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…

Nice...even for an old lady

by dilizharb

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

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.

Lunch Dude

by josiahiii

I go to The Earl mostly for lunch. I must say that they have what is probably the best burger in town. Big claim I know, but you really should try it. Love the staff, real working stiffs like the rest of us. Give it a try.

"Dunch" is the Earl's answer to your Sunday morning blues with killer bloody marys and just-greasy-enough breakfast food.

To avoid dry spells between rounds, order several drinks when you have your server's attention.
