THE GRANGE PUBLIC HOUSE (PUB) NOW OPEN


We’re from Dublin, Ireland. Naming our pub The Grange connects our Irish heritage with our current home, Atlanta.

Inside photos here.

In medieval Ireland, the Grange, located in the monastery, was the center for food and beverage production for the monks and local town’s people. Just like the kitchen of the modern home, The Grange became the hub of social activity in the community – especially when all the hops and barley (and of course beer) was stored there. There are many Granges in Ireland, and now there will be one in Decatur, Georgia – a gathering place that will offer excellent food, beverage and conversation – the social hub of the community. And just like those of us who have made the move to Atlanta, The Grange in Decatur will stay true to its Irish heritage while being contemporary and progressive.

Another incredible connection is that one of the most famous Granges in Ireland, in County Meath, supplied the Hill of Tara, which was not only the capital of Medieval Ireland, but also the inspiration for the family home of the O’Haras in “Gone with the Wind.”
