Buckhead Brewing & Lodge is looking to join Buckhead at 128 East Andrews Drive, according to reporting by Tomorrow’s News Today Atlanta. The space was previously home to The Blind Pig Parlour Bar.
The new concept comes from South Carolina natives Kenny Driggers and Tim Campau and native Atlantan Reid Olsen. Driggers is brewmaster for Southernside Brewing Co. in Greenville, South Carolina, serving as inspiration for the new Buckhead Brewing concept, according to the brand’s website.
Olsen is behind Olsen Hospitality Partners, known for operating dining concepts in Southwest Florida International Airport and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The website also lists Southern Brewing Co., Queen Park Social in Charlotte and soon-to-open South End Hideaway in Charlotte as Olsen Hospitality Partner concepts in addition to Buckhead Brewing.
The neighborhood brewpub in Buckhead will feature craft beer, cocktails, wine, a food menu and an arcade. It is designed to be “the pregame and postgame destination Buckhead has been missing,” according to the website.
“Buckhead Brewing is designed to be the place neighbors return to — after games, during the week, with family or just to unwind,” the website states. “Every decision, from beer sourcing to spatial flow, reinforces simplicity, warmth and repeatability. This is not a concept chasing trends; it’s a neighborhood institution built deliberately from day one.”
Buckhead Brewing will feature a sandwich shop for lunch, serving as a walk-up sandwich counter featuring sandwiches such as beef carpaccio, prime rib French dip and Southern shrimp po’boys. Dinner offerings will include Southern fried chicken sandwiches, burgers and sandwiches.
A website describes the location as “coming soon.”
