Marlay House Irish Pub

Nice little pub in downtown Decatur. Parking was free, limited, and a little tight. The restaurant had plenty of outdoor and indoor seating and it was spooky ly decorated for Halloween. We ordered the Goat Cheese Fritters this is what annoys meabout appetizers that are served in odd numbers: you have to be selfless and give up the extra fritter to your spouse or testthem to see if they have a generous heart. Or I guess you could just stare at the last piece for several minutes and see whowill get it first. So yeah...it only came with 3 fritters and being the generous person I am...I gave it to my husband. Iordered the Warm Brussels Sprouts Salad and OMG I couldn't stop eating it. Just don't smile if you're on a date or with friends,because the dressing is half black pepper, half vinaigrette. I had so many black pepper flakes stuck in between my teeth at theend of my meal...it was so embarrassing. Good thing I'm married and my husband sees me without makeup...so black pepper teethain't the worst thing he's seen of me. My husband ordered the Shepherd's Pie and devoured it like it was his last meal. Ourserver was friendly and attentive. Definitely will come back to try if I'm in the area.

We went out to Marlay House on Labor Day evening. It was busy for a Monday, but we were able to easily find seating at the bar. The service was great, and they gave some recommendations for drink specials that were a good match. It's a pub so you're notgoing to get fancy or bougie drinks, but they have a wide selection of Irish beers and standard liquor options. But onto thebig part: they probably the best Fish and Chips in town. It was perfectly crispy, flavored, and the portions were definitelyfilling. I think their tartar sauce is made in house too, which stood out to me. My partner got the the brisket sandwich andthought it was good as well. Though personally I would go for their Fish and Chips anyday. Overall great service, livelypatrons, and a good time. Hope to be back!

Wait staff was amazing and the food was decent. The smoked salmon was great as was the brussel sprouts. I ordered a Whiskey Blues and it was like a blueberry pancake. One of the best drinks I've had in a minute!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian/Vegan section specifically on the menu. My partner ordered from it and it was amazing.Parking: On premise parking!

3.4 highly recommend the brussels and the bread pudding! they also have a good drink selection. I just think it doesn?t quite stack up entree wise to some of the other Downtown Decatur gems, but it?s open late and does a good burger so we come backpretty frequently.

We ate outside and it was very pleasant. Service was quick, food was great. We each enjoyed our meals. Loved the inside which has a lot of character and Halloween decorations.
