Where can you find an Irish pub in Atlanta for football or dinner?

Midtown and Downtown offer two distinct evenings: football and a broad Irish-inspired menu at Fadó, or pub dining and private events at Meehan’s near the city’s central venues.

Atlanta does not concentrate its nightlife on one street. Midtown mixes office towers, housing, cultural institutions, and restaurants; Downtown, farther south, carries much of the arena, convention, and sports-event calendar. Choosing between the two districts is more useful than an undifferentiated list: Midtown offers a match schedule and the scale of a neighborhood sports pub, while Downtown gives diners a table before or after a show.

Fadó Irish Pub & Restaurant, at 933 Peachtree Street NE, publishes Premier League and other sports schedules, live-music events, reservations, and private-party spaces. Its current menu lists corned-beef rolls in boxty, fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, and Guinness mac and cheese with posted prices, alongside brunch, burgers, cocktails, and whiskey. Reviews of this branch praise food, the room’s layout, and watching matches; during a game or a busy evening, noise and service pace can change. The kitchen closes earlier than the bar, a useful detail for late arrivals.

South of Midtown, Meehan’s Public House occupies 200 Peachtree Street in a building historically associated with the Macy’s department store. Its menu pairs Reuben egg rolls, pretzels, short-rib chili, fish and chips, Shepherd’s Pie, and bangers and mash with catering and private dining. Reviews of this branch often mention attentive staff, signature dishes, and a relaxed feel. The pub lists events, online ordering, and kitchen hours; it also warns that closing can vary when downtown is busy, so check ahead on game, concert, or convention nights.

Midtown Alliance places Midtown between Downtown and Buckhead and describes MARTA access, including the airport connection; the best station depends on the starting point and final walk. These two pubs should not be treated as one walkable crawl: they sit in separate districts, and Atlanta traffic can make it more practical to choose based on the evening’s main plan. For screens, Guinness, and Irish-inspired food, Fadó is the sports-oriented option; for a downtown meal with group booking and event services, Meehan’s offers more hosting capacity. Check the calendar, kitchen hours, and availability before setting out.

Bottom line

Check current details and choose according to your budget, time and way of travelling.
