    Meehan’s Public House Buckhead,which has several bars around metro Atlanta, recently announced that it was closing its Buckhead location. Friday, April 20 was its last day in operation.

    The tavern opened four years ago at 322 E Paces Ferry Road NE and fought to stay in the black in a competitive restaurant and bar scene that was tailored for the affluent.

    On its Facebook page last week, the restaurant told patrons that it was abruptly shutting down:

    “Regretfully, after some great years in the Buckhead community, Meehan’s Buckhead has decided to close its doors. We are grateful to all of those in the neighborhood that supported our pub. We thoroughly enjoyed each and every day with you guys, from our St. Patrick’s Day celebrations and fall Oysterfest events to Thursday night trivia and live music on the weekends. We’ll miss serving each and every one of you!

    The Irish eatery will still operate its Sandy Springs, Atlantic Station and downtown locations.

    The vacancy won’t last long. Sports bar Irby’s Tavern will open in place of  Meehan’s, What Now Atlanta reports.

    Pangea’s Afrosocial To Take Over Apache Cafe In Midtown
    craigsotherlistyahoo-com April 24, 2018
    2 Min Read

    Next month, burlesque is going afrosensual as Pangea’s Afrosocial takes place at the Apache Cafe in Midtown Atlanta.

    The event, which is scheduled for Monday, May 14, 2018 from 7 to 10 p.m., will feature the three earthSistas, who will take their turns on the podium. Host PrinCessYEME will take the audience through an extraordinary collection of talent on the stage.

    The night is being billed as one of “exploration” as well as “entertainment.” Guests will still be able to get the best food and drink that Apache offers each night.

    Although the hosts will be Anon the Griot and earthSista Princess Yeme, guests are encouraged, if so moved, to be bold and step up to the podium or stage and entertain, inspire, and as they say #BeTheArt.

    Photographers are also encouraged to shoot the artists as the night will lend itself to open figure drawing and a photoshoot. Pangea’s Garden will provide the figure models but artists must bring their own supplies.

    “A model is on the podium and no two artists have exactly the same view, thus their drawing or photography will reflect the perspective of the artist’s unique location relative to the model,” the promotion says. “And if just in case you don’t have the tools with you, there will be paper and colored pencils on select tables in the venue. Never be afraid to #MakeTheArt.”
