Embark on a Flavorful Irish Adventure at This Lively Georgia Pub

Sheehan's Irish Pub in Augusta, Georgia, brings together the best of Irish cuisine and warm Southern charm. With a cozy atmosphere and hearty menu, it’s the ideal spot for a relaxed pub experience.

Gastropubs have exploded in popularity over the last few years. If you're not familiar with the concept, they're quite similar to traditional bars or pubs, but with the addition of elevated bar food. This isn't your typical peanuts-and-basic-burgers menu, but rather culinary delights like you'd find at a more upscale restaurant. Gastropubs also tend to feature a slightly less casual, and more family-friendly, setting than you'll find at your average bar. They're not fine dining or overly stuffy, but they're just fancy enough to make you feel like you're treating yourself to a delectable meal. Augusta, GA is a wonderful town. It's best known nationally as the home of The Masters golf tournament, but there's a surprising amount to do here, and the dining scene is pretty delicious. One neighborhood spot that is absolutely adored by locals is Sheehan's Irish Pub. This fun-filled restaurant serves up delicious brews and food that's some of the best in the city.
