The Whelan

Quaint bar with local vibes. Service started a little shaky. Not sure if it was because I arrived late to join a party of 8 but once someone from the party advised the bar tender I was with them I was served as though they already knew me. I only ate the calamari but it was definitely worth mentioning for bar food as I would give it a 4 out if 5.

For the location (being down the street from my friends' apartment), this spot was perfect. Totally walking distance.Good drinks, including their own locally brewed drinks, fresh fries and good wings. When I'm back in the area, and want some food (for happy hour or off the late-night) The Whelan would be a great spot to hit.

It a cool spot to pull up to late night. The drinks were good. We stopped by after leaving an event to play some pool. We had a great time. The service was good.

Ok whoever gave this place 1 star was 100% wrong. The service was fast and friendly. And this big south african glizzy was awesome!! You can't believe all these reviews. The place was hopping on a Thursday night.

Was looking for another restaurant downtown ATL, found it and it was closed. So, since we had street parking we decided to venture the strip and found a small pub with a nice crowd (for a Sunday) Whelan's. They are serving endless mimosa from 11-3pm for $15 and the locals we're taking advantage. We order the chilli tai wings, these were really delicious tender, juicy and flavorful also a Caesar Salad and a Whalen Salad with steak. Jenny our waitress was amazing 5ft 4 in of personality. Oh, did I mention that we had mimosas also. The ambiance is much like an Irish pub, loud (endless mimosas) but welcoming and friendly. Oh one note there is a 18% gradtudity on each order... nevertheless happy we stumbled into this establishment.

I've visited this place quite a lot when I go to visit friends in Atlanta. The bartenders are always friendly, there's decent music playing and with TVs showing news and sports. Heck I even got around to trying some of the food, the wings were decent - juicy and hot. I do feel like the drinks sometimes aren't potent but that could just be me, I definitely recommend

Came here yesterday afternoon with some friends to get drinks and play darts. It was a chill place. We came around 3pm on a Saturday and the darts were open. We got some drinks and hung out for a while. It started to fill up as the day went on. They have pool tables and board games as well.

Food made me Extremely sick!! Please pay attention to the wings!! Most are too large or deformed and unable to be eaten. Inquired about that and they let me know there was NOTHING they could do! Please use a different food distributor. Bartenders get an automatic 18% gratuity on every bill which makes staff very inattentive. Especially the tall young lady - always an attitude when asking her for anything.Would not recommend - please spend your $ elsewhere.

Great Buffalo wings! Im so sad, i forgot to take a picture, they were so good it slipped my mind but they're delicious and great size.And the waitress did a great job. Mrs. Jenny helped us while we were here and gets an A+ for service and hospitality!

My husband and I come here all the time! Bartenders JB and Jenny are the best! This place has THE BEST hand cut fries! And yummy selections on the menu that do not disappoint Ambiance is awesome and location is perfect!Plenty of free parking
