What People Are Saying About The Earl

The Scene – With lurid candelabra, yard-sale art and urban artifacts, the Earl is the perfect gathering place for post-punk locals. The hard-partying crowd, ranging in their late 20s to early 40s, knocks back paper-cup shots in between pints of Pabst Blue till the wee hours. Meanwhile, a serious small-time indie-music scene flourishes in the back. The Earl boasts a great booking agent, a reliable sound system and a terrific lineup almost every night of the week. – – The Food – Long on bar atmosphere, but with plenty of space devoted to dining, the Earl specializes in…

Absolutely HORRIBLE service
by kc404 at Citysearch
Decent food but absolutely terrible service for the most part. While some of the staff is attentive and friendly, the other half is shifty, complacent and seems extremely put out but the smallest request. I was a regular there that put up with their horrible service simply because the place with convenient. While I might tolerate poor service alone, I will not tolerate poor service with an attitude which I recently received. Pretty odd, considering my friends and I rack up pretty big tabs and tip ridiculously well. I certainly won't be back.
- Pros: Decent food, decent price
- Cons: TERRIBLE SERVICE

Nice...even for an old lady
by dilizharb at Citysearch
My 23 year old son took me there...I wasn't sure what to expect, but the staff was friendly, the partrons all seemed friendly and fun. They had a decent wine menu (I'm probably the only one that ordered wine)...but they actually had what I liked. The food was excellent...we noshed on the Irish Nachos..which were really good and then I had a cheese burger...EXCELLENT! The ONLY thing I didn't like about it was the smoking....UGH...but other than that it's a fun place.
- Pros: Friendly, and professional service
- Cons: Smoky

Great food, atmosphere and music
by kokoATL at Citysearch
The Earl has the best burger in town by far. I have been many times and the food is always consistent. The Reuben is also very good as are the onion rings. The atmosphere is very chill and they have an awesome jukebox. Service is always good. The back room features great bands usually a few years before they get really popular. My only complaint is that it's way too smokey. You will smell like the butt of a cigarette when you leave.
- Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Music
- Cons: Smokey
