History and Friends are Made at Johnnie MacCracken’s Celtic Firehouse Pub
[This is the latest installment of “Cobb Cuisine, Culture and Community” by Brian Benefield]. Sometimes, you just want to hang out with friends at a local spot with character. Not only in the style and substance of the one-hundred-plus-year-old building, but you may also encounter some entertaining characters while sitting at the bar as well. As it’s known to locals, the Crack, Johnny MacCracken’s Celtic Firehouse Pub is a place we go a few times a month to meet up with cohorts who enjoy good beer, fun times, and often irreverently hilarious conversation. It is housed in what was once Marietta’s first fire station on the square, which is evident by many of the artifacts located throughout the space and also the two large entrance doors that a horse-drawn carriage exited from over a century ago.
