Hot Dish Review

This is truly the biggest and best news I’ve heard in a long while. Grant Henry is opening a bar in the former Danneman’s Coffee location on Edgewood, diagonally across from Sound Table!

He will call it (no surprise here) Sister Louisa’s Church of the Living Room and Ping Pong Emporium….Come on in Precious! Looks like he is currently trying to clear out the space using the “grab this shit while you can” method via Facebook. And yes, there will be actual ping-pong tables!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Grant Henry (what what?), he is a local Atlanta artist who’s alter ago is Sister Louisa. He has been bartending at The Local on Ponce for several years, voted “Atlanta’s Best Bartender” by Creative Loafing and The Sunday Paper (or so he says!).

My personal experience with Grant is mostly via his appearances in Hollis Gillespie’s hilarious essays, then meeting him at the annual Telephone Factory Lofts art show in December a few years back. Hollis used to hold her writing seminars there too. It was hilarious to see the looks on the attendees’ faces when they saw the walls literally covered with Sister Louisa art! That is where I purchased one of my favorite pieces….a paint by numbers kitty with bright red words over it saying “Jesus Loves Pussy”. Check out similar awesome blasphemous art at his website. And you will surely be subject to much of it in his new establishment.

Word is he plans to open the joint in the next few weeks or so….praise the Lord and pass the PBR!

Coming soon to 466 Edgewood Avenue
