[EXCLUSIVE] Goldbergs Strikes Out With Atlanta Braves All Star Grill Downtown

The Atlanta Braves recently clinched their third consecutive division title and are again playoff bound.  That said, don't think you'll be able to cheer on your Braves from the Braves All Star Grill downtown.  After a multi-month hiatus, Braves All Star Grill on Peachtree Street downtown has closed for good.  The restaurant, located in the lobby level of the 200 Peachtree building, first opened in early 2015.  The roughly 8,000 square foot restaurant, like its neighbors in the building, occupies a portion of the former Davison's/Macy's department store. 
Goldbergs Group, the Atlanta-based restaurant group behind Goldbergs Fine Foods, also owns and manages the Braves All Star Grill at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.   The Hartsfield location, on concourse D, was the first Atlanta Braves All Star Grill to open and debuted in 2013.   

After fielding inquiries from concerned readers, ToNeTo Atlanta spoke to several Goldbergs employees, all of whom confirm there are no plans to reopen the downtown restaurant.   Further indication of the closure is found when you notice that the "new" chairs added to the Roswell Road Goldberg's as part of their recent renovation are actually from the Braves restaurant downtown.  

The Atlanta-based restaurant group continues to operate seven metro Atlanta locations of their Goldberg's Fine Foods restaurants as well as an additional three outlets of the bagel eateries at Hartsfield-Jackson.  All of the non-airport Goldberg's locations have reopened for both dine-in and takeout.  At the airport, only the Goldberg's on concourse A, a franchise, has reopened.  

Are you surprised to hear that the Atlanta Braves All Star Grill has closed?  Do you think this will be the year the Braves finally advance further into the playoffs?  What would you like to see open in place of the Braves All Star Grill downtown?

downtown Atlanta is a ghost town thanks to the Trump pandemic. Centennial Park is closed for some pathetic reason. No events with fans at Philips Arena or Mercedes Benz stadium. No office workers downtown. Georgia State students are at home. The Braves have left downtown. There's nothing left. Thanks for nothing Republicans

Local company, want to see them do well -- but these Braves themed places seemed like a huge stretch for them. If something like a Hudson Grille or other sports place tried it -- that might've worked better.

Also the Goldberg's airport locations, terrible compared to the original locations. IIRC they opened during the "we want more local" fad they went through...
