Republic Social House

LOVE THIS SPOT! Breakfast shot for the win— I’m normally not a shot person but it’s so light and unique it’s definitely a fun experience. Service is always quick and friendly. Rooftop deck is great year round. We come for brunch as often as possible and it’s also a local favorite for watching sports. Great drink selection, everything from Espresso martinis to beer pitchers to a bottle of champagne and carafe of OJ.

Mt BF & I enjoyed having dinner on the rooftop after the Dia de los Muerto event @ Historic Oakland Cemetery. It was relatively packed but there was available seating. I ordered Soerra Nevada's Hazy Little Thing IPA and Chicken Fingers platter w/fries and BBQ & Honey Mustard sauces. It was crispy & delicious. My BF ordered the Republic Chicken Sandwich - he enjoyed it ans PBR beer.

THE CAJUN PASTA IS MID NOW?! I'm a long time Republic lover, so it hurts me to write this. I've ordered their Cajun Pasta dish for many years now — satisfied every single time until today. Let me rewind. I ordered pick up for the first time in a few months and, for the most part, everything was fine. And then POW!! I was asked "Do you want to add anything to that or would you just like the pasta?" JUST THE PASTA?? HUH?? I was told the Cajun Pasta dish price changed 2 months ago. Oh, but that wasn't all that changed... Republic Cajun Pasta of the ol' days included chicken, shrimp and sausage and now I have to add the meats?? Fine. I get it. Inflation. But what crushed my soul was the fact that they changed the pasta sauce receipe. Essentially, it was a glorified, garlic-heavy tomato sauce! What happend to the wonderful blend of seasoning and spices?? Gone. My favorite dish has been dismembered and put back together worse than Frankenstein's uglier little brother, then sold at a 40% markup. Devastating. Look what they did to MY BOYY!! The overall dish I give a 2 out of 5 stars. It used to be a New Orleans party in your mouth and now?? It's anything but. Bland, no depth and overally reliant on garlic to carry the flavor. For $8 more, I got three small pieces of chicken and three shrimp. Not worthy of the price AT ALL. I would avoid the dish altogether. I hope Republic can recreate that original pasta sauce again becuase it was heavenly. I still love you, Republic, but don't do your loyal patrons like this.

The food was fine the atmosphere was good. The only down side I came out to my car to find my window broken and my bag that was under my seat taken. No one could see it it was under my seat before I got there and they are randomly breaking into cars trying to see what they can steal. Ridiculous m Will not go back to That sort of Atlanta again. The car broke in along with replacing a window is too much. Will spend my money else where until Atlanta has better crime prevention presence.
