‘Mcdonough’s newest hot spot’ to replace Leopard Lounge.
Itza Sports Bar and Grill is opening a Midtown location.
The sports bar will replace the now shuttered Leopard Lounge (most recently ER Lounge) on 12th Street, according to a permit filed with the city of Atlanta last week.
Urban Eats Consulting, who’s clients include Cafe Circa, Hotel Indigo Athens and Tin Lizzy’s, has been tasked with developing the concept and design for the new Midtown location.
The space is a “rustic 1920s bungalow,” according to Urban Eats.
If history is any indication of the future, Itza will do very well at their planned 12th Street location in our “sophisticated” Midtown.
Considering all that works are Taco Macs and wall-to-wall television mounted Hudson Grilles, Itza’s got the right stuff:
1. 25 HD flat screens.
2. An extensive menu of fried bar food.
3. Covered patio.
4. Cold beer.
In addition to Midtown, Itza Sports Bar plans on opening several locations across Georgia, according to their website.
