Midtowners hoping for a new restaurant option in the former World of Beer might be disappointed.
T-Mobile has inked a deal to take over the 4,000-square-foot space, at 855 Peachtree Street NE Suite, and is already in permitting to build out a new store there.
World of Beer, situated in the Shops at Viewpoint, closed its doors early last year and has since sat vacant.
The mobile communications company is relocating its nearby storefront, at 903 Peachtree Street NE, which will soon be razed in preparation of a planned 33-story tower from Chicago-based CA Ventures.
Construction on the new T-Mobile could be completed by the end of September, a store manager in a telephone conversation told What Now Atlanta (WNA) Thursday.
T-Mobile isn’t the only business being forced out by the planned highrise.
Neighbors Noodle and Bezoria will also be closing or moving.
Bezoria Owner Yogi Patel at the end of last year told WNA he is scouting nearby spaces for a possible relocation of the quick-service restaurant.

I am a craft beer lover. Unfortunately, that’s all there was. The food was mediocre at best . . . went once and never returned. WOB sounded like the right concept for the location, but the execution was subpar. The beer list, though, was great!
Totally this. ^^^ Beer flights and giant pretzels with cheese dip. It was the only reason I ever went; everything else was just meh and the service always so spotty too (except if you sat at the bar). There are too many other options close to here for a patron to put up with that. But I do hope something else fun comes in here, because it is a great location. Something that keeps those pretzels please. 😉
Is it due to lack of customer interest or (more likely) to the property owners seeing all the construction and getting greedy? Midtown Alliance is clueless about creating value in that location.
Gordon Beirsch failed to do supremely crappy service.
I went once. The service was awful. Food- meh like everyone else felt. Beer list was good and that was all.
Any idea what’s going into this space? Looks like something is in the works there, but haven’t seen any announcements.
