Southern-style gastropub to replace the now relocated Cakes and Ale.

The Pinewood Tippling Room, a restaurant serving “inventive, southern-inflected victuals and potables in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere,” is slated to open Tuesday, May 15, according to a press release Monday.

Translation: it’s a southern restaurant that serves food and alcohol. Oh, and it’s opening in Decatur.

Located at 254 West Ponce de Leon Avenue, The Pinewood will replace the since relocated Cakes and Ale, according to the release.

Chef Julia LeRoy was hired to consult on The Pinewood’s menu which consists of “southern classics” like fried green tomatoes, pork belly, sweet potatoes, and a fried bologna sandwich, the release notes.

Cocktails will be made with locally sourced fruits and vegetables and house-made syrups, tinctures, infusions and sodas.
