A barbecue restaurant-turned-tavern has closed in Marietta.

Loyal Q and Brew, which opened in late 2017 at 4880 Lower Roswell Road as a barbecue and beer focused restaurant, rebranded itself as the second location of Loyal Tavern in March, serving more traditional bar fare.

The restaurant closed suddenly last week, Tomorrow's News Today reports.

The first Loyal Tavern, which remains open, debuted in 2018 in Roswell.

Another Loyal Q and Brew location in Alpharetta that opened in 2018 also remains open.

The Loyal concept is from Bob Campbell, who spent years opening and operating multiple Taco Mac locations around Atlanta, and his business partners.

The restaurant provided a closing statement to the AJC:

After much consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cease operations at Loyal Tavern in Marietta. It has been a pleasure to serve our friends and neighbors in the community. We appreciate all of the hard work of our team members and have offered them positions at our other restaurants. We invite our guests to visit us at our Loyal Tavern location in nearby Roswell or Loyal Q and Brew in Alpharetta to enjoy all of their favorite menu items in the future.

Healthcare at College Park, a nursing home in Fulton County, GA, stands shuttered with its door chained on July 26, 2025, having closed in recent months.  Researchers at Brown University developed a list of U.S. nursing homes they predicted were at risk of closing based on 2023 data, and would be at elevated risk of closing due to the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act's cuts to Medicaid. Healthcare at College Park was on their list.  It survived past its last federal inspection in August of 2024 but has now closed down. The bill's biggest provisions will roll out over years starting Jan. 1. (Ariel Hart/AJC)
