Awesome place. Went in tonight to kill some time before my next 'appointment' since it was on the way and I've heard good things from a friend who's opinion is well kept. Sitting on the corner of Brockett and East Ponce it's not in the greatest area, I suspect some people who make the drive here keep going if it's late at night. Armed only with my charm I felt I was safe though and parked towards the end of the lot, they share the same lot and building with a package store (a store that sadly has pathetic offerings) so there's room even on a busy night.
Going in it's very homely, you get the feeling there's a lot of regulars in here, and since it's pretty small too there's not a lot of random people coming in, you're close enough to get to know everyone quickly (I did just that at the bar). It's smoke free, well decor'ed, a little dark, and just old school bar feeling, you won't find any highbrow people in here. A few TVs are mounted in choice places for patrons to view and the bar sits pretty much in the center of everything, seating about 12 people. Tables are set up over the rest of the place.
Beer choices are surprisingly good here, both bottle and draft, and the bartender I dealt with is a beer person herself, knowing a good bit about each offering and making suggestions to those not sure of themselves. They have nightly and weekly specials as pointed out to me, but I chose to forego those and just get my staple, a burger with fries. It came out while on my second beer (served in an ICE COLD glass), but I drink fast, so it was on time. Burger was awesome, cooked right, good flavor, nice size bun. Fries were equally great, I asked for them extra crispy and they arrived perfect. Service was superb the whole time with the bartender discussing beers with me and checking in numerous times, I felt right at home and thoroughly enjoyed the stop. Now I need to bring the lady in. -

Deep in the heart of Clarkston, a magical pub awaits to suit all your needs and expectations.
Fairies serve overflowing pints and mermaids deliver delicious bar food to your elevated booths swinging among the dense vegetation that makes up this "jungle themed" gastropub where, whatever you want to eat is made from organic, locally sourced food from the Clarkston community garden.
Actually this is a great little place that has a good beer selection, decent food, and good service. Also, drinking bingo. Good times.
Next time when deciding on whether to go to Strokers or to this place, save your ones for a beer and a bite to eat. -

A good pub atmosphere with friendly staff is always nice. Throw in some of the most amazing food you have ever eaten and you'll never want to leave! Everything is fresh and delicious. Amazing steak sandwiches, Rubens, wings, and burgers. Great drink and food specials that change every day! Tacos on Mondays, trivia on Thursdays, cheap Bloody Mary's on Sundays. Did I mention half priced burgers on Tuesdays? Gotta be the best burger you've ever eaten - and for such a good price! Definitely gotta come here, and then back, and then back again!

We came here amongst much fanfare about the burgers so I was stoked to give it a shot. They have fantastic beer specials along with a good choice of craft beers which usually isnt the norm for a divey bar.
I had the burger which I thought was ok and my friends that really like it here said it was a bad night for the burger so ill def come back and try another. The wings really stole the show here, you have to get them with the signature sauce as they are fantastic and some of the best ive had in Atlanta.
The waitress was awesome and really accomodating to our huge group even splitting up checks for 20 people, wow!
They have a bunch of specials throughout the week and I cant wait to go back and hit up the rest of the menu. Brockett if you're reading, do a wing nite Ill be in there guaranteed once a week. -

We were celebrating birthdays for three of our friends. Brockett was able to seat all of us outside, which we preferred, very quickly. Below I've listed a few things...
* Great service! Waitress was very nice, always smiling and was able to handle our table of 15 very well. :)
* Delicious food...I suggest the wings or burgers.
* Nice drink selection...beers and a few specialty "summer" cocktails.
* Check out they upcoming calendar too...they have nights like "all you can eat crab legs". Nice.
Overall...it's a bit outside of the city :), but if you're in the area...you need to give them a try. -

