Did the City tax them to death?
Update (Jan. 15): The Glenwood reopens, for now
The Glenwood in East Atlanta Village has closed, according to Cliff Bostock with Creative Loafing.
Located at 1263 Glenwood Avenue, their closure was abrupt and though reasons for shuttering have not been confirmed, Bostock says that the gastropub could not afford to renew its liquor license and had to close.
What Now Atlanta reader, Cat Schwamm (@catschwamm), wrote in early this morning with the same insights.
“I heard they lost their liquor license and have closed. Too bad, it’s one of my favorites.”
Bostock adds that their closure occured just after Ryan Stewart returned to the kitchen.
“He and the pub’s excellent staff are on the streets.”
For a gastropub like The Glenwood, it’s no surprise they couldn’t stay in business without a liquor license.
Bostock said best:
“Restaurants are dropping like flies in our city. The expense and difficulty of the liquor license procedure sure doesn’t help. As everyone knows, a restaurant’s profits frequently derive mainly from alcohol sales.”
