Coming Decatur Restaurants Among 'Atlanta's Most Anticipated'

DECATUR, GA -- A Japanese restaurant and a bowling-alley pub coming to Decatur are among the Atlanta food scene's most anticipated new restaurants.

Brush Sushi Izakaya and Comet Pub & Lanes, both slated to open soon, made Atlanta Eater's list of "Most Anticipated Atlanta Restaurant Openings" for spring of 2016.

Brush Sushi Izakaya will be helmed by former One Sushi+ executive chef and Craft Izakaya sushi chef Jason Liang. Eater reports that his concept for the Decatur restaurant will be "more inline with the traditions of the Japanese sushi-ya than Atlanta is used to seeing."

"Look for yakitori made from GrassRoots Farm chicken and Edomae-style sushi sourced locally and from the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo," Eater wrote.

Brush Sushi Izakaya will be located at 316 Church St. in Decatur and is set to open by the end of March.

Claiming the former location of Suburban Lanes even as a wave of development goes on all around it, The Comet Pub & Lanes is being created by the team behind Twain's Brewpub & Billiards in Decatur.

Yes, there will be bowling. And the pub will use locally sourced ingredients for its menu.

"On the menu, look for hand-tossed pizzas, burgers, and shareable plates, and the bar will pour craft beers and custom cocktails," Eater wrote.

The Comet Pub & Lanes will be located at 2619 North Decatur Rd. and is set to open in late April or early May.