I found the Brockett Pub through the reviews on Yelp just over a year ago, when I was searching for an alternative to Decatur. I wasn't sorry, and have been back nearly once a week, ever since.
I used to consider Taco Mac as having the best wings in Atlanta, but now I'm not so sure. The wings at the Brockett Pub are every bit as good, and they're more consistently good. Every now and then you'll get an order of wings at Taco Mac that have been cooked just a tad too long, but at the Brock, they're always just right.
The burgers are wonderful, and they have a few varieties of sausage sandwiches on the menu, as well. Wednesday nights feature 3-course meals -- each week of a different ethnic variety. The folks here put a lot of pride into what comes out of their kitchen.
They have about a dozen beers on tap, including some wonderful microbrews. The beer selection tends to be heavy on ales, but I'm hoping that once the cooler weather hits, the selection will include brown ales, porters, and maybe even a stout.
The Brockett Pub is somewhat small and there are pool tables in a back room. (I don't play pool.) The clientele reflects the diversity of the neighborhood in which the Brockett Pub is located -- blacks, whites, gays, straight -- and everybody gets along. I've brought friends from all over Atlanta to the Brockett Pub and all walk away quite pleased. -

Good times and drinks were had by al. We often sit at the bar itself, so I can't speak too much for service, but my bartender (is it Darren?) was awesome and made me two of his specialty cocktails (Pom and Ginger Margaritas). They were heaven on earth-- just ask the alki that rushes in after last call screaming " I just need ONE drink, please fit me in for ONE"
Someone call AA for your girlfriend. Anywho, the fries were OK, the wings were good (house sauce) and was pretty angry that I had to pay 50 cents for a side order of Blue Cheese with my order of hot wings. Who does that?
The place was OK, but I need to try their Wed night special. I'm mad I missed the all you can eat crab legs recently, but they have themed events all of the time. They twat so you can follow their twat for the special events and stuff...
Loving the fact that they have Bingo for BOOBS *breast cancer* coming up. Thumbs up for local support and for being the only local pub. -

Stopped in with a coupon, wife, and two critters in tow. They do have a high chair, and a booster seat, and it's pretty loud inside. Thus, it's not the typical 'family' restaurant, but it's okay to bring kids. They had a few tv's tuned to soccer, a smattering of diverse patrons.
I got the beef hotdog, wife got the corned beef ruben hold the thousand island gunk, also got mini corndogs for child.
It took a little while to get our food, but it all seemed made fresh to order. The hotdog was a tasty dog on a good roll with some crisp slaw, and a little chili. The dog was sliced in half and then grilled. Also came with shoe-string type fries.
They did not hold the 1000 island on the ruben, and thus wife was annoyed, but the sandwich was really good, and also came with fries. The corndogs were tasty too, maybe 1 inch pieces of hotdog dipped in batter and then fried. Excellent dipped in some mustard.
I chased the dog with a Yuengling. We don't get to these bar type places too often, but I must say that it was definitely above average pub grub.
It doesn't look like much, but it's easy to get to, just down Northlake parkway, where it ends at Ponce. -

Not as scary on the inside as it is on the outside. The salad was simple but fresh. And the burger was as gods as burger gets. I would have not stopped in if not for yelp and I am sure to come back.

It was good, but not great. I'd like to see more craft beers on tap and less macro beers on tap. I would like to see more local brews as well. Still, there is something for everyone on tap.
The food was good. I had the bratwurst. It was kind of dry, yet still tasty. The fries were very very good.
I'm certain to go back and try something else on the menu. -

We love coming here. It is convenient, great food, and well priced food and beer. Rae is the best server ever and the owners are local! We like to support them, and they always deliver.
Go for wings, the Wed / Friday specials, and burgers. Good selection of beers on tap, too! Come one, come all. Won't be disappointed. -

