Looking for a great location to celebrate Saint Patricks Day?  Decatur has multiple options for consideration.

The Marlay House (Formerly The Grange)

Tim and I first visited this family owned and operated Irish pub restaurant last fall just before a high school football game between Decatur HS and Lovett.

We had a delightful pub inspired meal.  No doubt they will be rolling out a plethora of Irish treats for Saint Patricks Day.

Enjoy an authentic Irish menu and Irish music as you sip your Harp. 

(404) 270-9950 www.themarlayhouse.com

James Joyce Irish Pub

Dropped in the James Joyce Irish Pub after a swim meet in Avondale.   We had a great pub meal and the atmosphere is great.  Fish and chips were our choice but lots of options.

How could you not love an Irish Pub named after James Joyce?

Be a Dubliner......enjoy your Saint Paddy's day at the James Joyce Irish Pub.

Mac McGees

Never been there but folks on Yelp are talking it up. Newest spot of the three.  Its on my got to go there list.

MY PLANS for Saint Patricks Day

I am hoping the luck of the Irish will be with me as I put a corned beef purchased at Kroger on the English Home Range.  I plan to serve it up with boiled cabbage and some Harp my good friend Walter Dupre left at our home over the weekend.

May the luck of the Irish be with you this week.
