Union Drinkery Coming to 3216 Georgia Avenue
Union Drinkery is planning to open at 3216 Georgia Ave.
A new notice of public hearing for a liquor license application was posted just before Christmas for Union Drinkery at 3216 Georgia Avenue. This is particularly interesting as the property is one of the properties that are part of the Planned Unit Development that ZP Georgia is planning for the 3200 block of Georgia Avenue. As a new business is now planned for one of the storefronts it would indicate that the development is a few years off yet. This conforms to what I’ve heard through other channels that Zuckerman Partners would be developing the property that includes the Post Office at Morton Street first, which they purchased earlier in 2014 from Neighborhood Development Company.
In reviewing the full notice, I didn’t see anything that gave me much concern, although I was curious that it states “No nude performances” as there does not appear to include an entertainment endorsement as part of the application. Still, its something that will need to be verified. The description of the business is as follows:
New neighborhood restaurant/lounge offering light snacks and recorded music. No nude performances. Total Occupancy Load of 97 with seating for 86 inside the premises. Summer Garden with seating for 63.
I’ll post updates as more information becomes available.
UPDATE: Word on the street is that “the space is going to be 3 different concepts. 2 fast casual food joints and the bar.” More details as I learn of them.
The full notice is below.

I now have a few more details about the property that I’m able to share. […]
