The space was briefly home to Black Sheep Tavern and Oyster Room, which opened in 2019 and has since closed. Before Black Sheep Tavern moved in, the spot was occupied by Eagle’s Nest Ministry church.

What Now Atlanta reached out, but Whatley was not immediately available for comment. We don’t know many details about the new bar, or when it plans to open, but we’ll assume bourbon and cigars will feature heavy on the menu.
