It’s hard to say if South Buckhead’s Thirsty Dog Tavern closed, considering the restaurant never fully opened.

Hear us out.

They’ve had “temporary” signage since they took over the space back in March 2010, covering the permanent signs from the former concept that occupied the space, Vita.

Located at 2110 Peachtree Road NW, the restaurant’s temporary signage was removed today exposing Vita’s, the former concept which originally opened in 2008.

Dave Heany, formerly of Star Community Bar in Little Five Points and Vita’s Tony LaRocco opened Thirsty Dog Tavern last year.

Phone calls to the restaurant go unanswered during business hours and their website, ThirstyDogTavern.com, no longer exists (if it ever did, that is).

It could be that they’ve finally gotten a permanent marquee and will be installing it shortly. Highly doubtful, but possible. We’ll let you know what we find out in the morning.

Even we wouldn’t send a dog out on a night like this.

Developing…

  1. All this for a virus that has a 99.97 percent recovery rate. Of course it didn’t help that Manuel’s stayed completely closed for a very long time and didn’t pivot business operations to take out when other restaurants did or that 75% of their customer base are aging Baby Boomers.

  2. The Trump Pandemic and the Trump Great Depression strike again. If only Trump hadn’t lied about the virus, calling it a hoax and the flu because the traitor cared more about the stock market than saving American lives, bars like Manuels wouldn’t be on the brink of collapse. Trump has really destroyed this country in every way

    1. True. We only have to look at the rest of the world to see that Covid was well controlled with minimal casualties in every country that doesn’t have a Trump. /s

      1. The way this administration handled the pandemic is an embarrassment– and literally cost us lives.
        Any competent leader would not have peddled conspiracy theories, gone against
        scientists/doctors, and further divided this country. He’s a psychopath.

  3. Didn’t the Maloofs own their building and the parking lot across the street until a few years ago?
    Now there are million dollar townhouses in that parking lot.

    1. They sold the building and the parking lot next door where the townhomes are. I believe they still own the parking lot across the street adjacent to Buddy’s.

    1. There are 274,000+ people who would probably disagree with you– except they’re not around to talk about it.
