Kirkwood neighborhood calls restaurant’s bluff.
Jak’s All Inn has closed in Kirkwood.
Formerly a dive bar called Aces Bar and Grille, the restaurant at 1992 Hosea L. Williams Drive closed in May with plans to reopen under a new name and concept.
Josh Adam Kahn, who opened Aces six years ago, reopened the dive bar as Jak’s All Inn, implementing some “family-friendly” options — something he felt would turn his business around during a slowed economy.
“We didn’t let children into [Aces],” Kahn told What Now Atlanta in an interview earlier this year. “We need to appeal to families.”
The name, taken from Kahn’s initials, was his way of calling a spade a spade.
“After this, I’ve got no more money to invest,” Kahn said. “I’m all in.”
Just a few weeks open under the new concept and Kahn has pulled the plug.
Several attempts to reach Kahn went unanswered. A trip to the location Friday during normal business hours confirms the restaurant is closed.
