Henry’s Midtown Tavern is shutting down after 10 years. The LGBTQ-owned eatery at 10th and Juniper is the latest in a series of longtime local staples to close their doors.

Henry’s is closing at the end of the month due to an all-too-common Atlanta reason — skyrocketing rent.

“It is with great sadness and disappointment that I announce HENRY’S closing,” owner Maureen Kalmanson wrote on Facebook on Tuesday.” Our lease expired and tried as I might, I was not able to come to an agreement with the landlord that would allow us to continue.”
