The Bookhouse Pub

Ok so I love Bookhouse Pub. It is just a fun chill pub on Ponce de Leon. They have a surface level parking lot that they share with MJQ and other business. I try to go on random weekdays so the parking is never too full. Their patio is nice on a sunny day. You get to see all the activity going on on Ponce but it's far back to where it's slightly secluded. You can order at the bar or they have servers that come to your table. Their food is cheap and simple. It's mostly burgers, sandwiches, etc. but it's good! I usually try to come when they have a pop-up chef to make the options more exciting. Service is friendly and the vibe is quirky. Apparently it is a Twin Peaks themed bar. Sometimes they have a DJ, which I actually don't mind because it's usually more chill music and not too loud (I'm old ok). I can always count on Bookhouse for a good time!

Came to The Bookhouse Pub on a Tuesday night for the Ganji pop-up. There is some set aside free parking for the Bookhouse Pub right out front, but it does get pretty full easily. My boyfriend and I were carded our front before getting seated. We got two beers and ordered our food very easily. Server was attentive. Besides the pop-up, not sure if they sell food, but they do have plenty of items on draft and etc. The vibe is fine honestly, but not really my thing. Kinda a grungey, run down vibe. Giving it 4 stars as service was good and was clean!

E X P E R I E N C E Came on a Wed night to grab a quick snack before mjq, as a table of two. It was 75% full inside and on the patio, where we had originally wanted to sit anyway, was 25% full. Patio has high top seating. Social distancing was definitely doable if on the patio and likely doable inside even if seating is full.F O O D Chili cheese fries $8: avg. Have had better. Tastes like your avg bar food. It's a good sized portion though. Redbull $5B A T H R O O MFemales has one stall, clean. S E R V I C E Our server was very kind and responsive. She checked on us often and made sure we got what we needed. Also she was very pretty and had amazing wavy shoulder length hair (not that it matters lool). She was wearing a mask but masks are not enforced for customers or employees.P R I C E18 incl tip.

Love this place my first time here and the waiter Ava was the best would definitely recommend. Food was fresh and hot

We've passed by this place several times trying to go to other restaurants, it always seems packed and seems to be a local favorite. Last night we ended up here for a late night bite. Due to the many bars/restaurants in the area parking was near impossible on a Saturday night so we parked on a side street and walked over. This place definitely lives up to its name. There's a collection of books perched above each side of the restaurant. The high top tables feature tree stumps instead of legs, which I found quite uncomfortable to sit at to be honest.I can't remember what our waitresses name was, I don't think she gave it to us, but she was very nice and offered her recommendations. The menu is interesting. The appetizers and sides are actually full sized meals and I'm not mad about it! We each ordered the wingy app (10 wings each). We ordered the sesame and hoisin barbecue. I preferred the hoisin bbq but both were A-OK in my opinion. I also ordered a side kale salad (which is not a premium side, btw) and was pleasantly surprised by how large and delicious it was! It was a simple salad. Kale mixed with radishes, carrots, and cherry tomatoes tossed in a delicious balsamic vinaigrette. Definitely recommend. I haven't seen the other apps, but if they're anything like what we had -- the serving sizes are definitely shareable and more than enough! I like that a lot. They also have vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian options on their menu.Would go back to try something different on their menu.

Staff is so friendly! Very lowkey spot with good food and great drinks! If Angela is bartending, get a mixed drink! She's so creative and always makes me something I love!

Cozy little place in a hidden little location. Limited but nice parking lot which is always helpful in Atlanta. Love the feel of the place- small, dark and wooden with low lights and art. Limited space but great for a cold night or cozy date with friends or loved ones. We used to go here for tiki Tuesday to get the free fun cup but I've since moved away from sugary drinks- they have a nice pink and liquor selection too. Pretty fair prices. The food while sometimes very fried and pub-like is very veggie friendly. Their burger is decent and I like the cheese plate, hummus and soups/sides. Tastes homemade. Service varies for sure.

My friends brought me here on a Friday night after I landed in Atlanta! There's not many tables inside so we did wait around 25 minutes for a table. There's also covered patio sitting, which is where we ended up. Prior to sitting down we hung around the bar and had some beers. They were tasty and served at the right temperature. To eat we shared an order of blue cheese chips. So damn delicious! I'm pretty sure the chips were homemade as well. On top of the chips was huge blue cheese crumbles, tomato, cilantro and bacon. It was so yummy I'm salivating thinking about it. MmmTo eat I ordered grilled cheese and added tomato. It was a very yummy grilled cheese. With the grilled cheese came fries and a thin tomato dipping sauce. It was so delicious and creative. Like grilled cheese and tomato soup...but a sauce instead of soup. Fries were good as well. Service was just okay, not terrible, but just okay. Prices are decent. For the grilled cheese, two beers and the chips it was only $20.

I am going to give everyone my honest and respectful feedback without being too harsh. I am big on respect and customer service, especially if someone is choosing to spend their monies in your establishment, I work in hospitality so here are few things that stood out to me. To the gentlemen sitting at the door greeting thank you for welcoming us in, it was a major plus but the service me and my team experienced after having an exciting night and getting amazing news, was beyond disappointing and downright uncouth. Where was the southern hospitality at this establishment with our waitress? I did not get the young woman's name but she was blond haired with black framed glasses. From my first interaction with her, she was sour and distasteful, which immediately turned me off. Don't tell me and I quote "You need to wait, because of you I'm going to forget all the drinks I need to put in!" Here is an idea write them down. Ma'am I'm asking for suggestions, and you are the waitress you're suppose to be of assistance in giving suggestions when patrons have questions, not seem as though you're bothered for people asking questions. While rolling your eyes behind your black framed glasses. Then to come back around and tell someone you're not going to have your bartender make a drink because it's about to close.. that is what your suppose to do during last call. Another pro, The bartender from what I gathered was very nice for giving me glasses of water for me and my friend! Then the courtesy speech at the end of the night was ok. But, I didn't like the DJ coming around demanding tips from everyone. It seem pretty tacky. I understand being paid for your artistry but not in that fashion. I started to give him some money, but then he got slick with his mouth and called himself talking about my outfit, which was not cool when your asking for money to get home. Jokes I get, I'm pretty humorous myself, but I wasn't feeling that. For me I will not be returning here, thank you for the experience, just a little tip be nicer and you'll get tipped more. Not telling anyone not to visit, maybe your experience would be better them mine. Enter at your own risk.Cheers.

A great spot for drinks and food! The servers are wonderful. The lighting is dim and cozy, I really enjoy the decor.
