Truth be told, we went for a private party...
Pot pies were amazing! Â I'm definitely coming for another! Â Staff was great! Â Attentive! Kept up with multiple bills. Â
Read some knocks on it... Â But come on man! Â It's and English pub! Â What you expect? Â Linen napkins? Â Stale beer smell is piped in!
After walking in to the smell of stale spilled beer and crunching on our feet... we picked an elevated booth with a view of the bar...... in the only one that was clean enough to sit down at...
I'm not sure if a massive wave of 100 patrons just flooded out of the place two minutes before we walked in... but that's certainly how it looked; food, drink glasses, red baskets with partially eaten food, and napkins were strewn everywhere.
After a minute or so, an employee near the bar told us, "Hey, your server will be right with you,"
"Okay, thanks!"
So we waited...
... and waited...
That same employee seemed to be serving the other half of the bar, but was apparently too busy with her ONE table to take our drink order or something. Â There was a management-type guy, in a pink shirt, hanging at one end of the bar semi-wiping something up and chatting with one of the customers. Â The bartender herself looked at us no less than three times.
"Hey, babe... I'm not feeling very welcome and the place is pretty ratty anyway - wanna just try somewhere else?"
"Let's give it three more minutes. Â A bunch o' Yelp reviews claim the food is great."
Three minutes later, we walked out.
Ironically, as we were leaving, the pink-shirt-management-type-guy was out in the parking lot talking to someone else getting in her car and asked us, "How you doin' folks?"
"Great now; thanks!"
Hey... at least I can take the bookmark off this place and mark it down as a don't-get-within-10-feet-of-ever-again!
P.S. - the bar selection is lousy anyway, with prices higher than average. Â We were really just banking on the bar-grub saving the place... but it's definitely not worth it to find out...
The truly only reason Greg & I go to Churchill's is their nightly dinner specials & the coziness of the bar. Â The regular menu is average. Â
But $14 for a pitcher of domestic beer is just crazy when other places have pitchers for around $10. Â ALL other places we go to have cheaper domestic pitchers.
The worse part about the place is the owner. Â She obviously is miserable with her life & it shows on her face & by the way she treats her constantly-changing staff - most can't deal with her so they quit after about a month or so & I don't blame them after the many stories over the years I've heard. Â Even most of the old bar regulars can't stand her but still frequent the place because of her husband, who used to own it. Â She will eventually run the place into the ground & hopefully the new owner will be nicer - but you can only go up from down! Â She needs to not work with the public nor be in charge of any human being. Â We've been going to Churchill's for about 4 years now & she only gets worse. Â Maybe the reason she has to keep hiring new staff is looking right back at her in the mirror.
We now go to Suburban Tap much more although I don't like all the little kids that are there. Â We like Bradley's & Montana's too. Â I wish East Cobb had more bars.......
Justin Bs review although old still stands true. A little clicky bunch of old farts around the bar. rednecks spitting peanut shells in all directiions and bar staff that are next to  impossible to get hold of unless you throw your empty glass at them. As for Churchills and the Union Jack, I don't get it... Is this some how supposed to represent an English pub ? Two stars as its a drinking establishment and how this area needs them.....
Review Source:It got 3 stars from me because the food is good, for bar food. Anymore though when my husband wants fish and chips though, we get take out. The few times that we have been there to hang out the people are fine but the staff is always a bit snotty. They actually were so rude with a group of our friends that they along with my husband left.
They bar itself is kinda small and always festive. They seem to decorate for every occasion. It is an older crowd. The restrooms are awesome. The prices are decent. But that snotty staff can change your whole evening.
Maybe I should go check out lunch, I may get a better attitude.
Churchill's is a little dark and smoky but the food is surprisingly good. Â Fresh ingredients and careful attention to detail. Â Their fries are great and just like I would make at home. Â Their batter is really crispy and fresh, making the fried fish plate or sandwich a good choice. Â Burgers are always cooked to order and loaded with nice red tomatoes, onion, lettuce, mayo on the side. Â
As far as a bar as a destination, its not my style. Â They attract some regulars around the bar and it's a nice crowd, I would say mostly in the 45-60 age set.
I have been trying to find a bar in this area that is not awful. Â So I decided to visit Churchill's last Friday. Â Unfortunately on this particular night Churchills could be summed up with one word: Lame. Â I would have given it two stars, but Nikki's review is keeping hope alive for me that this place has the potential to be cool every now and then.
My roommates and I walked in to this place expecting it to be crowded, loud and hopefully fun. Â Instead, we entered a boring bar with about 12 people hanging out all giving us that look and probably saying to themselves: "who are these out of towners? Â Their probably some of them know it all college kids."
There was also nothing but awful country music being played the entire time we were there, which was almost as equally depressing as the small crowd of regulars at the bar. Â
I was pretty disappointed to say the least. Â I have driven by this place a couple of times and from the outside it always seemed look like it had the promise of a decent time. Â Maybe the depressing bar scene is one of the reasons the place has tinted windows...okay, I know it is to keep the sunlight out, but it does kind of kill two birds with one stone.
I might give this place another try in the future because of Nikki's review. Â But for now, I will just stick to places that don't look like a bar fight waiting to happen on the inside.
Sadly, I honestly grew up in this joint. Â Every time I drive by it I think of all the nights my sister and I spent eating fish and chips there ( that were pretty tasty ) while waiting for something good to happen in our lives, like move away from the 'burbs.
But this is the pub for those of you who want something close to a British experience- well, as close as you can get to one in East Cobb! Â I've been to a few English pubs, in England and ehh, yeah, they both have old folks sitting around in them.
So now that the shopping center has been renovated it is one of the last businesses left standing since Target has taken over a good deal of what once stood on the corner of Johnson's Ferry and Roswell Road. Â I only go there for booze these days when I am forced to babysit my parent's house a mile away!
