Argosy, East Atlanta Village

In the heart of the East Atlanta Village there is a restaurant that blends hipsters, craft beer, and good food together. Not that I would ever categorize myself as one I do enjoy good food & beer so on one slower Saturday afternoon after running errands I parked myself at the bar and enjoyed all that this place had to offer. I went after the brunch rush and before the happy hour enthusiasts so it was relatively quiet but I could tell this place can get crowded. The assortment of seating it something that caught my eye. There is bar seating, high tops, regular tables and couches that I would describe as lounge like, needless to say whatever your preference this place has it.

I ordered a pint of Big Eye, an IPA from Ballast Point Brewery in San Diego. They had almost thirty different beers on tap and another thirty in bottles/ cans. Some I had never of but I’m assuming if you’re a serious beer freak you would appreciate the selection. For my meal I got the Moroccan Braised Tri Tip Sandwich, which was topped with horseradish mayo, brussel leaf slaw, & crispy shallots on a H&F bun.  The meat was tender and the slaw seemed almost pickled so it had a satisfying crunch. Almost everything on the menu looked good– this gastropub certainly doesn’t screw around.

Like I mentioned before the beer selection blew me away and the food was enjoyable. The decor was eclectic and oldies played the whole time I was there which only added to the appeal. Next time I’ll have to tryout the patio if only winter would be over already!
