Meehan’s to Open Atlantic Station Location and Will Participate in St. Paddy’s Day Party in Atlanta



 ATLANTA, GA – Meehan’s Public House (top left photo) a locally owned Irish pub, will open at Atlantic Station (top right photo) this spring, the first of several planned restaurant openings as the mixed-use center improves its tenant roster.

Meehan’s is known for it classic Irish dishes elevated to a gourmet level. It already has three successful Atlanta-area locations — downtown, Vinings and Smyrna — and will open at Atlantic Station is early May between Cafe Nineteen and Z Gallerie.



 Around the same time, Yard House will open its first Atlanta location. Yard House is an upscale casual eatery known for great food, classic rock music and hundreds of taps of imported, craft and specialty ales and lagers.

“Meehan’s is Chapter One in what will be the story of Atlantic Station’s restaurant re-tenanting,” said Mark Toro (middle left photo), Managing Partner, North American Properties.

“When North American Properties took over Atlantic Station just over a year ago, we asked the people of Midtown what they wanted to see.

“Meehan’s represents well what they said they wanted — a welcoming, locally owned concept with great food and a great atmosphere. We are thrilled to welcome Meehan’s to Atlantic Station and to offer our guests a great new dining option.”

While the newest Meehan’s won’t officially be open for St. Patrick’s Day, the restaurant is partnering with Atlantic Station to present the first-ever Shamrock Station celebration March 17.

The St. Patrick’s Day celebration, sure to be a new tradition for Atlanta, will include Irish music and family activities during the day, as well as a big music headliner (stay tuned for an announcement) and plenty of beer as the day goes on. Meehan’s plans to feature beer trucks and barbecue stations.

Meehan’s, which has three locations in the Atlanta area (downtown, Vinings and Sandy Springs), is the perfect place to gather for a quick lunch, after work gathering, dinner with friends and late-night fun. 

This brand proudly carries forward the message, “Irish Customs, Neighborhood Charm” and the menu features interesting and satisfying twists on Irish and Southern cuisine.

Meehan’s is part of 101 Concepts, a privately owned restaurant group with more than 20 years experience in developing and operating successful restaurant concepts in the Atlanta area. Other restaurants include Food101 in Sandy Springs, Soho in Vinings, Cibo e Beve in Sandy Springs and Coastal Kitchen on St. Simon’s Island.
