Last week East Cobb Tavern said it was closing temporarily, but initially a reason wasn’t given.
That led to some speculation of a COVID-related closure, but the restaurant located in the Shallowford Corners Shopping Center said on its social media channels it’s because there’s an ownership change in the works.
The messages didn’t say when the restaurant will reopen. We left a message seeking more information and were told that there’s nothing definite yet.
After customers left well-wishing messages on the restaurant’s Facebook page, owner Sean McCall responded that he was hopeful the tavern’s general manager and kitchen manager would purchase the business.
East Cobb Tavern opened in Jan. 2020 after replacing Keegan’s Irish Pub, with a revamped menu that included items beyond traditional pub fare.
The tavern also had become the venue for dedicated sports team followers, including Notre Dame football.
The expanded tavern concept got a new addition in East Cobb in August with the opening of McCray’s Tavern at Parkaire Landing.
