Marlow’s Tavern has closed its doors in Emory Point, at 1520 Avenue Place Building B, Suite 120.
The restaurant chain’s last day in business in the Druid Hills mixed-use was March 29.
“We have decided to close our Emory Point location in order to focus on our future growth,” a company spokesperson told What Now Atlanta in a prepared statement Friday.
“All of our dedicated and valued employees will have the opportunity to work at another Marlow’s Tavern. Our people and teams are our top priority. We appreciated serving and are thankful for the support of the nearby businesses, local community and neighbors and hope they will visit one of our other locations soon.”
Marlow’s Tavern has 17 remaining locations in Georgia and six in Florida, according to the company’s website.
A new location is planned for Madison Yards in Reynoldstown.
The restaurant is the second Emory Point business to close in recent weeks.
Retailer Francesca’s shuttered in the mixed-use in late-March.

So disturbing to see our small businesses making the hard decision to close permanently.
Small businesses were the backbone of America, and the big corporations have just eaten them up– now we have a pandemic that further escalates that.
Dine-in restaurants can’t subsist on take-out and/or a 50% cut in dining capacity– plus 39 other requirements.
Sadly, I’m certain more closures are to come…
I am in complete agreement, add to that the heartless attitudes I have witnessed from our fellow citizens calling for boycotting restaurants that try to open and follow the guidelines just saddens me.
I live in Midtown and see people crowding restaurant patios and the park every day. I don’t see people protesting that, I see people protesting them opening a Dollar General because they wanted Becky’s Birkin Botique instead, even though a small business couldn’t afford to rent the space. A big part of Midtown’s problem starts with rents being too high because of all the money laundering, its not as extreme as San Francisco but something like 400 restaurants closed there in 2019, before the pandemic. Everyone is paying too much rent, and we send the problem welfare checks. Supply side economics, what fun.
Georgia Grille had been planning to close l-o-n-g before COVID-19 came onto the scene. I was told this by the owner back in late-2019. JSYK.
Hahaha it’s just like the major leftist publications calling everything a covid19 death even though the situation will have been someone skydiving without a parachute.
Those doggone leftists keeping Merica from being great again!
The Corner Tavern is mislabeled as Edgewood. This location is actually in O4W.
Umm
It’s on Edgewood, the street, not the neighborhood.
It’s on Edgewood
Believe the Folks restaurant chain is gone. Tucker location for sale at any rate. Not sure on Woodstock or Hiram.
All of Folks has closed, sadly.
Folks in Marietta closed before covid 19 was even an issue.
Hope that Golden Corrals & Fried Tomato Buffets reopen soon.
Buffets will definitely be a thing of the past unless they get very creative. I am not touching another spoon that someone else just touched to serve themselves, sorry.
No one that is interested in their health was eating at buffets before. I’m sure it’ll be the same going forward…
This is such a sad article to have to re-read with each update. I hate it for the folks having to make the decisions to close up shop for good.
The Georgian Club is the one that strikes me … kinda viewed that as an ‘esablishment’
Add Cacao Cafe in Va-Hi to the list…
Tassa Roti Shop (Alpharetta location) is permanently closed, per the website:

Sent comment awhile back regarding closing of Churchill’s in Buckhead and now the Your Pie store as well…
