Slabtown specialized in “casual pub food,” according to owner Kevin Gillespie, who is also founding chef of the Red Beard Restaurants Group.
Slabtown Public House Set To Close
Slabtown will reportedly shut down for good on Saturday, September 24, 2022.
Gillespie said that Slabtown just couldn’t be kept float, according to a statement obtained from the Chronicle.
“We have made the incredibly difficult decision to close Slabtown Public House permanently,” Gillespie said in the written statement. “The reality is that many small businesses have closed since 2020 either due directly or indirectly to the economic impacts of COVID-19; we are simply the latest to do so. In time we hope to be able to bring Atlanta new restaurants again.”
Across the past two years, scores of Atlanta restaurants have closed down due to COVID-19 and its many variants. Staying above water has oftentimes centered on keeping fewer staff members on board and shifting to contactless carry-out and delivery options.

Red Phone Booth is a speakeasy that never fails to satisfy. Here’s what one reviewer said about the place. “Once you obtain the secret number to enter and you make your way inside from the Red Phone Booth you will immediately notice the subtle dim lighting, leather couches, wood finishes, and a very extensive whiskey selection. From there you will shortly figure out that this will be added to your list of favorite bars. We lucked out and found two seats at the bar where Jason quickly greeted us and recommended the Smoked Old Fashion. This was the best Old Fashion I had to date. I was originally going to stick with the Old Fashion but quickly found out that the bartenders also give great recommendations for whiskey. I went with the Hibiki as it is hard to find at local bars in my area. Based on this Jason provided several whiskey/bourbon recommendations. We met Scott the Manager who was very attentive and shown us other whiskeys in their collection and background of different bottles. I couldn’t recommend this place more for craft cocktails, cigars, or whiskey. We will be returning!”
