Last Call: Pub 71 Closing On May 22

BROOKHAVEN, GA -- Pub 71 is closing.

After 10 years as one of Brookhaven's favorite watering holes and official -- and unofficial -- gathering spots, Pub 71 is making its last call next weekend, May 21 and 22.

According to a posting on its Facebook page, owner Robert Adamo said, "After some serious consideration I have chosen to not renew my lease option and we will be wrapping things up at our current location. There are many factors that play into this decision and please feel free to ask ME about them but the most important one is my desire to be not just a good Dad ... but to be a great Father.

"There are tons of great memories, traditions and events we have held at pub over the years and we wanted to have a chance to celebrate them ALL with you our great family, regulars, customers and everyone that we have had the privilege to see walk through our doors."

The bar has several events lined up before its closing. Brookhaven Bucks owner and GM Brad Dickison will be a guest bartender on May 21 and 22, during the day. Live music will be featured on May 21.

"Finally, I just wanted to say that one of my favorite experiences over the many years at PUB has been seeing the look on a customers face when they receive that perfect pint of liquid gold, we call Guinness," Adamo said. "It is with that Perfest Pint that I toast you ALL and say Cheers and THANKS for the support."
