Brick Store Owners To Open Separate "Gastro Pub" in Rue de Leon Space
May 28, 2008A good Samaritan recently linked to David’s and my post regarding the Brick Store lease over in the Beer Advocate forums, asking for more info. At first there was only speculation…but then this morning, we got some real, second-hand details about the BSP owners’ plans.
From Firkinhophead…
“According to Dave [BSP co-owner] this will be a separate venture in the vein of cool bar/bistro/beer/food concept (dare we call it a Gastro Pub?). If the lease negotiations go through they will take over July 1.
No word on the East Atlanta location, but from what I have heard getting a liquor license in the City of Atlanta is harder than getting into Augusta Country Club.”
Somebody pinch me. All of my wildest, slightly intoxicated dreams are coming to pass.
I wonder how they’ll change the space. That sloping parking lot would be problematic for a patio.
UPDATE: Dave adds this update to the BeerAdvocate site…
“nothing is official as of yet. lease negotiations are under way. details to follow once lease is signed. cheers”
Dave at The Brick Store told me tonight that the lease was signed on Thursday, so it’s a go! Expanded menu with Indian curries; even more beer and tons of outdoor seating!
This is what Decatur needs. The BSP boys are going to do a great job. The other merchants on Church Street are excited as well. Outdoor seating, fresh food, and great beers…..
