Smith's Olde Bar is up for sale
The property that houses Smith's Olde Bar on Piedmont Avenue is scheduled to go to auction on Aug. 28.
The combination bar/restaurant/music venue has resided in the space since 1993. A "property package" includes the notation that "Smith's Olde Bar is currently an at-will tenant and has received a 60-day notice to vacate, which is in dispute. The Ownership is working to resolve this ongoing issue."
There are currently shows booked at Smith's through the end of November.
The land beneath the Masquerade, a North Avenue staple for decades, was recently sold. But it's unclear what the long-term future holds for the building.
