Roswell-based Irish pub
expanding with Battery
location
BY HUNTER RIGGALL
Roswell’s Mac McGee Irish Pub announced
it will be opening a second location at The
Battery Atlanta this summer.
Mac McGee’s offers traditional, “fromscratch”
pub fare such as fish and chips,
shepherd’s pie and bangers and mash, along
with American favorites such as burgers and
fried chicken. There’s also dozens of beer
and whiskey options.
Sean Callan, Mac McGee’s general
manager, said the Battery location will feature
the same food and drink menu for lunch,
dinner and late-night.
“Our entire staff is like family, we’ve all
worked here many, many years together”
Callan said. “We’re all super excited.”
The roughly 3,700-square-foot Battery
location will be located on Battery Avenue
between One Medical and Jeni’s Splendid Ice
Cream.
The space will be semi-outdoor with
garage-style doors that open up to the
street. Plans also include live music on the
weekends.
“Braves fans, Atlanta locals and traveling
guests will take to the restaurant’s charming
and community-centric qualities and soon be
able to share a pint together over authentic
Irish cuisine,” said Jeremy Strife, executive
vice president of development for the Braves
Development Company, in an announcement.
Mac McGee’s Roswell first location is on
Canton Street in the heart of Roswell. The
bright-red pub opened in 2013.
The development centered around Truist
Park has continued to add eateries and bars
this year, including Fat Tuesday, 26 Thai
Kitchen & Bar and ASW Distillery. Another
restaurant, EATaliano Kitchen, was set to
open at the Battery in late spring.