While searching for places to grab a beer and a bite to eat near my house, I found the Brockett Pub. From the outside, it looks like kind of a hole in the wall, but once you get inside...well, it still looks like kind of a hole in the wall.
BUT, the pub food my wife and I had was excellent. Unique and tasty menu items, big portions and moderate prices are a good combo. She had a margharita quesadilla (mozzarella, basil and tomato) with a balsamic reduction on the side. I had a gigantic andouillie sausage served on a hoagie roll with peppers and onions. And a big handful of very good fried.
The beer list isn't going to wow any Brick Store/Taco Mac regulars, but the 12 beers they did have on tap included a nice mix of styles, from cheap domestic to small craft brews. The cooler looked to be stocked with a nice bottle selection, too.
Service was great. Very friendly, very attentive, and quick with a menu suggestion/recommendation.
Looking over the menu and around the bar, there seems to be something going on just about every night--Tuesday is $2 Bud night, Thursday is Team Trivia, Friday's karaoke. They've got NFL Sunday ticket and Wifi, and specifically highlighted the fact that it's a good place to follow your fantasy teams. I'll have to take them up on that offer in a couple of weeks. -

Love the pub! A great staff and owners, fantastic wings, great burgers and other sandwiches, the best blue-cheese fries in the universe and we don't have to drive to Decatur for a great beer selection.
I love how all sorts of people call the Brockett their hangout. I only wish karaoke would come back sometime. -
Review from Rox R.

I was recommended this place by a local and they were on. We just needed a place to grab a beer and some food. We were pretty hungry when we got there and we are glad for that. Not an impressive outside, and the inside isn't either but its clean.
Beer selection is decent for a pub. It included fine selections that I have seen on Taco Mac and Brick Store Pub. It's not a huge selection but some decent beers. I had the Left Hand Milk Stout.
Waitress was friendly.
Burgers were on special- 1/2 off (sweet!). My partner had a cuban and I had the Greek. Wonderful flavors on the Greek and just about $4. Seriously, good.
Figured I would try the salad instead of fries- that wasn't a good idea. OK salad- a little rough. Stole my partners fries, as much as I could cause they didn't last long (ie he liked them). Well spiced and crispy.
No dessert this time- not sure what they had other than chocolate cake. -

This is one of my favorite places ever!! For a pub, they have some great menu selections and the food is awesome. I have never had a bad meal there. Some of my favs are: lemon pepper wings, burgers, blue cheese fries and any of their special themed dinners on Wednesdays. But my all-time fav is the all you can eat crab legs for $20. I don't know where they get their crab legs, but they are soooo good.
They have a good beer selection and pretty unique and tasty mixed drinks. There's something special going on almost every night of the week like trivia, beer bingo and pig roasts on special occasions.
Special shout out to my girl Rae. She is so nice and makes a mean drink! -

It's been a while since I have been to Brockett but felt compelled to write a review finally. I went there pretty much every Thursday night for trivia for over a year. Always enjoyed the food there, they have different specials every night it seems. Good to great bar food. Always a decent beer selection and prices were always reasonable, especially like their half pitcher options.
I met my fiancee there so no complaints at all. The waitresses and bartenders are all very nice. -

I have to go here every Tuesday for their half-off burgers! Best deal in town! Everybody in Atlanta seems to be forcing "boutique burgers" down everyones throat these days, but the Brockett offers a real deal with theirs. Again, must have one every Tues., or something is wrong.

Everything is right about this place. You walk in the door and you immediately feel at home. My husband and I go every week for a lunch date and I always look forward to it. I have never had a bad experience here. I usually go during the week for lunch but I have been for some dinner services. Darren is our usual server and he is usually handling the lunch crowd by himself. He does a fantastic job- he's attentive without being overbearing and he's friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. My favorite thing about this place is the food. Let's start with the Buffalo Chicken Dip- it's so good that when I crave it, I can almost taste it. The Mini Andouille Corn Dogs are also out of this world. My usual is the Mushroom Swiss Burger and the only complaint I have about that is it's often overcooked- I like my burger medium but when it's right, it's REALLY right. My husband usually gets the Reuben and onion rings. It took him awhile to decide but he now admits that Brockett has the best Reuben he's ever had. Then there's the onion rings- crispy, mouthwatering and they never fall apart. I have taken friends, family members and co-workers here and none of them have walked away disappointed. My sister's family (who lives in Ohio) still raves about this place. It's one of my favorite hangout spots- whether you go on a Friday night with a group of friends or you go for a lunch date in the middle of the week, you just can't beat this place. You definitely get a value when you go there, too. It's great, quality food for very reasonable prices. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place!!!!

