The establishment first (quietly) opened its doors in July 2015 at 772 North Highland Avenue NE, where Belly General Store was previously located. At the time of opening, J&J’s Bourbon Bar and Grill did not have a website or a Facebook page because the restaurant only wanted news to spread by “word of mouth.”
New management is apparently taking a different approach as the restaurant now has a Facebook page where photos were added as recently as March 30th.
The restaurant/hookah lounge/bourbon bar/bagel shop has been known for having a bit of an identity crisis.
When What Now Atlanta first reported on the forthcoming concept, a few commenters expressed their desire for a breakfast spot to replace Belly.
Did the initial owners make the mistake of compromising their original concept in an effort to appeal to the neighborhood’s demand for bagels?
Nearby boutique/cafe concept Henry & June also began serving bagels last year in what seems like an effort to fill the void after Belly’s shuttering.

I’m so sorry to post about the experience of last Tuesday lunch at The A Bar áng Grill, Atlanta’ airport was really bad! I have a picture to proof but I don’t see to attach.
I need more information re: A Bar n Grill, March 22, 2024. 6 guests flying in to Atlanta Airport from various U.S. locations for a 3 hour lunch meeting; flying home same day.
I would like to discuss accommodations, menu items, time availability…
Thank You
I had a wonderful experience at A bar n Grille on May 2, waiting for my ride. I had one of the best expresso martini’s I ever had! – I started with wine and did’t like it – the female bartender didn’t charge me. – delicious fries – great atmosphere for a crowded restaurant at Atlanta airport! – I think I left my pink kindle white there. But I can’t find their phone number to call and check.
I had lunch there on Tuesday, June 25th and food/service was great! However, I had to pay via the QR option but I never received a receipt. If someone could please reach out to me via the email listed to source a receipt as it is a business expense, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
