the original in Vinings, in Vinings Station, 2810 Paces Ferry Rd. SE, 770-433-1920. |