I love, love, love, this pub (pub, pub). I am a longtime Atlanta resident, but have only lived in Clarkston for a week. Since I work in the Highlands, I pretty much travel from my end of Ponce, to midtown and back but rarely do I turn left out of my neighborhood and forge into Clarkston.
My boyfriend is much more adventurous than I am, and he has an appreciation for his local culture, wherever that may lead. I am easily squicked out just thinking about bar bathrooms, even though the Northside Tavern is one my faves (never been drunk enough to use THAT toilet though, and you know which one I mean), so I was a little wary of going to the Brockett Pub. I do like to try new things, though, and if it was a decent place I would be excited to have something good so close. I used to live in Brookhaven, and I miss Pub 71. A replacement is in order, and I definitely found one!
We went mid-afternoon on Monday and sat at the bar. For a while we were the only customers, but a bunch of regulars stopped in later. They were uh, colorful, characters to say the least, but I had a great time talking with them and actually look forward to bumping into them again.
The bartender was a cute, funny, nice gal. She gave my boyfriend a generous sample of a beer he was curious about, and when I ordered a drink she recommended, she poured it with a heavy hand.
We ordered the BPH fries as an app. The fries were probably the frozen variety but were well-cooked and seasoned. Topped with homemade bleu cheese dressing, bleu cheese crumbles, chopped tomato, and chiffonaded basil, they were decadent and tasty. They were supposed to also have roasted garlic, but I couldn't taste any. I didn't mind though. While I love my garlic, I also like being able to come into contact with people and not offend them with my stank breath. For real food, I ordered a brat with sauteed onions and pepps and a side salad. The salad was decent, with sunflower seeds and chopped apples as well as the standard stuff. The homemade ranch dressing was reeeally good. And the bratwurst, which was also homemade, was pretty dadgum great too. Boyfriend got a Cobb Salad that was pretty fully loaded. They didn't cut corners on the more expensive ingredients, like avocados and bacon (not of the Bitz variety, either!).
We got out of there for about 35 bucks, not including a generous tip. We can't wait to go back and eat more stuff and meet more of the Clarkston crew. I am not sad about leaving Brookhaven anymore, though some of that has to do with the Pub and some has more to do with living in a house with central a/c and covered parking. -

Tucked away in the ghetto on one side or another of the train tracks (no, really) there is a little old school pub. Though at first glance you may pass by since there's nothing fancy or flashy going on here - you should take a second look. Inside is cozy, friendly and welcoming. There is a porch area out back on which to eat, drink, smoke and be merry. Inside is the bar, high tops, and tables - as well as the standard giant tv screens that broadcast sports non-stop.
And while this may sound like your average sports bar - it is not, by any means. Yes - they have a full service bar, but they also have a full menu including everything from grilled burgers to gyros, salads to nachos and the obvious bar-food too (chips, dip, wings...).
Wednesday's menu offers a home cooked meal - varying weekly by the owners mood; Thursday nights offer free Team Trivia, with House Cash for prizes; and Fridays boast Karaoke. Seasonally, there are barbecues, holiday parties, contests, and other fun things that make you keep coming back.
The food is good [pub] food. The waitstaff is friendly and fun. The atmosphere is laid-back, casual and fun-loving. And, despite the seemingly seedy location, the patrons are a veritable motley crew boasting people from all walks of life, ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds.
All in all - just a fun place to chill out and throw back some beers in the evenings or over the weekend. Bring your friends, or make new ones when you arrive. -

the cuban burger is AMAZING. the staff is amazingly friendly to newcomers as well as regulars (and this place is one of those great bars that has good regulars). they do a good job with rotating taps and have a GREAT variety of special themed meal nights. check it out!!
