Thinking Man is one of my weekly go-to spots! Service is always top notch and the menu offers something for everyone. While I like to switch things up, I have a hard time not ordering the Tuscan Chicken sandwich almost every time. Hands down one of the best sandwiches. They have a wide selection of beer and cocktails. Happy Hour …

This is a nice neighborhood bar. Had their burger week burger when I visited, which was phenomenal. Also had the mashed sweet potatoes, and the pretzel appetizer. EVERYTHING was good. Nice attentive staff took care of me. The beer/drink menu is extensive, so there are plenty of options. They also do Tuesday trivia night. The parking lot is small, so …

Always good food and a good time. The place is never really too crowded before noon. So if you a late starter and want a great brunch check them out. They have an excellent beer collection.

Thinking Man is a bit of a dive, but we really like the vibe. We have not had the food. I am writing this review bc of the digestif menu. It's so lovely and has many choices. They have a house fernet and amaro which are excellent, and so affordable. Finding places placing any focus on digestifs is rare and …

Went for brunch on Saturday. I had the park scrambler and my husband had the Dallas cowboys tacos. Both were really good. My only complaint is they need to deep clean the ladies restroom. Shoes were sticking to the floor.

Great food, good drinks, and fun trivia! Me and my friends came here on a Tuesday for some trivia and had a blast. We got the chicken nachos and bavarian pretzels to share and both were excellent. If we came back, we would definitely order those again. The trivia was fun, but it was pretty slow since it was just …

Spend one minute driving past downtown Decatur for this high value pub with solid fare, dynamic spirit selection (bitters/agave) and weekly events such as DJs and karaoke.

Excellent food and beer selection. Hopefully more attention is paid to keeping the kitchen clean than the bathrooms. They need a deep cleaning so👎. No return business from us. Kind of a shame.
