Burkhart’s has been purchased by Chris McDonald and Marco Penna, the owners of neighboring bar Oscar’s, Georgia Voice Monday first reported.
The Piedmont Heights Ansley Square bar shuttered in February “after a controversy involving racist Facebook posts” made by Burkhart’s previous owner.
McDonald and Penna closed on Burkhart’s over the weekend and plan on reopening the space in “about a month.”
“Marcos on Piedmont” and “1492” are two possible names for the revamped bar, according to additional reporting by Project Q.
The new owners will be re-introducing Drag to its entertainment lineup and are focusing on “fine food” and “everybody having fun.”

lol this place will die even fast than the rest of the other restaurants that have taken over this clearly but inexplicably cursed location. barrelhouse is complete garbage… the only reason they lasted 7 years was because college kids who didn’t know any better ate there. start the deathwatch asap
