The Brick Store Pub opened on June 27, 1997 at 9pm. 

Three friends from Athens, Georgia (Dave Blanchard, Mike Gallagher and Tom Moore) wanted, like so many others with a degree and no idea what to do with it, to own their own pub. Having worked in the service industry for a combined 20+ years in Athens and Atlanta, they realized a niche had yet to be filled - a neighborhood pub where conversation dominates, pints are served properly with the appropriate glassware, service is friendly and knowledgeable and the food is made from scratch every day, all accented by a beautiful historic building located on a bustling town square.

Patrons come for all that we passionately offer but also because we provide an environment that boasts no televisions, no neon, and no major domestic beers. What you find at our main bar are local, regional and nationally acclaimed American craft beers, German and English specialty beers and our vintage and reserve bottled beer list. We frequently rotate a carefully chosen array of 29 draught beers plus a Beer Engine.

In 2004, House Bill 645 brought an end to Georgia’s 6% ABV law and allowed beers up to 14% to be sold in the state. This was the catalyst for our Belgian Bar. “Upstairs and to the left” is where you will find 8 rotating draughts and over 120 Belgian/Belgian-style bottled beers. 

After a trip to Belgium and visiting a tiny pub which specialized in cellared beer. A phone book size beer list met us and so began our foray into the world of aged beer. Upon return, we immediately began purchasing beer that would hold up and improve with age. Curating in the last 10 years over 900 different vintages from all over the world. A never ending process which is equal parts hobby and labor of love. 

The Brick Store is firmly established as the hub for residents of the City of Decatur and surrounding neighborhoods. Those seeking a salt-of-the-earth hangout will find sheer happiness at The Brick Store Pub, a “local” to truly call one’s own.
