It is a unique restaurant and tequila tasting room located in Decatur, Ga.

  1. Is there really a need for a beachside cantina in Decatur? We ate there once before and I will say the food was pretty good. But to me, the atmosphere was lacking. I’m just not a big fan of a beach themed restaurant when the leaves ore turning outside.

  2. I thought it was delicious, but expensive for what you got. Does putting the word “bar” or “pub” in your name make you more popular in Decatur? It seems to be the trend.

  3. just to clarify, alison lueker ritter is onboard at a consultative level, collaborating with marbar, not as executive chef. nothing changes at the beloved belly. you’ll have to come try the amazing things they’ve put together!
