The Black Swan Tavern in East Cobb has closed permanently, according to an executive with the restaurant’s ownership group.
Andra Galteri, a vice president with the Dunwoody Restaurant Group, told East Cobb News Thursday that the tavern closed its doors on Feb. 27.
She said she couldn’t say why because “we’re in a legal battle with the landlord.”
There is no sign or notice on the outside of the restaurant to indicate that it has closed. Inside, the tavern’s furnishings remain.
Black Swan Tavern opened in November 2017 at the Merchants Festival Shopping Center (1401 Johnson Ferry Road) in what had been the longtime space for Churchill’s Pub.
Two other restaurants occupied that space briefly after Churchill’s closed.
Galteri said business had been good at the Black Swan Tavern, but she would not elaborate on the nature of the legal matter.
A calendar item still on the tavern’s website indicated a special St. Patrick’s Day celebration on Tuesday, and other promotional flyers remained in windows.
The Dunwoody Restaurant Group operates eight English-style pubs in metro Atlanta.
A Pier 1 Imports store at Merchants Festival also closed recently as part of several hundred store closings by the retailer, which has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Merchants Festival, managed by Ackerman Retail, includes a Target store. Other restaurants there include Jason’s Deli and a Which Wich sandwich shop.
