The Earl is actually an acronym for "the East Atlanta Restaurant and Lounge." Located in East Atlanta Village, this favorite spot among partygoers in the area who know how to party has loud music and high-spirited crowds. On scheduled nights, the lounge features hard-charging bands from Georgia and around the country in genres ranging from alternative to metal and even rock. Even the sidewalk has great performers. Delicious pub fare and free-flowing drinks ensure a memorable night every night. If you crave some quality time with your significant other, go there for a late brunch, noonish. Then, would that be lunch? Sit at the bar before there are no seats left. The food is on point, and the coffee is good. This place is perhaps the best dive bar that also does a great brunch menu.
