Tag: Nick Leahy

If the name Nick Leahy sounds familiar, it’s because he’s done it all. He ran Saltyard, the Brookwood small plate restaurant for many years in the 2010s, opened the now-defunct American pub the Usual in Brookwood, and launched fine dining French spot Aix and accompanying wine bar Tin Tin pre-Covid. In 2020, he transformed Aix and Tin Tin into a more casual restaurant called Nick’s Westside. Last week, Leahy shuttered Nick’s, choosing instead to spend more time with his family and turn his attention to other opportunities—namely, a butcher and retail spot in Johns Creek. Called Vice Kitchen, it is slated to open January 20 on Medlock Bridge Road.

A new, seasonally changing bar has risen on the Westside. Formerly Tin Tin, Spring Bar is chef Nick Leahy’s latest creation, serving small plates and specialty cocktails inspired by the seasons.

Located in the Arya apartment building—not far from Leahy's former restaurant Saltyard—the Usual will serve "something for everyone."

Aix and its adjacent wine bar Tin Tin will close after service on Saturday. In their place, executive chef and partner Nick Leahy is creating what he hopes will be a neighborhood restaurant and bar, called Nick’s Westside

Rather than trying to procure ingredients indigenous to the South of France, chef Nick Leahy embraces the philosophy of all local, all the time. Expect a great drink with intelligent cocktails and a wine list that offers unusual bottles from southern France.

There is plenty to look forward to in Atlanta's dining scene this year. Here's our roundup of some of the buzziest bars and restaurants that are (hopefully) coming soon.

Garnish & Gather, a local company that creates weekly ready-to-cook meals (similar to Blue Apron and Peach Dish), has announced its chef lineup for the rest of 2014.

Saltyard—the small plates restaurant by La Grotta managing partner Christian Favalli and his wife, Kristy Jones-Favalli—is scheduled to open in the coming weeks in the Brookwood building on Peachtree Street.
