“Chops is more than a restaurant – it’s an Atlanta institution. It’s not just the exceptional food and service that make it iconic, but the memories it creates – celebrations, relationships and once-in-a-lifetime moments,” President of Centennial Yards Brian McGowan said.
The Centennial Yards project is converting a 50-acre area known as the Gulch into a vibrant sports and entertainment district.
The Mitchell apartment building and Hotel Phoenix have already opened their doors and a few restaurants have been announced. In addition to Chops Lobster Bar, the historic meat-and-three Busy Bee Cafe also signed a lease.
Chops Lobster Bar, known for its quality cuts and seafood, opened on West Paces Ferry Road back in 1989. The two-story restaurant features Chops upstairs and Lobster Bar downstairs. It’s consistently ranked as one of the top steakhouses in the country.
Plenty of celebrities, athletes, musicians and politicians have dined at Chops over the years. Take a look:
