Hazel Jane’s, the less-than-a-year-old Eastside Beltline wine bar and bottle shop from parent company Revelator Coffee, is closing for good Saturday, September 5, according to an announcement on Instagram Monday.
“My darlings, it is with a very heavy heart that I have to inform you all that we have decided to permanently close Saturday, September 5,” Beverage Director Melissa Davis wrote in the social media post. “…What an amazing adventure this has been, no matter how short a ride it was. We’re so honored that the community loved us as much as they did, and we will miss every single one of you who graced this restaurant with your presence. Your love for us has been absolutely awe-inspiring. What a terrible time to not be able to hug you all, that might be the saddest part of this…”
Hazel Jane’s, named for Hazel Jane Raines, Georgia’s first licensed female pilot, is situated adjacent to Kevin Gillespie’s Cold Beer in North American Properties’ Edge development.
While a reason for the closure was not cited, Eater Atlanta, which broke the news Monday of Hazel Jane’s incoming closure, says “it appears the closure is due to financial troubles stemming from the ongoing health crisis.”

In a post of June 2017 announcing this development the company stated that 30% of the housing would be designated as workforce priced. Now it’s 10%. What happened?
Scott, here’s a statement from NAP:
“The percentage of affordable housing at Edge hasn’t changed. The property NAP purchased from Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. (ABI) required 20 percent affordable housing. NAP took it a step further and increased the designation to 30 percent of the housing component on ABI’s property to be affordable. This number hasn’t changed. However, the entire Edge development is comprised of an assemblage of 4 other parcels besides what was purchased from ABI. When you take the 30 percent affordable related to the ABI parcel and average that count over the total number of units for the 5 parcels, it works out to a little over 10 percent for the development.”
