HOBNOB Neighborhood Tavern to Open Spirited Location #3 in Dunwoody’s Perimeter Place this Summer

Sean and Becky Yeremyan are expecting number three! The couple will open a third HOBNOB Neighborhood Tavern in Dunwoody’s Perimeter Place (1221 Ashford Crossing) with a due date sometime late this summer. Classic, Southern-inspired comfort food and a cozy, friendly environment endear the original Midtown location and Town Brookhaven outpost to customers, and these traits will carry across the perimeter into Dunwoody. In addition to a chef-driven menu of tavern fare with Southern flair, HOBNOB offers one of the most comprehensive bourbon lists in the Southeast and an extensive selection of craft beer, wine, boozy and non-alcoholic milkshakes and signature handcrafted cocktails. The Dunwoody location will be the perfect place to stop in after a long day of work or shopping. Area businesses will appreciate what HOBNOB’s new catering menu will do to feed productive meetings. HOBNOB Perimeter will serve lunch weekdays, dinner nightly and weekend brunch as well as serving up live music and daily specials such as Slider Night and BBQ Thursdays. Sean Yeremyan says “many Brookhaven customers told me they live in Dunwoody and would love to have HOBNOB there.” Wish granted.

Alert the Paparazzi: The Queen of Sandy Springs is at Hearth Pizza Tavern

Looking for the right way to show your thanks to the queen of your household on Mother's Day? Luckily for you, Hearth Pizza Tavern is tossing the dough and ladling the sauce on a new pizza dubbed "The Queen of Sandy Springs" that is sure to make your mom proud of your good taste. It's absolutely acceptable to say this queen is a little crusty and regally sauced. Tomato-rich passata di pomodoro sauce - not Hearth Pizza Tavern's usual homemade marinara - holds court on a healthy crust made from all-organic flour and its own natural germ. The whole outfit is adorned with whole, fragrant basil leaves and house-dried oregano. Queens and subjects, dig in.
