🔥💥 Flags, Food & Fireside — Memorial Day with Lunch in Andersonville! 🍺✨ (Part 2 of 2)

After the parade & ceremony at Rosehill Cemetery (Part 1), we're heading to one of Andersonville's most beloved neighborhood spots — the Fireside Restaurant & Lounge! 🍽️✨

📅 Event Details
🗓 Monday, May 25, 2026
⏰ 12:30 PM
📌 Important — Please Read Before RSVPing!
⚠️ ONLY RSVP IF YOU ARE 95% SURE YOU CAN ATTEND! I have reservations for 16 people — seating is very limited and I must keep this small!

A true Andersonville institution, Fireside has been warming hearts since 1990 in a building that's been serving food and drinks since 1904. Cajun-inspired American comfort food, an amazing craft beer selection, a versatile wine list, and creative cocktails — all in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with fireplaces, a back patio with retractable roof, and one of the best neighborhood vibes in the city!
