For those who prefer written directions to maps:
From the north on I-285:
If you're coming south on I-285 from I-85, exit onto Hwy 78 (aka "Stone Mountain Parkway"), exit at Brockett Rd, turn to the right, and go a half mile. Turn right on Ponce de Leon and turn right into the Pub parking lot.
From the south on I-285:
If you're coming north on I-285 from I-20, exit at Ponce de Leon Ave, turn right, and go 1.5 miles. You'll see the Pub on the left just before you get to Brockett Road. (If you really prefer interstate driving to multiple traffic lights, go on up and exit onto Hwy 78 going east, then exit at Brockett Rd, turn the right, and go a half mile.)
From Stone Mountain:
From Stone Mountain, Brockett's is just four miles east on Ponce de Leon, which starts at the north end of Main St and follows the railroad track. (The West Gate into the park is about a mile east from where Main St. turns into E. Ponce de Leon, on the road which crosses that intersection.) The bike path also runs alongside Ponce de Leon.
From Avondale:
If you're coming from Avondale, head north on N. Clarendon from E. College for a mile, until it dead ends into Ponce de Leon, turn right, then go 2.9 miles. You'll cross North Decatur Rd and I-285. You'll see the Pub on the left just before you get to Brockett Rd. (This is a two-lane road with a number of traffic lights.) Brockett's Pub is 4 miles from the intersection of N. Clarendon and E. College.
Alternatively, you can turn right on Church St. before you cross the tracks, go about 2.8 miles until Church St. crosses the tracks (if you went straight you'd be on Friskine Rd), turn right on Ponce de Leon, and you'll see the Pub on the left. (During rush hours, Church St. will have somewhat less traffic.)
From Decatur:
If you're coming from Downtown Decatur, take Ponce de Leon east til you cross Arcadia at Sam's Crossing, then go 4.3 miles. (After you cross North Decatur Rd, it's another 2.7 miles.)
Alternatively, you can take Church Street out of Decatur, merge onto Lawrenceville Hwy at Scott Blvd, bear right onto Hwy 78, exit at Brockett Rd, go a half mile, turn right, then turn right again into the lot.
The difference between the two routes from Decatur are not significant (a half mile at most). The Hwy 78 route will be faster except during rush hours.
If you're riding your bike, pick up the Stone Mountain trail along the north side of the tracks, ride east to the Ice House then across to Sycamore St, turn right down Sycamore St. to the Avondale MARTA Station, turn right on Ponce de Leon up to Sam's Crossing and ride it out until Church St. crosses the tracks (if you went straight you'd be on Friskine). Go across there, then right on Ponce de Leon for a short distance, seeing the Pub on the left. (You can actually see the Pub as you approach the intersection on Church.) The trail is good all the way out, except across I-285 and a couple of blocks past it. Be cautious there.
From the Corner Pub:
For any of our friends who want to visit from the Corner Pub at East Decatur Station on E. College in Decatur, the distance is exactly 5 miles.
Have you considered adding your delicious 5-layer dip to your permanent menu?

Drop the veggie dog...pick up a fancy-schmancy Brockett Pub worthy grilled cheese sandwich on 8 grain bread made with 2 cheeses of choice between Swiss, American, and Cheddar and serve it with fries, rings, or salad.
Yummmmmmmm!

My boyfriend and I visited this past Saturday and I fell in love with this spot! The bartender, Chris, was very friendly and fast. The food was great! It came out hot and fast! I have a new neighborhood hang out spot now!
