The Fair Restaurant

The words “upscale” and “dive” bar don’t really flow off the tongue naturally, but when you do, it comes out of your mouth as “The Earl”. The shotgun style bar, with minimal tables, a huge bar top, and outside patio area where you can smoke seems to have a setting of a dive bar. With options like Hamm’s, PBR, all domestics, and Old Forester Shots for $3, it has all the options of a dive bar. As you step inside and see the atmosphere, see the food menu, peruse the craft beer selection, and then notice the house crafted cocktails, you realize that this in not your typical dive bar. Over time, Downtown New Albany has grown, but it lacked the late night hangouts. The Earl wanted to fix that by staying open as late as legally possible each night. We take pride in the fact that everyone is welcome and treated equally as the walk into The Earl. Our price points are reasonable and we have something to offer everyone. Well almost everyone, because we are a 21 and over establishment.
